Let the Games Begin // Dodge Mason

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ Chapter Seven ˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

     I sat on the couch in the living room watching Shameless. My mom was at work and my ankle was still a bit sore from the night before, so I missed the Fourth of July parade. I just got to the part in the episode where Lip found out Karen's baby wasn't his when I my phone buzzed.

Dodge

Are you home?

Me

Yeah, ankle's still sore :/

Dodge

I just got off work, I'll be over in a minute. 

     My heart skipped a beat, Dodge and I haven't had a chance to talk about last night and I don't know what to expect from him, does he like me back?

     I paused the TV when I heard a knock on the door, I took a deep breath as I got up and opened the door.

     "Hi," I smiled at him, my cheeks turned pink.

     "Hey there, Cinderella." He said walking in, handing me a bag from Dot's Diner

     "I brought you some food, thought you'd be hungry being cooped up in here all day." 

     "Why thank you, Prince Charming." 

     "Wanna go to my room?" I asked.

     "Yeah, sure." He nodded.

     We both sat down on my bed as I dug into the food he brought me.

     "How was work?" 

     "Same old, same old." He shrugged.

     We sat in silence for a few minutes, I think it was neither of us wanted to bring up last night, but we needed to.

     "So, last night." I started.

    "Yeah?" Dodge asked, resting his chin on his hand as he stared into my eyes.

     "I mean, I don't know? We should talk about it, but I don't know what to say, you know? I mean I like you but I'm just so bad at this," I rambled.

     "Okay," He nodded, stretching out his free hand and laying it in mine.

     "How about, I take you out tonight and we talk about it then?" He offered.

     "Yeah, that sounds good." I smiled at him.

      "What should we do?" I asked.

     "Anything you want," He shook his head.

     "Oh, we could go to Mapleside? It's this farm where you can park and watch the sunset?" I suggested.

     "Yeah, that sounds great. I'll pick you up at 6:30?" 

     "Tonight?" I asked.

     "Yeah, are you not free tonight?"

     "No, I'm free." I quickly responded, causing him to let out a laugh.

     "Okay, I'll see you in..." He dragged it out, looking at his watch.

     "Three hours," He nodded, getting off my bed.

     "You're leaving already?" I pouted.

     "Yeah, I don't know if you heard but I have a date with this amazing girl who I've had a crush on for months tonight."

     "Really? I have a date with this fantastic guy tonight who I've had a crush on since he moved here, what a coincidence!" 

     "We better start getting ready as soon as possible! I wanna make sure this is the perfect date for her," He said, slipping his shoes back on.

     "Then you better get going, cowboy." 

     "I thought I was Prince Charming?" He questioned.

     "You can be both," I shrugged.

     "I'll see you at 6:30, okay?" 

     "Okay," I nodded.

     He quickly kissed my forehead and said goodbye before leaving- I heard his car start and him drive off. 

A/N: Hii! I'm posting a bit later today because I forced my friend to watch Dear Evan Hansen today so she can understand my love for Mike (and that whole musical oml), so I decided to post two chapters today! I hope you guys are loving the story so far <3
