5SOS Adopted Me?

Twenty-Six: Date?

MADISON'S POV

I sat at that table, waiting for James. It was now five past and I sighed. Maybe he wasn't really going to show up for this. Maybe he just wanted to get my hopes up and he didn't really like me, but he liked someone else.

"Madison! I'm sorry I'm late, it's a longer walk than I expected." he smiles cheekily and all of those thoughts leave my head and I smile at him, and he loops our arms and I take his and we start walking. I don't know where we're going but there's something about being here with him that makes me feel safer, and everything is just more enjoyable.

"I like your outfit Mads." he pauses letting out a chuckle. "The girls made you wear it, right?" he eyes me, not in a sexual way. Or maybe I'm not good at this I can't really tell how he's looking at me.

"How'd you know?" I raise an eyebrow questioningly and then just laugh. That always makes me feel ridiculous.

"Well I figured you would rather wear something like skinny jeans or shorts and a tee shirt. Like how you did when you ran into me at the cafe and I gave you water." I laugh, I remember that well. I was wearing the boys clothes and a pair of my high waisted shorts.

"You know me so well James." I say sarcastically causing us to laugh as we walk into a pizza parlor. Damn, this boy is fine and can take me out to get pizza instead of a expensive fancy restaurant.

"Go find us a table, I'll order." I nod, walking off to a table for two and checking the time. 8:30, okay I'll try to be back by 10:30 but if not I'll sneak in. I pull out a chair and James comes to sit down with two plates, each with two slices of pizza. He sets a plate of bacon in front of me and I try not to drool, picking it up and taking a bite.

"I got you bacon because well, everyone loves bacon." I give him a thumbs up and he laughs, starting to eat his own pizza. We talk and laugh throughout the whole thing, joking with each other. He has my sense of humor which is a great thing, because I can insult him and he'll either laugh or insult me back.

"Ya know what I like about you Maddie? I like how you're not a girl who's fake. You don't ever act fake and always manage to put your own twist on the style the girls told you to wear. You don't act any different around guys and you can throw and probably take a punch. Oh I saw you dump that coffee on Megan's head by the way. It was everywhere. You're just yourself." he says and leaves me speechless. Nobody has ever told me that they like me, or what they like about me. Okay is this boy sent from the heavens?

"Wow James. I don't know what to say." honestly I don't, this boys has rendered me speechless. Me.

"Well, tell me you'll go on another date with me next Friday night?" he smiles and I laugh while nodding as we stand to leave the pizza parlor. As we walk down the street, he moves his hand over and laces his fingers with mine and I smile as we walk and laugh at each other.

"I set something up here, c'mon." he puts his hands over my eyes and guides me to where we're supposed to go, tripping over his feet a bit. I laugh and I don't think this smile has left my face all night, it's just the effect that this boy has on me. We stop all of a sudden and he removes his hands from my eyes, and I gasp at the sight.

It's so simple yet so perfect. It's a blanket set up with some telescopes and candles for light. This is literally so perfect and this boy, he's rendered me speechless two times in under an hour. He smiles at me hopefully and I just look at him, and then I do what even I didn't think I would. I reach for him and I hug him.

"This is perfect James, thank you, really." I release him from the hug.

"It's nothing really. Now let's do some stargazing." he says, making my smile grow wider and we go lay down on the blanket looking for constellations and pointing out simple things and cracking more jokes that are really stupid. We find Orion's belt and the big and little dippers and just anything really.

"Ask me if I'm an orange." he says leaving me confused.

"Um, are you an orange?" I question laughing.

"No I'm a person." he goes 'psh' causing me to laugh. That was so bad It was funny. We crack up in laughter before I speak up.

"I still remember the last words my grandfather said to me before he kicked the bucket." his expression turns to a serious one. "He said, 'hey, how far do you think I can kick this bucket?'" we both start laughing.

"that... Was not.... Funny." he says, between his fit of hysterical laughter.

"But you're laughing." I say, which only causes me to laugh more. I don't know what this is, maybe I'm high off life. No, I'm high off James.

"Good point. Now we should go, but I'm gonna walk you home." he says and we get up, lacing our fingers together and leaving the park. He said he'll have someone take care of the stuff that's out so I nod, leading him to my house.

"This is where we part ways James." I say and he smiles and I realize the distance between our faces could be no more than a few inches. Suddenly his lips connect with mine and I feel fireworks, shocking me until I kiss back. The kiss lasts a few more seconds before we pull away, and he smiles.

"I'll see you at school Madison." before he walks away, leaving me on my doorstep smiling like an idiot. I slowly walk inside and sneak up the stairs, and I'm in front of my door and open in but before I can close it, a foot jams in my door and I sigh.

"Where have you been Madison."
