5. hold my hand; 6. tongue-tied

“Vic, I have a question.”

My brother stops strumming his guitar and looks up at me. “Yeah?”

I bite my lip. I’m not used to asking for help, especially not from him. “Uh…can you help me get ready for my date tonight?”

Vic raises his eyebrows at me. Clearly, he wasn’t expecting this. But then he smiles. “Absolutely.”

What then ensues is about an hour of Vic giving me advice and then helping me when I prove to be the completely inexperienced person that I am. This includes a search for the perfect outfit, a quick course (taught by Vic) in the art of going on a date and not failing horrifically, and me taking a shower for the second time today. (That last part is my idea, simply because I’m feeling self-conscious, which is a bit foreign to me. I’m not usually nervous around people, and I normally don’t care how I look. Vic explains that this is normal, especially because it’s my first date. I’m not so sure, but he’s the expert, so I take his word for it.)

Finally, once we’ve agreed that I’m ready, the two of us head downstairs until it’s time for me to leave and pick up my date.

“So,” Vic says as he sits down on the couch and I take the lounge chair. “You never told me who it is that you’re taking out on a date. Is it Jenna? I heard she’s got a thing for you.”

My face heats up. “Uh, no. Actually…it’s a boy.”

Surprisingly, this doesn’t seem to faze Vic in the slightest. “Oh, okay. Hold on, let me think.” Suddenly, a wide grin spreads across his face. “Oh, I know who it is. It’s Kellin Quinn, isn’t it?”

I am so not good at this. “Well…yeah.” I nod, smiling a little. “Yeah, it’s him.”

He claps. “I knew there was something going on between you two!”

Mom pops her head out into the room from the kitchen. “Did I just hear that Mike’s dating a boy?”

“Yep,” Vic says. “You totally shouldn’t have bet me on that one. Now, if you recall, I get to use your car whenever I want.”

My family, everyone.

God, he’s beautiful.

I’m watching from my car as Kellin opens the front door and hops out, smiling as he climbs into the passenger seat. “Hey.”

I don’t respond because I’m too distracted by him. His hair, his eyes, his smile, his everything. I need to get it together, because I am absolutely tongue-tied, all of Vic’s advice flying right out of my mind.

“Mike?” Kellin says, raising an eyebrow at me.

“Uh…” Damn it. I haven’t even been with him for two minutes and I’m already fucking things up.

He smiles at me. “You look good.”

“I, uh, thanks,” I stutter. “You, too.”

Kellin tilts his head slightly. “Mike, are you a dating virgin?”

Is it that obvious? “Uh…yeah.” I bite my lip.

“I guess I’ll just have to teach you what to do, then.” He holds his hand out, his smile widening. “Hold my hand, loser.”

What can I do but agree?
