"Awsten, why are we having a date in a grocery store?" I asked

"It's special to me. I don't take many people here, I wanted you to see it."

"I've been to HEB."

"Aha!" He shouted and jumped around. I was confused as to why he was so excited like he'd found buried treasure, it seemed like he knew this store like the back of his hand.

"What?" I asked.

"This." He shoved a bottle of orange juice in my face.

"Orange juice? That's why we're here?"

"And because it's special! Stop being negative!!"

I sighed. I wanted to enjoy this date because I really liked Awsten. But I was so confused.

"This stuff is the best, and the ice cream here! We can get cookies and can-"

I cut him off.

"ICE CREAM?!" I shouted like a little kid. I ran to get a cart and brought it to the isle we were in.

"Hold it steady" I said to Awsten.

I hopped in the cart and put the orange juice in my lap. I felt like I could be a kid around him and he would take care of me, not caring.

"Okay, Princess. Where shall we go next?"

"Princess?"

"Oh, uh..." He was embarrassed.

"I like it" I leaned out of the cart and kissed his cheek.

He blushed.

We finished our shopping. Getting: ice cream, cookies, whipped cream, M&M's, Snickers, Cosmic Brownies, and of course, Awsten's "legendary" orange juice.

He was so happy about his orange juice, it was cute.

I really like Awsten. He's not like other guys. He's sweet, funny, caring, and he is the cutest lil blue haired boy ever. I sure do hope this lasts.

After we left HEB, we drove around for a while. Just talking. It was so beautiful seeing all the lights at night.

To finish off the night, we went back to Awsten's house, well technically Geoff's house, and watched Netflix and ate all the horrible foods we bought. I would say it's a successful date.

He dropped me off at my house by 9 o'clock.

"I had a good time" Awsten said shyly.

"I did too."

"Hopefully I'll see you soon, since I do live less than 4 minutes away."

"Yeah."

"I'll talk to you later, Jax" Awsten said as he turned to walk back to his car and go home.

"Yeah" I whispered as I turned to walk into my house.

I shut the door and locked it then leaned against it and slid until I was on the ground, smiling and blushing like a 5 year old who's crush just kissed them in the cheek or something. My pitbull named King came running at me all excited and happy I was home and started licking my face.

"Haha, yes, hi King. Who's a good boy?"

My roommate Axl cam running down the hall. Axl is gay and has been my best friend since about 2nd grade when I moved to Houston. He was really eager to hear about mine and Awsten's date.

"So?" He looked at me with his big blue eyes and an anxious expression.

"I like him" I said and bit my lip after.

"You like him?"

"Yeah."

"Jax. This is big. This is the first guy you've liked since 7th grade."

"That was only 3 years ago. Not that long"

"True, but youre 16, and you haven't dated since you were 13. I like that your getting out there again."

"Well you know what happened with dickbag. I needed time to find myself after he ruined me."

The flashbacks started coming back and I guess I started crying because all of the sudden Axl was hugging me tightly.

"I love you Jacky."

Axl calls me Jacky sometimes. I like it. Makes me feel kinda like a kid again.

"I love you too Ax."

"Let's get you out of that dress and into some sweatpants. We are binge watching Riverdale tonight!" Axl said as he pushed me the whole way upstairs.

"We've finished the season like 3 times! Can't we just wait until the second season comes on Netflix?" I whined as I changed into a baggy sweatshirt and some leggings. It may only be August, and still hot, well, humid outside due to monsoon season, but Axl likes the house to be super cold and I like big comfy sweaters, they make me feel little.

We went back downstairs, grabbed 2 big bags of Veggie Straws from the cabinet and a big tub of Rocky Road ice cream and sat on the couch watching Riverdale and talking about my date.

If I didn't say this before. Best night ever.

A/N: Sorry I've had mega writer's block (WRITER'S BLOCK HAS BUILDING BLOCKS AND BUILT THESE WALLS AROUND ME) for a few days and this chapter might be all over the place and probably won't match previous information so I might add a chapter next to explain some of the backstory and confusing living situations. Until then, I don't know how or why, but this book has 31 reads?? I personally think it sucks, but apparently you guys don't. I'll continue writing when I can unless you tell me it sucks❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
