Happily Ever After.. No (SQ to Not A Regular Girl)

Chapter 29

Today is the night of the game and I have been so nervous the whole day it drove my mom crazy. I had already worn the clothes that I was planning to wear, which is something that is never a problem for me. It's really easy for me to pick clothes to wear, but today boy, that was mission impossible.

I had already put on the team's jersey and some jeans but then I started thinking what will Angie like, maybe I should wear that one shirt that I gave her to sleep in a bunch of times. I wore the shirt and asked my mom's opinion which was "it will give her back some nice memories" but then I remembered Fredo's rule about not bringing back the past so I changed into another shirt. But then I remembered one of Angie's favorite color which is olive green so I took a sweater. Again I asked my mom's opinion and she said it looked fine. I was happy with the choice until I thought that I was going to be too obvious that I chose that color for her.

After going through ten outfits eventually my mom yelled at me, telling me that I should just wear what I first wore and get the hell out of the house. I didn't argue and did what she said. So now I'm back to wearing a maroon Cleveland jersey with a grey  sweater under it and some ripped jeans.

"You better not ask me what shoes to wear." My mom says as she sees I'm barefoot. I chuckle and shake my head. "You know, boys also think about what to wear just like girls!" Girls don't know that, but most of us guys do think about our outfits just like girls. But girls put more thought into it to be honest.

"Angie won't care about your outfit, she'll be happy you're there. She invited you for a reason." I smile and get myself a pair of socks from my drawer.

"Yeah, I'm pretty nervous." I put on the socks and look for some shoes inside you closet.

"You don't say?" My mom laughs at me as I accidentally put the wrong shoe on the wrong foot. I sigh and come out my closet. "I hope everything will go smoothly." I managed to put the vans on correctly this time and my mom smiles at me.

"Just breath and smile." My phone starts ringing, meaning Alfredo is here. He said he'll pick me up. I wonder if Angie is in the car with him or she chose to ride with Nathan instead. I don't know which one I would prefer, if Angie is the car then great because I get to see my girl but how will she react? How will I react? I'm nervous enough and she is not ever near me. But in the other hand if she chose to come with Nathan, that means more time for me to prepare myself, but it could be that Angie didn't want to see me just yet, maybe it wasn't her idea for me to come. This thoughts are driving me crazy.

"I hope I won't see you in the news." I kiss my mom on the top of her head and say goodbye. I jog downstairs and take deep breaths, preparing myself in case Angie is in the car. I come out of my house and there I see Alfredo's car.

He waves at me and I try to look inside, but there's no one there besides him. I let out a sigh and approach the car. As I'm close enough suddenly a head pops up. "I think my phone fell between your feet." All the oxygen leaves my lungs as I feel I have just been punched in the stomach. Alfredo bents down to search for her phone and let's Angie see me.

Her eyes widen as she sees me and I notice the edges of her lips rise. There,  that smile I have been missing for so long, there it is. There is the girl that has taken my heart and won't give it back. There she is smiling at me as if nothing had happened between us.

"Are you going to get in or walk to the game?" She giggles. There are so many things I want to say and do but I stand there dumbfounded, admiring her. I notice her lips as they have this shade, not the natural one I was used to. I want to kiss her so badly and that lipstick is not making it any easier. But if I'm honest lipstick or not I always want to kiss her.

"Found it!" Alfredo raises back up and hands Angie her phone.

"Justin, why are you standing there? Get in!" I shake my head and finally return to reality. I get inside the car and wonder where is Nathan.
