Going Down Sunset Boulevard

Chapter 5: The Date

Nica's POV 

I woke up to the sound of 'Sunset Blvd' as my alarm. Nothing like listening to Drew's voice in the  

morning. I got a towel and hit the shower. 

  ~*~ 

I have a towel tightly wrapped around me and I'm looking for something to wear while I go shopping   

with Jess. I settle with a some black skinny jeans, a blue blouse, black vans, and I put my hair  

down. I head out the door and drive over to Jessica's house. 

  ~*~    

Jess & I are currently at the mall in this shop where it's all about the beach. It's called, Beach Life.  

I'm looking through the bikinis when I find this super cute one that has navy blue and white stripes.  

Too cute. I found this other bikini that had peace signs all over it, cute. I turn around with both bikinis   

in my hand and look at Jess with a questionable face.   

"This one," I say and point to the navy blue and white stripped bikini,"Or this one?" I say pointing to   the other one.  

Jess scrunches up her nose and looks at both of the bikinis thoughtfully.   

She sighs and says,"The stripped one, its so cute."   

"Stripped one it is!" I say and go pay for it at the counter.   

~*~   

Jess and I are heading to our favorite store, Forever 21. I'm totally in love with Forever 21. Being  

going there ever since I was eleven.   

"Hey, that dress is so cute," Jess gushes looking at a light blue skater dress. It's kind of like  

Claire's style. I look at it and instantly I know what I'm going to get Claire for Christmas, she's going  

to love it. Jess and I do a little more shopping when we both say we're starving. We head over to the   

food court and look at our choices. We settled with Panda Express. Yum.

 "So, how did you feel when you and Drew kissed," Jess asks right after she finished eating while  

wiggling her eye brows.   

"I felt butterflies in my stomach," I admit and keep on eating.  

"Do you really like Drew? I mean, I think he's the only guy you actually like. I've known you for years,  

and you've never had a single crush," Jess says in a serious voice.   

I sigh and say,"Actually, I have liked other guys, just not enough to show it. Remember that Colby  

guy, the 8th grader? I liked him."   

"WHAT?! Why didn't you tell us? He was always drooling over you," Jessica says in a faked hurt  

voice.   

"I know, I just didn't want a boyfriend." I say and shrug.  

~*~  

-1 Day later-  

"Hey, Drew," I say and Drew hugs me.   

I inhale and I smell his scent, I sigh with content and reluctantly let go.
