[ A Day Later ; Their First Date ]

~Patrick's POV

I trembled I was so damned nervous I couldn't stop shaking to save my life. I wonder what I'll be like during the date holy crap that's only three hours away. I sneezed. I pulled my pants on and brushed my wet hair back and went off to look for a shirt.

~Alice's POV

"UGH WHY! WHY DOES MY HAIR CURLER HAVE TO BREAK NOW!" I screamed and collapsed to the floor. I always curled my hair since 6th grade. I sighed. 'There is always room for change.' I got my straightener out and took a deep breathe.

[ One Hour Later ]

~Alice's POV

I stuck out my lower lip and looked at my hair. It but up a fight in the beginning but eased up at the end. It looked surprisingly good. My blue streaks showed and looked swell with my chestnut brown hair. And now what to wear. I strolled into my closet. I knew exactly what to wear.

~Patrick's POV

I redid my tie about fifty times. And adjusted my fedora about seventy. I combed through my hair one last time before practically prying myself away from the mirror. It was only half an hour till I see her. Till our FIRST DATE. Wow I'm such a girl. I went and put on my black and white checkered vans, taking one last glance in the mirror I headed out. The Italian restaurant was fifteen miles away. But I'll make it. And I'll go. I'd travel the world to be with Alice.

~Alice's POV

I stepped into my black pumps and grabbed my black clutch off the shelf. I over looked myself in the mirror. Black was a good color to go with my purple one strap day dress. This is the same one I wore to my cousins wedding reception. I looked at the time. CRAP! I had 15 minutes to get there. Patrick was probably already there. I grabbed my keys and my fetched my phone from the bed and walked out at a fast pace. I absolutely could NOT be late. But I also couldn't break a heel.

~Patricks POV

The hostess took me to the table and I texted Alice and told her that I was here and where the table was. I ordered a peach tea and waited. It was only three minutes later she approached the table in a one strap tight purple dress. Her figure really showed "Wow" I said in a shaky voice "You look stunning, and gorgeous" she smiled and leaned in towards me. I thought she was going to kiss me but she just adjusted my tie. I blushed and watched her set her purse down and take her seat. God she looked gorgeous. Even in this dim lighting the restaurant gave off she still glowed.

~Alice's POV

He wasn't as dressed up as I was. That's my fault though of course we never quite discussed attire. But that's okay his crooked tie and black/blue suit and pinstripe pants he looked rather ... Well ... Sexy. I straightened my dress and smiled. We hadn't said anything. We just stared. I had to break the silence.
"So what are you drinking?"
"Peach tea," He said
"Non-alcoholic?"
"Yeah.. I don't drink that often,"
"Oh..." I stammered.
"That's not holding you back from getting a drink though if you'd like one, haha!"
Ahh his laugh.
"Nah, thoughtful but I'd better not, I have to drive and I don't always like to drink alone" I laughed a little
"Gosh I love your laugh. Wait did I say that out loud?!" He said with a puzzled look.
"Indeed you did, hehe."
"Oh my I'm sorry I don't know when I'm thinking or talking. I'm a mess."
"You're a hot mess at that"
...
We both laughed.
The waitress came and I ordered a cherry Pepsi.
"Pepsi?" He asked after our waitress left.
"Well I'm more of a coke or cream soda girl but whatever."
"Haha, okay."
"So not to be rude but what's up with you and fedoras?"
"No offense taken loads of people ask me that. It's just my style." He blushed a little.
"I like your style."
"So not to be rude but what's up with you and your hair?" He playfully mocked me and then gave me a crooked smile.
"Well through out high school I was kind of know as the 'hipster scene girl' because of my wardrobe and hair and my taste for indie music."
"Wow, that's a lot. Did you like to be known by that name?"
"I didn't mind really. I was being talked about haha." I replied.
"I love the way you look at the world" he smiled.
