The Bad Boy in my Room

Chapter 5

Once we got home, I haven't heard much from Jace. He's been in his room holed up and I've been reading my life away in YA fiction. Exciting right? Asher has come over through my window a couple of times before bed to hang out and talk, then I sent him back. Tomorrow was our "first date" and mother says I need my beauty sleep. I wonder if she was hinting to something.

In the morning I woke up and showered with my favorite cherry blossom scented shower gel, the put my headphones in and BLASTED Teenage Dream by Katy Perry. Feeling the rhythm I jumped around swinging my hair around and around, back and forth. I noticed a figure in the corner of my sure and caught sight of Asher dying of laughter in his room in front of the window. ' Can I die like right now?'

I took out my earbuds and looked at him apologetically. He was still recovering from his heart reaching laugh and managed to say, " are you that excited about our date?" He quirked a smile.

I stuck out my tongue at him, " It's not even real" I heard him chuckle then I descended down the stairs. I was actually excited to get out of this house of silence and misery. A smile crept on my face. I entered the kitchen, "Good morning everyone!"

My mom look at me suspiciously, "someone's in quite a good mood. Excited for today?"

Jace didn't move, but only continued to eat his food.

"Um, I feel like it's any other ordinary day mom. Nothing new. " I shrugged as I say down and began to devour my breakfast.

"Just remember to be appealing, smile alot, laugh at his jokes, and make eye contact. isn't that what about covers it jace?"

He finally looked up to address my mother," I'm sure. Although it does also depend on the type of guy" the way he said 'type' seemed as if he was attempting to say something without saying it.

"Your such a nice boy. maybe there's a girl at school for you!"

"Maybe." and with that he cleaned after himself and left.

Finally after hours of preparations, I was ready for my "date". I works a black halter shirt with a peach high wasted skirt. My hair was styled in a katniss Everdeen braid and I wore latched flat sandals. My make up was simple. Only mascara.

" Sage! Your handsome date is here!" my mother called from downstairs.

I left and closed my door to be met by jace in the hall. " You look nice" was all he said and I said thanks in return. Awkward. I continued down and mom decided to squel as I hot the last step.

"Picture time!" Holding up this gigantic camera.

"Mom no. "

"But we must!". I sighed giving in.

I went over to Asher. He dressed simply. Wearing a gray v neck, khaki shorts and black vans. As soon as I reached him, he snaked an arm around my waist pulling me to him, looking into my eyes. " You look amazing"

I blushed looking away and back, " you don't look so bad yourself. "

"AAAAWWWWEEEEEE" flash. Stab me now. " This is an excellent picture. Look at it!" with his arm still around me, we looked at the camera. I gasped. It truly was an amazing picture. I was in his arms and we were looking at each other. More than that, his eyes bore into mine with awe, and I was smiling back at him with a genuine smile. We looked as if we've known each other for years and we have been reunited. " That's the only picture I'll take right now. I don't wanna ruin my Luck with such a great capture. I'm going to go next do to work out photo sharing options with your mother Asher. Have a great time you two!"

Asher drove, and we stopped In front of a local restaurant and arcade called.
" pizza joes". ( it's just a name. If it really exists that's not what it is) I opened my car door but he said," no close it," I did as he said and he walked over and opened the door for me,
" madame."

"AAAAWWWWWEEEE" We heard from behind us.

I leaped around, " MOM!? What are you doing here?"

"Mom? why are you here?" Asher also said to his own mother.

They looked sheepishly at each other then Asher's mother spoke, " we just wanted to see you guys in action."

That sounded completely off in my head. " Mom, come on. Can we have some privacy please?" Asher complained.

" Were going! ok bye! have fun kids!" my mother yelled as they rounded the corner and away.

" Jesus, they are mental!" I huffed.

He put an arm around my waist, " I know, my mother had never made a fuss about any other girl. It's probably because your beautiful and she loves your mother." I flushed instantly. As soon as we were seated at a booth in the back, we both ordered strawberry lemonade and begun to look over the menu." I want to order my favorite pizza, but it's a really a weird favorite."

I looked up at him questionably,
" Surprise me. it can't be weirder than my favorite." He smiled in response to that.

" Oh so your not going to say that your strictly on salad diets like usual dates?"

" you obviously know nothing about me. "

He whispered the order the the waiter and he was off. When I looked back at him, he was looking at me, " why are you looking at me?"

" I don't need to answer a question that you already know the answer to."

To be continued.
