I was ready for this fake date with Jordan, Joey and his lady friend. Well I was not really ready. I dressed up. Made sure to look as hot as I could. I was so unsure about what I was wearing. I was unsure about this night all together! Maybe I should not go at all! Maybe stay in! There soon was a knock on the door.
"Jordan" I say as I open the door. He stands there holding flowers out to me. He was so sweet.
"Thank you Jordan" I giggle as he comes in.
"A good date should bring flowers" he says. He kisses my cheek.
"My you look good enough to eat" he jokes. His gaze hungrily eats me up mentally. I blush. Good. This was a perfect outfit.
"Think Joey will regret asking us out?" I laugh.
"I will regret not taking a cold shower right now" Jordan laughs. We head down to the dining hall for dinner. Jordan had offered me his elbow like a gentlemen leading the way. A live band played for everyone. There was a large buffet for everyone. It looked amazing.
I soon spot him. Joey. And his hot date Alexandra. I could do this. No issues right?
I breathe in deeply. Why did Joey have to look so hot?
"You alright?" Jordan whispers in my ear. I nod.
"I will be" I tell him softly. Lie lie lie. I was dying inside. I was not about to let Joey know. Jordan leads me to the table where they are at. My heart beats faster as we get closer to the table. He looks up. Right into my eyes. He smiles brightly.
"Jordan! Holly! So glad you came" he greets us hello. He hugs Jordan. He shakes my hand. Jordan sits be down at the table. Joey was across from me. Alexandra was sitting in front of Jordan. I sigh. I place the napkin in my lap.
"Drinks first?" Jordan asks us all. I nod.
"Sounds good" I say.
We all wait to order. I feel a set of eyes on me. I look over. I see Joey looking over at me. I nod then smile. I look over at Jordan. He places a hand on mine to comfort me. The waiter comes over. Bringing the menus. We order drinks.
"Holly you drink? You never were much of a drinker! You could not hold it down" laughs Joey.
"I drink sometimes. Here and there" I say. I blush. He remembered....
1988
"Joey I got the beer from my parents! Want to try it?" I giggle.
"Holly you know it will make you yack" he warns me.
"Come on, live a little. They are not here" I say. I pour us a drink. We manage to pour a couple down.
"Man that is strong stuff" he gags as we finish a drink.
"Sure is. No more" I giggle. I play some music on the radio. I was happy to have Joey there back home. I had some time with him. He pulls me in his embrace for a dance.
"Sure is nice" he says softly as he gazes in my eyes.
"What is nice?" I ask.
"You. Me. Alone" he says.
"My folks thought that Hannah was coming over to study" I giggle.
"You fibber" he jokes.
"I wanted to be alone. With you. I just never get the chance to be alone with you" I manage to say. My heart beats faster. Alone with Joey. I wanted him to make love to me. So badly I wanted him to be my first. He kisses me. My heart races.
"I love you Holly" he says for the first time. My heart races faster.
"Joey, I love you to" I manage to say happily. He kisses me. My fingers roam in his hair as he pulls me closer. The music played loudly overhead. My heart was racing so fast. Just the two of us here. At last. He groans as he kisses me. It was getting hotter in there. He kisses my neck sending shivers down my spine. The room spun. I nearly fall over. The booze was getting to me. Joey catches me in his embrace as I stumble.
"There girl. Careful" he laughs. His blue eyes twinkle.
"Oh Joey. I feel so bad" I groan. Suddenly. I rush over to the trash can. I throw up in front of him. I was humiliated. This was not at all the romantic night I had planned. Not at all.
"Sweetie" he laughs. He holds my hair out of my face as I get sick. He helps me. He takes care of me. Makes me lay on the couch.
"I ruined this night" I cry. Tears come to me.
"Not at all baby. When the time is right it will happen for us like I said. This was not the right time" he tells me as he brushes my hair out of my eyes. He touches my cheek. I smile.
"I love you Joey" I say softly. He grins.
"I love you to sweetie" he kisses my forehead.
Joey's song plays by the band. "I love You Came To Late" tears come to me at the table. I could not let him see me cry. Not here. Not now. Not like this....
"Holly? You okay?" Jordan whispers to me.
"I can't do this" I manage to reply. I get up from the table. I rush out.
"Holly!" I hear someone call my name. I take off. I head over to the railing. Looking over at the ocean. Tears come to me. I never got over him. I was so easy for him to get over. He never loved me. Not like he said he had. I gripe the railing as tears fall down. Falling into the ocean below me. I could feel the sea breeze on my skin.
"Holly" I hear someone say my name. I look behind me. Joey was standing there. He smiles sadly at me.
"Go away" I manage to choke out as I head to leave. He stops me. He pulls me in his embrace. He looks into my eyes sadly.
Suddenly he kisses me.
"It is never too late" he whispers to me after. He kisses me again making my head spin.
