I was sitting at the hightop table with Jackson. I think he's perfect for Christina. His accent is so sexy and his smile is just gorgeous. While talking with Jackson, I realized he's a very shy person. So while talking with him, I tried to get some information out of him.

"So, is your salad good?" He asked.
"Yeah, thanks for asking." There was a quiet pause.
"So anyways, um..." He said. "Why did you ask to go on this date with me?"
"I'm not, no, this isn't-" I moved my hands back and forth.
"Oh. So then why are you here with me?" Jackson smirked.
"Well, I was wondering if you wanted to go on a double date with Me, Nate, and Christina."
"So like, go on a date with some girl I don't know?"
"Well she's my best friend and Nate and I love her." I explained.
We talked about Christina for at least five minutes before he finally said yes. I had to lie about a few things. Saying, Christina actually likes flowers, and babies.

"Thank you so much!" I stood up from the table and gave him a warm hug. He grabbed on to my back, near my butt and just kept his hand there. I slowly moved away, trying not to make it obvious.
"No problem. You're just gonna have to do one thing for me." Jackson said, as he touched his brown, soft hair.
"What?"
"Go on a date with me."
"Um, me? Why?" I asked.
"Because I see something special in you Charlotte." He touched my arm.
"But I can't. You have to like Christina. Not me!"
"You can't hide your feelings Charlotte." He got closer to my face. I slowly pushed him away.

The rest of the car ride was awkward. It was quiet and really weird. All of a sudden, I had said, "Jackson, don't get me wrong, we have a special connection. But you're my boyfriend's cousin. This can't be happening."

"This can happen."
"No it can't!" I yelled. I yelled so loudly. I was louder than the music that was playing. Just feel bad. He really likes me but this could never happen. I'm not cheating on my boyfriend. I love Nate too much.

Once I got to Nate's house I ran up to him and gave him a big, warm hug.
"Hey babe." Nate smiled at me.
"I love you."
"I love you too. Is everything okay Charlotte?"
"Yeah, everything's fine." I lied.
