Chapter 18: Have Fun

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: HAVE FUN

***

Deliah's POV:

"What are you doing here?" I shout at him, my nerves exploding inside of me one at a time. He can not be here when my dad comes.

"Well I told you, I'm not giving up on that date."

"I knew giving you my address was a bad idea" I say under my breath, but clearly he has super hearing.

"I knew you were trying to keep me from coming to your house, that's why you asked me to pick you up at Damon's house for the date right? But you probably forgot that I already knew where you lived"

"And how exactly? " I ask confused.

"Well apart from the fact that I could've easily asked Damon or Armando for your address, you probably forgot about the night we picked you up for the party." he raised his eyebrow.

I totally forgot.  I sigh and keep looking left and right to see if my dad's car is near.

"You waiting for someone?"

"Yeah, Damon. But I'm not sure if he got my message. Look I don't mean to be rude but you need leave. Like now." I say looking at the road.

"So that's a yes to the date?" he smiles.

"No!"

"Well then it's gonna be a long night." he says taking a seat on the steps.

I sigh and run my hands over my face, internally screaming.

"Fine!"

"Fine, what?" he asks giving me his stupid adorable smirk.

"I'll go on a date with you tomorrow." I say giving in.

"Now was that so-" he starts.

"Don't." I say sternly raising my finger.  I take out my phone again and dial Damon's number but his phone doesn't even ring this time.

"I can give you a ride if you want." he offers.

I bite my lip. My stalkerish crush heart fighting with my brain. 

"Thanks." I say locking the front door and walking to his car. He opens the door for me and I get in.

He slowly begins driving and it suddenly got really awkward. Why is it always like that? Like, let's talk outside my empty house in the middle of the night, cool. But heaven forbid we get in a car alone, awkward as hell. I suddenly heat up and all the fury I felt minutes ago were suddenly replaced by nervousness and images of us kissing. "So, any ideas for our next dates? Anywhere you want to go?" he asks shifting gears.

"I can't believe I agreed to this" I say under my breath.

"Believe it, darling. No turning back now, " he looks my way smiling.

The thing is, going out on a second date with my crush? Dream come true. Going out on a second date with my crush who happens to be Keanu Collins, amazing in my head but a death trap in reality. I may be head over heels for him, but I'm not stupid. I know how he treats girls and I don't want to be tossed to the side when he's done with me. Things were not going according to my 5 week plan.

I turn on the radio but he immediately turns it off. "Hey, you're not going to avoid the conversation by turning on the radio." Again, he smiles.

I turn my body away from him and look out the window, too afraid to open my mouth because I'm certain I'll just say something stupid. "Aaaah," he drags out the vowel. "So you're ignoring me now?"

He drives off the road onto the sidewalk and parks the car switching off the engine.  He turns his whole body my way and I raise my eyebrow at him. We keep staring at each other, neither one giving in. He smirks and I instantly lose, I stupidly bite my lip trying the hide the smile that's beginning to form on my face. It's subtle, but enough for him to lean in and capture my lips. I'm shocked at first by his sudden move and he uses that against me by including his tongue. His hands go to my waist and the back of my neck as he tries to pull me closer. When his hand tucks at the hem of my shirt I quickly break the kiss, causing him to laugh. I glare at him and he raises his hands in surrender before starting the car.

He has the same stupid, cute smile on his face for the rest of the ride. When the car stops at Damon's house I immediately jump out grabbing my bag and say a quick thank you before running to the door. I look back and he's still there, staring at me. I ring the  doorbell about 5 times and 10 seconds later it opens. I give a quick wave to Keanu before hastily entering the house and closing the door behind me. I hear him drive off and sigh, unwillingly reaching up to touch my lips.

I catch Damon staring at me running his hand through his hair. He looks nervous but is obviously trying to hide it. I raise my eyebrow and we stare at each other silently, my eyebrow still raised, for about a minute until I dash upstairs.

"Fuck! I can't believe I fell for that. Dee!" Damon yells running after me up the stairs.

I run straight to his room opening the door with a bang. "Aaah!" she screams trying to cover up her naked body with the sheets.

"Dehlia!" Damon says finally having caught up. All I do is smirk and give him the look.

"Well, I'll be in my office, AKA the kitchen. Soooo, see you guys in...an hour?" I say laughing. "Have fun Carmen." I say closing the door behind me.
