At The First Glance

8

Ethan got home and took a shower.  As the time was getting closer and closer Ethan became more nervous and nervous.  What if I fuck it all up?  But then he remember Mileena and that guy Willard is going to be watching, so he shouldn’t have to be worried.  At the same time he thought they are going to make fun of him is he does fuck up.  Ethan tried his best to put those thoughts away because he hoped this will work out.  Eh finally got out the shower and put on the clothes his two friends had picked out for him.  It was similar to what he wore at the night of the party.  He now was wearing light blue fitted jeans, a loose but tight black v-neck, that one black leather jacket with his regular black vans.  Ethan thought to himself that he should wear more clothes like this, after all he did look good in them.  For the time to pass he just sat on his couch with his mom to watch TV with her.  His mother had asked him why was he dressed up differently and she said it looked nice on him.  He told her that he was going on a blind date.  His mom was greatly happy for her son to be going on a date, finally.  Telling him that he had to tell her all about it later for she could tell his father of the surprise.
…
It was nearly 7 and Ethan walk into the restaurant.  It wasn’t too fancy, but the diner was dimmed a little with reddish brown booths and wooden tables scrambled in the area, everything was evenly spaced out, making it not too cramped.   As he walked in he went to seek for Mileena, since she set up the whole thing.  He walked to the bar and asked for Mileena.  The the person behind the bar looked at me and smile and then she said hold on for a bit.  A few minutes later Mileena comes running up to Ethan and punches him.  Ethan yelped in fake pain.
“Oh shut up...dude okay I talked to Willard and he said that his girlfriend is going to drop her friend off and that she will pick her up later, like couple of hours later”.
“Oh, okay.”  Ethan said normally.
“Yeah she’ll be here soon so I’ll show where you guys will be sitting at”  She said as she pulled Ethan’s arm and walked kind of fast to his spot.  The spot was all set by a window.  She hoped that it wouldn’t be too cold since it was mid. Fall.  At least they able to view the outside as the trees were changing colors and leaves flowing with the wind.  Ethan was glad she had picked this spot out since nature usually helps him calm down.  Even Though the view wasn’t all nature because of the empty sidewalks, but it was still nice.  Ethan took a seat as Mileena told him that she will send his date this way when she gets here. 
Time has past and his date was not there.  7:45.  Mileena came through and said Willard he doesn’t know why’s she was late because it was a legit plan that she will make it.  At that moment Ethan start to tore himself up.  Asking himself depressing thoughts.  Did I do something wrong?  Willard then came walking towards the table were the two friends were just sitting there in quiet.  Behind him was a 5’4 girl.  She wore dark black jeans that hugged her legs nicely, a plain maroon color V low cut blouse that hang on her shoulders and had his droop down to her mid arms.  She had long lushes dirty blonde curly hair that came down her mid stomach.  Once Ethan saw her his face lit up.  She was one of the most beautiful girl he ever seen.  She looked really shy and nervous.  Ethan quickly rises from his seat to greet her, but he got stuck.
“Sorry I’m late…”  She spoke.  Now Ethan fell more for her because she had a sweet angelic voice. 
“This is Carmen and Carmen this is Ethan.”  Willard said then continued.  “You guys get settle and Mileena will come back to start you guys off”.  He went over to a open mouth Mileena and pulled her.  Ethan had totally forgot that she was there, but didn’t pay much mind to it afterward.  As the other two were heading to the back Ethan pushed Carmen’s seat in then went to seat himself.  At first things were quiet and awkward then Ethan decided to become a brave man and try starting a conversation.
“So...um...you look really nice, Carmen.”  He forced out as his face got bright red.  Carmen giggled.  Then Ethan’s face got even more red.
“Well you don’t look so bad yourself.”
