The two of us walked side by side both of us awkward and still sweaty from the runs we were both just on.

I don't know why...but all of a sudden I felt really...nervous in front of him.

There was just something different about the atmosphere between us.

I felt less pressure yet I was more nervous..

It didn't really make any sense, but thats how I felt..

But I don't think I was the only one that was feeling this way...

Whenever I asked him a question he'd start blushing. I have no idea why...but I guess that just goes back to the whole change in atmosphere between us..

We kept walking down the side walk in search of a place to go and eat lunch.

Just as we turned the corner, we saw a small cafe down the street so that's where we went.

Walking up to the front entrance I noticed an elderly couple that was sitting at an outdoor table at the cafe, staring at us.

I unintentionally eavesdropped on their conversation as we walked in.

"Oh James, do you remember when we used to do couple activities like that..? They're so cute." The woman said to her husband.

I couldn't help but smile as I walked inside behind I.M.

As the hostess seated us...things still felt pretty awkward...

But once we sat down alone for a few minutes...things got way better.

We ended up keeping up a conversation by talking about, of all things, my so called brother Jooheon.

Well. Okay. We didn't talk about Jooheon...we just made fun of him...

"I don't know what is wrong with him! I swear his brain actually sometimes just crawls out of his head when he's talking. He just says whatever pops into his head and doesn't think about the consequences."

"Trust me! I feel the same way!", I laughed. "When Jooheon was eleven he went through this really really bad lying phase, and his mom told him that if he kept Lying about things his tounge was going to fall out...so after that, for six months straight he never lied about anything.  But I think he also thought that that meant he needed to share everything that randomly popped into his head."

"Seriously...?"

"Mhmm." I nodded.

Then I.M. bursted out laughing in response. "He really is an idiot."

"Yeah." I laughed. "In fact I think that's why he says such stupid things today...he's just telling the truth. The things he says may be dumb but it is what's in his head."

The two of us just continued laughing and making fun of Jooheon until out waitress came.

She had short black hair and seemed to be in her late twenties, early thirties, and was a bit too bubbly for my taste..

"Well hello, aren't you two just the cutest..? I love see I couples come in here on dates.  It's the greatest. It just makes my day."

I.M. and I just exchanged glances as she babbled on.

"So how long have you been together?"

"Umm...we're not.." I tried to say...but she wasn't having it...

"Oh, so its your first date...?"

I just turned and looked at I.M. for help.

All of sudden he winked at me and looked straight at the waitress as he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him.

"I'm sorry ma'am...what did you say your name was..?"

With a confused look she responded "I-I'm sorry I'm afraid I didn't my name is Melissa."

"Well." I.M. continued,  "Melissa, I'll have you know that this is our 37th official date, excluding all of the times we have made out in my mom's car or the times I've felt her up in my bedroom. So technically it would be our 203rd date. And we treasure our time together very much so if you could just quickly give us the menus so we may order and go partake in another session of one of our unofficial dates, that would be great."

It took everything I had to keep myself from laughing.

But the look on the waitress's face was priceless and I didn't want to ruin it.

Her face transformed from her bubbly, too happy smile, to a horrified  grimace.  Not to mention she was blushing darker than a tomato. But she quickly just nodded and practically threw the menus down in front of us be for sprinting back to the kitchen.

The moment she was gone we both lost it and almost died laughing.

About ten minutes later we both calmed down enough to talk.

But strangely we didn't.

We both just simultaneously realized that his arm was still wrapped around my waist and our eyes slowly met.

It felt as if time was standing still as he slowly started to inch his face closer to mine.

He was just an inch away, and I smiled to myself as I decided to ruin the moment.

"I.M. Your tounge is going to fall out."

We both almost died laughing as he lost it and fell backwards into the booth.
