Amber turned her notepad to face me.

“Well, if you follow this plan, you've got nine hours to go from 'weird' to intimately comfortable." eK

Why the hell was I feeling nervous? This wasn't an ordinary date. It's not like I didn't know the girl very well or was scared about meeting her parents. It wasn't Like I even had some worries over whether or not

I'd get Lucky tonight. The mutual desires were pretty much known.

This was Cherys, a girl I'd known forever. She'd practically lived at my house with my sister during high school. And I roomed with her for 3 years of college. Up until a few months ago, I saw her almost every day.

So why was I shifting my weight from foot to foot like I had restless leg syndrome? And why were my hands clammy and dripping sweat? And why the hell was I still standing here without ringing the damn doorbell?

I wiped my hands off on my jeans one last time, feeling the crinkle in my pocket where I'd stashed Amber's agenda. Then I reached up and hit the bell. I was already ten minutes Late.

The door opened less than a minute later.

“Hi David!" Cherys looked as stunning as ever, wearing a white cotton summer dress cut short enough to show off her Long legs and also cut low enough to show off her ample bosom. Subtle patterns in green brought out that particular color in her eyes and the morning Light illuminated her golden skin wonderfully.

My jaw dropped as I instantly imagined what she looked like naked through the thin fabric. "Uh... hey, gorgeous..." I managed to croak.

“I was beginning to worry you weren't going to show," she pouted prettily.

I was instantly defensive.

“You know I'd never do that to you. Cherys, it's me." I realized just then how fast the words had come forth, without my nervous hesitance.

“You're right; it's you. And I couldn't be happier.” She leaned forward and pecked my cheek, looping her arm around mine as she came forward and closed the door behind her.

I felt my worries starting to melt away under the radiance of her smile. And then I escorted her to my car. I held the door for her Like a true gentleman and then hustled around to the driver's seat.

I was still buckling myself in when Cherys asked, “So what's the plan?

Are we just going to crawl into your bedroom and fuck?"

I grinned at her.

“Nope. Just relax and enjoy." I started the car and then we were off.

Cherys waited all of ten seconds before asking. "So where ARE we going?"

“It's a surprise. But before we get there, I really want you to know-"

I pulled up to a stoplight and then turned in my seat to face her.

“There's no pressure here. We do as much or as little as you want.

Right now, you're my good friend and I just want to enjoy a nice Sunday with you."

Cherys leaned in, her eyelids dropping smokily and showing off dark eyeshadow and long lashes. "But what if I don't want to be just a friend?" she husked.
