A few minutes Matt came back into the front lounge.

"So how did thinngs go with Liz?"

"She took me back, after I begged, pleaded, and swore I was just being weird."

"And she took that?"

"Yeah. I'm glad too."

"Well I'm happy for you, Matt. Really I am."

Amanda gets up and hugs him tightly.

"Yeah and I want to thank you for finding me a really decent girl. And not being dumb and letting her get away."

"Anything for my best friend."

He hugged her tighter.

"Well me and Alex are going to go actually get something to eat now. So we'll catch you later."

"Okay and Amanda."

"Yeah?"

"Be careful."

"Thanks."

She smiled real big and felt her chest become really warm and fuzzy inside. And it felt alright to call him just her best friend, if felt good to have him with Liz. Things were actually starting to feel so much better.

**************************

Alex took her to some classy restaurant in the middle of the city, it was nice they were dressed in their best clothes with their best smiles stuck to their faces.

"So how are you feeling?"

"I'm feeling refreshed."

"That's good. I told you that you could do it."

"Yeah, but I couldn't have done it without you."

"Well I wouldn't go that far, it was mostly you."

"Oh stop being so modest."

"I'm not, you overcame your fear and I'm very proud of you."

"Haha. Thank you."

"Your very welcome."

"So, can I ask you a serious question?"

"Anything."

"Do you wanna try and date?"

"I though that this is what we were doing."

She sat there for a moment and he smiled and took her hand in his.

"Now that I've had the chance to see how strong and amazing you are, I honestly couldn't imagine being with anyone else."

"Ah. You make me so nervous." she said and he cheeks began to blush.

"Haha. That's all in the master plan."

This night was just getting started and already Amanda could feel herself falling more and more for the boy who was never meant to be.
