Blake's Playbook

Val

Valerie's POV:

A couple hours after I left Blake's house I found myself in bed again wishing that I hadn't drunk so much last night, hopefully I'll feel better before school tomorrow.

I can't help but admire that Blake was such a nice guy, maybe I should give him a chance, I reach my phone to text him

"Hey loser" I text

Thirty minutes later Blake still hasn't replied maybe he's busy?

"Wanna get some dinner around 7?" He texts back

Should I go? I mean I hardly know the guy but he was cool last night so I might as well give him a chance

"Sure I'll meet you outside your house" I text back

God I hope I don't feel like poop after this nap, I roll over and set an alarm on my phone for 5:30pm and then go back to sleep

***
My alarm wakes me up, is it time for school already? I look at my phone and see that it's only 5:30 and I remember that I'm getting something to eat with Blake. I hop out of bed and get in the shower

When I get out the shower and walk back to my room I start searching for an outfit, I decided on a long muscle tee with some leggings and a pair of white converse, I grab a cardigan just in case and my shades because it still seems sunny outside and I don't want to be blinded by the sun. I walk downstairs to the living room and see my mother lying on the couch reading a magazine

"I'm going out with a friend" I say as I kiss her on the cheek

"What friend?" She ask curiously

"The boy next door" I say in a low tone

"Ooo... Are you interested in becoming more than friends" she ask in a joking tone

"Mom!?" I say grossed out by her interest in my love life

"You've always been such a catch with the boys" she says almost proudly

"You make me sound like some type of.... FLAPPER" I say trying to find the appropriate word for slut

"Oh honey" she says laughing

"Besides Blake is......GAY!" I say lying so I can make myself sound better

"Really!?" She says shocked

"Yeah him and uh... That guy you met next to him are together" I say adding Brody to my lie

"I would of never guessed, well have a good time be home before 11pm" she says waving me off

Frick, I can't believe I just said they were gay. As I walked out of my house and waited by Blake's driveway, Blake pulls up on a motorcycle, he's wearing a white t shirt and some dark grey jeans, oh god he looked good!.

"Nice Bike" I say because it was the only thing I could get out of my mouth

"Hop on" he says taking off his helmet and giving it to me

I get on and Blake takes off down the street, I'm glad Blake can't see my face right now because I am smiling like crazy, I enjoy fast speeds and this was amazing, Blake starts to go even faster causing me to jerk back and grip his waist more tightly

Blake pulls up to a lot that has a pizzeria and an arcade next to it, the parking lot is almost deserted so parking is no issue

"So your not planing on murdering me right?" I say hoping off the bike and looking around the almost abandon area

"Well not tonight" Blake says smiling

We walk towards the pizzeria together and when we enter, we are promptly greeted by the sound of heavy metal, I was so not expecting that, Blake places an order for a small pie with bacon and jalapeños, Blake also buys to cans of sprite.

I find a booth near the window, it would of been cooler if there was something to look out too , as I blankly stare out the window, Blake arrives with the pizza, my stomach growls as I soon realize how hungry I am

"Yum" I say taking a slice and promptly biting into it

Blake also starts eating but about 2 slices in, he stops

"Wimp" I say sticking my tongue out

"Let's play a game" he says surprising me

"Sure" I say cautiously

"21 questions?" He says

"Hmmm I don't know I'm pretty boring" I say

"I doubt it" he says smiling

"Okay shoot" I say ready to ask him some questions

"What's your longest relationship?" He ask

"Ugh no fair I thought it was easy questions first" I say frowning

"Come on"

"Fine... Hmm probably about 6 months" I say remembering my past relationships

"Interesting"

"My turn! Um have you ever cheated on someone" I say raising an eyebrow

"I am ashamed to say, yes" he says looking out the window

"I know we said 21 questions but how about we go to the arcade instead" I say trying to change the atmosphere

"Just know that whatever game we play there your gonna get your ass beat" Blake says getting up

We walk next door and into the arcade, when I step inside I see my favorite oldest game, dance dance revolution. I walk over to the machine, I turn back to Blake

"I bet you can't beat me in this" I say pointing to the machine

"I bet you one kiss that I can" Blake says getting closer to me

"And when I win, you have to walk around school tomorrow with a megaphone and say " I'm a bed wetter" throughout the halls" I say staring him in the eyes

"Risky but deal" he says turning to the machine

We start up dance dance revolution and chose some random song, at first it starts off slow but the tempo starts to pick up and of course Blake is great at this, I start to pick up my pace and eventually I decide that it's time to cheat so I look at Blake and when he looks back at me I shoot him a funny face, Blake starts laughing

"You cheater" he shouts while laughing

I continue making funny faces until the game is over and I win! By only 20 points but it's still a victory

"Tommorow is going to be the best day of my life" I say smiling

Blake and I spend another hour in the arcade playing games and finally I decide that it's time to go home

"Come on" I say heading to the door

"I wish this day could go on longer" he says whispering

I give him a little push and then smile

We arrive in front of my house and I suddenly feel sleepy and ready for bed

"This was great we should do this again" I said yawning

"Yeah your pretty fun Val" he says

"So should I bring a megaphone or do you already have one?" I say laughing

"I'll bring one" he says trying not to laugh

I give Blake a quick hug and run inside, I go straight upstairs to my bedroom and put on my pajamas, as I lay down in bed I think about my night with Blake as I slowly begin to drift asleep.
