How... NOT to date a guy.

Chapter Two- Don't call him straight after the first date.

"Hello?" Josh answered a bit uneasy.

I could hear giggling in the back ground and a sicking feeling was starting to form in the pit of my stomach.

"Oh hey Josh, just me.. Maddi.. just um checking to see if this is your number" I said weakly with a failed giggle at the end. 

"Oh really?"

This conversation was failing quickly. no scratch that.. this whole thing with us has just deflated.

"Well yeah, last person who gave me his number sorta gave the wrong one" I tried to chuckle and ended up with a snort on the end. I mentally face palmed myself and came to the conclusion that I was not walking away or hanging up with a second date with this guy.

"Wow you weren't kidding about calling me. Didn't think you would call practically straight away" Josh rudely said adding in a shush on his end of the phone.

Who was he shushing? 

"Well doesn't that usually mean to call someone after you get their number?" I asked confused as to why he was being so rude, he did give me his number.

"Look, Maddi, please don't call again.. you really are thick!" with that he hung up.

I stared at the phone perplexed as to what just happen. In what parallel universe were men made then join into this one? I mean they have got to be made somewhere else cause they certainly are not from here!

"..And then he just hung up" I exaggerated and threw myself face first onto my bed.

 I felt a large soft object hit me repeatedly then a large object fall down beside me on the bed. I turned my head and saw Charlie rubbing her temples with her eyes closed.

"What was that for?" I whined turning so I was lying on my back.

"You really are thick aren't you?" She whispered more to herself then to the both of us.

"What do you mean?" I sat up a little looking at her.

"Well we did tell you not to call him didn't we?" She drilled hitting me again with the pillow.

"Yeah but, really, why do I need to listen to you?" I pursued starting to feel angry at myself that I was once again a failure.

"hmm lets think.. I'm the one in a relationship, I'm the one that's waiting for a wedding ring and I'm your best friend!" She listed off sitting up and leaning back on her elbows. She was right and she knew that I knew she was right. Sighing I looked back at her and saw her raise her eyebrow as if to say "I told you so" in the not so rude way.

"Alright, I'm sorry, You were right" I confessed joining her in sitting up.

"um hm" she coughed, there goes that damn eyebrow move she has.

"Alright, oh great best friend, you where right and I am eternally grateful for you, h you royal highness" I quickly replied adding in an eye roll at the end.

"That's better" Charlie chuckled and gave me a quick hug!! "Say I have an idea."

Oh no!

"Why don't we..."

Please don't say, please don't say, please don't...

"Go out and have a good night on the town to forget this douche bag?" 

Damn she said it.

"Oh I don't know Char, I'm don't think It would be a..."

"Of course it will be, get you back out to meeting someone new and a great excuse to go drinking, I'll ask Matt.

Internally I groaned and started with as little enthusiasm as I could muster up, walking towards my closet. This was going to be a long night! 

I looked back to see Charlie had already ran out of my room and I could hear voices in the room next to me. Yep she was talking to Matt.. I really hope he would say no. I started looking through my closet to see what I could wear. I started pulling out dresses and then decided that I wanted to go casual. I was not ready for another shut down from another random guy. If I go casual they will see that I wasn't ready to be with anyone.

"Put them back Missy, you are wearing a dress" I jumped at Charlies voice. Damn she was like batman.. just showed up out of no where!

"What the actual freak" I exclaimed shoving my jeans back into the drawers.

"you know I will hear you swear one day and when I do, I'll be recording it! Don't fight with her tonight I already lost the battle" Matt grouched walking in all dressed and ready to go out. That was quick.

"No wear this get dressed, hair, make-up and lets go!" with that Charlie left the room with Matt in tow.

45 minutes later I was sitting in the back of a taxi crammed between Matt's muscular build and and Charlie's "larger" build. I thought about the advice Char and Matt were giving me. Maybe it was time to listen to them.. What have I got to lose?
