Rolling down the River of life

Chapter 7

Friday night was finally here. I was just applying the 2nd coat of my mascara when the door bell rung. Scott was here and I was looking forward to spending some time with him!
I walked briskly to answer the door and sure enough, there was Scott. For a fleeting moment I saw those unmistakable blue eyes belonging to River in my mind but I quickly shook it off.
"Hey Scott. Where are we going tonight?"
"Well I thought we could go get something to eat........ or a movie or something like that." Scott seemed a bit nervous for some reason but then again there were a few nerves in me too.
"Sure, how about we go get some food  then we could see about a movie?"
"Great plan. I know an excellent place in town where we can eat" Scott says smirking slightly.   That was weird.....  "uh yeah sounds good"

...................

We walked into an italian restaurant and before I got the chance to, Scott pulled my seat out for me to sit down. How is he interested in boring old me?                                                                        

We got given the menu and i only got a quick glance through the 2 paged booklet before the waitress came back to take our order.

After 15 minutes of pointless banter between Scott and I our food finally arrived at the table.

"I hate to bring this up again..." Scott started.

Oh no not this again.

"But it seems like you two have a thing, i mean i hear different stories from different people" He carried on.

"Look, i like river and all but i just don't see us ever happening. There's nothing going on between us and I hardly know the guy, that's all there is to it really.." I said, relieved to have finished my short speech.

"Alright, alright i was just making sure i wasn't taking what was someone elses"

Um no.

"I'm not an object." I said slightly angrily

"That's not what I meant" he said with a smile

Why the fuck is he smiling? And why is he acting so weird?

"I think we should just skip the movie tonight, yeah?"

"Sure babe. Are you nearly done with your food, because if you want you can come back to mine?"

I was still a bit pissed with him but I didnt want to have the whole night ruined. Maybe he can redeem himself.

"Fine." i spoke

He quickly paid the bill so we could hop in his car and get to his house.
