Only Her

Part 8

The food was so good.

"That was delicious." I say wiping my mouth with the napkin. 

"Agreed." He says, he sighs and says, "Are you ready to go back to the car?"

"Yes I am, thank you." i say smiling at him, we both stand up and I grab my purse.

He pays for us and I promise to pay next time which he immediately dismisses. We get in his car but he doesn't take the turn to my house, "Ohhhh," I say, "Is this the part where you murder me and sell my body for parts?"

"Yep, you caught me." he laughs, "Nah, I'm just taking you somewhere."

We drive for a while in the woods and I'm seriously starting to think he might be about to murder me, the road clears and he drives onto an empty field. He says, "Wait here a minute."

I wait a bit and he opens my door. He helps me out of the car and I smile when I see he filled the trunk of his car with blankets and pillows. Wait. Why am I crying? 

"I'm sorry," he says, "Do you not like it."

I laugh and say, "No no no, I love it, it's so cute, no one's ever done this for me before."

He laughs and shakes his head, "It's ok, you're worth it, just don't cry, please?"

I nod and struggle to get up into the back so he lifts me up and jumps on himself. I lie down next to him and say, "You know this is a lot of effort just to get laid twice."

"I'm not looking to get laid," He says, "I like you, you make me feel different, I've never felt like this before."

I smile at him and say, "Well neither have I." I gently kiss his lips.

He smiles at me and holds me close to him. I feel like I never want to move. I eventually fall asleep. How embarrassing, jesus, who falls asleep on a date, especially on a first date.

We drove home and I got there right at one o'clock, he kisses me goodbye and I walk up to the front door and unlock it waving goodbye to him. I walk inside and shut the door behind me.

"You really like him huh?" Mum's voice asks.

"I don't know what you're talking about." I say still smiling like an idiot.

She smiles at me and says, "Don't worry, I won't patronise you. Did you ask about next weekend?"

"Yeah, he said he'll come, and he's gonna ask a couple of his friends if they want to come for dinner. Hey how many people are the boys bringing?"

"James and Nate are bringing 3 and Peter has 2 coming." She says, "Will you be ok to feed them all? Your Father and I are going out of town for the night."

"Yeah I'll make something." i say.

I kiss her cheek before walking upstairs and getting into pyjamas, brushing my teeth and heading to bed.
