"So what do you say?" I ask excited.

I wanted her to get to know me more so I thought it would be perfect to invite her for dinner

"well I'll have to ask Jenna and then I can tell you" she say sand picks up her coffee and leaves

I saw her getting coffee and I thought this was the best opportunity to ask her.

We have been friends for a few months now so I thought she should get to know me more. Maybe she'll actually start liking me.

I text Jeremy

Hey I invited Catherine and Jenna over for dinner on Saturday

What!? Dude I invited a girl over already on Saturday. Cancel it

I gasp, but I wasn't going to let some girl he just met ruin this for me

No way, you cancel

No

I start getting angry at text him

Look all you do is get in bed with them and then break their hearts but I'm not doing that. I am doing the right thing and not acting like a scumbag like you

He doesn't reply and I realize that I just sent the worst thing ever. I called my best friend a scumbag just because he isn't like me? What have I done?

I get home, hoping that he hasn't broken anything or changed the locks

I run in and scream "Jeremy! I'm so sorry man! I didn't mean that, it was just my anger talking! I'll set the dinner up for another day!"

I finally reach the kitchen and see him drinking a can of beer and his face looks more surprised than angry

"What the hell are you doing here?" he asks.

We talk about the girl and thee chat. Turns out he read the text and called the girl and told her not to come.

I start feeling guilty but then he says that it was because Jenna was coming and that he wanted to meet her.

I apologized again and he just laughed and said I was being too sensitive

Saturday finally arrives after a week of hard work. Jenna and Catherine being awkward around each other. But then finally making up

"So you talk to Catherine and keep her busy while I talk to Jenna, okay?" Jeremy asks while placing the plates on the table

"fine but please be a gentlemen at least. Don't you dare start a fight with Catherine" I say while placing the utensils next to the plates

"wait why would I fight with her?" Jeremy asks while looking into the kitchen

"well because she hates guys like you and you're are a guy like you" I say with my hand on my hip. Who thought that getting a table ready was so exhausting?

"heh well I am a guy like me" I shake my head and we continue to set the table.

Finally the bell rings and Jeremy and I look at each other. Then we start running around the house to make sure everything is clean.

when we check everything we go to the door and exchange glances and then let out a breath

I open the door and see Jenna looking up at Catherine.

she looks pissed and her arms are crossed against her chest and Catherine has her hands up and is smiling down at her.

Finally Jenna and Catherine turn, Jenna looks at her feet blushing hard. Catherine introduces herself and Jenna.

I look up at Jeremy and see he is taken away by their beauty.

Dinner was fun, Jeremy kept flirting with Jenna but it seemed like he was into her and it seemed odd but I was speechless.

Catherine wore a beautiful dress that fit her and her hair was set so well as well.

she didn't wear a lot of makeup but it was perfect because she has natural beauty.

I couldn't keep my eyes off of her and I sure as hell couldn't speak. She teased me a lot and I was too embarrassed at points.

At the end Jeremy got Jenna's number. It was good but I was worried since she is such a sweet girl and Jeremy is sort of a douche.

Jeremy and Jenna, together? Well they are cute together but their personalities clash too much. Well I'm kind of a hypocrite since Catherine and my personalities clash as well.

She is cynical and I am hopeless but we're still friends and I am kind of in love with her. Would she settle for me though? I mean, just being friends with such an amazing woman is a dream but dating her would be paradise.

It's weird right?

I mean I have grown up hearing how it's usually girls who are so into love and guys who don't care much for it. But it's kind of the opposite for Catherine and I.

I always dream about getting married and waking up next to the love of my life but Catherine. Well, she is more into anything except love.

It has always been like this, I like girls but they think I'm too 'feminine' or 'a pussy'.

But a guy who is into love isn't that big of a deal but I guess they have grown up just like me.

I don't care about what others think, I only care about what Catherine thinks about me. I'm sure she accepts how I am but she also thinks I'm a creep.

I messed up, I should have just played it cool but when you fall in love at first sight you can't play it cool. Falling in love at first sight? I guess that's what happened.

I saw her in the lobby and my heart skipped a beat and my mind went blank. Whenever I talk to her I try to think of some way to be cool but it never works.

I guess being embarrassed is just a quirk of mine and when I'm around her I can't be normal.

Oh no, I do love her. But it's wrong, it is way too wrong, she is my boss and I'm sure she thinks I'm some creep. But trying to stop it will just make me fall more for her.

Like I read one day:

'Follow love and it will flee thee, flee love and it will follow thee'

Wait doesn't that mean if I keep chasing after her then she'll run and if I ignore her then she might chase after me?

Nah, that's like a tip for teens and when they try to get their crush to notice them.

Well I definitely don't want to manipulate her feelings for me.

Love can't be forced, it just happens. Also beneath every Cynic there lies a romantic, and an injured one. So I'll do whatever I can to heal her broken heart.
