"Hey" I say as I enter the apartment but Alyssa didn't look very happy, so I began to get worried that she knew it all "Please help me out" She says and I mentally breathe out knowing she wasn't referring to what I was worried about at all "What's wrong?" I come closer to her as she is sat on the couch looking dressed but restless "I booked a blind date ages ago, before I met Jordan and I didn't cancel it though and it's today and I feel bad cancelling last minute because he's nice but if I don't show up, it makes me look bad" "Then just go, I am sure Jordan will understand" I sat taking off my jackets and she moans "That's the thing, today is my first staff training, I can't just simply miss it" "What time does it finish?" "8:00" "What times the date?" "8:30 at some fancy restaurant"
"Okay, so what are you going to do?" "I need your help Skye" "Spill" I say siting across from her as she sits up straight
"Please go for me, please it's literally for one hour, tops. You will like him so much and who knows" She says in one breath wiggling her eyebrows
"I really don't know" I squeeze my eyes as I thought of a million ways to get out of it "Please Skye, I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important" Then I remember that I have being going behind her back to Jordan. Maybe this guy can be my way out to thinking about him when I shouldn't and I could leave Alyssa and Jordan alone finally
"Is he cute?" I open my eyes at her asking suddenly interested "Very" She nods her head repetitively
We had a couple more days until semester was due to start and I did have free time now. There has been such a delay but I will do this for Alyssa this once
I was ready and dressed. I looked at myself in the mirror and I looked really nice, and if i could accept that, that was facts
Alyssa had ordered me an uber before she had left and when it arrived it took me to the destination of the 'fancy' restaurant
"Alyssa?" A man calls out at me and I look at him confused at first forgetting he was referring to me "Oh, me? Yeah" He smiled and walks over to me "It's finally nice to meet you and see your beautiful face" He looked so happy so I had to fake smile back
He reaches out his arm and on instinct I hook mine in his, following him inside of the restaurant "You said you loved pasta, so I brought you to the best pasta place in town" He says with great delight on his face and I try mirror his behaviour but it was too fake my sides were hurting
"This place looks really nice"I look around trying to create a conversation and he nods during us both wine "The best for you, Ally" I look down smiling not knowing what to say
Ally? I don't even call her that, how close did they get
Dylan was good looking, I couldn't lie. And he was fuckable, excuse my language. But he wasn't my type. Then again what is my type? I scan his face as he smiles at me as I see many beautiful facial features he had. His smile was infectious with his pearly white teeth but he wasn't no Jordan who gets my heart racing
Wait what did I just think in my head?!
I quickly push any thoughts of Jordan in my head and try turn full attention to him as he begins ordering for the both of us
"I feel like I know a lot about you but it would be better if you repeated them again" I lied as I was running out of things to say "Don't be silly, Alyssa, I know you play hard to get but don't be fooled, I am a runner" He flirts with me that actually made me laugh even though he wasnt fully talking to me "You're so beautiful" He says in a serious tone and I feel a clump in the back of my throat "Shut up" He laughs with squinted eyes
I hate compliments.
"You're not so shabby yourself" He face twitches which I notice but he covers it up with a smile "Food's here" He directs my attention away to the server who was coming our way
We ate in silence. But it was a comfortable silence
"I am gonna pay half" I say getting out money from my purse "No, it's our first date, I am paying" "Dylan" I sulk and he chuckles "I like when you say my name" He licks his lips and I blush looking away "Seriously Dylan" I put my money in front of him and after a few minutes of him staring at me, he takes it "Fine" He gets up to the counter and pays for the both of us. When he is done we walk out same way we walked in
"Let's walk" He takes me around the centre to beautifully decorated shops, cafes. It was so fascinating because I was still getting used to being around here and it was so different. I loved it.
He suddenly came to a hault and I looked up at him confused as he stared at me "What?" I giggle out as he continues to stare "Alyssa?" He questions scanning my whole face and I look at him confused "Answer me" I chuckle at how weird he was being but he was cute anyways so I thought he was playing a joke
"Stop being funny Dylan, it's getting annoying" I smack his arm but he catches it and pulls me closer catching me off guard at our sudden proximity ""Alyssa" He repeats and I swallow as I didn't know why he kept repeating the same name
"Alyssa or?" He holds onto the 'or' making my insides go cold
Fuck. He knew
