Distance Between (Connor Franta fanfic)

All In One Night

Anthony ;):

cant wait to see u beautiful!

Me:

yeah c u in a bit!

One hour. Just one more hour until my first date with Anthony. The more I think about it, I think this could work. He is really sweet, and handsome. How could I turn him down? I'm just surprised he asked me out. Not that no one has ever asked me out, just that I didn't expect something like this to come. I'm still not too sure what I'll do whenever I have to tell him I'm just here for a little vacation. It'll just depend on how the date goes, I guess. I've been imagining the whole thing in my head. I have to play hard to get, it's the only way. And I don't want to take anything too fast, that's my number one concern.

We're just going out to the movies so I decide to wear something comfortable. A grey sweater and black shorts will do. I pair it with my white converse and maroon beanie. I'm applying eyeliner in the bathroom when I hear a knock on the door, "Knock knock knock, it's 7:00 shouldn't you be on your way somewhere?" I think Jenn is more excited about this date than I am.

"Chill. Boys are always late. I'm just putting my make-up on."

She looks at me like I'm stupid,"Have you seen the boy? I don't think he would come late. He looked like he was really into you if you ask me."

"No one asked you. Let's just go."

15 minutes later we're at the parking lot of the theater. Anthony and i decided it would be better to just meet up here instead."Bye have fun!" Jenn tells me as I step out of the car,

"I will." I tell her.

"Seriously, tell me how everything goes."

"I will." I repeat.

"Oh! And be back by midnight."

"Don't worry." And finally she takes off. I seriously think she's a mom sometimes. I spot a bench beside the ticket booth area and text Anthony as I take a seat

Are u here yet?

Anthony ;) :

15 min!

At this point my heart starts to beat a little. You have to calm down, I tell myself.

15 minutes past but I'm still just sitting here but I decided not to text back. I'll sound to desperate and impatient. I get up to use the restroom, then sit at the bench and wait some more. But one hour later I decided to just text him

Me:

Are you close?

After 10 more minutes I realize he's not going to reply. I got stood up. He stood me up. What a dick. I can't believe this, I shoud've known it didn't mean anything. I got caught up with the excitement and Jenn and the fact that I actually got asked out. I never realized what he was really doing. Just tricking an innocent girl.

I feel my phone buzzing and see Connor's name on the screen. Why would he want to call me at this time? I pick up. "Hello?"

"Hey I know it's kinda late but I was hoping if you want to do something? If you having nothing to do, of course." Well I certainty didn't expect that.

"Sure, I'm not busy at all." What did I just say? I feel like a whore going on one date to another, if you even count this as a date.

"That's good! Can I pick you up at Jenn's house in.. half an hour?"

"Ok that's per- actually I'm at the movies. Can you pick me up from there? Like.. now?"

"Why?"

"Just please?"
