The summer that changed me

Chapter 9

The past few days have been good. School was great, friends and Samuel were too, my family as well. Nothing too eventful happened. Although I was asked on a date this Saturday with Samuel and I am nervous yet excited. Told my friends today and they wanted to go and help me get ready but I said that I will manage or at least ask my aunt for help or even do a video call with both of them. The date is in two days, so I have quite sometime till then.

I had a few tests today which I think I did kind of well on them. Samuel and I haven't really had much of a public appearance together in school yet, maybe after the date and might label ourselves to something. School had occupied me for the most part and I almost had forgotten the date. Those two days went by quickly. Saturday morning I was just busy with shower things and doing the first get ready steps, only later in the day I will do with the makeup, hair and outfit as our date is in the evening. No clue where we were going but I was told to dress comfy yet cute, I think. I don't remember now. Both my aunt and uncle were away for a few days for a business trip, so the weekend I am all alone. I actually might invite my friends over.

Had done the basic things and now I am enjoying lunch and its been a long time since I have started to prepare since morning, the girls should come any time now. I finished my food and the door bell rang, they were here. I welcomed them in and we walked to my room. I realized it was the first time for them at my house, a pretty expensive house I would say, not only the neighborhood. We went through my closet, still haven't picked the one but got to start the makeup and the hair too. My hair was lose but curled, simple makeup. We were thinking of a dress as an outfit. Went though my small collection, found a few options.

Finally my outfit was complete. I wore a dress, a jacket in case it gets cold, sneakers and a necklace. Soon he should pick me up. I said goodbye to the girls and waited for him to arrive. Some time had passed, not long and my phone dinged, signalling I got a message. He was waiting outside my house. I rushed out of the home and walked to his car.

"Hi."

"Hey." He opened the car's door for me to enter and closed it as I sat down, he walked around to get to the driver's seat. We drove for a bit, he parked the car near the beach. So I guess we are taking a walk alongside the sea. We talked. My first date and I love this. The jacket was a good choice as in the evening it will get chilly.

"Its very beautiful here."

"It is in deed. My family sometimes come here, well we did more often when I was little." He muttered.

"What are you thinking of doing with your life after school?" I asked.

"I think I want to go to university, study business and I guess later take the role from my father as a CEO."

"That sounds really amazing and I think you will do very well. But no football?"

"Nah. Just to keep me moving really and I like it. What about you?"

"No idea. I didn't really thought about it much. I wanted to be a lot of different people when I was younger but right now, I just not sure of anything."

"I am positive you will figure it out. There is plenty of time."

"Not really."

"There is. Just not stress about it, ok?"

"Ok."

"So, how has life been?"

"Good I'd say."

"Same here."

Again I had the urge to tell him how I got here. I have told my friends, so I might as well can tell him too, right? Here goes nothing. I told him. He hugged me and kissed me afterwards. We sat down on a big tree branch that was laying on the sand. We looked at the sea. It was for sure very beautiful. I rested my had on his shoulder, his arm draped loosely on my arm. Eventually we decided to walk back. The weather got more chill as the evening went on and the sun slowly going down. We got to his car and drove to a fast food restaurant because why not. Both weren't feeling like going somewhere more fancier in a way, both wanted some unhealthy food. He wanted to pay for my food but I insisted to pay my own, he eventually agreed.
