I acted shocked. "Marissa, are you asking me out? I gotta tell you, I don't date."
She rolled her eyes and snorted. "No, this isn't a date. I just know that you don't really interact with much of the rest of the staff so you probably didn't hear about the party."
"I'll make you a deal," I said. "I'll go, but we're going together so I have an out if everyone else sucks. I'll pick you up and be the DD."
She sighed dramatically. "What a gentleman," she laughed. "Alright, I'll text you my address. Pick me up at nine."
"You got it," I said, and she left me to finish my lunch.
I was excited about the party, and spending more time with Marisaa, but also had a weird hesitation in my gut. Was it weird for me to go to a party with her, when I was in a not-relationship with Eden?
It bothered me
