Ch:20-The truly perfect date ruined!

Everything had to be perfect! All my efforts for this would go in vain if even a thing messes up, and I won't allow that. I wanted it to be great! After this date, Leah should never regret her decision for agreeing to go out with me! I wanted her to have the best night of her life, a night which she would've never even dream't to have with a guy before! I wanted it to be cliché but still not cliché, mainstream but not fully mainstream, In other words, unique!

Crazy right? Mum was shocked to hear me talk such bullshit and Gemma? Gemma herself said that I wasn't listening to myself! But that's the thing, I was perfectly aware of what I was talking about. And when I told Gemma about it, she just smiled and asked, "So when do you want to start?"

My plans were really great, not to forget expensive too, but at that moment nothing mattered to me at all. Only the thing that mattered was seeing Leah smile after our date was over!

I hoped and just hoped that some catastrophic thing won't spoil my whole dinner date but there was this feeling in me that something bad will happen, something which would ruin my plans! I've had a feeling like this before too, but it never turned out to be true. So I did what I thought right at the moment and ignored it.

But as I stood before Leah's house, leaning against my car and waited for her to come out I coudn't help but feel that something was going to go wrong. 

Leah came out of her house and she looked like someone I never imagined her to be. And as this thought crossed my mind, I was instantly reminded of a memory in which Leah, was dancing with her friends, drinking and the clothes she wore, well, if that day wouldn't exist I wouldn't be here today, to see that her beauty was something much more than her being fit. And if I miss out on something like that, I would be damned.

Leah, most of the time dressed in polka dots, I guessed that was her thing but today, she came out of her all-time shell and wore clothes of different kind. She wore a white colour knee length dress with a belt in the middle which had a bow on it. She looked absolutely stunning. She changed her hair style too, I think she curled it from down. And it seemed as if she had no make-up on other than her mascara which suited the black bow on her dress.

"So, Ready?" She asked as she stepped close to me, her left hand playing with the end of her dress.

"Um, Wow..Y.. Yes." I stuttered. I opened the door of my car so that she could get in. She smiled at me and got it. I rounded the car and got in the drivers seat. Awkwardly, I pulled out of Leah's Front yard and started driving to my destination - the restaurant we were going to.

Leah was now not playing with the end of her dress, instead she found her bracelet much more interesting. She looked out of the window sometimes and sometimes also in my direction, I kept looking straight, but yet my corner of my eyes were watching her antics. As seconds passed, it made me feel more awkward than I already was. If this was my state in the car, I just coudn't imagine what it would be like in the restaurant.

With five minutes of my precious time with Leah gone to waste, I was sure that if I won't talk to her now, the only thing we'd talk about in the whole date would be discussing what we'd like to eat. Or a small argument for who pays the bill, I obviously wasn't going to let her pay the bill. But now-a-days arguing about the 'bill thing' is done as formality.
