Strings Attached

IV

Quinn-

They got into the car and he drove out the parking lot onto the road. The first couple of minutes were silent until Alex spoke up,"I can tell you what street to turn down when we make it there. I don't exactly know my address. I was never able to memorize it."

"Alright then. Um, I know this might be a little quick, and I know I suck at asking these kind of things, but would you wanna go somewhere with me later? I have the day off because of the show."

"Well, you're right about it being a little quick, but yeah, of course. I'd love to go somewhere with you."

Quinn's heart nearly exploded, this really beautiful girl actually said yes to him.

"Oh slow down, you can turn down this street."

Quinn slowed the car down and turned down the street."Okay, which house is yours?"

"Stop right here, it's this one."

He pulled into the driveway and stopped the car. "Alright, so, how does twelve o'clock sound?"

"That's perfect, I just hope I'll have enough time to get ready." She opened the door and climbed out the car.

"Oh wait, let me walk you to your door, it's just something I have to do. In my family I was raised to be a gentleman and respect women."

He climbed out the car and walked with her until they reached the door.

"Well Quinn, I guess I'll be seeing you later." She opened the door, before she walked in Quinn grabbed her hand. She looked a little confused.

"Before you go, can I um, ki-" Alex stopped his words with a kiss.

"If that's what you were asking, yes."

She hugged him goodbye and walked into her house. This can't be happening, How can he already be in love with a girl he just met?

Alex-

Her heart was doing backflips while she walked into her room and jumped onto her bed. She couldn't believe she had the confidence to actually kiss him before he even said anything.

"Alex! Do you have any idea what time it is? How was the concert?" Her mom called from the living room

"It was great actually, they were a lot better than I thought."

"Well that's good, so, who was that guy you were with, and don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about. I saw the whole thing."

"Oh, that was Quinn, he's the singer and guitarist for the band"

"So you're dating a band member, why didn't I know about this? I want to meet him."

"I'm not dating him, mom. He's just one of my friends."

"Okay sure, then explain what that kiss before you walked in the house was. I'm going to meet him. I have an idea, bring him here tomorrow."

"I'm already going somewhere with him tomorrow."

"So you are dating him, I knew it!"

"No, mom, he just asked me on a date, that's it. If there's anything else besides that I'd tell you, okay?"

"Okay, whatever, go get some sleep, it's late and you'll need time in the morning to get ready for your date with this Quinn, guy."

She closed her door and fell on her bed. She was more tired than she thought. Once her face hit the blankets she was out cold.
