The Perfect Imperfections

Chapter 11

Today is the day Jacob Gibson is taking me out on a date. It actually slipped my mind when he called me this morning reminding me about it. And honestly so far I wasn't looking forward to it, but I couldn't tell him that, he sounded so excited on the phone, I asked what specifically we're doing on the date he went on to say it was a surprise.

He informed about picking me up at 1 o'clock which gave me hours to get ready. Me being me slept back and set an alarm for an hour before the time. Lizzy did the honours of selecting my outfit ignoring the fact that I'm perfectly capable of choosing a great outfit for myself.

"And he didn't mention exactly what activities you're going to indulge in?" She wiggled her bows teasingly and twirled around the clothes.

"No. He said it's a surprise." My eyes rolled back in annoyance. It's not like I don't like surprises, they're nice until someone tries too hard and does the exact opposite of what you expected. It shocked me that a guy like Jacob would organise a surprise rendezvous just to impress his date, by all means I wasn't a snotty snob who has high expectations In a man or judge people by stupid rumors. I did not think he'd think this date through and just randomly take me to a place he heard of from a friend.

"Well I think I have something that could go for all occasions." Laid out on the queen sized bed is a black long sleeve turtleneck with a cream V neck cardigan and black cargo pants. "Well except for elegance."

With a chortle I put the outfit on and packed the purse I was going to take. A white and black patterned bag I purchased online.

Around quarter past one Jacob sent me a text telling that he was already here. With deliberate sluggish movement it took me a while to reach downstairs.

My date had a sky blue T-shirt on with a brown bumper jacket on top and dark blue jeans. His gold wristwatch can easily be seen with the sunlight reflecting on it.

The mood to go on this date as little to non existence it was immediately diminished. You know that feeling when you and your friends spent a lot of time planning an outing and then suddenly maybe a day or a few hours to it you start getting cold feet?. Well that was what I was experiencing right now standing in front of him.

"Your chariot awaits my lady" he spoke in a horribly fake British accent bowing and opening the door to his white Mercedes.

"Thank you." playing along my legs bent down to a small curtsy and got in the vehicle. "Nice car by the way." The car true to my words was nice no scratch on the outside and the interior had a new car smell doing a great job in hiding what I assume was he's Cologne. The car seats are made of black and read material red being the main color and had the Benz insignia on its head.

"Thanks and can I say you look very beautiful" heat crept up my neck to my cheeks from the compliment, I avoided his eyes and turned to the window in embarrassment and thanked him. What don't blame, I don't take compliments in the normalest of ways.

A brief awkward silence passed.

"Where are we going?"

"Oh, well I guess I can tell you." He spared me a quick glance "We're headed to the movies."

My mouth fell open in flabbergastment.

"Not to sound like bitch or anything but was the whole big surprise that you hyped about a trip to the movies?" I sassed.

But Jacob didn't even flinch. He just let out a side smile almost like a smirk as If already expecting this reaction from me.
