First Time for Everything (small bxb)

Date, but Not a Date?

Hey people, I am upDATEing early. [you'll get the pun at the end of the chapter] So be proud of me. :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two days after I heard Jeff's bi life story, I was released from the hospital. But not after a day full of boring-ness that even the guys, as entertaining as they are, couldn't get the dull thud of boredom out of my head.

~Flashback~

'I am sooooo bored!" I moaned to Jeff, who was sitting next to me, saying nothing. He didn't respond. The other boys had left to go to some game. Football? Soccer? Basketball? When it comes to sports, I am clueless.

I sighed for the zillionth time today, there was nothing to do. Absolutely nothing. The highlight of the day so far was getting up and walking around for like, two hours. Up and down the hallway, ignoring strange looks as I paced back and forth. My hair was up in a messy bun and my hospital gown flowing around me, I guarantee I looked like crap. I lost track of how many times I paced up and down that stupid hallway, from my room, 246, to room 305. But I could only walk around so much until my legs got tired and I had to sit back down on the uncomfortable hospital bed.

I texted Clara a bit, but she was busy, visiting family in Wisconsin. That didn't exactly sound all that interesting, Wisconsin that is. I've never been or known anybody who has told me about it, but what was out there? I understand that where I live in New Hampshire definitely isn't the 'it' place in the US, but what was out there, was it just trees and....bugs? I don't know.

Jeff cleared his throat, interrupting my thoughts which I was grateful for. 'This is what happens when people don't entertain me.'

I looked at Jeff expecting him to say something to me. He caught my eye, a blush creeping up his neck intruding onto his cheeks, and he looked back down at his shoes.

I cleared my throat as well, "Yes?"

Jeff looked over at me, apparently surprised I had said something, seeing as I hadn't said anything almost all day.

"Um...." He mumbled, looking around the room frantically as if searching for something to say to me.

"Whats wrong with you?" I asked, perplexed.

"U-um....." He stuttered again.

I sighed, giving up. He was a mess, but why? This was definitely not the Jeff I had met. And it was sort of weirding me out.

We didn't speak for a couple of minutes and I was beginning to drift off into a bored sleep, when he caught me off guard.

"Will you go out with me? Tonight?"

[it would really suck if the chapter ended here, wouldn't it.....but it won't.]

I looked at Jeff. Jeff that had introduced himself in the hallway the other day. Jeff that had convinced me he was a stripper. Jeff that had ran into me with a CAR.

"I don't mean like a date, date," He rushed on, "I mean like....an apology date. I feel really bad about um...the other day."

I don't know why, but I felt like something crumbled inside of me. Like I had just gotten socked in the gut. I don't know if that was my confidence, or my pride....or what it was, but when he specified it wasn't a date, something happened inside me. This was my first date, and apparently it wasn't even a DATE.

I'm really not sure why or how or what my brain was thinking when the word, "Yes." slipped out of my mouth. Jeff smiled.

~End of flashback~

I smiled back at him, not having a clue that this would be the start of my first date, first kiss, first heartbreak, and my first love. Not a clue...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry if that reeeeally sucked, and I think it did. Oh yeah, did anybody get the corny pun? (*haha*) So....I'm not really in a great mood today, so I'll just publish this before my computer dies. SO, comment, vote, share, whatever. Remember, the more vote I get, the more quickly I will update my story. Have a great day :)

Later,
