You Were Meant For Me

~*Amanda's Point Of View*~

"Can I ask you something?" I asked Stephanie. She was over at my apartment helping me wrap Christmas presents. Since the guys would be leaving to visit their families in three days, we were celebrating Christmas on the 15^th which was in two days. I was going to Redding to spend Christmas eve and morning with Ashley's family and then we were going to San Diego to visit my family. After that we were flying to New York where we would spend New Year's Eve. The guys were bringing in the New Year on MTV. They were co-hosting some sort of New Year's eve special with Carson Daly.

"Sure. What did you want to ask me?"

"Well, um, this is probably going to sound weird, but how long was it before you and Orlando, um, made love, had sex, whatever you wanna call it. How long were you guys a couple before you had sex?" Stephanie turned a bright shade of red and I giggled.

" First of all don't call him that. Call him Andy, nobody calls him Orlando. Second of all, we waited a year, but it was different with us. I had only known and been friends with Andy for three months when we started dating. You and Ashley have known eachother for twenty years and it's not like you haven't done it before so..." She said trailing off.

"I know. It's just that this is like and entirely new relationship. We're older and we both changed in the last four years. It's like having an entirely new boyfriend that I've never had before. I don't want to rush things, I think that was part of the problem with Jacob is that we rushed things. Then again, I've known Ashley longer, and we have slept together before. Plus, I REALLY, REALLY want to be with him like that. I just don't know if he feels the same way."

" Have you guys even come close yet."

" We have a few times, but we were always interrupted or one of us would stop."

"Why don't you talk to him about it."

"What would I say? Hey Ashley, how come we haven’t had sex yet?"

"Why not? I mean you want to know don't you? Why not just ask him about it?"

"I guess. I don't know. ARGH! I guess, you're right though." I said, sighing in frustration.

" Can I ask you something?" I said, sitting down on the couch next to Dan.

" Sure. What's up? Dan asked turning off the TV.

" Uhmm... well it's just that erm... me and Manda... and..."

"What?"

"Meandmandahaven'thadsexyet!" Ashley exclaimed, all in one breath.

"What? Dude, I didn't understand a single word that you just said.

"Me and Manda haven't had sex yet."

"Oh. Uhm, well what do you want me to tell you? I mean I'm not your relationship, I don't know why the two of you haven't slept together yet. Why don't you just ask her about it."

"And say what? Hey Manda, wanna have sex? Yeah, I'm sure that that would go over real well."

"Sure, I mean why not. It's not exactly like the two of you have never been together before and you have known eachother for 20 years."

"Still. I don't want it to be like that. I want it to be the perfect moment."

"Then just wait. It'll come along eventually or you can talk to her and hurry up the perfect moment so that it comes sooner."

"Uhm.....ok. I guess. ARGH! Blah, I guess I'll talk to her then." I let out a frustrated sigh and went up to my room to call Amanda.

"Hello?" I heard her voice say through the phone when she picked up.

"Hey it's me."

"Hey me, how are you?'

"Real funny."

"I thought so. So what do I owe the pleasure of this call?"

"Do you wanna go out to dinner tonight?"

"You mean like a date?"

"Well, yeah. Do you want to?"

"YEAH! I mean, we've never been on a date before. Well, I mean we have, but we've never been on like an actual date date." I laughed at her obvious enthusiasm at the prospect of actually going out on date.

"I know. I thought that it would be a nice change as opposed to our normal Friday nights."

"I love you Ashley. This means so much to me you have no idea."

" I love you too. I'll pick you up at 6:30 ok?"

"Alright see you then. Love you, bye."

"Love you too." I said hanging up the phone.

I squealed when I got off the phone with Ashley. I jumped up and started dancing around the room.

"I'm assuming he had good news." Stephanie stated, smirking at my sudden perkiness.

"He's taking me on a DATE!!" I shouted, squealing again.

"Haven't you guys ever been on a date before?"

" Well, yeah, but not like an actual date date, you know?"

"Yeah." Stephanie said giggling along with me.

" I have to find something to wear. He's gonna be here in..." I started looking down at my watch. "An hour! Come on, you're going to help me find something to wear!" I said, grabbing her hand and dragging her up stairs with me to my room.
