I googled Romeez. It resulted to be a very, very, very nice restaurant. It had flowers on each table. It was a bit far from Shawn's house, but I searched for taxis that would drive me a few streets from the restaurant.
After school, I didn't want Shawn to drive me to his house, but the school bus was disgusting. I decided to go running, although the house was 4km from school.
I looked for approximately 30 minutes for something to wear, but I didn't have anything. I asked Aaliyah if she had something, and she took out some boxes from her closet.
I ended up wearing a black dress, a leader jacket and black heels. I put on some makeup: black-greenish eyeshadow, red lip gloss, and a bit of highlighter. I will be honest: I had never looked prettier in my life.
We had changed the plan: we would go to Romeez first, and then we would go to his house to finish the project. I went to the restaurant, and Josh was waiting for me inside. He had made a reservation in the middle of the restaurant, with comfortable chairs.
NEW YORK, ROMEEZ.
JOSH: Wow, so you decided to come and you dressed up like that?
ME: Well, it's no big deal to give you a chance, right?
JOSH: Please, take a seat...(I sat when he moved back my chair)
ME: Thank you.
(There was a big pause while he analyzed me)
JOSH: Oh damn that you look-
ME: Oh, come on, it's just the dress
JOSH: We both know you are_
ME: OK...So, what do we order?
I started looking at the menu and I silently laughed when he wasn't looking at me.
I ordered a salad and he ordered a beef and a mixture of vegetables.
I really can't remember anything of that dinner. The only thing I can remember, is that in one moment he looked at me and said "Josie," and I answered: "Can we leave, please?".
We went to his house, and I wasn't sure of what to say or do. He walked towards me, but he skipped me and grabbed some big papers.
Then we started making the biology project.
I felt like the stupidest person in the world. He was Josh, someone like him was so much more than me. Was it all a lie?
We sat at a table and started finishing some posters. In one moment we were so close, that I just put my hand on his cheek, and kissed him. He pushed me away and looked at me. Oh-oh, big mistake, was what I thought.
I kept on looking at him, and he grabbed my neck and started kissing me.
And then I thought about Shawn.
I had made a mistake.
