Do Me a Favor (Nick O'Malley)

Chapter 3: Dinner

The next morning, I woke up early. And of course, the first thing I checked, was my phone.

One new message. Yes! Wait, no, maybe it wasn't even Nick. I have to stop and be so excited about everything he does. Although, he is a man to get excited about ... However ... I opened the message.

* Hey, it's Nick. I hope you slept well, I did at least. *

A smile danced its way up my face. My fingers typed a quick reply.

* Hey, Nick. I did as well. *

* Good to hear. Are you free today? * Say no. I still have tons of homework to catch up with and I really didn't want to get behind ... but a part of me wanted to meet him again, so I snap the twig in half.

* Well, I was planning on finishing all my homework and study a bit. * I grinned to myself.

* Oh, do you want me to help you? * My smile widened.

* I think I can perfectly handle my studies alone, but I am free tonight. But I guess that's too late? * I started to doubt myself and quickly send him the message.

* No, that's not too late at all. We could grab some dinner together or go and watch a movie? *

* Well, that is a tempting offer, Mr. O'Malley. * I mentally facepalm myself and get up from my bed.

* Good, because that was my intention. I pick you up at seven if that's okay for you. * I nodded, but soon realized that he couldn't see me, so I texted him one last time.

* Works for me, see you then. *

* See you then. * I texted him my adress and received a 'thank you', then I put my phone on the nightstand and went downstairs to eat breakfast.

I have studied for about four hours and eventually catched up with my homework. It coudn't be seven o'clock soon enough, so at six o'clock, I went into the bathroom to shower after I stripped myself from my pajamas. (That's right, I sat the whole day in my comfortable pajamas.) I washed my hair as I sang along with Lady Gaga.

When I was out of the shower, I just put on some jeans and a Marvel t-shirt. God, I like these movies. The whole Marvel Universe to be exact, but that doesn't matter, at the moment. I dried my hair and put on a little bit of mascara before I went downstairs to sit on a chair. It was almost seven o'clock and I just couldn't wait any longer so I checked my phone.

One new message. I was already dancing around the kitchen table, but when I opened the message, it wasn't from Nick. I pouted.

Mom.

*Hey, sweetie, I can't make it home tonight. You can order something if you want. I'll pay you back tomorrow morning.*

Oh, okay.

*That's okay, mom. But I told you that I would go to grab dinner with a friend, remember?* My phone vibrated.

*Yeah, sorry forgot about that. Have fun!* I smiled down to my phone and once again, it vibrated, but this time it wasn't my mother. It was Nick.

*I'm outside. X*

I got up from the chair and headed towards the door, only to find Nick standing there. My heart fluttered at the sight of him. He looked... amazing.
