Mike walked around the store in a daze. He just met his new co-worker and was awestruck. He had never seen, or met for that matter, a more beautiful girl in his life. She was perfect for him; not too tall, not too short. Not too thin or too snobby. She worked with him at the drugstore. He was a cashier and she was his assistant. He thought he had to know her better.

 

Mike approached her on their break. "Jenni..."

 

"Yes Mike." The blond replied, looking up at him with her big blue eyes.

 

"Um, what... what are you doin... Fri-Friday night?" A nervous Michael finally asked, looking at his feet.

 

"Nothing, why?" She blinked.

 

"well, wouldya... What i'm tryin to say is, wouldya...." Mike tried to speak. The words skipped over themselves as they exited his mouth.

 

Jenni laughed, "I'd love to. What time?"

 

Mike stuttered, "uh, well, um, uh... 6?"

 

"That's perfect."

 

"Uh, ok. Ok." He smiled. "Groovy. Groovy."

 

Michael and Jenni secretly counted the days until their big date. When Friday finally arrived, they were both more than exited. Mike picked Jenni up at six sharp and they went to the coolest club in town, "The Cat's Meow". They had a great time and continued dating, eventually marrying and having two kids; a boy, Michael Jr. and a girl, Hannah.
