Friday
Jennavieve
Football Game

Today is Friday, meaning our football game is today! I'm so excited but very nervous knowing Mari would see me cheer. I'm just ready to get this over with and come home to watch some movies. I put on some non-scented lotion to keep me smelling fresh because non/scented products are great if you dance especially in  the south and around bugs. It keeps me from the daily attacks of the viscous mosquitoes. It's tiring.

"Go Mari!" I watch as he makes a touchdown. I clap in excitement while took the time to wave at me. Feeling eyes on me, I stop immediately seeing Cassidy squint with a warning at me. I sit back while we rests. I'm tired! I wanna go home!

"So? How uhh are you?" I giggle seeing him blush like a little schoolboy. It's cute. I blush seeing him blush. He walks away with an eye roll making me laugh. I just realized he is bowlegged a little. Just a little. He walks back with a straight face while I laugh at him being silly.

"I'm good. Wanna go out to eat tonight?" His eyes widen in shock as she looks up at him. A girl never asked him to go out before. Hell, he never asked a girl to go out before. He didn't think he was good for relationships, especially with his disorder. He smiles with a nod of approval. She smiles softly while gently wiping his sweaty cheek. He looks in confusion before she sends a peck to his cheek. Looking wide eyed and a red nose, she smiles as she walks off swaying her hips while he touches his burning hot cheek. He blushes seeing as she gets in the car safely. Was it too early to say he liked her?

"How many this evening?" The hostess bats her eyelashes while looking up at him. Jennavieve scrunches her face up as the girl flirtatiously smiles at him. He puts his phone in his pocket before casually holding Jenna's hand. He wanted to have his undivided attention just on her. Tonight was about them and he wanted to savor the moment. The hostess rolls her eyes before grabbing two menus.

"Just two. Thank you." She huffs leading them to a booth. Jenna walks in front of him while the way her backside moved had him instantly bite his lips. She looks back catching him in the act making him blush and look away. She giggles pulling him to the booth. He shakes his head before pulling her back gently by her waist. She looks in confusion while he gently sat her down. As a man, he felt a man should sit outside so he can keep watch or anything happens. Just like on the sidewalks. Seeing her slide in, he slides besides her before grabbing her smaller hand.

"Yo' waiter will be right with you. You single boo?" He takes his eyes off a shy smile before looking at the hostess. He looks at her through his glasses with a straight face allowing a lump to form in her throat from his uneasy stare. He was tired of her already.

"You don't see me here with someone. My girl?" She blushes covering her face at his remark. She knew they weren't dating or anything. Yet. But she didn't mind a little title then and there. The girl huffs walking off with an attitude. He turns head her seeing her act like a blushing fool. He chuckles seeing her smile so wide while looking at him.

"So Miss. Jennavieve? Tell me about yourself. I mean you must think I'm a cute boy for you to ask me out?" I loved the way my name rolled off his tongue. She giggles as he looks at her and shakes his hair like a girl on a windy beach. He laughs before putting up his hair in a bun making her smile. She wanted to see his face. He was so cute. He honestly never thought anyone liked him like that. That was a lie. He just looked like he didn't want to be bothered, so they didn't ask. He just needed a slight push and Jennavieve gave him that.

"Well as you know I'm 17 years old. I like to dance. I'm a slight nerd. And I'm learning to find me, you know? Find who I am. Sometimes you just gotta ask yourself that. Who am I? I'm still learning and I hope it gets better for me soon." He nods listening to every word that falls out of her lips. He stares at her full big lips while a smile graced her face. She takes her pointer finger and raises his head to her eyes. They make eye contact while his tongue slowly glides across his plump lips. She blushes as shakes her head while he shyly pulls away from her hold. She didn't know what she was doing to him.
