Echo

[ 22 ]

"Hey Echo! Wait up!" I slow down turning to the person who yelled my name seeing Dean once again. A small smile makes it way onto my face as I watch him rush across the wet grass to stand face to face with me. His hand grazes the back of his neck before settling by his side. "My sister decided she wanted to hang out with her soccer friends this afternoon so I was hoping maybe we could grab something to eat?" I chuckle slightly trying to lighten the mood. "Dean are you asking me on a date?" I say in a joking manner hoping to get a few light laughs going. "Actually...um yes! That would be nice so yeah I think I am..." He says smiling at me before extending his hand. I laugh nodding slightly taking his hand and allowing him to lead me to his car.

After driving around listening to random music and making small talk about random things we arrive at this diner style restaurant. Dean gets out of the car rushing to my side to open the door for me. I laugh at his chivalry getting out of the car. We both hesitate slightly before reaching out and sliding our hands together. I look down trying to slow the pace of my heart. We enter the restaurant finding a table in the back giving the waiter our order after a few minutes. The atmosphere of this restaurant is nice as the red lights give off a very retro vibe as they illuminate my face. "Has anyone ever told you that your beautiful... because I would tell you everyday if I could." Dean says causing me to rub my fingers together under the table out of timidness.

Dean pulls out his phone snapping a few pictures of me causing me to make various faces and poses. After he finishes he smiles scrolling through the photos before clicking his phone off. The food arrives and we eat laughing at random things and I swear my heart can't beat any harder but it can stop and it did when Namjoon came through the door with another girl looking just as happy as I was only a moment ago.

They sit towards the opposite side her in a very slim fitting dress and him dressed nicely as well. Dean notices my glazed over expression following my eyes in the direction of Namjoon and his mystery date. Dean excuses himself after a moment to go pay leaving me to sit and stare just a little bit longer. Namjoon laughs before turning his head probably feeling my stares we make eye contact for a split second his mouth opening slightly before he stands up. I stand up too making my way towards Dean who is waving me over at the front door on my way to the front I kick a chair out to hopefully stop Namjoon from following me out of the restaurant.
