Let Us Learn How To Love Together

First Date

Ryan’s POV~

It’s already Friday, so it’s officially been four days since me and Levi started going out. This morning was rough, it took alot of convincing to allow my mother to let me to go somewhere after school. I’m casually skipping gym… again. I’m sitting in one of the bathrooms, reading things online. The bell rang, I gathered my things and headed out to the park across the street from the high school. I sat at the bench we agreed upon and waited. You see, Levi decided that he wanted to take me out on a date, I have no idea where we are going, or what we are doing, but I’m excited. I trust that he won’t force me into anything, heck, I legitimently trust him, which is a first. I haven’t trusted anyone for as long as I remember… I hope that I’m putting my trust in the right hands. I wonder where we’re are going though… I hope it’s somewhere with food, even a convenient store will do. Oh wait… I don’t have any money… This is a date though, he should deffenitly pay. I rub my stomach and nod my head agreeing with my thoughts. I hear laughing next to me and I practically jump off of the bench. I glare at the culprit and realize that it’s Levi. I sit back on the bench and pout while crossing my arms. He laughs again and pulls me into a hug which I in turn hug him back. Curse these feelings!

“Where do you want to go today?”

I grumble.

“I don’t know, you pick… this was your idea anyway… just somewhere with food.”

He laughs once more at me and I try to pull a sad face, but I crack a smile. FEELINGS GO AWAY… I’m now officially going crazy, I’m screaming at myself… What the hell!

“I was thinking of going to Olive Garden.”

He can’t be serious. I look up at him and see that he is in fact, serious. My mouth is hanging wide open, smirking, he closes it with his hand. I pull away from him and give him my best ‘Are you serious’ face.

“Are you being serious? I have never been there, in all my life… Isn’t it like… Expensive? Are their bread sticks any good? Wait, don’t answer, I want to find out myself… But are you sure?”

He smile and nods and I hug him.

“Alright, lets get going.”

He gets up and helps me to my feet. We walk to his car which was behind the school. Once in he turns on the heat and radio and starts driving. We make small talk but not to much, due to him needing to focus on driving. He pulls up into the parking lot and we pile out. I hug my jacket close to me, I forgot how cold it is out here. He walks up beside me, wraping his arms around my shoulder and pulling me close to him. Right before we walk in he lets go of me and opens the door.

“Ladies first”

I give him my best murderous glare, which is like a puppy bearing his teeth, but hey, I tried. We get a booth in an isolated corner and I scoot in, him sitting across from me. I kind of wish he would’ve sat next to me, but it’s fine. I take in the smell of the establishment. The aromas all smell fantastic. I smile to myself and look around. There’s not that many people here but I’m not complaining. We order our food, Levi orders the Chicken Marsala, I just order a simple Lasagna. While we wait for our food I awkwardly look around. I haven’t been in a resturant in so long. Last time I was in a resturant it was when my mothers ex boyfriend, Jerald, tried buttering her up when I told her what he did to me. Of course she was ok with it. I shake my head, I can’t think about that right now. I look up to see Levi resting his head in his hand, stareing at me with a smile on his face. I blush and hide my face in my hands. I’m turning into such a girl.

“So… Lasagna”

I look up at him and laugh.

“Really, Lasagna? You are unbeleivable”
