Chapter 2

Joshua and Dana finally reached the restaurant. Joshua got out of his side of the car and ran to the other to open the door for her.

"Thanks." she murmured.

She had on a long red dress. It was hard finding the perfect one, but she found it. She had on black, three inch high heels. Joshua wore a black tux. She admitted to herself that he looked handsome.

"You look beautiful." he told her.

"Thanks" she smiled and blushed despite herself.

"My pleasure." he said and the waitress came to seat them.

The food was delicious. She ordered the pasta and he had the same. After they were done they decided to hit the dance floor. Unfortunately, a slow song came on as soon as they stepped onto the floor.

He hesitantly put his arms around her waist. She smiled politely at the awkward moment. She placed her arms on his shoulders. She recognized the song, it was one of her favorites.

"You know, Brian's a lucky guy." Josh commented, a little too close to her ear.

She gasped. She forgot all about Brian.

"What?" he asked with concern.

"I forgot about him." she shamefully admitted.

"Oh.." he didn't know what to say to that.

She suddenly stared up into his eyes and thought she saw something in them.

"Josh," she began, but never finished. She ran out of the restaurant.
