Lenny's POV
What Eric told me he wanted to do repeated over and over in my head.
"Admit your feelings to him. Something, your not making any progress. Yes he's married. Yes you guys had a drunk incident. But if you really want to forget about it then maybe you have to find someone else."
And how am I suppose to do that? Well...
"Sorry I'm late." the guy with brown blondish hair said sitting down in the chair across from me.
"Ah no problem at all." I said looking him up and down.
Hmmm, it looks like he takes care of himself. He blinked and I laughed nervously, guess I stared to long. Must of seemed like I was checking him out. I thought as I drank some of my water.
"So, Henry right?" I asked and he smiled then nodded.
"Yes, that's me." he said and I nodded.
Ugh fucking blind dates. Well at least he's not bad looking.
"So what do you like to do in your free time?" I asked.
"Well um." he looked down flushing. "I sorta like soaps-" he began to say.
"Really?" I smiled instantly. "Me too." I said and he smiled back.
"Most people think its weird." he said chuckling.
"Yeah tell me about it." I said rolling my eyes smiling.
"So what are your hobbies?" he asked before drinking some of his water.
"Well I'm a good cook I suppose. Making healthy drinks is a speciality." I said smiling proudly.
"Ah cool like smoothies, right?" he asked as our waitress came and I nodded smiling.
Maybe this wouldn't be such a bad idea after all.
Henry and I learned lots of things about each other. Like how he hates socks on his feet when sleeping. I jave to have something on my feet. And other things and we also laughed alot.

We walked out the restaurant laughing then my eyes widen. "Is that your car?" I asked and he nodded smiling.
"Where's your car?" he asked and I flushed.
"Uh well... I thought you would stood me up so I took a taxi." I said laughing nervously and he shook his head smiling.
"Well how about I drive you home for free?" he asked and I smiled.
"Yeah, I'd love that." I said and he opened the door for me making me flush.
"Tha-Thank you." I said and he smiled.
"No problem." he said and closed the door then went on his side and got in.
As we drove we talked a little bit about our life. It was nice, just talking about things.
"So;" he said then their was a long pause afterwards. "Past relationships?" he asked as we stopped at the red light.
I flushed when reality hit me. Very very hard. I have never been in a relationship. And it's all because I was stuck on dumb dumb.
"Uh well I neever been in one." I said and he gasped.
"What, really?" he asked as the light turned green and I nodded.
"But your a nice guy." he said as he drived and I flushed more.
"Well... I sorta love someone." I said and immediately regretted it.
Why in the world would you tell your date that? I mentally hit myself. Stupid stupid stupid.
But he smiled which made my face burn. "Love is a good thing. Maybe you shouldn't be on this date with me." he said as he parked.
"Wha-What but you see the person I love-" I began to say.
"Len!" a familiar voice said and I turned quickly. My eyes widen as Van ran up to the car. "Wha-What are you do-" I started to say.
"Waiting for you. Len we need to-" he stopped and glanced at the Henry, I guess realizing I was in someone else's car. "Oh um... I guess it can wait." he said looking back at me.
Henry glanced at Van then looked at me smiling before looking back at Van. "Nah he's all yours." Henry said and I looked at him with widen eyes.
"Henry." I said through clenched teeth but he ignored me.
"I see it is very important. I was just dropping him off." Henry said and Van nodded as Henry unlocked the doors.
"Henrryyy." I hissed and he smiled.
"Good luck." he said and winked.
I glared at him as Van opened the door for me. I looked up at him and flushed. "Tha-Thank you." I said as Van helped me out the car.
"Your welcome." he said smiling then closed the door. "Sorry again." he said to Henry.
"No problem." Henry said smiling. "Night you two." he said before driving off.
I sighed and glanced at Van. He had his hands in his pockets staring up at the sky. I guess I stared too long because he looked at me and I blushed. Our eyes met and I looked down quickly feeling my face heat up more.
"Len can you tell me;" he said and I looked up slowly. "Tell me what happened that night." he said.
