    Mike got a little lost with all the thinking but he thought that he understood. He didn't laugh he was too busy with all the thinking.
    "Yeah, so basically what you are telling me is that you have been thinking about me. That's a good thing right?" Now all of a sudden Mike knew what she was thinking. He knew now was a bad time to laugh.
    "Well, I was thinking that maybe you liked me or something. I know that sounds dumb and if you never want to talk to me again that's fine. But I just want to say before you dump me that I think you are one of the nicest, funniest, coolest guys I have ever met." Charlotte was so happy that she managed to say that. She had never done anything like that... ever.

    Back upstairs Jill was going through some of the books that Grey had shown her.
    "I just want to tell you one thing. And that is that ever since I saw you at the party I have not been able to get you out of my head. Look I know that you don't know me and that I probably don't know you, but I know when I am in love and I am afraid to say that I am in love with you." Grey was just laying his heart out hoping that Jill wouldn't trample on it. There was a long silence before Jill said anything. She was taken off guard she knew he was good looking and seemed nice but he really didn't know him.
    "You're right you don't know me, and I don't know you." Jill started for the door. She was angry. She stopped midway and said "How dare you, how dare try to pass me off to one of your friends then try to 'pick up' on me. Did you ever think that maybe I should be let in on your little plans? At least Mike had the decency to tell me what was really going on. Now I don't believe either of you." Jill was pissed now and almost out the door. All she wanted was a normal life but it seemed that all the people that she knew were trying desperately to make it abnormal.
    "Wait! I know I didn't know what I was doing but I do now. I know that the feelings I have for you are real. I'm sorry. This started on the wrong foot. Let me start over again, please I know that I must have taken you by surprise but when I saw you tonight I was hoping that I wasn't in love with you. Please let me start over again." Grey was holding on to his last string. He knew that he couldn't let her walk out; he knew he would never see her again if she did. Jill didn't even want to be near him but for whatever stupid reason she decided to hear him out. She stood not saying a word. Grey walked up to her.
    "Hello, I'm Grey, I'm an idiot, and I don't know what to say most of the time. I know that you are friends with Charlotte and that you have been hanging out with Mike. I know that you play volleyball; I know that you like parties and I know that you look wonderful in blue. I know that you think that I am an asshole and I know that you're wondering why you stopped to listen to me. I know that when you smile it makes me feel like I never have before. I know now that when you are even near me I can't think straight. I know that if you walk out that door I will never see you again. I know that if you did that I could never live with myself again knowing that I upset you. I also know that somewhere just somewhere you may have thought of me at least once. I also know that if you give me a chance I can make this all up to you and really get to know you. I know that I will like whatever I find. I also know that I have already lost your trust and I am sorry for that." Grey was looking in her eyes to see her answer before she said it. He covered his heart and prepared for the worst.
    "You're right. I have thought of you, I do like you, I think that what you did for Mike was one of the sweetest things. You're right about my trust, you have lost it." Jill didn't know where this was going anymore she was confused and didn't know whether she should slap him or just start crying. She hated him for starting this too fast she wasn't ready to feel these things. She wasn't ready to have him to
