Will: 'Wear yoga pants, but bring a change of clothes for food' I frowned,
Mia: 'Yoga?!' I groaned and watched for his reply,
Will: 'Just trust me ;) x'

My stomach tightened and I locked my phone. Do I put make up on if he wants to work out? Why does he want to work out?! I went for a little bit of concealer and some mascara just to look presentable. I stepped in to my grey gym pants, at least if I hated it, they made my butt look good. I quickly folded and packed some black skinny jeans and a loose, V neck white blouse. I tied my hair in a braid quickly and heard a car pull up just outside. It's him! I ran out of the room and padded down the stairs, slipping on my black Nike trainers at the bottom and making sure I had a pair of flats packed for afterwards. I scrawl, 'see you later, out. Mia x' on the back of an unopened letter and leave it out for dad to see when he got home.
I opened the door and saw a grey Focus at the bottom of the garden, he was stood outside of it, leaning against it. While he was looking down the street I took the time to admire his body. It made my insides flip and vibrate just from looking at him. By the time I reached him, he had opened my door. I smiled gratefully as I climbed in.
"Hey" Will smiled as he got in his side,
"Hi" I replied. How drunk was I yesterday?! How did I talk to this guy and strip off in to my underwear in front of him and then kiss him?!
"ready?" he asked, his excitement practically making him buzz in his seat. I nodded nervously,
"For what?" I tried to sound eager, but I was so damn nervous.
"you'll see" he grins, pulling away from my house.

I look up at the tall wall in front of me and consider running, he's too hot for me anyway. I shake my head slowly,
"I can't do this, Will" I laugh nervously, he steps in front of me blocking my view of the wall,
"We can try the small ones first?" he nods at the child's rock climbing wall across the hall, I look back at him sheepishly,
"I'll try the big girl one" I mumble,
"You'll love it!" He grabs my hand and leads me over to the instructors. We have all our kit given to us and we go through health and safety. "Don't know which look I prefer" Will winks at me, looking down at my legs. I roll my eyes but feel a blush coming over my face, knowing he's seen me nearly naked, "Ok, get your chalk" he reaches in to his little pouch and rubs his hands together, I copy and catch him smirking,
"am I doing it wrong?" I ask, frowning,
"No" He laughs, "You just look a bit lost" He looks down at my hands, "it's cute". Jesus. "Ok" he breathes, "Get your right foot here, look" he points, "and see if you can get your hand here" he points higher, "and lift yourself, when you've done that, get your left foot here" he points again. I nod slowly and do as he says, "I'll come up next to you" before I know it he's attached to the wall and is up higher than me, "ok so work up, just take it slow". I watch his face, I love how in to this he is. He nods his hair out of his eyes and I do again as he says. He goes up higher, "remember your legs are stronger than your arms" he climbs higher, "just go easy" he looks down at me and I climb up shakily, my body tense, what if I fall? Great first date that would be!
"Will I-" my hand slips, "Will" my voice shakes,
"remember your chalk" he nods, I shake my head,
"But I can't...I-I need to hold on" I feel my heartbeat picking up,
"Just one hand at a time, get your feet comfortable, wait there a sec" he slowly climbed back down and closer to me, I felt his hand slide down my back and hold on to my harness. I was very aware he was very close to my butt, and part of me just wanted him to move his hand further down, "I got you" He said quietly, "One hand at a time".  Feeling him this close and his warm breath hit my neck just made me even more nervous.  I felt breathless.  I shakily took one hand off the rock and reached in to my chalk bag, I returned it and did the same with the second hand, quickly returning it back to the wall, "wasn't so hard, was it?" I could hear the smirk in his voice, "You okay?" he asked, I responded with a nod and bit my lip. He moved his hand away from me and back to hold himself in place, "you first". I let out a small squeak and moved further up, "well done cutie" he smiled. Cutie, agh come here. I climbed up a little bit further and saw him next to me,
"It's not that hard" I trailed off, watching his face change to cheeky,
"You're getting the hang of it" He nodded, I felt myself relax a little and we kept going. I could see that I was holding him back, he was used to this. I, on the other hand, was not, and therefore, very slow with the occasional panic. "Just tell me when you have had enough, okay?"
"we don't have to go all the way to the top?" I asked, relieved. Will laughed,
"Only if you want to, but this might be high enough" He glanced down at the floor, I followed his gaze and saw just how high I was,
"Oh my god" I whisper, "oh my fucking god" I pulled my body close to the wall,
"Okay, let's head down" he tried to disguise his smirk, but it wasn't working. I watched him hold on to his rope and straighten his legs, his feet on the wall,
"You've got to be joking?!" I stared,
"It's not going to drop you" he smiled. Shakily, I copied, and we slowly walked back down the wall which happened to be my favourite part of the experience.
"Oh come here" he laughed, pulling me in to a hug, "you can stop shaking now" he said softly in to my hair before pulling away and looking at my hands, taking them in his to hold them still. "Next time we'll do it properly" he winked, I shook my head,
"Next time?! You're not in charge of our dates any more" I laughed nervously and started unclipping myself,
"You should have had a beginners tutorial, I thought you might have got in to it" He shrugged, I stopped what I was doing and stared at him, "What?" Beginners tutorial?! Hello?!  "A beginners tutorial?!"
"Yeah...my buddy works here so I often come in the back way free and go up and down a few times. Normally you have to sign shit and climb the baby wall" he can see I haven't moved, "I'm really sorry, our next date will be good, I promise"
"what makes you think I want a next date with you?" I tease, "It was okay, maybe if we come again I'll be a bit more...relaxed" I tried to convince myself as well as him. His eyes lit up at the sound of coming here again. Great.

"So, were you feeling rough this morning?" Will asked, smirking.
"only a little bit of a poorly head" I blushed, "There was a mound of sand on my bedroom floor" I giggled. His thumb brushed gently over my knuckles. We were walking hand in hand back to his car, bellies full of food. He smiled and opened my door for me, I felt giddy and climbed in, watching him walk around the front and in to his side. It was just starting to get dark and the bright red sun was shining in our faces,
"Do you want to come and watch a movie or something?" His eyes search mine, I nod,
"Don't want me to leave?" I ask sweetly, he smiles his heart-stopper smile and shrugs,
"Well, I thought you'd be dying to spend more time with me so" he pulled away from the car park space and out on to the main road.

"So uh, this is me" he opens the front door to his apartment and let's me in first. I look around, taking it all in. It's nice. Small, and a little messy. But it made a smile form on my face. There were a few dishes that could do with washing up and it could probably do with a hoover and someone to walk around with a bin bag, but it wasn't too bad "I didn't think you'd be coming back here" he laughed nervously,
"Don't be silly" I smiled, "It's fine, it's nice" he raised an eyebrow, "shows you're normal somewhere inside" I wink and head to the slouchy leather sofa, collapsing down on it,
"make yourself at home" he laughs, I scramble up, blushing, "no seriously, make yourself at home" he nods, "can I get you a drink? I have..water, or...well, water" he mumbles,
"Water please" I smile. Will brings both glasses and sets them down on the coffee table.

"Next one?" I grin up at him. Just an excuse to stay here longer. Will laughs and gets up, pushing the Hangover Pt II in to the DVD player. We'd barely watched the first one, we'd been talking about ourselves too much. I know he has a younger sister, his first hamsters name and where it's head and body are buried, because they're in separate places after Will tried experimenting on it. I watch the opening scene but from the corner of my eye I can see his eyes are on me. I turn and I'm greeted with his smile. I watch his eyes dart between both of mine, they glance down at my lips and back to my eyes. His smile has faded and he's watching me, waiting? Kiss me. Without realising I lean closer and my eyes close. He gently presses his lips to mine, I stop a whimper escaping my lips. Holy Shit. He places his hand on the side of my face and used the other to pull me close to him. I gripped his shirt pulling him to me. I felt myself lowering back on to the couch, pulling him down on top of me. He let out a groan and ran his tongue along my bottom lip, I opened my mouth in response and felt his tongue slide in, causing him to groan again. I moaned softly against his lips.  I'd never been kissed like this before. His hand found its way to the bottom of my shirt and gently slid it's way up my side. I pulled away breathlessly for air and rested my hand over his to stop it.
"Jesus, Mia" He whispered, resting his forehead against mine,  "what are you doing to me?"
"Sorry" I bite my bottom lip. He frowns and looks at me,
"Why?"
"for that" I blush, "I don't want to ...rush things" I mumble,
"Neither do I, I just get so...lost" he laughs nervously,  "I'm sorry" he kisses the tip of my nose and pulls away, holding my hands to get me to sit up with him,
"Yeah?" I ask shyly, he nods confidently,
"I had a nice time with you today, and yesterday for that matter. It was just nice to be able to kiss you, I've been dying to since last night" I smile and lean forward to kiss him again, he smiles against my lips and I pull away.  He literally can't get any more perfect.
