Taking Chances

Chapter 5

We slowly began to make our way back to my car. We were in no hurry.




Clouds began to roll in and it started down pouring. Adrian and I laughed.




"Awww man! We're getting soaked!" Adrian exclaimed.




I spotted a small cave not too far away and pointed it out. "Let's go in there until it stops. The car is still pretty far away."




I grabbed his hand and the two of us ran through the heavy rain to the cave. We found an opening and got in. It wasn't really a deep scary cave. It was more of a shallow cave. It was pretty much an overhang with huge rocks on two other sides that weren't the wall. One side was left open and there was a hole in one corner of the roof where the rock didn't quite reach the overhang.




Adrian laughed, "This is where my friends and I used to come when we were kids."




"My friends and I had one up past the creek. We had a lot of fun in it," I replied.




The two of us were both dripping wet. We looked as if we had just gotten out of the shower.




"These wet clothes are freezing," he said and took off his shirt. It was the first time I got to have a good look at his body. He had nice biceps and was solid like a football player. He definitely had muscle.




"Your turn!" He said jokingly and I punched him playfully in the shoulder and rolled my eyes.




We sat down on the rocky floor and he wrapped his arms around my shivering body to warm me up.




"So are you going to tell me what we are doing next for our date?" He asked.




He gave me a kiss.




I giggled, "Nice try. This whole date is a surprise."




"Okay. We better go get some dry clothes before whatever we are doing next," he said.




It stopped raining and we stood up and continued walking back to my car.




"Yeah because I know you don't want to be shirtless the entire time," I said with a smile and winked.




He laughed.




We got to my car and headed to get dry clothes.

We got back into my car after our second stop for changes of clothes. I glanced at the clock in my car. It was 5:32 p.m.




I pulled up to the super market.




"What are we doing here?" Adrian asked.




"We are gonna get stuff to make pizza," I replied with a smile.




He laughed, "Well this outta be interesting!"




We walked around the store grabbing random things that we thought we would need to make a pizza. We agreed on pepperoni. It was both of our favorite kinds. We had some trouble deciding what kind of cheese to get because there are so many kinds so we picked a random one and hoped for the best. After we got everything we needed, we went to check out where he insisted that he payed even though it was my idea. Then we headed back to my house. My family was out of town for my brother's JV football game this weekend so we had the place to ourselves.




We got inside and layed out all the ingredients. We paused for a minute and stared at them.




"Now what?" Adrian asked.




"Ummmm, how about we set the oven so it has time to heat up," I replied, completely clueless.




"Ok, I'm just gonna set it somewhere in the middle because I have no clue how to do this," he said with his cute smile.




We got out a pan and tried getting the dough out of the container.




I began pounding the dough container on the counter but it wouldn't break open,"How come this thing won't open like it always does?"




Adrian took the dough from me, "Try tearing off the paper first and THEN pound it on the counter." He said and got the dough open.




"Whoops," I giggled. "Blonde moment!"




We both laughed as we pressed the dough into the pan. Then we began to spread on the pizza sauce, which Adrian somehow spilled all over his white shirt.




We died of laughter and I went and got him one of my brother's t-shirts to borrow since they wore the same size. Once again he removed his shirt and butterflies grew in my stomach.




Once we got the pizza sauce all cleaned up we sprinkled on the cheese and pepperoni and threw it in the oven.




I showed him around my house and by the time the tour was over, the pizza was ready.




He pulled it out of the oven and cut out a slice. He grabbed a fork and got a bite of the pizza.




"This actually is pretty good," he said with a satisfied smile.




"Let me try some," I told him.




He cut off another bite and fed it to me.




"Wow. I'm impressed. I thought it would be terrible," I said.




"Yeah me too," he replied.




Adrian grabbed another plate and got me a slice of pizza and we went and sat down with them.




"Do you want a coke too?" I asked as I got up to get myself one.




"Sure," he replied.




I came back with them and sat down. We each ate three pieces of our pizza. It was soooooo good. The rest we put in the fridge for later.




After a few minutes of letting our bellies settle, we headed back to my car to go to our next activity of the night.
