Behind Closed Doors

We walked for about ten minutes before we reached the restraunt. The mood seemed dark yet romantic. There were red, maroon, and purple curtains hung near the windows. As a centerpiece for each table were two roses inside a translucent, purple and skinny vace.

"Wow." Was all I could say.

"Well..they're Italian."

That was a stupid thing to say. How was being romantic have to do with being Italian? Whatever. I want to enjoy tonight.

I gave him a fake laugh, "Did you reserves a table?" He nodded then looked for the hostess.

"Uh...Table for two and uh..the name is Charden."

I giggled, "Charden?" He blushed then scratched the back of his neck nervously, "Yeah..When I called I didn't know what to put for the name.so I mashed ours together..Charden."

The hostess smiled, "Right this way." She led us to the corner of the restraunt, a few feet away from everyone else. There were way more roses than two in the middle of our table. I think it was a dozen. "You didn't have to do this..I would've been alright with a movie."

"Not with the way you're dressing." He teased as I blushed.

"I had no choice. You'd tell everyone."

He sighed, "I don't understand why you won't go to the showcase. You're amazing." I blushed again, geez this boy just won't stop!

"I told you already, Aiden. Everyone will treat me differently. I'd rather have people enjoy me for who I am." He then grabbed my hand and squeezed it, "I love you for who you are."

Was he flirting? Oh god, I'm not the flirty type! "Well, if you'd like, we could go back to my house and we could watch a movie. You could spend the night if you want. You could borrow my sister's clothes."

I gasped. "Use Angie's clothes?" He nodded. His sister Angie was basically the killer bee of Fairtop High. She was a senior and gossips all the time. I think she's running for prom queen for homecoming. I'm not surprised. The only reason why I could fit into Angie's clothes was because she was scrawny and skinny, but so pretty! I bet she's bulimic or something.

"She has so many clothes she wouldn't notice, honestly. You can even have one of her outfits to go home in if you'd like. I hugged him across the table, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

"Have a nice day, Mr. and the future Mrs. Summers!" The waitress said to us nicely as we left the restraunt. My eyes widened as we walked out.

"Did you pay her extra to say that?"

He laughed. "Yup, while you were in the bathroom."

I sighed then laughed at the reaction of the other people in the restraunt when they saw us together.

"So...good?" He asked.

"Amazing." I said, patting my stomach. "Well, let's walk to my house. You can call your mom and tell her whatever excuse you like for sleeping over at my house."

I nodded, "Yeah." I pulled out my phone and waited for three rings until my mom answered.

"Hi sweetie, where are you?"

Oh yeah, did I forget to mention she doesn't know about the date?

Yeah...I did. Woops.

"Uh..I'm with a friend from school. We have a big test next Friday so we're studying. You don't mind if I sleep over, do you? I can walk home tomorrow afternoon."

"No! Go ahead, sweetheart. Love you!" I then hung up and smiled at Aiden as we continued to walk.

"Are we really watching Doctor Who?" Aiden asked me. I laughed as I sat down on the couch a few feet away from him.

"Yup. I love this show."

He laughed, "You are such a nerd sometimes. You know that, Char?" I laughed, "I kinda am."

"If this is the last time I'm going to say it..Rose Tyler-" The tenth Doctor said to Rose Tyler as he faded away from Daleg and back into the TARDIS. I felt warm tears streaming down my face.

"Are you really crying, Char?" I nodded, "Y-y-yeah.." He crawled towards me on the sofa and wiped my tears. I looked back at the screen and saw ten crying his eyes out.

I then ended the episode and cried in Aiden's arms.

"It's just a show, Char..shh..okay. Let's go get you some PJ's from Angie's room, okay?"

I nodded then followed him upstairs to his sister's room. We went to her walk in closet and he grabbed me a tank top and shorts.

"Choose whatever clothes you want for tomorrow." I did as I was told then ran back downstairs with him. I quickly changed in his bathroom then sat back down on the couch with him.
