Perfect Eve

41

"So, I take it that your first date after a century was so freaking good?" Sophie's voice squeaked through my phone.

"Yeah, it really was." I smiled at the thought of it.

Yesterday was something beautiful. I really don't know if this-Zack and I- would last long or not, but I think I'm gonna keep this one as a happy memory for the rest of my life.
  
Technically speaking, we just started dating yesterday. But thinking about it, we've been together for months.

Yesterday, as we reached my home, he let out a deep sigh. "Just so you know, that was my best first date."

"Me too, Thank you." I agreed. After all, I've never been to a date for like, five years...?

Wow, that's a long time for a teenager.

"Thanks to you. Now that it went smoothly, to be honest, I was a bit nervous." He smiled. "Don't tell Seth or Justin." He added quickly, which made me laugh.

"If it makes you feel good, I was nervous too," I smiled. It was dark, only a couple of streetlights still working. "So..." I trailed off, looking at him.

"So, yeah. We reached." He said, shoving his hands into his pocket. But my focus was on his features illuminated by the less lighting.

"Uh? Yeah, reached." I looked down, just to meet his gaze again.
"Aren't you coming in?"

He shook his head with a wink,
"Next time."

"Okay. Bye then."

"Bye," he stepped closer and I felt my stomach do a flip again, out of pure excitement.

"Good night?" I mumbled in a low voice and he smiled, leaning closer.

"Goodnight." He whispered just before his mouth brushed against mine.

Indeed a good night it was.

"Is my phone still working?" Sophie's voice brought me out of the memory loop.

"What?"

"Oh, thank almighty, you're still alive!" She sighed. Always dramatic.

"Stop being a drama queen, Soph."

"Really? I've been talking to you for a minute or so, just to get complete silence in return."

Oh.

"I'm sorry, I didn't hear that."

"Of course, you won't. Now that you have a boyfriend."

I groaned, closing my eyes. "Just.shut.up."

I heard her laugh and rolled my eyes, walking through the almost empty hallway.

"I think that my free hour is over, Soph. It's chem now." I sighed, clutching my bag tighter.

"Why don't you bunk with your boyfriend?"

"Forget what I said and shut UP!" I whisper-yelled into my phone, just to get a chuckle in return.

"I'll call you ba-" before I could even finish that sentence, I felt a clasp on my arm and was pulled back.

Keeping me leaned against the locker, Tyler stood in front of me with narrowed eyes.

"Why are you hiding from me?"

"I'm not hiding from you." I said in defence, but it was a weak one.

"That's evident, Eve. I'm expecting you to talk to me and you just escape whenever there's a possibility."

Those blue eyes were still as intimidating as hell.
