something like that. You can even use my computer if you want to so you chat to people. It's your birthday, Elly, so this should be about you."
      "Way to try to get out of getting your ass beat any further." I grinned.
      "Whatever," he frowned as he turned his head to me, "I'm just trying to be nice here!"
      I got up and lay back on his bed, crossing my legs at my ankles, making sure I didn't embarrass myself in my skirt. "Whatever. You're just trying to save face. You can't fool me."
      "Yeah, maybe. Maybe I'm just trying to not be an asshole." He lay back on the bed beside me with his hands on his chest.
      I scooted over closer to the wall so that he had enough room. I didn't want him thinking I was putting the moves on him. I wasn't sure I was up for more birthday rejection. "I'm not sure it's working." I teased him.
      "You like giving me hell, don't you!?" Kent laughed as he turned on his side. "So, more games? Movie? Snacking? What you want to do?"
      "I want you to watch a chick-flick and paint my toenails." I grinned at him, my head turned to the side. "And then you can feed me cheese balls and fan me with a large reed."
      There was a long pause as he lay there beside me, looking over my face, I could only assume he was checking for seriousness. "Alright. Chick flick, and I'll paint your toenails, but you're on your own as far as the fan and cheeseballs go!"
      "Too bad...that would've made it the best birthday ever. Now, it's just average." I sighed dramatically and then slid off the bed, going downstairs to find a chick-flick. His mom loved them too so there were plenty to choose from. I came back upstairs with the classic, Dirty Dancing. I popped it into his cassette player and then took my spot on the bed. I looked down at my fish-netted toes and cursed. It was going to be hard for him to paint my toenails when I was wearing these damn things. I looked at Kent, "Turn around or cover your eyes or something."
      He blinked at me, confused. "Why do I need to cover my--" his eyes shifted down my legs and over the stockings, "oh," he said softly and then turned around.  
      There was some rustling as I lifted my skirt and shimmied out of the fishnets. Once they were off I put them on the back of his desk chair and then grabbed his yellow blanket. I got comfortable on the bed and put the blanket over my lap, covering my now nude legs. My feet were sticking out so he could paint my toenails. "What colors did I leave here?"
      "Uh, I dunno. Let me check." He stood from the bed and moved over to his desk where I'd stashed my nail supplies. "Purple, red, and orange." He said as he picked them up.
      "Purple." I stayed where I was as I stared at his back, his confident posture. It wasn't something that he showed around most people. But I was proud that he felt comfortable enough around me to show it. "I'm going to miss this special treatment."
      He put the other two down and kept the purple in his hand. He grabbed some cotton balls and came back to the bed. He put the cotton balls between my toes. I bit my lower lip to keep from giggling. "Yeah, yeah. Don't think this is our new thing." He put my foot on his leg as the movie started.
      I settled back against his pillows as I turned my attention to the movie. Kent was paying more attention to my toenails than the movie so he didn't screw them up.  
    As Baby's hair was getting blown around in the wind, I was thinking about how I was slightly disappointed that he wasn't disappointed that something intimate like this wasn't going to be our new thing. I was also trying to figure out how to get Kent to be my boyfriend, but I wasn't sure I even knew where to start. I couldn't just outright tell him how I felt, it could ruin our friendship. Once it was out there it couldn't be taken back.  
    I'd tried doing the Baby tactic, just hanging out with Kent a lot but it didn't work out as well for me as it had for her. But I guess she went to Johnny one night and
