"Hey it's James"
"How did you get my number"
"Let's just say that I have my resources...anyway I wanted to know if you wanted to go out and eat with me tomorrow?"
" Are you asking me out before you even get to know me?"
"I know everything that I need to know, so is that a yes?"
"Depends on where we're going"
"Where ever you want just as long as it won't cost me an arm and a leg"
"ok, then I guess I'll see you in school tomorrow"
" Bye love"
" Bye"
Did he just call me love? What did i just get myself into? I usually don't go out with guys that I didn't know but James is my perfect distraction. I needed to prove to Jess that I don't always push people away.
The next morning I woke up to my phone ringing...it was Jess
"What's this I here about you going out on a date today?"
" Good morning to you too. How do you even know? You know what never mind. A boy asked me out yesterday and I said yes. Is there a problem with me saying yes to a date?"
" Yes there is, I haven't met the guy yet and I need to know if you're going out with a drug attic or a rapist" Typical Jess
" I'm going out with James if that's okay with you?"
"What the hell!! You're going out with him???"
"Yeah, why?"
"He's hot"
"Not that hot"
"What ever, anyway I need to know where you're going and what you're wearing"
"We're going to eat after school and I was going to wear my purple dress with my black wedges"
"Wear your the dark blue one, you look hot in it"
"Okay, thanks fashion police"
"Your welcome" I can practically hear her smiling through the phone
"So, can I go now. I have to get ready for school"
"Fine, I'm picking you up at 7?"
"Yup"
"Okay. bye mmmmuuuuuuaaaaaa"
I hung up the phone and took a shower. I took Jess's advice and wore the blue dress. It showed all my curves and stopped just above my knees. I put on my wedges and jean jacket and grabbed my book bag and walked out the door.
*after school*
I waited outside by the field for James. I only had to wait for 15 minutes before I see his devilish little face pop up in front of me.
"Hey mute" he said with a smirk.
"Is that really the way you wanna start a first date?" I asked, lifting an eyebrow.
"Sorry, hi Carlianne"
"You can call me Carly" I started walking toward where his car was parked.
"So, where are we going?" He asked as he sits down in the drivers seat. "We're going to that café down the street.""Are you serious?" He asked laughing, "I thought you wanted to go to a fancy restaurant or something". I couldn't help but laugh,"I'm not that kind of girl". I said looking at him. He chuckled,"Good"
When we get there, we get a table by the window and sit across from each other.
"By the way, you look great"He said with a cheeky smile. You can tell that he's trying too hard to be nice. "Thanks" I feel my cheeks get warm so I turn my head."You don't have to hide, you're gorgeous"
As we eat our food he asks me questions and we play a few games. It felt like we we're going to be there for days. We finish our food and he drives me home. I had to give him the directions.
"Thank, I had fun tonight" I said getting out the car. James follows me on to my porch.
"Me too mute" He said winking at me.
"I thought I told you to call me Carly", folding my arms across my chest."I thought you didn't have a temper on you" He smirked. We hear a car pull up and we turn.
"Hey James stop smooching and lets go" A guy with bed hair and a lip piercing said. He didn't look sober. The car was full of teenagers looking ready to go to a club.
"Don't rush me" He looked back at me with apologetic eyes."I had fun too. I'll text you later" He gave me a little peck on the cheek and got in his car following the car as it started driving.
I walked in to my house and my mom looked at me actually concerned, "Who was that boy?" she asked giving me the don't-lie-to-me look
"A boy I went out with tonight" giving her a blank stare.
"Mhm, so you go out with rebels now?"
"It was one date calm down. And why do you even care?"These are times where I wish I knew how to keep my mouth shut.
"Don't tell me to calm down. You better learn how to control your little mouth and pick better boys or your room is going to be a jail cell."
I rolled my eyes and walked up to my room. I changed my clothes and jumped into my bed. I grabbed my phone and see that James texted me.
J-Hey, sorry for leaving you like that. I was hoping we could go out again;)
M-Sure but my mom doesn't really have a good impression of you right now
J-It's fine. She'll fall in love with me sooner or later
M-Someone has a big ego
J-You know it love. Good night
M-Good night
I rolled over and closed my eyes falling asleep.
