Chapter 8: Sushi Anyone?

I've realized my mistake. I doubled booked myself for this Saturday and I know for sure I can't flake on Chase because it's our first date. I'll just seem uninterested.

I slowly text Becca. Bad news Becca :( Promise you won't get mad at me.

After a few seconds she texts me back. What is it.

Yeah I can tell she's already mad. Whenever you tell someone to not get mad they prepare themselves to get mad.

I can't go out on Saturday night. I forgot about some other plans I made butttt I can come over after. As soon as I send my message I see Becca typing What time can you come then?

I can feel her attitude through the message. I'll probably be done around 11. I know she's pissed at me. I stare at the screen waiting for her response, Okay we'll be back home by then.

The rest of the week passes by and it is currently Saturday afternoon and I have three hours to finish getting ready for my date.

Date.

That sounds so weird for me to say.

I hop into the shower washing my hair and shaving my legs, armpit, and naughty bits. Once I finish showering I go ahead and put on lotion after I wrap a towel over my hair. I let my hair towel dry a bit before letting it down, spraying leave in conditioner and grabbing my diffuser. I need my hair to be dry now.

Once I finish my hair I go to my closet searching for something to wear. I need to know how fancy this date is gonna be but it's too late to ask him. I check the time and see that I have two more hours.

Okay back to my outfit.

I slowly pull out a piece of clothing deciding if I should really wear it. I mean why can't I? I go back and forth in my mind debating if I should wear it. You know what this dress looks cute and I should wear it.

I completely pull out the black slip dress that I wore last Saturday out with Becca and Alex and put it on.

After smoothing it out I look at myself in the mirror yeah I think I should wear it. My ass looks great in it.

I walk over to my vanity and pull out my makeup before deciding on doing something not too extreme. I still want to look like me right. As I'm finishing up my eyeshadow Meredith walks in.

"Oh wow someone's all dressed up," She tells me before walking over to me. "Where are you going?" She asks me and I finish my eyeshadow moving to put on blush.

"Oh no where," I say, trying not to make a big deal out of this.

"You don't go 'nowhere' looking that like," She says looking me up and down.

"Okay maybe I'm going on a little date. It's not a big deal though," I say as Meredith squeals, "Oo I see you Alexis. Tell me how it goes once you come back. I want to hear all about it," She then sits on her bed saying, "I'll leave you alone so you can get ready,"

I finish my makeup and look at the clocking seeing that I have 5 minutes left when I get a snap from Chase. I should really get his number. Hey is it cool if we meet at the front of our building? He asks.

That works for me, I reply before walking over to my jewelry box. I grab a silver cuban link and a nice silver bracelet to match before grabbing a pair of black sandals. I decide against my heels in fear that I'd be over doing it.

I spritz some perfume on my wrists and neck before grabbing my phone, keys, and some lip gloss. "Okay, I'm about to go, bye Meredith," I say leaving my room.

I leave the building and immediately see Chase standing outside. He doesn't see me so I think this time to check him out. He's wearing a nice red buttoned down shirt with black slacks with a silver Gucci belt to tie it all together. He cleans up nice.

I walk up to him and once he realizes he grabs me into a hug resting his hand on my lower back. "You look really nice Alexis," He tells me and I say the same to him. "My car is just over here," He says pointing to the left and we begin walking to it.

"So where are you taking me?" I ask him as we reach the car. He opens the door for me, closes it, and rushes to the other side.

Once he gets in and starts the car up he responds. "It's this nice Japanese Place like 40 minutes away from here. I know it's a drive but it's totally worth it. Fuck, I forgot to ask you, do you like sushi?" He stops the car and we've barely exited the parking lot.

"Yeah I like sushi," I laugh at him as he continues to drive.

I feel like it's been years since I've been in the front seat whenever I go anywhere with Alex and Becca - I stop myself. No Alexis. Do not do this. You are out with Chase right now don't think of them.

The 40 minute ride is light hearted and funny as Chase let's me pick the music. I happen to play the worst songs known to man just to see if Chase would spare my feelings...and he didn't, not one bit.

As we pull up to the restaurant I can't stop giggling, "It wasn't THAT bad," I say to him as he shakes his head. "No it really was, it really was awful,"

We walk into the restaurant and it's nice quiet 'mom and pop' type of place. I definitely feel a bit overdressed. "So we just sort of sit ourselves and they come to us," He tells me, placing a hand on my lower back walking me towards a secluded booth. Once we sit a waiter comes up to us.

"So is your first time here with us?" Chase does most of the talking to the waiter as he walks away, "So do you know what you want?" He asks me pointing down towards my menu laying on the table. "Oh," I quickly pick it up and search through the options.

I quickly settle on a platter of different types of sushi and when the waiter comes back I tell him my order. Once the waiter leaves Chase turns to me. "I'm gonna start hitting you with the hard questions now," I laugh at him saying "Uh oh," He shrugs his shoulders before continuing "So what type of thing are you looking for? Because honestly I'm down for whatever,"

I think to myself before answering. "I honestly don't know. I mean I guess I'm down for whatever too,"

The date with Chase goes well but for some reason as the night persists I see Chase as less of a romantic partner and more as a friend.

He walks me back to my as we stop in front of my door. "I had a lot of fun tonight," He says to me and I agree. "Me too, the sushi really was great. I really enjoy hanging out with you,"

He stares at me as I stare back. And before I know it our lips are planted together. I feel butterflies as well pull away.

"I hope that was okay with you," Chase says and I shake my head.

"I'll um, I'll see you around," I say and watch as he walks away. Well what was that? And why am I not jumping with joy?

The date on paper went wonderfully. We had a nice dinner, we want the same things, conversation flowed between us, I definitely was attracted to him, so what was it?

Whatever I'll think about it later. I look at my phone and realize I'm late to Alex and Becca's so I book it over there.
