The Teacher

Chapter 10: The Date

I texted Jake waiting for a reply as I do my make up, I go with a more natural tone with a bit of lip gloss for a splash of color.

Right as I stand up my phone beeped with a text

Jake: Casual formal.

What the hell does that mean? I go with my judgement and pick out a white skirt, and a pink blouse, and white strappy heels.

I walk to the bathroom and run my brush through my long hair, I keep it straight, and down. I walk back into my room and check the clock. 5:30, I should probably get ready to go to my school. I grab my keys and my purse and a jacket as I walk out the door. I get into my car and start driving to my school. I park in the lot and wait for Jake.

He pulls up and waits for me. I get out and walk to his car and get in. I look at him and smile

"Hey Jake."

"Hello, Mel."

"So where are we going?"

He looks at me with a sparkle in his eye "It's a surprise."

We sit in silence for a few minutes as he drives then a question that keeps me wondering pops into mind. And I can't help but ask.

"Are you planning on ending things with me?"

He seems stunned "Why do you ask that?"

"Well given how we met and other things."

"Mel I will admit I did think about it, and kept coming back to it, but I can't seem to get you out of my mind. So I'm going to see how this goes and go from there."

"So this isn't just sex to you?"

He looks over at me with a look I can't describe and the looks back at the road

"No, Melinda, far from it."

Butterflies form in my belly as he says my name. "Okay." Is all I manage to say as he continues winding through the dark road. We ride in a comfortable silence as I feel his right hand entangle in mine.

We pull into the lot of a restaurant an average one, called "The Spot."

I look at him "I've never been here."

He smiles, "You're going to love it."

He gets out and walks to my side and opens my door, he takes my hand and we walk hand in hand into the restaurant.

We walk up to the waiter and he says "Do you have a reservation?"

Jake looks at him "Yes, I do. Under Hilton."

He looks down at his book and back at us "Yes sir, right this way Mr. And Mrs. Hilton."

I giggle at him calling me "Mrs." Because I'm far from it. He takes us to a table and we sit down.

"Someone will be by for your order shortly, can I start you off with a drink?"

Jake speaks first "Yes, can I get a coke?"

"Of course sir, and you miss?"

He looks to me "The same is fine."

He nods and walks off.

I look at Jake who is staring at me with a big smile on his face. "What?"

"Nothing."

I smile, "Doesn't seem like nothing."

"Just.." He starts "Thinking of the night we met."

I chuckle at the thought "Yeah. That was an interesting night."

"Made for a more interesting Monday morning." He chuckles.

"Yeah, I'm really sorry."

He waves off my apology "Don't apologize. It lead me to you."

I get more butterflies.

A waitress brings us our menus and drinks and says she'll be back. As we look at the menu Jake speaks.

"May I make a suggestion?"

"Sure."

"The chicken parm is to die for."

I laugh "It definitely sounds good."

He smiles "You have no idea."

The waitress comes back and takes our order. We both get chicken parm. He then tries to make more conversation.

"Tell me about yourself? You haven't really done that."

I smile, "Well, I'm 18, love English class even before you became my teacher, my favorite color is yellow because it's a happy color, my best friend is Lizzie, and I'm looking forward to college and study English.

He looks at me and smiles, "Well that gives me a small look into who you are."

I blush, "Well I'm glad that gives you something. Tell me about you."

  "Well.." He starts "I've studied English, I have 2 brothers, my favorite color is green because I love dinosaurs, and I'm 25."

I smile, "At least you're not too much older than me."

Our server comes over and brings our food, and it is amazing. We make more small talk as we eat, then when we are done he pays the bill and we leave.

We leave the restaurant and went to his car he opens the door for me and I sit down he brings me back to the school, and follows me to my car.

He looks at me and says "I had a very nice time tonight, we definitely need to do this again."

I smile "Yes, definitely."

He leans in and kisses me, a sweet and lingering kiss. One that I will certainly not be able to get out of my head. He looks at me and says "Goodnight beautiful." And waits for me to leave as I get in my car to head home.

I get home and go to my room clean up and change to go to bed. I fell asleep all the while thinking of Jake.

Life seems just about perfect.
