Awsten: address??

Me: call.

Awsten called, and I gave him my address because I'm paranoid and I don't like people having actual proof of where I live if I don't know them. Turns out we live less than 3 miles from each other. How have we not met?

I was ready with 10 minutes to spare. I wore my "little black dress" and black Vans (I know, fancy right?) My long black hair was to the side, showing my undercut and straightened, as for makeup, I'm not an artist or anything but I had a nice purple cut crease eyeshadow and deep, blood read lipstick ((Jefree Star- Unicorn Blood). I sat down on the couch and scrolled through Instagram, waiting for my date.

Awsten picked me up at 6 o'clock sharp. The only date I've had who's actually on time. I'm so nervous.

I opened the door and there he was, freshly dyed hair and a nice black button-up shirt on top of dark blue skinny jeans, shirt not tucked in. I guess I was gawking at him because I was pulled out of my thoughts when he said my name.

"Jax?"

"Yeah?"

"You ready?" He said nervously.

"Let me grab my purse" I got my phone and put it in my little black purse that had tassles, and followed him to his car.

On the car ride to the movies, we talked about everything and nothing, it was so nice. Awsten intently listened to everything I had to say, I told him how much I loved cloudy/gloomy weather, he told me how much he loves the word "gloom". I told him my hobbies, he told me about the band that him, Geoff and Otto are trying to start up. I told him about my trust and commitment issues and why I can't trust very many people and I'm afraid of falling in love. He told me his story about Grace and what happened, it wasn't that different from Otto's story, a few things were worded differently but not far off.

When we got to the theater and he was a total gentleman, he opened my door and helped me out of the car, he bought me popcorn and a slushie. We were the first people to our theater, we went to see a rom/com about best friends who are in love but neither of them know how the other feels until they get drunk and confess. It was rediculous but Awsten held my hand the whole time and tightened his grip when he laughed, that made me happy. After the movie Awsten wanted to take me somewhere "special". So as we pulled up to it he had me close my eyes and promise not to peek. When he got me out of the car, we walked a couple feet and he had me open my eyes. He had brought me to HEB, why was this store special to him?

"Well?" He grinned.

"Why is HEB so special to you?" I asked.

"You'll see."

He grabbed my hand and dragged me inside the store.

A/N: okay, this one is longer? I will continue the HEB date in the next part because I feel like it will be long. Also, if any of you live in Texas, I could use some help with like locations and stuff. I'm writing this from someone who lives in Arizona so I don't know much about Texas, which is kinda sad because I've got family there, but I don't talk to them. I know a few things like store names but not what towns they're in.
