Fat Girl Love Problems

Chapter Seven

Question of the day: You think I'm what?

Today is indeed my 'date' with Zay. I wonder what's he like outside of work? Is he nice? Well in our early encounters he seems pretty cool.

   "Brooke, aren't you excited about today?" Leah asked me while munching on her apple.

   "Should I? I mean wha-"

   "Stop thinking all negative about him and what's going to happen during the date. I mean yesterday you were all like 'what if a UFO decides to show up that day? And takes him only?'" Leah tried to mimic my voice. Which didn't sound like me at all.

   "I think I'm allowed to do that. Lee this is my first date in like forever. I don't know what to expect." I reasoned.

   "Its your first date Brooke. Its going to be great. Let me help you with your clothes and make-up." Leah said excitedly.

   "I'm going to the theater Leah not a fancy restaurant."

   "Okay... but still let me help you."

***************

Its 5:47pm and I'm really nervous. Zayden is supposed to pick me up at 6. I'm casually wearing a gray long sleeve with some black leggings and black high-top converse. Leah straighten my hair and did my make-up like she said she was. Even though I said I can put mascara on by myself cause I'm a big girl.

Beep Beep

I looked out the window to see who it was. It ended up being the neighbor waiting for someone. It didn't take long for another car to honk. This time the door bell rang.

   "I'll get it!" I heard Leah shout "Brooke!" Oh snap its him.

I took my time getting out of my room and down the stairs.

Zayden had on a red Last Kings crew neck with black jeans and some Timberlands. His hair was messy today. Well like always. He looked okay. Who am I kidding? He looked better than okay, he looked hot.

   "You ready?" Zayden asked me.

   "Yup. Lee I'll be back by..."

   "Nine. She'll be back by nine. Don't worry she's in good hands."

   "Good. If she's back later than nine and not safe I won't hesitate to chop off your dick and glue it to your face so you can be a uni-dick." Leah threaten. Gosh she made me feel threaten as well.

   "Ha-hah okay. I promise she'll be fine. Come on."

***************

   "So what movie are we going to watch?" I asked for the millionth time. How far can a theater be? How hard is it to say 'oh we're watching this movie'?

   "You look pretty today Brooke,"

Pretty? Did I hear that right? Well duh are you deaf Brooke?

   "You know this is the time where you say 'Zayden you look pretty hot as well.'"

   "Ha-hahh not happening brother."

   "You don't think I look good today?" He put a hand over his heart.

   "Umm well yeah I gu-"

   "We're here." Zayden cut me off.

I didn't notice we had arrived at our destination.

Zayden parked the car and ran to my side so he can open mine. Well what a gentlemen.

   "Lets watch Wedding Ringer." He suggested.

   "Oooo the one with Kevin Hart?" I asked excitedly. I love me some Kevin. He's so funny! And short. Yes I said it, he's real short.

   "Can I get two tickets fro Wedding Ringer?"

   "Your total is $18.29"

I gave Zayden a 20 but he refused. Men.

***************

Oh my, that movie was hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing. I think I was one of the loudest in there. Oh well it was dark nobody saw it was me.

   "You want to go somewhere cool?" Zayden asked me.

   "I think we should start heading back. Its almost 9 and Leah's threat kind of scared me." I respond. He chuckled and nodded.

   "So tell me more about yourself Bee."

   "Bee? Its either Brooke or Brooklyne. I honestly don't do other nicknames."

   "Sorry."

   "Its okay. What would you like to know?" I shifted on the car seat. I really didn't feel that comfortable telling him my back round story. At least not yet.

   "Basic stuff. Like fave color? Fave sport?"

   "My favorite colors are red and black. Oh and gray. I'm into basketball.. We're from Chicago Zayden I obviously go fro the Bulls."

   "I'm actually from Florida. I moved here cause my mom married this dude and his family lived here so we moved here as well."

Well that was a bit deep. I didn't think he'll tell me stuff like that.

   "Oh, I didn't know. Zayden can I ask you something?"

   "You just did." We both chuckled at that.

   "Anyway, my question is why did you ask me on a date?"

   "Well because when you first came to my store you looked very pretty. I've never seen anybody like you. So when you came back the second time I thought eh what the heck what are the chances I'll see you for the third time so I gave you my number." He looked at me for three seconds (yup I counted) then back at the road.

   "How can a girl like me get your attention? I mean you're a hot guy. Have you seen me? Or at least my body? I'm not your type."

   "So then what's my type? Huh? Yeah I've seen your body. What's wrong with it?"

   "I'm a bit big. Are you blind?"

   "And you think that matters to me?"

   "Yes! Guys like you are into skinny girls."

The rest of the car ride was silent. Him looking at the road and me looking out the window. When I saw my street come to view I was ready to jump on my bed and forget about this argument.

   "Thanks for the night. It was fun." I was about to open the door when Zayden gripped my arm and pulled me towards him.

   "What are yo-" I was cut off and felt his lips on mine. His hand was placed on the back of my head to pull me more towards him. He bit my lip making me gasp. He took his time exploring my mouth.

I pulled away because a girl needed to breath.

   "Wow," Zayden said while he placed both hands on my face. I smiled at him.

   "I have to go." He pecked my lips one more time before he let me go.

   "I'll text you okay?" He said before he sped off in the dark,

I quickly unlock the front door and ran to my room. Well speed walk cause you all know my chubby butt don't run. I can't believe he kissed me. I guess Leah was right about dates.
