Bluebonnet Love

Chapter 14

Bryn
My nerves are shot, my face feels like its on fire and I haven't even showered yet and it's almost 3pm. I've never been so nervous in all my 17 almost 18 years of life, not even with my last boyfriend he rarely took me out. Just driving though to get a burger and milkshake was his idea of a date then he would drop me home after about an hour together. I'm really starting to wonder what I ever saw in him and why I felt so broken after he cheated. With Gavin I feel safe with him but also like I don't know him at all and I cant wait to find out everything about him. All kind of different emotions are taking over me as i hop in the shower to start getting ready, seeing how I'm already behind I'm so glad I shaved last night during my bath. Using my coconut vanilla body wash I lather up my loofah and wash every crevice of my body afterwards I use my coconut scented shampoo and conditioner combo to wash my hair clean. Reaching for my large bath towel I get out of the shower and wrap it around my body and my phone dings with a notification. After replying to Gavin I brush my teeth and get started on my long hair. Putting mouse and curling gel in it I blow dry it before curling it in big curls letting it fall down my back. Ive decided I'm sticking to the neutral colors for makeup I really don't like wearing it so I'm keeping it light with light brown eyeshadow, a swipe of mascara and nude lipstick I'm ready to get dressed.
Walking into my room I drop my towel and put on the pink lace underwear I bought yesterday. As I slide my red dress on I hear a knock at my door. My dad slowly opens the door with eyes closed "You decent?"he asks as he walks in. Shaking my head at him "Too late to ask dad if you've already opened the door and came in. But yes I'm dressed" I say with a small laugh at his craziness. He opens his eyes and they widen so wide I believe they might pop out at me, most likely because I don't wear dresses very much. I'm more into blue jeans/ shorts and t-shirts. "Wow, baby girl you look great. You look just like your mother did when I met her" he says. I look up to ceiling trying not to cry and ruin my makeup i gave him a small smile"Really?" He slowly nods his head and walks to me to wrap me into a hug.

I head down the hall towards the living room when there's a knock at the door. Opening it I see Gavin standing there looking as handsome as ever in his dark blue jeans and white button up shirt with his hair gelled back. His hazel eyes scanning my body with a look of lust in them. I blush under his gaze as I clear my throat a couple times to get his attention. He seemed to be stuck in a trance as he stared into my eyes. "Shit angel are you trying to kill me tonight?" He breathes out as he out stretches his hand that was behind his back he brings forth a bouquet of white carnations. As I grab them he pulls me flush against his chest for a passionate kiss that took my breath away. A throat cleared behind us and we jumped out of each other's arms as my dad had a raised eyebrow taking in the scene on the front porch. My face was warming up as I look at my dad,"You must be Gavin?" He asked as he had his hand out for Gavin to shake. "Yes sir, pleasure to meet you Mr. Davis" he said as he shook my dads hand. I could tell he was nervous by the shakiness of his voice as he spoke to him. My father was a tall man standing at 6'2 and enough muscle to show he went to the gym weekly. " Umm.. so Bryn tells me your a racer, I race every now and then too mostly on the dirt track back home" What?! I didn't know that, see learning new things as we go already. "Yes I do mostly stock car on occasion I race around the dirt track with Bryn" Oh shit, I didn't plan on telling him that right now, he must think I'm a virginal tomboy. He snaps his head at me " What, I didn't know you race too!" I just shyly nod my head " yeah just mostly on the track with dad every once in awhile. He sends me sly smirk "seems like we got a little more in common now huh, angel?"

As my dad gives him the run down I start to drag him off the porch telling him we have reservations even though I have no idea what he actually has planned. As my father reluctantly shuts the front door Gavin walks me to the passenger side and opens the door for me. When the side step automatically comes out as the door opens I giggle a little as I grab unto his outstretched hand as he helps me into the truck. Lingering there a bit longer than necessary I believe he was checking out my ass as I slide into the seat, as he shut the door I cant seem to keep the smile off my face. We ride in a comfortable silence about 15 minutes before he says "we're here". I look around and see we're at the park. I give him a side glance as he smiles before hopping out of the truck. Opening my door I grab his hand and jump down thanking my stars I wore wedges and not heels tonight. He pulls something from his back pocket and instantly I recognize it as a blindfold. "Seriously Gavin, its getting dark I cant really see anything right now anyways" "aww, come on angel just indulge me this once" slowly turning around I let him tie it around my eyes. Grabbing my hand he starts to lead me into the dark park. I might have been a little scared as we walked what felt like forever when actuality it was maybe 5 minutes. "Gavin!" I scream as he lets go of my hand, "It's ok angel, I'm just gonna take off the blindfold." Taking a deep breath he releases the blindfold off me. My eyes drop to the walkway that is scattered with flower petals. Oh my god this is so romantic, no one has ever done anything like this before for me. I look to Gavin who has a smile on his face as he retakes my hand and leads me down the pathway towards a gazebo. I see little lights all over the gazebo, lining the poles and rails  and hanging from the ceiling giving off a magical feel, like I'm a princess. Coming under it there's a small table with what looks like pasta bowls waiting on the table and a bucket of ice with a chilled bottle of white wine.

We take our seats and Gavin sets the mood my hooking up his phone to a hidden speaker and playing jazz music as background noise. I'm feeling so overwhelmed a single tear slides down my cheek. I look to Gavin and his once happy face as turned into a look of concern as he kneels in front of me. "What's wrong angel? Do you not like Italian? I can get something else." I silence him with my lips to his in a slow kiss. "It's absolutely magical Gavin. I love it!" A smile slowly spreads across his face as he stands and makes his way towards his seat across from me. We spend the next hour sitting and talking getting to know one another on a more intimate level with a little bit deeper questions. After we've eaten the pasta and drank half the bottle of wine he stands and outstretches his hand "May I have this dance?" I smile at him as I slide my hand into his and he pulls me to his chest, while his hands rest on my hips my arms stretch and wrap around his neck. As we sway to the music I lay my head on his shoulder and imagine us dancing like this on our wedding day. As the song ends he pulls out a small box from he front pocket and puts it into my hand. "Open it" he whispers in my ear. I slowly open in to see a diamond encrusted heart shape necklace, on the back he had G&B engraved on the back. "I know this is only our second date and we are still getting to know each other, but I can picture you in my future. You already have my heart and one day I hope to give you my last name as well" he tells me as his eyes stare into mine never wavering. More tears start flowing as I press my lips to his "I love it Gavin. Help me put it on?" I turn and raise my hair above my neck as he clasps it around my neck. "I wish this night didn't have to end" I tell him as I admire my necklace. "It isn't over yet angel", he grabs my hand and leads me on a different path through the park.
