The Right Swipe

Chapter Six : The Clueless

Kyle

As I pulled my white v-neck over my head I heard a knock at my door. I opened the door to reveal Hunter in a dark blue button up shirt , light jeans and some basic black vans.

"What's up man don't we have another hour before we have to head out ?" I tried to sound casual about it all but I was a bit worried about him being over so early.

I hoped I was at least dressed better than Hunter with my white v-neck , dark jeans and black converse.

"Don't sweat we have time " Hunter replied while pushing his hand threw his hair.

" Looks like you're the one sweating not me " I pointed at his discolored armpits.

Hunter turned to take a look at his underarms and whispered "Fuck ..."

Luckily we were close in size.

"Chill I'll let you borrow a shirt " I handed him one of my black v-necks.

"Thanks man " Hunter grabbed the shirt and changed. " Hey you almost ready to go?"

I was more worried about him being ready instead of me. I wonder why this girl was so special. Either way he was going to owe me after this

" Been ready if you cant tell " I replied to reassure him.

" Whatever man let's head out then we waited long enough "

I gave myself a glance over before heading out. Not bad , I combed my short brown hair to the side.

" Alright my car or yours ?" I tried to fake a smile to seem polite as I asked.

I know there was no way I was taking his car when I have my baby.

" Cut the crap like you would go in my car when you have your 'precious' " Hunter smirked back.

"Look I was just being nice asking. Alright lets got this over with. " I was still smiling from his reply.

We headed toward my car.

My car was special to me because I fixed her up mostly by myself. I was in love with her , she's an all black 2012 Camaro. I even named her as silly as it sounds.

I brought my mind back to the present to focus on driving. The car ride was mostly quiet aside from the radio playing. As we arrived at the apartments , I tried to adjust my shirt before getting to the door. It took me a moment to notice Hunter mumble something to himself.

" Whats wrong with you? You look fine , so why are you standing there instead of ringing the bell?" I was trying to see what was on his mind now , when my phone went off signaling a new notice.

" I forgot flowers man I look like a tool showing up for a date without them!"

"Get your ass in the car we are a bit early so might as well grab the flowers. Look the girls don't know we are here yet so we can make it work."

No way was I going to question him about this. If it was bugging him of course I was going to do what I could to help. Man who knew he was so touchy about this.

"Okay , yeah lets do that." Hunter was in the car before I could even hear his reply.

" It's up to you to pick a place to get flowers from then." I stated as I got into the car.

We ended up pulling into a Walmart and picking a simple bouquet of roses. Hunter went off about how girls love roses and what not . I didn't think it was right if only he got his date flowers, so I got my ' date' flowers as well.

" We might be late if we don't hurry." I said jokingly but Hunter seemed to be taken back remembering the time.

" Thanks for going to get flowers , but lets hurry back" Hunter replied.

" Yeah sure no biggie " I was just looking forward to heading back to get this date started for Hunters sake. I put the flowers in the back before taking off.

I pulled up to the apartment once again , but turned to Hunter before getting out.

"You got everything now ?"

"It's all good now let's go." Hunter replied with a slight air of confidence around him. Hunter grabbed his bouquet of flowers and headed to the door as I followed after him. We decided on ringing the door bell.

There was shouting on the other side of the door and I could make out a few words that were along the lines of 'pizza' and 'here'. The door was pulled open to reveal a semi familiar face.

"You aren't the pizza man"

I just couldn't place how I may know her but her eyes shined with disappointment. The girl before me was about 5'2 with a mix of dark brown to light brown hair and big blue eyes.

Damn, she was cute. I'm sure I don't know her so why does she seem familiar.

"Hello there , I'm Ethan is Jeanette here by chance?" Hunter's words helped me focus on why we were there instead of focusing on the girl who opened the door.

" Hi , it's nice to meet you I'm one of Jeanette's roommates sorry to seem rude I was pretty sure it was the pizza man at the door don't mean to scare you " She replied with amusement. "I'll go get Jeanette for you it will be a moment. Sorry I can't invite you in since your dates might not be ready" I noticed she gave me a questionable look before closing the door on us.

Before either of us could say anything two girls stepped out introducing themselves as our dates apparently my dates name is Bethany.

" Lovely flowers for a lovely young lady" Hunter stated as he handed the flowers to Jeannette. I took his example and handed the flowers in my hand to my date.

" For you" I tried to smile and put some charm into it.

" Thank you! They are just adorable ! We will be right back after placing the flowers into water. " Jeanette turned to Bethany and dragged her into the apartment behind her. Hunter took that moment to give me a look. Not sure what it meant but his faced had a look between happy and confusion.

The door swung open and the girls stepped back out. Jeanette turned and shouted " Thank you Teresa . See you girls later."

I looked up to make eye contact with the girl who first came to the door she was staring at me when the door shut.

Teresa...don't tell me this was the girl from tinder
