My Little Monster

Chapter Eleven- Date From Hell

"I'll pick you up at seven," Sean said.

"Sounds great. I can't wait," I replied.

"Cool. Bye," Sean said.

"Bye," I said.

I hung up first, the goofy grin stuck on my face.

I was going to have my first date.

Suddenly, my happy thoughts go dim when I think about Hunter. I couldn't get that kiss out of my head.

But I hadn't seen him since. I wasn't sure what I'd do if I saw him.

Hey... that kiss was good but I don't know if I'd want to be more than your friend.

It wasn't like I didn't think about it since last night.

I just had to see how I felt with Sean. You know, just to explore my options.

I walked into my closet and pulled out a white cotton shirt with dark purple sleeves with high waisted shorts and white converse. I put my hair in a ponytail and put on lip gloss along with eyeliner before declaring myself done. I looked out the window. It was 6:45. I thought I saw Hunter's truck outside. But I rationalized it as some other white pickup truck.

I heard my door open and I turned around to see Dad with a huge smile.

"My daughter's first date," Dad said, "I never thought I'd never see it coming."

"Me either," I said jokingly.

"Have a good night and-," Dad began to say.

"And be back before midnight. I know," I said.

Dad nodded before leaving the room.

I sighed before turning off my room light and walking downstairs.

I give my Dad a kiss on the forehead before walking out to the front of the house and sitting on the steps.

About ten minutes later, I saw a black Mercedes Benz pull up and out came Sean with a smile.

"You're here," I said.

"The directions weren't that hard," Sean replied.

"Good. Guess we should get this show on the road?" I asked.

"We shall," Sean agreed with a nod.

I climbed into the passenger seat and Sean climbed in the driver's seat.

"Do you like food?" Sean asked.

I nodded, confused.

"Great. We're going to get some food if you don't mind," Sean said.

"Oh. Ok," I said.

Sean gave me a smile as he started up the car and I smiled back.

I felt my phone buzz in my butt pocket so I took it out and saw it was a text message from Hunter.

Hunter: has Sean tried to kill you yet

Me: No. Leave me alone right now

Hunter: Can't

My heart stopped for a second and I almost couldn't breathe. How just one word could make me lose it.

"You ok?" Sean asked.

"Mmhmm," I answered with a nod, "Just, you know, nervous. I guess."

"Don't be. I don't bite," Sean replied.

I nodded.

About ten minutes later, we arrived at some Chinese buffet and my mouth waters.

"It's my favorite place to go. It might not seem high class but-," Sean began to say.
