Nicole, a normal high school girl, bumps into her friend after years not meeting him. Hugh and Nicole hangout; after a while, Hugh thinks they may just be more than friends...
Thanks so much to @inspiringhearts for making my cover for "Nobody gotta...
After days from my big adventure, I have had enough. I mean Hugh has got to know sooner or later. Life's to short to not take risks...when did I become so emotional?! Woah! Anyways, Hugh wanted to meet up with me one of the days. I told him, "How about today?". He said totally. I'm freaking out! Besides that, Mum said I have to create her bake sale posters however, I can't tell her that I won't be able to do that due to my so called "date". What should I do? I mean I can't deny my mum...she's my mum! And I can't deny my Hugh...I mean Hugh. He's not mine...yet. Hehe. So I call Katie and this is our conversation. (Katie: Bold Me: Normal) Hey! What's up girl! Nothing much, Katie. Actually that was a lie! I need advice! Well, fill me with the gossip! Not gossip! Advice! Can you hear me? Yeah! I can! And calm down. Sorry, I'm just freaking out! Tell me...what is going on? Well, my mum is having this huge bake sale and she wants me to do a few jobs for her. One of them is to make posters for her and put them around the block. I promised her I would do it today. As my normal self, I woke up in the morning forgetting everything I had scheduled because Hugh was texting. He said he wants to hangout again soon. I said sure why not today? And he said yes! Problem is- You haven't told your Mum that you met Hugh and you really want to see him but you have to do a favor for your Mum. Well you are lucky to have a bestie like me 'cause I've been there and done that! Just go out with Hugh. Tell your Mum that you have a study project with Marie. Then she'll totally let you out! Thanks so much, Katie! True life saver! Better get going! Don't wanna keep Hugh waiting! Ok girl! Good luck! Bye! Thanks again! Bye!
I guess I'm going for Hugh. I walk downstairs and approach my Mum with anxiousness bubbling inside me. " Mum, I'm really sorry. I will have to postpone the date that I shall make your posters. Maybe tomorrow? I have a study project with Marie that is due on Sunday. We would've done it sooner but Marie is very busy as she is moving. " I say. I think I'm dead as my Mum looks up from the bowl of chocolate chip cookie batter and gives me a straight face. " Sorry hon! I take time these days to process information. Should I go to Dr. Nikita? Sorry, what were you saying? Ah, yes! It's ok hon! I understand. When will you be back? " she says. " Probably after dinner, 9:30. Her Mum made pizza. " I reply. " Ok that is fine. Go now and get ready! " she says as she turns to get the wax paper.
I walk upstairs to change and I jump as my phone buzzes with a text from Hugh. It says, " Pick you up at 12:00 sharp. I'll text you when I'm outside your door. Love ya. ". I start to freak out (not to loud; mum should not hear me)! He said "Love ya."! Oh my god! Does he like me? Please confess, Hugh! Please, please, please!!! I change into:

Pretty cute, eh? I send the picture to Katie and she says "You are going to do great!". She really encourages me! 12:00 approaches really slowly. Like a sloth. I then realize: how am I going to get out the door before Mum can't see me? She would be totally suspicious if she saw me dressed up like that but for a study project. I have no time to think as my phone buzzes with a message from Hugh saying, "I'm out the door. In my car. Come out, beautiful.". Cheesy, but cute! So I creep downstairs, and I slowly walk to the door and before opening it I say, " Mum, I've got to go now! Bye! ". " Honey, let me see you before you go! ". I hear footsteps from our the kitchen stop as I say, " Mum I need to hurry! I'll see you later! Bye! ". I open the door before she can say anything else.
I gap at the view in front of me. Hugh is standing next to the door of the front passenger seat to an amazing car. It is a black BMW! Convertible! Oh my god! " Hey pretty! " he says. " Hey Hugh! Nice car! " I reply. " Thanks! " he says and he opens the door to the car. I walk in and the inside is amazing. The seating is covered with tan leather and is sooo shiny! " So where are we going? " I ask. " Um...I don't know. Just kidding! We are going to have the second best day of your life. I know the first one was when you met me a few days ago. But before I tell you...awkward moment...do you consider this as a date? " he says. " Wow! Umm...yes. Do you? " I say. " Ya...I guess. Sorry, I'm nervous. " he says. Because he had comforted me before, it was my turn. " It's ok. I am as well. " I say as I kiss him on the cheek. He starts the car and we drive off.
" We are going to be going to a really nice lunch place. It's fancy but casual. And I'm paying. " he says. " Ok, I won't argue. ". We both laugh. " After Lunch, we will do anything you want to do. But a 5:45 when the sun is about to set, we shall go to the Pim Park. The Circle Lake is really pretty and they have a really good view of the sunset. " he says. I immediately think that when we go to the park would be the best time to tell him that I like him.
So we reach the restaurant, and we get a table. Out waitress's name is Belle and she gives us the menu before she says, " I'll be back in 5 minutes to take your order. ". " What do you want, darling? " Hugh asks. " I would like...chicken tenders please. What are you having? ". " I'm having the Spaghetti. Excuse me? ". The waitress comes back to the table and we give her our order. " It'll take 20 minutes. " she says. " So, is it fine to call you babe? " Hugh asks. " Well, I shall answer with a question...are we official? " I say. " Of course! So it's fine? ". " Totally! " I reply. Then we talk about random topics before our food arrives. We eat a few bites and then share our food. Then Hugh feeds me his Spaghetti. It's like Lady and the Tramp! But...we didn't kiss. The noodle broke. Darn you noodle!
We leave after Hugh pays the bill (as I promised, I don't pay) and we start to walk down the street. My hand somehow finds its way to Hugh's hand. We held hands, looked at each other and smile. I put my head on his shoulder for a moment. We keep on walking when I say, " Do you want to take a walk on the beach? Like the old times? " I say. " Why would I never say no? " he says as we walk towards the beach. For some reason, the beach is not crowded at all. We walk down to the shore and play in the sand. That may seem childish, but not really. We spend most of our day there. It was time to leave and go to the Pim Park. Hugh said it was 15 minutes away and it was 5:30. He is a very organized boy.
I guess it's time...
Hey guys! Did you enjoy that? Sorry, i have to put this date into chapters since I really want to enter this into The Wattys but I don't have time.
