Holly’s eyebrow raised, was that him asking her out on a date? She’d never had to experience the date scene. Men tended to stray away from a sarcastic over confident college student.
She realized she hadn’t said anything and was still standing with he mouth hanging open. Her cheeks burned crimson in embarrassment. Great now he thinks I’m a weirdo, good one Holly.
“Uh..I mean,” this was the first time Holly had ever been at a loss for words. She nodded. “yes, I’d love like that..”
Moments of silence passed where Ethan felt himself getting nervous and his heart rate slamming a bit harder with each passing second. He’s a grown man yet he was never as good with women as his charming brother. Andrew could flash a smile and have ten girls on him in an instant. It was as if he had some sort of super power!
Ethan, however, was rather bad with flirting ( unless it was for the job, he could pretend to flirt quite well ) and always unsure of himself. He had a slight fear of getting rejected, he supposed.
He did get a nod though and then as she smiled and confirmed he felt himself letting go of his breath in relief. “Great-- great! So, uh--” Alright, planning the date was the next step. “When are you free? I’m-- I mean, all my nights are pretty open. I’m busy mornings and afternoons on weekdays and then weekends I’m completely open. . . when do you think is a good time to go out?”
