Don't Make This Easy

6: Dates and Confessions

Mikey POV

"Where are we going?" I asked her, as she gave me directions as to where to go.

As you can tell, the date is going fantastically well. We're just looking for a place to hang out.

We would've went to mine, but I don't want Jase to feel awkward.

Plus, I wanna get to know Cat without any interruptions...

No, not in that way.

Perverts...

"Turn left here!" She chimed in happily, as we jammed out to Damned If I Do Ya by All Time Low.

This is awesome... She knows every word AND the harmonies.

She looks like she's having so much fun. I am too. The only other person i've really had this much fun with was Jase.

Let's not start with that...

... Hmm... This is weird... No texts from anyone...

Oh well, enjoy the date, deal with it later!

The song ends and This is Gospel from Panic! At The Disco comes on, while I pull into a deserted parking lot. I turn the music down and look over to Cat.

"So," I start, awkwardly looking around. "Why'd you bring us here?"

"This is where I like to hang out and just talk!" she stated happily. "Do you wanna go outside?" She asks, smiling at me.

I smile back and put the car in park, leaving the music on low so that there is still something going on in the background.

We hop out of the car and sit on the hood of the car.

Next thing I know, I hear rustling. As if someone was looking for something inside a small bag.

What the...

I look over at Cat and I notice 2 new items on the hood of the car.

"Is everything ok?" She says, looking at me worriedly.

"Y-yeah," I manage to choke out, slightly in shock. "I just never pictured you as a smoker..." I trailed off.

She puts a stick in her mouth and lights it. "Oh yeah," She begins, looking away. "I don't really tell anyone. A lot of guys think it's disgusting..." She trails off. "You don't mind, do you?" She asked with wide eyes and a hint of fear in her voice.

"No, not at all," I began, thinking.

I knew Calum smokes. Me and him used to smoke all the time... Jasey flipped on us for it. Calum still does it, but I haven't had one since we moved...

God, temptation is a bitch.

"Mind if I have one?" I ask, non-chalantly.

She looked at me shocked before nodding while taking one out of her pack.

I put the smoke in my mouth and she hands me a girly pink lighter.

Like, a Highlighter pink lighter...

I chuckle quietly while I light the smoke when I hear-

"What?" asked the confused girl with house pet for a name.

"It's just the lighter. It really matches you." I say smiling. She smiles back.

Drag, exhale.

"So," I begin, "When did you start smoking?"

"About a couple of months ago. My friend Jade gave me one when we were drunk at her house." She said as she took another drag.
