A Stringed Love Story

Chapter 2 - Early Date

As I got home I took a deep breath and placed the sunset postcards on the bench, and took a deep breath, I had a weird feeling in my stomach past the drink, it was like a warm fuzzy feeling but at the same time I felt bad I hardly talked to Michael and now I have his number. It was all very weird. I also felt something vibrate on my leg, but this time it wasn't some fuzzy feeling it was my phone, it was Michael saying;
'Hey! Want to go out tomorrow night? And be my date? ☻'
I didn't want to go. I mean. I only just met him it was too soon, but as I was typing I suddenly stopped myself, I can't say no to probably the only boy that calls me beautiful and got the fuzzy feeling from. So I typed back;
'Of course' All of a sudden my whole body shivered and had a deeper fuzzy feeling, and raced over to dad who was in his comfy chair reading 'Fifty Shades Of Grey'
"Dad" I say "Mhmm" he says "Dad!" I yell.
"Alright alright, I'm listening. What's wrong darling?"
"Well, when I was out shopping I met a boy named Michael and we chatted for about an hour or so"
He butts in.
"I was wondering why you took so long" he says looking up at me now.
"Yes, well, he invited me on a date tomorrow. Can I go?" He looks up and smiles
"Yes, but make sure I get a glimpse of him" I smile and nod.
And then race out to mum.
"Mum, can I go on a date tomorrow night?"
"Woah woah woah! With who?" She says puffing
"A boy named Michael that I met today, we chatted for a while"
"Alright, but come home at ten that's the latest!"
I smile and a high pitched scream kicks in. My first date.
Another beep goes off in my phone.
'I'll pick you up at 6:00 what's your address?"
I start typing my address then turn back to mum
"Did you get the postcards?" She says
"Yes Sunset ones"
I turn away and slowly walk to my room, each step I'm taking in what's happening.
I'm going on a date, tomorrow night, with Michael. I took a deep breath and when I finally reached my room I glanced over to my wardrobe CLOTHES! I need clothes to wear, I walked over to my wardrobe and mutter to myself "be you, dress like you would" so I started taking out my black leather jacket, and a tank top and some black skinny jeans. Maybe a bit too black, but I like it. I feel yet another vibration. It's Michael
'Can we make it tonight? I can't wait this long" he says. I strongly agree with him. I can't wait this long! So I text back.
'Sure'
'Ok I'll be over in like 10 minutes?'
'Yes see you soon x'
I start to get changed really quickly than I start texting  mum and dad even know they are over ten metres away. I panicked. And because they're my parents they text back straight away with dad saying;
'Ok'
And mum;
'Alright'
I sat in the lounge room and waited for his arrival. I started getting nervous again and the fuzzy feeling which is very hard to get over. So I start doing my little breathing thing until I hear a silent knock at the door. I get up and see through the blurry glass it's Michael. And open the door.
"Hello" he says smiling and scratching the back of his head.
"Hey!" I yell out to mum and dad to say goodbye and get a yell back from both of them, then walk outside to Michael. "So seeing you liked Music, I decided to take you to a local place called The Shire, it's not very popular but it has music" he puts his arm around me and leads me to the car. Once I get in I have a deep breath which is filled with a nice car smell. Like a new car smell. He takes me into town and near the beach. There is an old building right next to it. Like a Motel with words at the top which I can just make out that say 'The Shire' he put his arm back around me and lead me inside of the place. I can already hear the music from inside, I look at Michael who's smiling up ahead. He's wearing a red checkered top and black skinny jeans. He walks in and points out a table that's says 'Reserved' with a cardboard piece next to it that says 'For Michael and Zoe' I look around to see so many lights that fill the room, almost like stars. I sit down and look at the menu I look down to find Spag Bowl, which is my absolute favourite so I put my menu down and look at Michael. "You've already decided!" He says smiling
"Well Spaghetti is my favourite" I say he nods at the waiter and says "two bowls of Spag bowl please" The two bowls are already made so he comes out in almost a minute. "We should try to do the scene from Lady and the Tramp" I say laughing.
"We should actually" he says picking up a piece of spaghetti.
"Really?" "Really" I grab one end and put it in my mouth and so does he. I start sucking on the pasta and it splits in two and we both get tomato sauce on our heads and burst out laughing.
