Blind Date

Chapter 4: Room 405

    "Hey Age, I was wondering,would you like to come back to my apartment?"
I gaped at him shocked, I didn't know what to do, and I panicked. I looked anxiously over at Carly,who was sitting with Ryan on the other side of the restaurant. Getting the signal she quickly ran over to us with Ryan by her side.
"Oh I'm sorry Zac, I forgot I have to tell Age something before you two have anymore fun." Carly lied.
"Oh,okay?" Zac answered.
   "So,how was it? Are you in love? Isn't he dreamy? What did you talk about? Do you like him? How was your food?; it looked good. I was really hoping you guys would end up making out. Would you want to make out with him? Aren't I the greatest friend ever? If it weren't for me you two would have never met? omg--" Carly spit out so many questions at me so quickly that I could barely understand her. So the only option I really had left was to interrupt her. I proceeded to tell Carly that Zac had asked me to go back to his apartment,and to this statement she freaked out. She made it seem as though my answer was simple, and I should go, but in the back of my mind something was telling me this wasn't right. Something was telling me that I'm wrong for even thinking that  this would be okay,but mind over matter, and when we walked out of the the bathroom I planned to tell Zac I would go, and that is exactly what I did.
Zac and I said goodbye to carly and ryan and he drove me back to his place. When we got there and I stepped inside I began to look around. Everything was relatively neat but it smelled of cigarette smoke with a hint of beer.
"Hey Age I'm gonna go change real quick be back in a sec."
"Oh okay."
Once he had left I began to explore. His relatively large apartment was all gray in color. He had black leather furniture,and very few things in his place besides the necessities. In the kitchen there was a picture of a beautiful young woman with Zac's arms wrapped around her neck. They both looked so happy. I knew it wasn't his girlfriend or anything so I assumed it was a sister or close friend or something. That was about all he had decoration wise. then before I could venture further into the apartment Zac came out into the living room where he had left me. I quickly scattered over to the living room and out of the kitchen,hoping he wouldn't take note of my snooping, which he didn't. He plopped down on the couch and put his feet up in the table. His arm reached out and spread over the top of the couch. He looked up and invited me to sit with him. I sat down crossed my legs and sat there uncomfortable with the situation I was put in. While I was wishing I could crawl out of my skin Zac began to ask me a question, "Do you want to watch a movie or something?"
"Sure." I replied
He gave me a head nod then looked me up and down. he seemed to notice that I was uncomfortable . He smirked at me with a fire in his eyes, "Do you want to go sit in my room, the tv is bigger there?"
I felt my face get hot, and the redder I got the wider his grin was. I just sat there and stared at him. Every bone in my body was telling me not to go in his room,but there was something about him that comforted me. He stood up and held out his hand waiting for me to grab it. I eventually did,with hesitation though . He led me into his room which was absolutely immaculate. The walls were a dark blue, there was a tall silver lamp in the corner of the room, a large tv mounted to the wall facing the bed and a black,sleek night stand leaned up against another wall. Zac let go of my hand and crawled into his bed. He fixed the pillows so we could lean back without having to lie down. He sat almost identically to the way he sat on the couch. He invited me to sit with him and my heart beat faster then it ever has before. I slowly walked over towards the bed and sat down next to him. as I leaned back I felt his hand on my shoulder. My whole body stiffened up and I was so tense that I could barely move. He took notice, "Hey just relax,it's only me." His voice was raspy and seductive. He made me feel safe and comfortable all of a sudden, though not comfortable enough. I leaned a little further back and repositioned myself into a more comfortable sitting position. He pulled me in and asked what movie I wanted to watch.
"I don't know, why don't you pick?"
"No please, your my guest." he smiled at me out of the side of his mouth. He was pretending to be a gentleman (how cute is that!). We decided to watch "The Longest Ride" and yes I picked it out.
  About half of the way through the movie he reached toward his night stand and opened the drawer. He pulled a cigarette carton out of the drawer and a lighter. I pretended not to notice and anticipated the light of his cigarette. He took one out of the carton and lit the end. He began smoking and I began coughing. I turned toward him and said, "Do you smoke a lot?"
"Yes I do honestly, is that an issue?" he looked at me with a dead serious expression that almost scared me half to death.
"Maybe." I gulped
He gave me one last glance before he turned back to his cigarette. As the movie came to an end I realized why I shouldn't like this guy. Why I need to stop liking this guy. I mean for one he doesn't care about anything and everything he says, and seems sarcastic and rude. Plus he doesn't have any life plans and acts as if life is one big game and we should just let what happens happen. And he smokes, talk about gross. My thoughts were interrupted my a hand brushing the hair from out of my face. Zac's hand held the side of my face and he grazed his thumb over my cheek. He looked me in the eyes and pulled me in close. Before I knew what was happening I...
