Flabby Patty

5.

I must admit, I was a little excited to be going on a date but at the same time I was terrified. What if this Mackenzie thought I was fat? What if he thought I was drop dead ugly?

Oh well, it wouldn't be the first time anyone thought that of me.

I sprayed on some perfume on my collared shirt, & down to my blue jeans. Looking at my reflection in the mirror, I grimaced. My frizzy never fell into place but to be honest I looked better than I did most days.

It was quarter past seven, which meant Avery would be here any minute at my doorstep. My door bell rang making me jump and I ran down the stairs almost tripping.

Avery was standing at the doorway, as I opened the door, wearing a red dress that showed off her flawless curves. In short, she looked sexy as hell. "Hey Patty," she grinned and a guy quite taller, stepped up beside her.

I must say my jaw dropped open because he was jaw droppingly gorgeous. His broad shoulders looked flawless under his blue varsity jacket.

"This is Mac," Avery winked at me again.

"Nice to meet you," Mac spoke gently holding out his hand and I took it shaking it.

"Let me just lock the door," I mumbled stepping out and locking the door behind me. My heart felt like it had jumped to my throat. Mackenzie was gorgeous and I was a mess.

Avery poked my back and quickly ran off to Hunter's car parked in front the house, leaving me standing with Mac awkwardly.

"Shall we?" he smiled, dimples forming on both his cheeks and I could have sworn I died.

My face was probably bright red and I nodded. To my surprise, he took my hand and led to me the car. His hand was extremely soft as well as warm and I was worried that mine was too sweaty.

Avery sat in the passenger seat with Hunter at the driver's seat and yeah me and Mac were in the back seat.

"Hey Flabby Patty," Hunter exclaimed looking at me through the review mirror. "You look great."

I rolled my eyes and Mac chuckled followed by Avery's laugh. She seemed pretty happy to have set me up with Mackenzie.

The drive to wherever we were going was extremely long. Hunter and Avery held hands during the whole drive while me and Mac sat at an awkward distance from each other.

He probably thought I was such a freak show and was regretting to have agreed to go on a blind date.

"You don't talk much," he sighed scratching the back of his head nervously. "I don't usually go to such things but Avery here insisted I meet you."

"She did?" I blinked. It was so nice of Avery to think i was worthy enough of meeting her boyfriend's friends.

His chuckle was absolutely breathtaking and don't forget his flawless dimples. "You're cute."

The world was definitely ending. The cutest guy I had seen in a while thought I was cute. He thought Flabby Patty was cute.

"Thanks," I squeaked, my cheeks turning a bright pink color. He looked at me and I looked back at him staring right into his eyes. He made my heart race by just taking a gander at him. Mac was going to be the death of me.

I glanced at the rearview mirror and my eyes met Hunter's as he watched me. He looked away when he realized I was looking. Weirdo.

We all sat down on one table, me and Mac on one side, with Hunter and Avery facing us. It was some really fancy looking restaurant and to be honest I had just expected some arcade where we could play games and have fun.
