My week was stressful to say the least but it's Friday which means I get to go out with Taylor. I go to my room and pull out and outfit. A red and white long sleeve top with ripped jeans that's id pair with docs. My makeup was done already so I just hand to figure out what to do with my straight pink hair. I begin to just mess around with styles until I find one I like. I end up just tying it up into a loose bun. I was now ready for the "date" We called it a date but for me at least it didn't really feel like one. I grab my purse and go to leave when a knock hits my door. I swing it open to find a nicely dressed blonde boy. "Are you ready to go?" He asks politely. "Yep" I answer joining him in the hallway and shutting my door.
We use the elevator and head out to his car. Even with his fucked up foot he opens the door for me. He is so sweet. I flash him a thankful smile and slide into the passenger seat. "So glad I broke my left foot and not my right" he says as he starts up the car. "Me too" I giggle looking out the window.
We drive for about 20 minutes before pulling up to an old school diner. "Oh my goodness this place is sick" I say jumping out of the car as soon as we park. "I know, I'm surprised you have never been here considering you have lived in Florida forever" he replies hobbling next to me to the entrance. "Yeah well even after living here my whole life there's is still a lot I haven't seen" I remark.
We enter the diner and are met with a nice waitress who shows us to a booth. We are both handed menus and then asked what we would like to drink. "A coke for me please and a..." he says looking over to me "shirley temple" I finish smiling. She nods and takes towards the kitchen.
We both take this time to look over our menus. I see that they serve breakfast all day so I end up deciding on blueberry pancakes.
"So whatcha having?" I ask closing my menu.
"Well I think I'm going to get steak omelet as that sound delicious" he smiles.
"That's does sound good" I agree nodding my head. Just as I finish my sentence our waitress comes with out drinks. "Here y'all are, now if your ready I'll take your order" she says giving us a look of happiness. "Okay we are ready so, I'm going to have the steak omelet and she is going to have the blueberry pancakes" the nice boy across from me tells her. She nods and scribbles down on her note pad before flashing a smile and walking away.
As I watch her walk away I spot an old jukebox. "Wow that's beautiful I'm going to go pick a song" I say standing up out of booth. "Alright then pick a good one" he states. "Oh I will" I assure him as I bounce over to it. I slide my quarters into the machine and flip through the song selection. There were so many to choose from but I come to a great decision. My face has a grin plastered on it as I go back to my seat. "So whatcha pick?" He questions raising his eyebrows. "You'll find out" I say as I hear the song start.
Loving you isn't the right thing to do
How can I ever change things that I feel?
If I could, baby, I'd give my world
How can I when you won't take it from me?
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way...
He lets out a light giggle and starts humming along to the song. I hum along as well content with what was happening.
About 15 minutes after the song ends we are each served our beautiful plates of food. "Thank you" I say to our waitress as she walks off to another table that was occupied by a family.
I smile at the little girl who was looking at me. She grins and looks over to her father who was cutting up the young girls food. I then look down at my plate and begin to eat my food. "Mmmh this is so good" I say as I swallow my bite.
We eat and talk a little but by the time we are both done with our plates we are stuffed. "I have never been so full in my life" he says laying his hand across his stomach. "Me either" I mumble. I grab my plate stacking it into his as we wait for our bill which is given to us a few minutes later. He sets a twenty dollar bill on the table and staggers up out of the booth and onto his crutches. I do the same thing except for the crutches part because I didn't have a broken foot.
We exit the restaurant and hop in the car. "Thank you so much I had a really good night" I say looking into his hazel eyes. "Me too" he says gently. He then leans over the console of his car and lightly gives me a kiss. It's harmless and innocent like the ones kids shared in elementary school. I blush as he pulls away and sits all the way back into his seat, keying the ignition.
We start heading in the opposite direction of the apartment complex and I'm very confused. "Wait what's going on I thought we were going back" I say. "Not quite yet I have one more thing" he grins.
15 minutes later I'm brought to a movie store. "Huh?" I utter slowly opening my door. "We each are going to pick out a movie and then we will watch each of them when we get back" he explains opening up the shop door for me. "Oh ok cool!" I exclaim as I begin browsing the movie shelf's.
I'm at the nostalgia section when I see Beetlejuice. I pick it up and smile walking to find Taylor. When I do find him he has three movies in his hand. "Decisions, decisions" I say as I shuffle to stand straight in front of him. "Yeah it a hard one but I think I pick... this one" he smiles holding up Top Gun. "Okay well I picked this" I say showing him the case in my hand. "Alright that's perfect, are you ready to check out?" He asks. I nod my head and we walk up to pay for our movies. We pay separately even though he insisted on buying mine for me.
"It's fine it was only 3 bucks plus you paid for dinner" I tell him as we start driving back towards to his place. "I know it's just I was trying to be a gentleman" he explains tapping the steering wheel. "I know and I love that you do that but I promise I do enjoy paying for my own things sometimes" I giggle. He laughs a little too and drops the topic letting us ride back to the apartment in quiet.
We enter his place and go to the kitchen. We grab drinks, popcorn, mini cookies and strawberries. After that we set it on the coffee table and set up our movie. "Ok so which one first?" He asks.
"I don't know, we could flip a coin to decide" I tell him grabbing the blanket from the couch. He reaches into his pants pocket and pulls out a nickel flipping it into the air ; he then proceeds to catch it slapping it onto the back of his hand. "Tails" he whispers to himself.
He puts in the movie he assigned for tails and runs to join me on the couch. He wraps his arm around my shoulder and pulls me close to him as the movie that I now know to be Top Gun starts.
We watch the movie for about 30 minutes before I notice that I keep fighting my eyes open. "It's okay you can go to sleep" he whispers into my ear. "Are you sure, I can just head home" I suggest. "No your fine, if you actually like end up out cold I'll just make you a bed on the couch or bring you to the guest bedroom" he assures as I rest my head on his shoulder. I close my tired eyes and pretty soon I'm dead asleep...
An: so I wrote this chapter while sleepy so if it sucks it things don't make sense I'm so sorry I tired to make sure everything was good and understandable lol :)
