I Never Thought There'd Be You

“Thank you, Josh…” I said, wiping a tear from my eye. “You don’t know how much this means to me.”

“Anytime, Amy. Really. I’m always here for you, no matter what.”

I smiled. “How did you know I was lying?” I asked him.

“Lori got married, remember? I was there, Amy.” He laughed.

I laughed too. “Oh yeah, I forgot…”

“Plus, you’re a terrible liar.”

“Am not!”

“Are to!”

“Am not!”

“Are to!”

“Am not!”

We both stopped and laughed. He hugged me again.

“So, I was just about to go to dinner, you wanna come?” He asked.

“I’d love to! But I left my wallet at home.” I said, stuffing my hands in my pockets.

“I’ll pay.”

“No, Josh, don’t.”

“I just want to be a gentleman.”

‘Josh-“

“Amy, come on. Just let me buy you dinner this one time.” He looked at me with puppy-dog eyes.

“You know I can’t say no to those puppy eyes.” I laughed.

“Why do you think I’m using them?! Pleaseee. Don’t make me quiver my bottom lip.”

“Lil’ Pouty Joshie.” I laughed.

“Lil’ Pouty Joshie wants to take Amy out to dinner!”

“Okay, fine.” I said.

“Good.” He grabbed his wallet and we walked out to his car.

“Let’s go.”
