Chapter 17- Date Night

Hey guys! Sorry I didn't update last week. I felt so weak and tired, and I couldn't figure out why at first, but then I realized I haven't been eating much, so I had no energy. I'm doing a lot better now, so here is the next chapter! I know I usually update frequently, but finals are coming up, so it might be a little slower until break. We will see.

Enjoy the chapter tho!

I really don't deserve this.

Maybe this was karma for when I found my neighbors missing puppy and brought it back to her house. Or that one time, I helped an old lady with her groceries.

But I don't deserve Blair curled up on my side on my couch while we watch Mulan.

I'm not complaining, just to clarify.

I hadn't been on a date in so long, not since Daisy. I was so nervous that I had to call Maya and Gabe before I picked Blair up from work because I had absolutely nothing planned. All three of us decided that a day out at the farm with movies and dinner would be good. All I could think about at first was, is this enough? Did Blair want to go out to some fancy restaurant? Maybe a boat ride? However, I quickly learned that Blair is a woman who appreciates the little things in life.

She was having so much fun; it was cute to watch. I took her to the house that was on the farm, and she loved it. At first, she sat down on the counter, watching me frantically try to cook us dinner, which she thought was hilarious because I was a shit cook. She eventually helped me out when I burned the Mac n' cheese.

I also learned that Blair was an amazing cook. She helped me make the mac n cheese, chicken alfredo, and some mashed potatoes. She explained to me that her parents are Caribbean. She said they grew up on a small island called Trinidad and Tobago, and they taught her how to cook authentic Caribbean food from a young age, and I told her that she has to cook me come curry one day.

We ate and then decided to watch some Netflix, and Blair decided on Mulan, her favorite Disney princess.

I was watching the movie, but Blair was staring at me the entire time.

"You know there is a movie playing, right?" I sarcastically tell her.

"Yes, I know, but you're cute, and I really like these." She says, poking at my dimples.

"My dimples?"

"Yes." She nodded her head. "I would like to live in them or something."

I laugh at her. "Okay, what kind of food did you eat? Are you high?" I jokingly ask.

"No, but I'm having a lot of fun, so thank you." She says, giving my dimple that she was poking and prodding at a kiss.

"Mhmm. So I had an appointment with my physical therapist and your Dad before I picked you up."

She sits up straight. "What happened? Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm great actually, a little pain but not horrible. I still don't think your Dad wants me to play full games yet." She frowns at me. "Hopefully, after this game, I can start playing for almost the full ninety minutes like I used to. I don't think I'm ready yet, but I'm getting there."

She starts to run her hand through my curls. "That's good! I'm proud, you."

"Thank you. You should come to my next game." I tell her. "You are my good luck charm."

She giggles. " I would like that a lot."

"You can sit with Maya. She is always at the games."

Blair starts picking at her nails, a nervous habit I realized she had.
