The way you should be loved

Chapter four

The date:

Saturday has come around too quickly for my likening. My new friend Emily has been helping me find something to wear for a fun evening he says. What are we doing?. He said to wear something comfortable for our fun night. We chose skinny blue jeans and a pale blue t-shirt. I put my hair in a high ponytail. I wonder what Jordan has planned for our first date. It was now 7.55 and Emily left half an hour ago. It was just me waiting for him now to find out what he has planned. Then there was a knock at the door. There was Jordan in a black t-shirt and jeans with a baseball cap.

"We're not going to a ball game are we?".

" No".

"Where are we going".

" Somewhere fun" he replied, "Are you ready?".

" Yes, I am".

We walked to his car and he opened the door for me to get in. He goes around and gets in the driver's side. I was getting worried about where we are going as I am not dressed for anything nice. He soon pulled up into a parking lot and stopped his car.

"Where are we?". As he turned the engine off.

" Fun night part one". He gets out and I follow. I am glad I put on sneakers. I tried to keep up with him.

"Slow down I can't keep up with you Jordan". He stopped and turned around and smirked at me.

" You should grow taller then shorty." He laughed at me.

"I am not short I'm average height" I moaned "You walk too fast".

" I got a lot planned for tonight. Come on shorty".

"I am not short. And shut up". Looks like our first stop is a bowling alley. We are bowling. I can't bowl for shit. We go in and get a lane.

" What size are you?".

"Pardon".

" Shoes".

"Oh, an 8".

" A size 8 for my girl. And I'm a size 12".

"You have big feet".

" Big feet and hands mean a...".

"Stop don't want to hear it".

" Oh you will find out" he purrs. Changes his tone "Let's bowl before we lose our lane. It's crowded here tonight".

We change into our bowling shoes. After his comment, I can't help but look at his feet. I wish he didn't say anything because I'm looking. He notices and there is that smile again. Oh please stop. He chuckles at me. Jordan gets up and goes to walk off to our bowling lane. He sits down at the monitor and writes down our names.

Jord

Beth

" Oh, you're Jord then not Jordy". He looked at me in disgust.

"I hate that name. How did you know that?".

" I remember it.  When I was little, I was lost in the office, I remember the older brown haired boy say that name to another brown haired boy".

"I hate it".

" I can tease you with it now. Especially after you keep calling me shorty".

"Let's bowl". Changing the subject and picks up a bowling ball. With that hits a strike all ten pins fall to the floor. " Yes". He jumps around doing a victory dance. "Here, its you're turn". He gives me a ball.

" I'm no good at this".

"All you have to do is hit the pins".

" That's what I can't do".
