Was It Really Meant To Be?

19 Blast From the Past

Dustin's POV

My palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on my sweater already, mom's spaghetti, I'm nervous.

I am about to go on my first date.

I Peggy Dustin Grayson jr. have a date with Isabella Martinez-Rodriguez.

I am in the car on my way to her house in complete silence with my brother and his girl in the car. At every red light Chris practically eats his girlfriend's face. He drops her off at her house, but not before they made out for what feels like forever.

When get to Isabella's house I run out the car and knock on the door. Her mother opens the door.

"Hello Mrs Martinez-Rodriguez, I am here for Isabella"

"Are you the dusty boy who date my bella?" She has a really really really thick Spanish accent.

"Yup" I am one dusty boy

"No kissy kissy with bella or I cut your toung out and hang it to my wall" she says as Isabella walks out from behinds her. She looked beautiful.

She was wearing a pink dress that barley reached her knees. Her long hair was curled so perfectly. Her lips were shiny and so unbelievably kissable. She smelled like a field of flowers.

"Hi cutie, you look good" she says in her perfect voice

"I smell! No I mean you smell! You smell nice I mean like really nice like pretty stuff" I panic, she looks so perfect. I probably look like an idiot. She just laughs.

"Your adorable, lets go" she. Grabs my hand and pulls me to the car. As she is pulling me away Mrs Martinez-Rodriguez yells "Dusty child bring Bella back before 10:30 or I kill your first born child"

We get to the car and I help Isabella into the car and I sit next to her. "Dustin, how the hell dose a guy like you get a girl like her?" I turn red and Isabella laughs her perfect laugh at my brother's comment. The rest of the car ride was just me asking Isabella how her day was and telling her how pretty she looks. When the car stops I see that we are at Olive Garden. Casual and fancy food. nice. I open the door for Isabella and walk with her inside.

"Name?" the lady at the desk asks while looking at a piece of paper. "Dustin Grayson" I say confedently

"Not on the list" she says.

"That's impossible my sister made reservations before i left"

"Sorry kid there is no Dustin on my list"

"Can I see the list" I ask. She shows me the list. She was right there was no Dustin Grayson, but there was a 'Valerie's Annoying Dusty Brother'. I point at it.

"That's me" I say. The lady looks to see where I am pointing. She looks at the clip board then back at me then brakes out laughing so loude the whole restetant goes quiet and stairs at us.

"ITS FUNNY BECAUSE YOUR NANE IS DUSTIN..... AND YOUR DUSTY" she says in between laughs. I look at Isabella and see she is holding back a laugh. This is so embarrassing I'm gonna kill Valerie for this.

After the lady stops laughing she leads me and Isabella to our table. Its a small round table in the back with a single candle and one plate of pasta. Two forks and 2 cups of water with ice. Neither of us were eating. We just sat there drinking water in slience. The whole time Isabella was just starting at me and smiling with her perfect smile.

"So Isabella I-" before I could finish what I was saying I was intrupted by a pair of lips crashing angst mine. OH MY GOD THID IS MY FIRST KISS!!!! THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER!!!!!!!

******************************

I don't really remember the rest of the date. I remember dropping off Isabella at her house and her giving me a goodbye kiss before she left. I remember Chris picking up his girlfriend. And I remember nothing else about that night just that it is and always will be the greatest most amazing night of my life
