Disenchanted Lullabye

The Cheap Bouquet

Miranda's POV

I had taken my time getting ready for this mysterious date I would be going on in less than an hour. I was casual but a pretty casual. I had on light jeans, lace-up galaxy Vans, which I treasured, a blue tank top with a grey sweater and grey beanie stuffed into my back pocket in case we were outside and it got windy. I thought I looked good enough for a mildly fancy dinner but casual enough for a night of random fun.

I did some simple makeup and curled my hair just a small bit and killed some time by playing COD. By the time I was getting aggrivated, a knock on my door told me it was time to go. I was starting to get nervous. This would be the first date I've been on in about five years. What if I made a fool of myself? What if I didn't talk enough? What if I talked too much?! So many things I had to be aware of before going out with him along with the worry in the back of my head of Chris appearing out of nowhere and ruining everything.

I took a deep inhale and exhaled before opening the door.

"Oh wow, hey." Jaime said, whipping around to look at me with a slightly nervous smile. I was glad we were feeling the same way.

"Hey" I said and let him in. "I just have to grab a few things, okay?" He nodded and I went to my room before drooling over myself. He was wearing dark jeans with a black dress shirt that he had rolled up to his elbows. He looked just perfect. I can see now why everyone oogled over him.

I spritzed on a bit of perfume and calmed down before walking out with a smile. "Ready?" I asked and he nodded his head with a bright smile. I grabbed my keys and locked up before following him down to his car.

"You look great." He said as he opened the car door for me. I blushed and thanked him. Cute, funny and a gentleman... Would I ever get this lucky?

"Where are we going?" I asked as he got in and he smirked devilishly.

"Nope, it's a surprise." He said without looking at me. I both hated and like surprises.

We made some small talk during the drive to where ever he was taking me. He was an easy person to talk to and I was glad for that because in my earlier years, I wouldn't have said a word. I'm glad that I've broken out of my awkward shy shell to be able to speak almost freely to people.

"Ok, we're here." He said as he parked and looked over at me. I started laughing.

"Jaime.. Mini Golf?!" I said with a bright smile.

"Yeah, I thought it would be better than a boring dinner date." He chuckled softly but looked a little worried.

"I'm glad you didn't choose a boring dinner date, this is so much better." I smiled and hugged him. Much like everything in life; Awkward then comforting. We got out and walked up to the booth to pay. I pulled out my wallet to pay for myself but, with any guy, he told me to out it away. I hated letting him pay for me but it was a nice thing to do I suppose.

We grabbed our golf balls and clubs and went off to the first hole. This place was indoors and all blacklighted. I hadn't seen many places like this other than a bowling alley.

"Ready to get your butt whooped, pretty boy?" I smirked and nudged him and he smiled and shook his head.

"Ahh, the pretty lady has it all wrong." He winked and I could tell this would be an interesting night.

Jaime's POV ~

"Wha the hell do I even wear?!" I yelled from my room, fresh out of the shower. The guys were over for moral support, more or less.

"Just do something normal!" one of them yelled. I sighed, simple frustrated with myself. Now I know why girls freak out about this stuff. I wonder if Miranda is going through this too.
