Is he the one?

Chapter 5. The First Date

Quick A/N- I have decided to change Lizzie's back story a bit. So she is still Jonah's sister and all that but she is now from England because her  mum moved there after the divorce and her best friends - Fern and Emily - had moved to America a few months prior. Anyways, carry on.

Lizzie's POV

I sat on the sofa as Daniel came and sat quite close next to me.

"Um, why did you say that you couldn't come but then you came anyway?" he asks. So that is what Jonah texted him

"Well, it's not even my fault. So when I was getting ready I asked Jonah if he could give me a lift to a friends house and he said yeah, but then when I asked him to take me here he yelled at me and locked the door and refused to take me, he also stole my phone and texted you something." I replied getting a bit upset that my own brother would want to keep me from making new friends. Daniel, on the other hand, just sat there. He looked as if he just blanked out. He then stopped and I got confused but thankfully he decided to change the subject.

"Hey, do you want a drink?" he asked nervously.

"Yeah sure, that would be great thanks, just a cup of water please." I reply quickly as I whip out my phone and start to text Emily.

L - Omg I just got to his house and I'm so nervous what do I do???    (Luckily she replies quickly)

E - Don't worry. you'll be fine just act natural

L - He's coming back now gtg

"Here is your water." he says handing me my glass before sitting next to me.

"Thank you," I say taking the water. "what do you want to do?"

"Well, I booked something at the spectrum but it doesn't start until half three, so we have about 3/4 of an hour until we need to leave." he answers turning on the TV and heading to Nexflix. "Riverdale?" he asks, putting on the latest episode. I laugh a little as the show starts.

After about ten minutes he tries a little thing with me.

"Hey Lizzie." he turns to face me and moves a little bit nearer. "Wanna know the difference between this and this..." as he says this he taps the outside of my shoulder and then the crook of my neck. "It's about this and this." he laughs as he taps the other side of my neck and then my other shoulder.

(If you didn't get it, it's one of those tricks so that he can put his arm around my shoulders.)

I giggled and blushed a little when I noticed him looking at me. I turned my head to se those gorgeous blue eyes looking right back into mine.

"You are just so beautiful." he said like he was astounded. I turned even more red as I tried a smooth reply.

"Not too bad yourself." I said laughing as I turned back to the TV and snuggled into him.

- After the episode -

"Well its 3:15 so we should probably get going." he said a bit sad but also excited as he got off the sofa and too both our glasses into the kitchen. I looked down to see Muffin sleeping in my lap, he joined us halfway through, and picked him up gently and put him on another part of the sofa. Daniel came back in and grabbed my hands so that he could pull me off of the sofa. "Come on we need to go." he said whilst taking me outside and unlocked his car.

- Another time skip - At the spectrum - 

We arrived at the spectrum which is like a massive sports place which had stuff like a gym, bowling, swimming, ice skating, dance rooms, tennis courts and best of all, it had a costa coffee. We walked towards the booth of receptionists. Daniel said his name and was handed two tickets but I could not make out what it said on either of them.

"Ooh what are we doing?" I ask curiously.

"It's a surprise." he says, winking and grinning.

He guides me towards the lifts, which thankfully has a mirror in it, and we get in. I start fixing my hair as Daniel just stares and laughs. "What you laughing at weirdo?" I say jokily

"It's the shape that your face makes when you were fixing your hair." he answers, imitating my face after he's finished talking.

"You better not be taking me swimming." I mention as I walk back to him, finished with my hair. He smiles and subtly glides his hand against mine. I take the hint and softly grab his hand and slowly intertwine our fingers as the lift door slides open.

The dull, grey doors part to reveal a large window looking down twenty feet at an ice rink with many skaters on top, dancing and just skating over the ice. I stare for a minute, before I feel my hand being tugged by Daniel as he tries to get me to go downstairs. Walking towards the skate rental place I get reminded that I cannot save my life by ice skating. 

Like at all.

My thoughts were interrupted by Daniel asking me what shoe size I was.

"Um, six and a half." I say as I remove my footwear and was given a pair of ice skates as a trade. We tie up our laces and walk over to the edge of the rink, this is the part where Daniel hops flawlessly onto the rink and does a perfect 360 spin while I stare at him in bewilderment.

Let me tell you, I am crap at ice skating. 

I got on the ice, very slowly may I add, and almost fell over being on the rink for less that a minute. I stumbled but Daniel was there to catch me before I fell on my face. He held onto my hands tightly, no sign of him ever letting go, as he began to skate backwards, guiding me along with him.

As we carry on I get somewhat better but I still have to hold on to Daniel tight, which I can see him smiling about. He might've planned this, him taking me ice skating, somehow knowing how crap I am at it, so that I would have no choice but to cling onto him for an hour and a half.

Sadly, out time ran out, after what seemed like 30 minutes, and we got into Daniels car as he slowly drove me home.

A/N - Hey, thanks for reading this chapter where they get to go on their first date! Is it too early to be shipping #Dizzy? BTW over 1100 words!

Anyways, I'll update on Monday (tomorrow) in which something interesting may or may not happen (*wink*) and see ya BYEE.
