Alone

Telling Him...

Chapter 3:

School went by pretty past, nothing eventful happened so far. Right now I'm in my room trying to figure out what to wear for dinner with Josh. I'm really nervous, I mean I have no idea how he will react. What teenage boy would want to have a baby in high school? I don't think anyone wants that kind of responsibility at this age. After I chose what I am going to wear, I hoped into the shower and then after I got dressed in my cute gray knee length dress and my black ankle books. I also put on a bracelet and a neckless to add to the look, last but not least I did my make up and I left my hair down. When I was done getting ready I looked at the time 5:45 pm. I had 15 minute to spare. I put on some perfume and then grabbed my bag and made sure I had everything I needed. I walked down stairs and sat on the couch waiting for the bell to ring. I was day dreaming when I heard my sister's voice.

"Hey Cindy, you look great!" Jessica said.

"Thanks". I smiled.

"Hey um, are you ok? I mean you just seem a little off today."  Jessica asked with a concerned look on her face.

"W-what? No, no I'm fine." I said trying to sound convincing.

"Okay, but know if you need someone to talk to, remember I'm always here." Jessica said to me putting a hand on my shoulder.

I smiled. "Okay I will, thanks." I said.

Just at that moment the doorbell rang.

"Well, have fun."Jessica said to me.

"Thanks, see you when I get back." I said to Jessica.

"Ok, bye!"Jessica said waving to me.

I opened the door to see Josh wearing back dress pants and a fancy shirt.

"Hey Cindy, you look beautiful today." Josh said smiling.

"Thanks, you look great to." I said smiling back.

Once we were out the door, Josh took my hand in his and led me to his car. The car ride was just filled with small talk and laughing. 15 minutes later, we arrived at this cute fancy restaurant. Once we were seated, the waitress came with our menus. After a while of us looking though them, we decided on what we wanted to order. We waited for the waitress to come and tell her what we wanted. After about 2 minutes she came.

"Are you guys ready to order?" The waitress, who's name tag says Sara, asked.

"Um, I would like the fried chicken with the shrimp and my girlfriend would like the parmesan pasta." Josh said to the nice lady.

"Ok, and any drinks?" She asked.

"Uh yes, two waters please." Josh said.

"Okay, your order will be here soon" Sara said smiling.

"Ok, thanks." Josh said

The lady left, and that made me drift off into my void of thoughts. I don't want Josh to leave me. He is so nice and so amazing. I-I even think I love him. Does he love me back?

"Cindy? Are you ok?" Josh asked concerned.

"Yeah I am, sorry." I lied again. I seemed to be doing that a lot lately.

"It's fine, if you need to tell me anything you can." Josh said.

"I know, thanks." I said giving him a small smile.
