Bad Boy Parker

Chapter 8

Matt wanted to take me on a date because he felt bad about my cramps. He said I needed to have some comfort food and that I'd be fine afterwards. He wasn't wrong.

All I needed was a way to sneak out after I got home. Matt had sports practice and we planned to meet after so I got time to go home and change. The fact I'm even wearing a hoodie will make Mum suspicious.

I open the door and Mum is packing up to go to the hospital.

"Hey Mum," I look at her figuring a way to ask her to go out.

"I need to go out for a while to grab some things for myself, can I go?," I ask her cautiously.

"Sure," she replies in a good mood.

I hope this is the effect of Anthony.

"When did you get that Hoodie Sandra?" She questions.

"Umm, when I went to the thrift store before I went to the mall," i said and smiled at her.

She continued unphased and made her way to the door.

"She you at ten. Don't do anything stupid," she warns.

"I love you momma bear,".

"Love you Cassandra," she replied and left.

I left out all the air I've been holding in due to fear.

I go freshen up and head to my room. I chose a floral dress to wear and paired it with jacket and black sneakers. I know some of you think dresses and sneakers don't go but trust me this outfit is good.

I put my hair into a messy bun and pull out my baby hairs.
I smack some eyeliner and lip gloss on. I was going for the not trying to hard look.

Matt told me he would pick me up from home so I waited till five when his practice would be over. It was a quarter to five but I was still contemplating things to say to Matt during our first date.

I am still skeptical about Vivian and her friends and the fact he dated all of them out of boredom. I have to be cautious not to have attachment issues with him, if anything should make him attached.

Suddenly, I hear a knock at the door.

I peep through the window near the door to see who it is, Matty is there.

Did I just call him Matty?
This is harder than I thought!
So much for letting him break my heart.

I open the door and he's standing there, sweaty but he smells good. He's holding flowers and his gym bag.

"Hi," he charmingly smiles at me.
"I need to use your bathroom if you don't mind. These are for you," he states handing over the flowers.

"Sure," I state and close the door.

I put the flowers in my room. I wanna press them into my journals as a keepsake. I'm so sentimental sometimes.
I hear the shower turn on and wait for Matt to be done.

I wait patiently on the couch and stare blankly into the wall.
I smell a strong smell, a really nice perfume or cologne smell.
Whenever I'm on my period I feel like my senses are heightened.

I feel warm hands cover my eyes.
Then I feel them removed.

"Let's go Cass," Matt says to me.

I get up and grab my bag. We head outside and what I didn't notice was Matt had a car.
He put his bag in the trunk because he knows it will smell.

He then opens the door for me and I get in. His car smells fresh and new. I try not to act dramatic about this, I mean this was my first real date. Tyler didn't even bother taking me on a real date because he always found an excuse to not. I hope he treats Sammy right.
