My Mythical Best and My Mythical Worst

Dinner, Again

***Jaden***

I looked at myself in the mirror before exiting the bathroom. I was wearing casual clothes. A white tank top with a black heart on it and a black leather jacket to go over it with a pair of black skinny jeans with two zippers for pockets. For shoes I wore a pair of black converse that I wear every day. I pulled my hair into a halo braid and clip it in the back with a black bow. I touch up on my makeup a bit and walk out the door.

I was meeting him in the studio parking lot and from there he would drive to wherever he felt like taking me. I hope he has the whole night a prepared rather than winging it.

As I pull into the parking lot he is already there dressed casually in a Rhett and Link t-shirt with a hoodie hanging from his gangly arms. He was also wearing skinny jeans, and mythical shoes. I smiled at him and walked closer. We hugged and he said "We are walking. I hope that's alright." I nodded and we started walking down the street.

As we were passing the coffee shop we went to two weeks ago, he grabbed my hand. He looked at me and I didn't know what to do. I though I was going to cry again, but I didn't. I smiled. I smiled and we kept walking.

We walked to the park where there was a picnic set up and he pulled me toward it giddy with joy. I started giggling and he pulled me down to sit. I did and he pulled out two glasses from the basket with a bottle of wine. "Is that the same wine w e drank on the day we met?" I asked. He just smiled and poured it into the glass.

We enjoyed eating and talking until the sun started to set. We leaned back on the blanket. He grabbed my hand again and I scooted closer to him. I was snuggled into his side when he said "So it's a date?" I smiled and sighed. "Yeah. It's a date."

We sat for another hour in silence watching the sun set. It began getting dark so we decided to pack up and walk back to the studio. He was holding the basket in one hand and my hand in the other. I had offered to carry something but he insisted that he do it. I thought it was sweet of him.

We got to the parking lot and he put the basket into the back of his car and turned back toward me. "I really did have fun." He said. I smiled and pushed my bangs back behind my ear. "Me too." I said and he pushed his glasses up on his face and I looked down. My bangs fell back into my face and he reached up and pushed them back. He moved his hand to my chin and pushed my head up so I was looking at him.

We stayed like that for a few seconds and it didn't get awkward. He leaned in and kisses my cheek. My stomach did flips because I thought he was going to kiss me. I don't know if I was relieved or disappointed that he didn't kiss me but something took over in my brain.

He said "Goodnight. I will see you tomorrow at work." And began to walk away and the little voice in my head screamed go get him! That's your man! He's walking away!

"Link." I said "wait." I grabbed his arm and he turned back around. I kissed his lips lightly and pulled away. He focused on me for a second before smirking. He pushed his glasses up again and walked away.

I smiled to myself and stood there. I stood there till I couldn't see Link anymore. He drove away and I wouldn't see him till tomorrow. I wanted it to be tomorrow already.

I sped all the way home and tried to sleep but couldn't so I got on Facebook. Link was on so I messaged him.

Me - Hey. Can't sleep. What's up?

After about two minutes my phone rang and it was Link. We talked until we both fell asleep on the phone.
