First "Date"

Excited and confused Izzy walks out of the office. Walking down the hall Jason walks past and whispers, " Congratulations." Izzy quickly looks up at him.

"On what?" Izzy questions.

 "Getting a pay raise. " He replies quickly. 

"How did you find out? The boss just told me." Izzy says with a puzzled look. 

"I know cause I'm the one who told him you should either get promoted or a pay raise." 

" Why would you do that for me?" she questions. 

"First of all, why wouldn't I? And secondly, you invest in people whose own family has abandoned them and give them some sort of hope for a possible better future." Jason says to her smiling. 

"Thank you so much. How can I repay you?" Izzy says, looking up at the ocean blue-eyed officer, in question.

"How about you go have drinks with me after school tonight? he asks as he's looking at her lips. What delicious plump lips he thinks. 

She wants to say yes eagerly but doesn't want to sound desperate. So, she looks around the hall and pretends to think about it. Then she brings her attention back to his beautiful eyes. " Yes, I would love to. What time? And where would you like to meet?"

"How about I pick you up at your house at 9:30?" He asks, smiling.

"Yeah, sounds like a plan." Izzy replies, smiling back at him.

They stand there for a few minutes just awkwardly smiling at each other. 

Jason taps his side gently, still waiting for her to give her information.

"So, I'll need your information to pick you up." Jason chuckles gently.

"Oh. Oh! You're right." Izzy laughs, mentally facepalming. " I'm sorry, here is my address and phone number," she said as she wrote it down on a piece of paper, trying to avoid eye contact.

" Thank you, see you tonight." Jason smiles. With a big smile, he turns away from Izzy and walks away. 

After Jason walks away Izzy lets out a huge sigh and smiles. Through the rest of her shift, she couldn't stop thinking about Jason's blue eyes and how she was going to have drinks with him that night. As soon as her shift was over, she drove as fast as she could to school. When she got into class she sat next to her friend, Angel.

" What has you in such an upbeat mood?" Angel asked.

" You know Officer Jason that I talk about all the time? Well, he told our boss what I've been doing with some of the inmates during my lunch break and told the boss I should either get a promotion or a pay raise. Well, the boss gave me a pay raise. I asked Officer Jason how I could repay him, and he said he wants me to go have drinks with him tonight at 9:30." Izzy explained to Angel.

" Oh my God! Really!? I'm so happy for you, bestie. You deserve this. I hope your night goes great. You are going to have to tell me everything when you get back to your apartment. I'm going to need all the tea." Angel said as she was shaking Izzy by the shoulders.

" Yes of course I'll tell you everything I mean after all you are my best friend." Izzy replied. Ring, ring, ring goes the last bell of Izzy's last class for the day. " Finally, the day is over!" she skips over to her locker and quickly puts away the books she doesn't need. As she walks down the hall through the maze of people leaving and accidentally bumps into Lucas. "Out of all people to bump into it had to be him, fuck!" she said to herself. 

"Hey beautiful, what do you have planned right now, or can I sweep you off your feet and take you to my house?" Lucas asks Izzy while touching her arm. 

"Lucas the next time you say or do your stupid high schooler shit I'm going to make you regret it. Do you understand me?" she asks as she fixes her bookbag on her shoulder.

"Yes Izzy, I understand. I promise I won't do it again. Will you please forgive me, Izzy?" Lucas asks her, trying to look sincere. 

"Okay Lucas, I forgive you. But I'm serious about making you regret it if you do it again." she tells him as her phones goes off in her jean pocket. She pulls it out and looks at Angel with a surprised look. "It's Jason texting me telling me he's outside right now ready to pick me up. What should I do? I'm not even dressed to go out with him." she asks with a puzzled look.

"Wait! He is outside right now waiting to pick you up. Oh my god, you have to go now. And girl you look great he isn't going to care what you look like. He is picking you up at school what do you think he expects you to where at school that you would wear at a bar? You need to get your ass out of this building right now. Now Go!" Angel exclaims.

"Ok, Ok I'm going, I'm going. Just putting my business out there, bestie not everyone needs to know." she whispers to Angel as she gives her a hug. She gets to the door and sees Jason's matte black Chevrolet Silverado parked outside with him standing by the passenger door open.

" Good afternoon, Lizzy. How was your day? Jason asks as he gestures her toward the open truck door with a smile on his face. 

" Good afternoon, Jason. My day was decent, thank you for asking." she replies while turning toward the truck to get in.
