Nameless

Chapter 36.

To be quite honest with myself, the date was a beautiful disaster in my opinion.

~Flash back~

6 P.M. on the dot Erik picks me up from my dorm after hours of Cassie and Hali trying to put me in a dress. They finally gave up but they made me wear my skull crop top and skinny jeans with my converse. After hours of arguing I finally gave in and put it on.

When I see Erik I feel over dressed. He's just in his normal clothes and I'm all dressed up.

And I notice that he keeps glancing down at my stomach, curse those girls.
"Umm.. Should we go?"

He clears his throat and nods.
As we walk I get tired. I have no clue where we're going. We've walked more then a mile and my knees start to hurt.

He picks me up and throws me on his shoulder and starts running. A few minutes later I'm dropped and land right on my face and my nose starts bleeding.

While Erik takes his shirt off and presses it to my nose he can't stop apologizing for dropping me. I assured him it was fine, it's not the first time I got my nose hit.
"Erik, where are we going exactly?"

"Well, umm, I kinda wanted you to meet my parents."
WHAT!! Is he insane?! This is our first date.

"Umm Erik that's too-"
"I know, but they want to meet you since I can't stop talking about you. But now your nose is busted, maybe we should call it quits and I'll take you back."
"No, it's okay. Accidents happen all the time."

"Okay. Well, get on me piggy back style then."
I grin and hop on his bare back with his shirt on my nose and then a few minutes later I see a bunch of people standing there that look a lot like Erik.

As they see us they all seemed confused.
As I slowly climb down from Erik's back I give him his shirt.
"Sorry for the blood."
He laughs, " Really? That's what your worried about? I can get a new shirt."

I nod.
Then I turn,
"Hi, I'm Emily."

I see very older looking versions of Erik and guess these are his parents and siblings.

They are all smiling and I'm confused and then Erik's arms go around my waist and his head goes on my head. I'm so confused.

He's mom looks us up and down then says very rudely,
"Ohh, I guess we can't go in now."
Then I see a very fancy looking restaurant behind her and shrink back into Erik.

His dad, I think, says,
"We'll meet you another time maybe under different, and better, circumstances."
I nod and then turn to Erik.

But I guess I turned to fast and I hit my head on his hard chin.

"What are we doing now.?"
"Umm ice cream?"
He says very nervously.

I sigh.
"Maybe we can just sit and talk. I mean, you have no shirt and I'm all bloody and I'm pretty sure a bruise is forming on my forehead. Don't want anyone to think you beat me, do we?" He just laughs and grabs my hand and we walk all the way back to my dorm.

"So I guess this is goodnight then, Erik. Thank you for a very interesting night."

"It doesn't have to be over.."
I blush at what he's saying, then I think he gets what he says.

"Not like, that. Just, maybe we could share a bed and sleep. Nothing has to happen."

I nod,
"Okay."

And that's how we slept in the same bed but did nothing.

That's how I woke up in his arms the next morning.
