Chapter 12.

We had finally pulled up outside of a restaurant I’ve never even seen before.  It looked really nice from the outside but I wonder if it’s nice in the inside.  Wait, why am I expecting so much for a first date?  Erick got out of the car and ran over to the side I was on to open the door for me.  I’m sure I’ve said this to myself before but he really is a real gentleman.  He took my hand and led me into the restaurant.

‘’Hello, I called in earlier.  My names Erick Greene, table for two’’

‘’Oh yes, over here sir’’.  The waitress led us to our table and Erick pulled my chair out so I could sit in it and pushed me back in then walked to his chair.  I picked the menu up to see what I could eat and Erick done the same.  The things on this menu are things I don’t usually eat with prices higher than the things I usually eat.  I didn’t fancy eating anything I’ve never heard of before so I decided to order a well-cooked steak, potatoes, salad in a separate bowl and a glass of ice cold water.  Erick ordered the same as me but had a sprite instead.

We had now finished our food and we were getting ready to leave.  I actually liked this date, I thought it was going to be really awkward but it wasn’t.  Every silent moment was filled with something random, I actually loved it.

‘’Thank you so much for today, I loved it’’ I smiled.

‘’You are very welcome Lucy’’ He was now staring deep into my eyes and I felt uncomfortable.  I tried to find somewhere to look other than his eyes but out of the corner of my eye, I could see him leaning in to kiss me.  I couldn’t kiss Erick; I don’t like him like that.  Just friends but he obviously likes me more than a friend since he’s about to kiss me.  My thoughts were cut off by the tickling feeling of his breath near my face, he was now inches away.  I could smell the mint in his breath since he had a mint after he ate.  I leaned back so I was further away from his face.

‘’Erick, I can’t kiss you.  Please don’t take it the wrong way but I would just rather be close friends if that’s alright with you?’’ I asked.  Erick leaned back into his chair looking a little hurt that I didn’t kiss him back.

‘’It’s alright.  Um, I think we should leave now’’ He sighed.  I felt a little bit bad.  He got up from his chair and waited for me to stand up.  I started to walk and he wasn’t far behind me.  We both thanked the waitress and left the restaurant to get into the car.

Although I didn’t kiss Erick and told him we should just be friends he still opened the car door for me.

He drove me home, we still had some random conversations but some silent moments weren’t filled.  I got out of his car and walked to my front door.  I turned around, smiled and tried to find my key in my bag.  Erick was now gone and I still couldn’t find me keys.  Oh no.  I left them in my house and my mum won’t be getting back till midnight since she’s going to a work party or something with my dad and Josh is at his friend’s house again.   Although my mum was ill, she didn’t want to upset her boss since she begged her to go and she promised.  What am I going to do now?  Stand outside my house for 4 hours.  Why didn’t I pick up my keys?  I sat down on my front door mat and heard a small jingle in my bag.  Oh yeah, I forgot to check the pocket in my bag.  I excitedly grabbed the keys out pocket in my bag to notice that they weren’t my front door keys; they were the keys for my bike since it was locked up in the garage.  Why does this have to happen to me?  I didn’t even bring a jacket and it wasn’t as warm as it was earlier on.  It wasn’t that dark yet but luckily there were lights on the street where my house was.  I put my keys back in my bag and started to think.  The only reason why I stopped that kiss with Erick is because I didn’t want Erick thinking I like him more than a friend when I really don’t.  And I like Tyler a lot, this is so hard to admit to myself and the time but I practically love him.  Every time I saw him in the corridors or in class I would get butterflies although most the time he didn’t even acknowledge me.  Not even Charlotte or Louise know my feelings for this boy, only I do and for now it’s going to stay that way.  I wonder if Drake and Tyler were joking about Tyler liking me.  He doesn’t really act like it, he may flirt a bit but he doesn’t show to me that he has strong feelings for me unfortunately.  Tyler doesn’t even know that I like him; maybe I should text him telling him how I feel.  I’m nervous if he just tells me he doesn’t like me and he was only joking.  That would be so embarrassing and I’d just be sp hurt.

‘’Can I call you?’’ Just when I was about to press send I remembered he was having a party so he most probably won’t reply.  I wonder if he’s mad about me not going to his party.  Surely he’s not.  But again, he didn’t reply to me and normally he’s the last to say something when we text each other.  

Wait.  I know what to do, I can go to his party, take him somewhere private and tell him how I feel and hopefully he isn’t drunk so he can actually take it in and not laugh about it in my face.  I got up from where I was sitting and started to head to Tyler’s.  He lived about 20 minutes away when I walk so I decided to walk quicker since I just wanted to get it out of the way and have this whole lot of weight be lifted off of my shoulders.

I was now getting closer to Tyler’s house, a few minutes away.  My heart accelerated and thousands of butterflies had rushed into my belly.  Why am I so scared to do this?  Oh yeah, maybe because I’ve never done it before.  I stopped in my tracks when I started to hear the music coming from his house.  I really wanted to turn back; I didn’t want to do it anymore.  Come on Lucy, you can do it.  My brain spoke to me so I carried on walking to his house.  I was now a few steps away from his gate so I took a deep breath in and blew out of my nose.  I opened the gate and was lucky enough to find Tyler standing outside on the lawn talking to a few jocks.  He looked so hot.  I walked over to the group he was with and they all started to look me up and down.  When Tyler noticed their stares he turned around to see me standing behind him.

‘’What are you doing here?  Aren’t you meant to be on that date with him?’’ He sighed.

‘’Can I talk to you please, in private’’ he was way ahead of me and started to walk to somewhere in the garden where no-one else really was.  My palms became sweaty and I decided to speak first.

‘’Well I’m here to explain to you how I-‘’ He cut me off before I could speak again.

‘’Stop Lucy’’ He leaned down and kissed me.  His lips were so soft and tasted sweet.  He slipped his tongue into my mouth and I tiptoed so I could wrap my arms around his shoulders.  A tingle sensation filled my belly and shot everywhere, this was seriously the best moment of my life until someone with a deep voice interrupted.

‘’What the hell are you doing dude?  Not long ago, she had her lips on Erick’s’’ I turned around to see Drake looking pretty angry.  I never kissed Erick.  Tyler stepped a few steps away from me and gave me this deadly stare.  Oh no, Drake saw Erick leaning in to kiss me but obviously walked away before I stopped it.

‘’Are you seriously kidding me?  Lucy, why wouldn’t you have stopped me if you didn’t like me, I can’t believe you’’ He looked really mad now.

‘’I swear I didn’t kiss Erick’’ I noticed Summer walking out of the door over to us.  She looked so trashy; she was wearing a pink tight dress nearly revealing her ass.  Her boobs were practically spilling out of her dress and to top it off she was wearing too much makeup.

‘’Tyler, leave that slut alone.  Let’s just go inside’’ She walked next to Tyler, grabbed his hand and kissed his cheek.   She pulled him towards the door and Drake followed not far behind.  He turned around and gave me a deadly stare.  I could fill me eyes filling up with tears so that was my time to start running out of his garden to get out of sight.  I decided to run home so no-one would see me crying since I knew my mascara and eyeliner would be running down my cheeks and since it wasn’t fully dark, people could still see my face.

I was now a few steps away from my front door until I remembered no-one was in, I had to try just in case they were home.  Surprisingly they were home, it was only 9pm and they said they would be back at 12.  I didn’t bother greeting my parents, I just ran to my room making sure no-one saw my face.  I got into my room, slammed the door shut and fell onto my bed.  My cheeks were all pink from my tears.  Tyler most probably hates me now after what Drake said.  He didn’t even see us kiss yet although we didn’t and he still felt like ruining everything.  Why me?  That moment was perfect but his best friend just had to ruin it.  I guess I no longer have a chance with Tyler.

I turned my TV on whilst cuddling myself into my covers and looked through the films.  I saw ‘Honey’, I loved that film but to be honest I’m not watching it because I love it, only because I’m trying to take my mind off Tyler.  He’s at his party most probably getting wasted whilst kissing various girls whilst I’m at home crying my eyes out.  

I seriously need to get a hold of myself, it’s not like we were together.  It’s just I’m in love with him and the person you love getting really mad at you, it’s a downer.
