One date - Jerry Cantrell

"Please, (Y/N), just go out with him. We can't bare it any longer!" Mike whines.

I sigh and roll my eyes. Jerry has been asking me out for weeks and he won't take 'no' for an answer, even though that's been the answer ever since he first asked.

In all honesty, I don't know why I just don't go out with the guy. After all, he is hot as hell and he is funny as well. Jerry and I always got along very well, I know him well and I love him, I'm just not sure if I love, or even like, him like that. I never pictured myself with Jerry. It's just not me. He's so not the type of guy I'm usually into. Maybe that's why I keep saying 'no', because he's not my type.

Maybe I should just give it a shot?

"You know I'm not behind the fact that they're actually pushing you to go on a date with him, but honestly, one date can't do any harm, right?" Layne says. Shit, I thought he was on my side.

I shrug the comments off and play some more on my piano. Layne and Mike came to my tiny excuse of a house to hang out and play some music. But since they've got here, all Mike could talk about what Jerry and now he has Layne backing him up as well.

"I though you guys came to enjoy and make some music?" I snap, getting annoyed. If I do agree to go on a date with Jerry, I don't want to do it because the guys want me to go, but because I want to go. I just need a day or two to think about it.

Mike finally drops the subject and soon we are making all sorts of random tunes, Mike playing his bass, Layne his guitar and me playing my piano. It all sounds pretty nice and we go one for a while until Layne says he and Mike should go, because they've got a meeting first thing in the morning.

I say goodbye to both of the guys and as soon as they're gone I start cleaning the house a bit. I order a pizza for dinner and when it arrives I peacefully eat it on my sofa with some music on the background.

A couple of days later, while I'm just doing some regular grocery shopping, I feel someone tapping my shoulder. I turn around and see Jerry standing behind me. I sigh, "Hi Jer,"

I smiles at me, god he really is handsome. And for the record, he's also very fucking cute. "Hey (Y/N), what you doing?"

I laugh and roll my eyes, "Isn't that a bit obvious, Cantrell?"

His facial expression changes from happy to embarrassed and he quickly moves his gaze to the floor. "Yeah, sorry." he whispers.

As I see him so embarrassed, I do feel guilty. I've been so hard on him the last couple of weeks and all he does is being very, and I mean very, fucking nice to me. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be harsh." I say and his head snaps up immediately.

"It's alright." he says with a small smile.

"If you don't mind, I'm going back to do the shopping now, though." I say, trying not to sound too harsh. It seems to be alright, since his smile doesn't fade and he nods. This is the moment I start thinking of going on a date with him. It could be just one date after all, then everyone's happy. He's satisfied and maybe it won't even be that bad. And maybe there'll be more dates, who knows? I decide to just tell him I'll go on a date with him. He is about to turn around when I speak up again.

"If you've got a little longer, you could wait outside and walk home with me, though? I'm almost done and I'd like to talk to you about something." I say and I can see pure joy in his eyes.

"Yeah 'course!" he says and even insists to help me with the rest of the stuff I need.

I pay for my stuff and put it in a bag before heading out with Jerry. It's a warm day out and I couldn't wish for better weather.
