"forchristssake.. Hello?", I mumbled into my phone, still half asleep.

"Soooo how was your date last night, Aiden?", A voice giggled on the other end.

"T-Tess..? jeesus it's 5 in the morning why are you calling me?"

"Well sorrry for being curious about my bestest friend's date. So how did it go? Was she icky?"

"You couldn't have waited until lunch to ask me?... sigh I don't know why you keep setting me up with these girls Tess. They're all batshit crazy. Now goodnight." I slammed the phone back into the receiver, irritated that my sleep was interrupted by Tess...again.

Tess. She's been my friend since as long as I could remember. We were thick as thieves as kids, and now we're even closer. Our classmates used to call us Batman and Robin with me, of course, being Robin.. "Kids are dicks.." I thought as I drifted back asleep.

Later on in the day, I met up with Tess to do our daily ritual of eating lunch together.

We made a habit of eating at the same restaurant. It became a tradition forged in middle school, and it had stuck since. I easily figured out where Tess was, since I could see her sexy red dress flow in the warm spring breeze from the parking lot.

"So tell me about your date, dick." Tess spouted as I sat down, "Oh and I already ordered for you."

That was Tess for you; always straightforward, no nonsense.

"Thanks.. I think.... Tess, be honest. Where the fuck do you dig these people out of?" I said.

"What do you mean?", she said with a slight grin

"I mean, why is it that every girl that you insist is 'cute,smart and funny', turns out to be either a bitch, or in this case, a paranoid psycho?"

"Oh no.. What did Angie do?", she said, trying to mask her laughter."

"It's not funny!" I bellowed. "As soon as she sat down she was talking about how she wasn't supposed to be here, and that she was being watched. She kept looking over her shoulder like she was worried someone would come out of nowhere and blindside her"

"Oh man.. That is too funny! But I'm sorry, I seriously thought she was okay!", Tess said. She was fighting back tears now.

"Ugh.. Tess is such an ass. She probably knew she was a weirdo when she set us up", I thought to myself.

"Can I get you something to drink sir..?", a voice said.

I looked up and saw...her. Her auburn
