Jaydee's POV
"So, I have an idea,
but it involves going into the city. You okay with that?" I asked Frances. I realize if I wanted this olan to succeed I need her to be on board with me.
"Yeah, that's fine. I just have to be back by 10:00 in the morning." She said.
"Oh, my God." I hide my smile when I heard what she said. This is a good mocking opportunity.
"What?" She look at me with annoyance.
"First date and you're already
inviting yourself to stay the night?
I'm just a little scandalized is all." I said still teasing her while I open my car's door for her.
"No, I just meant..." She turned red when she realized what she just said.
" Don't worry. I'll have you back tonight.
If you wanna stay the night, that's...
I mean, it's... If you want...
You wanna just see how it goes? All right." I said changing my mind before I say something I would regret.
"Should we get out?" She ask when we reach our first destination.
"We don't have to." I responded without looking at her.
"Is this the part of the date where I find out you're not actually my husband but some crazy stalker,
and you're gonna strangle me
with my purse?" She said sounding a bit doubtful and paranoid.
"No. This is the exact parking spot
where we first met.
I'm gonna take you on
a little retrospective of us." I said and then laugh. After that I drove to our next destination.
At café Mnemonic
"That is so good." She told me after finishing her food.
"You ready for dessert?" I asked her with thrill.
"Dessert? We just had waffles. " She asked with confusion.
" This is dinner.
These are dessert." As a matter of fact as I bring out our favorite russian Roulette chocolate.
"Well, how do you know
what flavors they all are?" She asked in excitement.
"It's like a chocolate Russian roulette.
It's part of the fun.
We'd be surprised by the ones we liked
and the ones we didn't." I explained to her like how I explained it the first time.
"Okay." Frances said and ate one randomly.
"And..." I ask for her evaluation.
"You don't like it?" I asked when she had a grim expression after eating a chocolate.
"I do not like that one." And I was right.
"Here. Try this one. I think you'd like this one." I recommended.
"Told you." I tease her when she liked it.
"Okay. Your turn." She said handing me a chocolate.
"Are we going shot for shot?" I asked and she just nod waiting for me to eat the chocolate she picked.
"Wait till you try their hot chocolate.
We would come here whenever it snowed." I said reminiscing.
"Are you trying to make me diabetic
or just fat?" She said laughing.
"No, I..." I'm about to answer her when I noticed something messy.
"You got a... It's still in your hair."
After finishing the box of chocolate it is too early to go home so I decided to go to our final destination for today.
At the laek
"So, we come down here at night
and look at the lake?" Frances asked when we reached the lake.
"That's not exactly what we do.
I... I'm not..." I trailed still contemplating whether to tell her what do we really do here.
" I don't..." She said nervously while her eyes grew bigger.
"No, no, it's not that." I said before she even thinks anything worst.
"We said we'd go in once a month every month, and we haven't done April yet.
We started in July." I said telling her what we actually do here.
"Why? Why would we do that?" She ask in disbelief.
"We were at this spaghetti place,
and we had this waiter and he said he did it.
And he was, like, 80.
So we thought we could.
Yeah.
- Now, we said no wetsuits, but..." I said telling her the story behind it.
"You're serious." She said still in disbelief.
"...for you, I guess I'll make an exception." I said to continue.
"All right. Turn around." She said I'm about to protest when she pinched me on my waist.
"Turn around." She repeated.
"Okay." I couldn't do any thing but to agree so I did what she say.
"Wait. No wetsuit?" I asked when I realized she wasn't asking for any.
"We said no wetsuits, right?" She asked me repeating what I said to her earlier.
"Yeah." I said smiling her enthusiasm. We're half naked just wearing our undergarments.
"Oh, no. No,no.No,no! " She protest when I carried her and attempting to throw her to the lake. We both fell to the lake and we raced back to my car.
"Thank you." Frances responded when I handed her a thick blanket.
" Heat, heat. My left eyelid's frozen shut. I can't feel my fingers. I can't feel them. " Frances said while shivering in cold.
After that I drive home first so we can dry our clothes before I drive her back to her parent's house. Currently we're in front of their house I'm dropping her off.
"I don't know what your Frances
did on a first date,
but with me, you're only getting to first base." She said while raising an attitude towards me. I just laughed at her.
"Okay." Trying so hard not to laugh. Everything change but still Frances hates it when I laugh at her.
"I'm sorry. I can do better.
My... My lips are still numb.
It's nice." I said nervously after we kissed.
"Second base, tops." She said.
This is perfect. I said to myself.
"Thank you for coming out with me tonight.
I had a really nice time.
I've missed you.
I miss our life together.
I miss being with you.
I love you." I said to her. She look away. I probably freak her out.
"I should probably get inside.
Good night." She just said and get out of my card. She entered their house without looking back at me. Did I say something wrong?
