A warm hand wraps around my waist tightly, pulling me from behind.My back his a hard chest and I stiffen.
"Get off of her Matteo. She's with me" the body frame behind me says.
I look back up at the person behind me. Tall, Brown Hair, Dark stone cold...
"UP UP UP" a blurred voice yelled at the end of my bed
"Mm?"I turn over to look at who it was. Lauren is at the foot of my bed crawling up on it. She stands up on my bed and starts yelling.
"GET UPPPPP" she sings running in place, crushing my legs for a solid 2 minutes.
"Jesus Christ Lauren, why?" I groan putting my head back into the pillow
"YOU KNOW WHAT DAY IT IS?" She jumps down and sits besides me
"No" my voice muffles into the pillow
"ITS DATE PREPERATION DAYY!!!!!" She squeals.
"Lauren this isn't my first date" I turn over squinty eyed as she shakes me.
"Yeah but it isn't your tenth one either. Therefore I'll train you for this date so you won't screw it up" she smiles as if she's doing me a favour. Like she didn't just insult me.
"Gee. Whatever did I do to deserve this award-like favor" i speak flatly not really caring for the situation right now, I pull the covers back over my head. It was 8 a.m. Who wakes someone up at 8 a.m.?
She runs back to the end of the bed and grabs my leg. Hauling me out of bed. My body immediately reacts to the cold air and I instantly miss my duvet.
"Seriously Cas, you've never been in a proper relationship!" Lauren folds her arms
"Neither have you!" I cross my arms too and squint at her
"Touche" and she's quiet for a moment and I bite my lip to stop myself from laughing.
"Puh-leaseeeee Cassss?" She whined pulling my arm
"No" "Please" "Nuh uh" "Please" "Lauren I said no" "PLEASEEEEEEEE" It feels like shes going on forever and I can't take it anymore.
"Fine!"I mean, I guess its better to be safe than sorry right? What if I loose my chance with Jason because of one simple mistake? And no one better to teach me how to date than Lauren. "Queen or Relationships" is what she calls herself.
"YES! You've made a good choice my friend. Training starts today at 5." She claps her hands together.
Rolling my eyes I laugh "Can we please have breakfast first though?"
She bites her lip "Yeah..that sounds good" and we both walk lazily into the kitchen
*Time Skip*
The day flies by like wind and 5 o'clock hits so me and Lauren get into her car and she settles behind the wheel. "Uhm.. where are we going again?" I buckle into the seat as Lauren drives off campus. "This is lesson number 1. Now, if your going on a date with someone, where you go and how you act usually depends on the person"
"Okay" I nod, Kind of understanding what she's saying.
"So, what's Jason like?" She pulls up to a stop sign.
"Well we haven't really hung out much but from what I've seen and heard, he's a really nice guy" I look at my shoes and picture him "He's really cute and sweet. The poor guy wouldn't hurt a fly."
"Ew. Stop. Too lovey dovey." She shakes her head "Okay so do you know where you guys are going tomorrow?"
Come to think of it..no. I didn't know anything about the date. All I knew was his number and that he be at my house by 1.
"You're such a sad case." Lauren sighs
"I'm right here! Shit"
"I'm sorry" she laughs "Anyway since you don't know, today we'll just practice with ice cream. Where is it again?"
"Just take a left here" I said and I sat there for 3 minutes. Doing nothing.
Bored, I took my phone out of my pocket and scrolled through Instagram. I don't usually use it, only when I'm on the road really. But this time, as I'm scrolling fairly fast, I stop and scroll up a little noticing I passed a familiar face. Ace Parker. I move back to the photo
The caption says "When your hungover and hungry as shit but you gotta keep your cool #niceguy"
Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image.
I smile widely at the photo.
His brown eyes and brown hair go together perfectly with his jawline. It compliments his body perfectly. He's able to wear anything and looks stunning. How was it possible you ask? I had no idea, trust me.
What am I saying? Here I was coo-ing over Ace when I'm going on a date with someone tomorrow. For Christ sake I'm training for the date! I laugh at now stupid I was being.
"You've been silent for a while..what has you laughing" that reminded me of Ace and my thoughts take me away again. Come on Cas, get him out of your head!
"Earth to Cassedy? Heloooo?" "Oh sorry. Yeah it's no one" I look back at my phone
"WHO'S THAT? OH MY GOD THAT'S ACE ISN'T IT? YOU'RE STALKING HIM NOW??" She squeals looking over to my phone "CAN'T FORGET THAT FACE CAN YOU?" She sighs smiling widely, still looking at my phone
"Can you keep your eyes on the road please?" I laugh "And no I'm not stalking him. His photo was just on my feed" i say content with my answer.
"So?" She says "So what?" "So? Would you date him?" An evil smile creeps on her face
"What?" My head snaps to her
"Oh come on Cassedy. We do this all the time. Don't act like its new just because you had some interaction with him" She's right. Ever since we were little me and Lauren used to ask each other "would you go out with him?" To random people. It was like a game. Not to see who could get guys, but to see who we'd pick out.
I try to resist her comment "Yeah but--"
"Doesn't matter!" She cuts me off pulling into the large parking lot of an ice cream parlor "We're here! Time for training to begin"
