RYAN'S POV

I asked her where she wanted to go and she said I could pick her up. I don't know if this is an official "first date" or if we are just hanging out. Should I ask? Just as I was about to text and ask a message comes across my phone, it's Jessica.

Jess: So, is this like.... a date?

Me: I was wondering the same thing ;)

Jess: You're such a dork Taylor!

Me: Ouch Matthews!! Anyways nerd, yes it can be a date.

Jess: Alright. Be here at 7?

Me:  Sure thing cutie!

JESSICA'S POV

I didn't send anything back. What?? I had to get ready. I decided to go with a black mini skirt and a dark red top. Since I didn't know where we were going exactly I still wanted to look good.

I haven't really been on a whole lot of "dates". Especially with an exceptionally hot guy. I'm nervous. It's almost 7:00 and my heart is racing. I easily apply a minimum amount of nude lip gloss for the last touch.

My door bell rings and I walk down the stairs. Unfortunately, Alexa beat me to the door. She can't stop staring at him. I walk up behind her and cough slightly to make her move.

He is in khakis and a black polo shirt with, and of course, his Clark's. He is looking mighty fine if you ask me. My hands are sweating as he asks me if I'm ready to leave and I say yes. "Bye mom, love you." He grabs my hand as we walk out the door.

We pull into Olive Garden and he shoots me a big smile. I love this place. By the look he gave me I'm guessing he does too.

"Hey, bye the way, I wanted  to tell you that you look absolutely breathtaking Jess", Ryan said looking me straight in the eyes, making my heart sink.

"Thank you Ryan. You look pretty good yourself too." I couldn't help but smile. Dang. He's. So. Attractive. I'm going to die tonight.

"Reservation for Taylor please", he says to the hostess. She tells us to follow her, after she gives me a very obnoxious look. She seems like she knows Ryan. She whispers something to him, but I couldn't make out what it was.

He helps me with my chair and we sit down. "I'm glad we are here together Matthews", he says as he pushes me in. You have no idea Ryan. "Me too", I said.
