All The Love, -P

Dani

Today marks the last day for being grounded, and I am so glad that it's now the last day. Boy, it is so exhausting staying here at the house doing nothing. I am not allowed to have any visitors, well at least they did not confiscate my phone but still! I felt I am about to get rotten in here. Well, maybe not much because I get to practiced my lines for the play. I hope I won't disappoint the audience. Jackson? I don't know what happened to him but he is still himself, cold and moody.

P? He stopped sending letters again and he did not even reply to my messages. Germaine, Tori and I are still on the run for finding P. My hunch keeps telling me also that P could be Patrick.

Oh darn! I almost forgot! Patrick said we will be going out tonight. I didn't even said yes because I was astonished and he took my silence as a yes. Ugh! P already gave me enough head ache, I don't want Patrick adding up to it. Why am I even taking what he said seriously? I am sure he was just pranking me. He can't be asking me to go on a date with him but on contrary he said that he like me but what if it's not true. Gosh! Those boys will be the death of me.

I am not even beautiful like other girls. I am not even the type of girl that is worth chasing for, but why am I in the middle of two guys, wait maybe three, I think I should include Jackson, who will make me live my life shorter for sure.

Okay, so it's 4:30 in the afternoon and Patrick said we will meet at a restaurant by six. Damn! I a nervous on what Patrick has under his sleeves. I am still praying that what we are doing tonight is not a date that couples do but a friendly date instead, but I don't want it to be called a date, rather I want it to be just a simple dinner.

I decided to wear a white sleeveless cutout bodycon dress paired up with black sandals. It didn't even took me much time to decide what to wear, maybe because I know Patrick wouldn't mind.

Oh if it's Jackson it will probably take you a day to decide what to wear.

Damn, mind! Why would I even think that Jackson will take me out on a date, but on second thought, it will truly take me a whole day to decide what to wear, like hello! It's Jackson Lee, who wouldn't want to impress him, and he is known to be one of the most handsome guys in town, so he should be paired up to someone who is beautiful. Having a dinner date with Jackson will be the best night of my life.

Ugh! Snap out of it Dani. Why are you thinking of Jackson? You should focus your mind on Patrick and your dinner with him tonight. Wait, does my parents, Germaine and Tori even know I am having a dinner with Patrick tonight? Oh boy, if they knew I hope they will not make it a big deal.

I decided to leave the house thirty minutes before six, since the restaurant is thirty minutes away from the house. The whole ride to the restaurant is making me nervous and before I knew it we already arrived. Wow, that was the fastest thirty minutes of my life. I stepped out of the car and breathe deeply.

"You can go home now. I'm sure Patrick will give me a ride home." I told the driver. Of course he should go home, he can't wait for us to finish and I am sure he has not eaten any dinner yet.

I watched the car leave before I decided to go inside the restaurant. This is it. There is no turning back. A waitress helped me lead to a private room. Damn! I thought this is going to be a simple dinner, why have it in a private room. I have a bad feeling about this.

"Here is it, ma'am." I smiled at the waitress and left. I let out a deep breath before I open the door.

Darn! I want to go home now.

Standing near a candlelight table is Patrick, wearing a suit and holding a bouquet of flowers. Surprise is an understatement for my reaction now.

"Flowers for you, my lady." I smiled and accepted the flowers. He helped me took a seat which is across him before he took a seat.
