Chapter 8 - Wether It's Eventually or Right Now

I take an Uber from the museum to the mall to buy something nice for the date. Pezzy mentioned something casual that I could move around in. Whatever that is supposed to mean. I pop into the first clothing store I see, grabbing some black jeans and a red crop top. I mindlessly walk for a bit before heading back to the hotel. I had two hours to get ready. I take an everything shower and put on some light makeup, leaving my hair down. I get dressed and sit on the balcony, opening up the group chat with my friends back home.

Annalise: Hello strangers. T-2 days till I fly home. But. T-30 minutes till my date with a certain streamer 🤭

Katelyn: You're fucking joking right now

Jasmine: Picture proof or you're getting a right hook as soon as you land.

Annalise: Wow miss me much...

Skyler: After seeing the stream the other day, I can see it happening. What are they like in real life?

Annalise: Like normal people? Also Sly tolerates me.

Nevaeh: YOU MET SLY?! HOW SOFT IS SHE?!

Annalise: Very soft. And she is very shy to begin with. But I've been around her a couple times now and she doesn't hide from me anymore.

I get a message from Pezzy on discord. I open it up, and see it's a bouquet of flowers in front of my hotel room door. I screenshot it, replying that I'd be right there. I send the photo to the group chat with the caption "Gotta blast😍" I grab my purse and open the door, Pezzy is in black jeans and black sweatshirt. "Wow colour coated much?" I say laughing at our outfits. "You look amazing. These are for you." He hands me the flowers in a vase. I probably look like a deranged animal with how big my smile is. I set them on the side table and we head out, getting into his car. We drive for twenty minutes, talking about the museum. We pulled into a parking lot for a bowling alley. "Are we bowling for our first date?" I laugh. "I just wanted to see how good you are. I mean, unless you're scared that I'll beat you terribly." "Oh I doubt it" we both laugh and head in. We both couldn't stop the banter, in the end Pezzy winning after getting four strikes in a row. We headed back to the car and headed to a local diner for dinner.

I ordered a chicken ceaser wrap, and he ordered a bacon burger. "So. Two days left here. What's your plans for those days?" He says sipping his soda. "Oh I don't know. I feel like this weeks gone by so fast. Maybe just have a rest day in bed tomorrow. Watch some movies or something. Last day, I don't know. Maybe we could see what the guys are doing?" I say hopeful. "They'll definitely be down to hangout. So are you ever gonna come back to Texas? Or do you have plans in Canada?" "I definitely want to come back. My whole point of coming here was seeing if I actually wanted to move here permanently or if I whist wanted to follow mainstream media, you know? But thanks to some friends, I'd say i definitely see myself moving to Texas in the near future. It's a bonus that the university course is fully online, so I could do it anywhere." "Well these friends must've made a good impression." He says smiling at me. "They did. And one made an even better impression than the rest."

We ate and headed back to his house. Sitting on the couch watching tv. By the time we finished watching a couple shows it was already midnight. "Uh I should probably get back to the hotel." I say yawning. The excitement really hitting me hard today. "Stay the night. You don't have to leave." His arm around me while I'm snuggled into his chest. "Are you sure? Am I overbearing? I  understand you need your space." "You only have two days left, I'd like to spend them with you. I mean, if you want to spend them with me." I smile turning to the tv and back. "Of course I'd spend them with you." We both get ready for bed, he offered me another shirt and sweatpants, his other clothes still in my hotel room. "Come here" he grabs my hand as soon as I exit the bathroom, pulling me to his bedroom. He lays on the bed, opening his arms for me to lay down with him. I don't even have to think about it, I get on the bed and lay in his arms. "Wow this is way better than the guest bed." I say listening to his heartbeat. "I had an amazing night with you Annalise. Hell, An amazing week." I move my head so I can see his face in the ambient lighting. "I did too. Who knew going to Whataburger late at night was such a good idea." I say smiling. Next thing I knew, he pulled me in for a kiss. It was magical, it's just like how everyone describes their first kiss. I lay my head back on his chest. "Goodnight Max" I say copying his breathing, waiting on a response. "Goodnight princess" I heard him say right before I fell asleep.
