Downtown Idea

31. Stuck

Friday night at 9, Jeremy showed up to Zoe's house. I had forgotten completely about my date with him, but luckily I was still dressed from my day of looking fabulous in the fashion world.

"Hey, you look great!" He said smiling nicely. He was wearing a button down and some jeans. He looked nice, but I was a bit over dressed. "You ready to go?"

"Uuuh..." I held up my finger for him to wait a moment and I closed the door on him. I ran up to my room and changed shoes and half of my clothes before I glanced in the mirror and ran back downstairs.

"Where are you going?" Zoe asked as I ran passed her.

"Got a date!" I called back before opening the door again. Jeremy was waiting on the front steps like I hadn't just closed the door on him. "Sorry. I was over dressed."

"You looked fine." He laughed offering me his hand. I took it and felt a bit weird holding his hand.

I had dated two or three guys - counting Calum - but it had been a while since I went out with anyone. I was a bit busy with my work. I didn't really have time to date. I was going all over the place all the time.

Regardless, I was feeling a bit like a high school girl on her first date.

"So where are we going?" I asked as we walked down the street together. The lack of photographers around was a bit strange to me, but I didn't question it. Maybe I could get through a real date without being bothered about what people think of me or the person I'm out with.

"Well I thought we could get some dessert." Jeremy said smiling. He was so adorable I could scream.

"I like dessert." I nodded.

We walked down the street together silently. I couldn't tell if it was uncomfortable silence or not. I kind of thought it was just me being nervous. Jeremy didn't seem the slightest uncomfortable so I brushed it off.

"Are you okay?" Jeremy asked as we came to this little dessert place. He held the door open for me and I nodded as I walked passed him.

"I'm a little bit nervous." I admitted with a light laugh. He looked at me like I was crazy before he pulled me over to the counter to order something.

This place was little and not very fancy. It was honestly a bit refreshing. Every guy I went out with these days always felt like they needed to impress me. They always took me to fancy restaurants where the food costed too much and you had to wear something nice to get a decent table.

Jeremy didn't feel like he needed to impress me apparently. That or he thought this was all it would take. I mean was right but he didn't actually need to know that.

We both ordered some kind of brownie sundae thing before we sat down together at a table outside. I usually tried to avoid sitting outside, but no one seemed to care at all about me tonight.

"So you're nervous to be out with me?" Jeremy asked raising her eyebrows at me.

"A little bit." I said laughing lightly while I took a bite of my dessert.

"You, Gorgeous Reese MacClaggen, World Famous Super Model, are nervous to be on a date with me?" He asked reasoning with me, "I'm nobody next to you. I should be the one who's nervous. The press tears apart anybody seen with you."

I glanced around nervously for anybody who might be spying on us and sighed. "I haven't been on any dates in a while." I admitted. "Don't really have time."

"I heard you just moved to LA." Jeremy said making me scrunch my nose. I liked LA. Jonas lived there and most of my friends lived there and it was always warm there. And then Calum was there.
