     I never understood first date jitters.

     As I looked over at Abby, who stood beside me in the hallway outside of our dorm looking like she was about to pee herself, I just couldn't figure out why. Her lips were apart as she looked at me helplessly, whining about her outfit for the millionth time as we waited for Matteo and Ryder to arrive.

     I on the other hand, was cool and collected for once.

     "Kiwi do you think my outfit is too much?" She doubted herself as she adjusted the top of her dress, looking at herself through the screen on her iPhone.

     I told her what I'd been telling her for the past few days, "No," I sighed, "We're going to a nice restaurant, therefore you should be dressed nicely." I said, "Look at what I'm wearing." I motioned to my jumpsuit and heels.

     "You look more dressed up than I do." She stated, biting the inside of her lip.

     "Exactly." I told her.

    She seemed happy with this because she was quiet for the time remaining. Abby had been talking about this double date so much that I was at the point where a large part of me just wanted to get it over with. She was nervous for no reason. Ryder had been constantly texting her all week and he even FaceTimed her twice. It was clear that he was into her.

     "Did you shave for tonight?" Abby asked me, her eyes going a little wide.

     I couldn't help it, I laughed, "If you're asking if I shaved my vagina a first date, then no I didn't." I smiled as I rolled my eyes at her.

    She looked relieved, "Okay me neither, just making sure, that makes me feel a little better," she stopped and looked at me more seriously now, "Wait, but what if it gets to the point we're we get laid tonight?"

     "That's not gonna happen, it's a first date!" I let out in exasperation as I watched her freak out - I had to admit it was kinda amusing.

     She huffed, "You don't know that," she began crossing her arms, "You and Harry have sex on the regular and yet you've never even been on a date."

    Good point. That was true unless you counted the carnival, which I did.

    "True." I gave in, "Maybe you should go shave actually, he'll probably want to have sex with you so you might as well." I teased as she began rushing to grab her toiletries. I was in the middle of stopping her when two charming boys came walking down the hall.

They were both dressed in bottom ups, but in different colors. Matteo, unlike Ryder was wearing a golden chain around his neck and had one of the buttons undone on the top of his polo. It wasn't flashy at all however - it was tasteful. In fact, the necklace and undone button kinda reminded me of Harry.

His khaki's were fitted but not tight, showcasing his sculpted calves from years worth of football. His dark hair was done perfectly. I stood back and stared at him in awe for a moment, completely disregarding his friend.

He smiled with a set of perfectly white teeth as he held an arm out to grab my hand. He lifted up my arm to get a better look at me as I tried not to blush.

"Hello Beautiful." He couldn't restrain his smile as my cheeks turned a light shade of pink. He pulled me in for a hug before giving me a soft kiss on the cheek.

When he pulled away I was sad, "Are we ready?" He asked the three of us, snapping Abby and Ryder out of their revere.

The two of them had been kissing.
