First Date
Do you remember how you felt before your first date with someone you liked so much? Well I do! I still remember having all those butterflys in my stomach, but yet I couldn't sit still from having so much excitment. I just couldn't make up my mind about my feeling, but I was happy with the decision I choose in the end...
It all began on a Sunny summer day, and my friends and I were in the park watching some guys playing a game of soccer. In the group of guys there was my friends' boyfriends, and a tall, dark haired, muscular guy, that I liked. His name is Nicholas, but of course every one just called him Nick. Isn't his name so, dreamy? Nicholas!
I liked Nick for as long as I could remember, but I was
always too afraid to ask him out. One year I almost got up the nerves to ask him, but chickened out the minute he turned around the corner. I am such a big scaredy cat. I however was mostly afraid that he wouldn't feel the same. Especially where were friends and had been for many years.
Nick never knew that I liked him more than a friend. He just found that my friends were acting a little strange around him, making him think that they didn't like him. For they would have gotten up and left every time he came around us. It was mean, but they knew that I liked Nick. They had also promised that they would leave us alone, whnever I wanted to be alone with him. That was almost all the time though, and they were always true to their word.
That day though everything had changed. Sure, when Nick came up to me my friends left. What had changed was the way Nick was acting. He couldn't stay still, and had asked me to follow him to a quieter place where no one was around, so he could talk to me in private. He never wanted to talk to me in private before. For he always said that there was never a need to talk in private. For you should never keep secrets from others. I really wanted to know what was up with him so
I followed him.
We figured that the quietest place would have been the walking trail. We walked down the trail in silence until we came to the lake. It was beautiful there with the sprinkling blue water and the claming sound of the water hitting the shore. I asked him if we could've stayed there, since there was no one else there and it was quiet. He agreeded and we sat down on the benches there. He still looked like he was afraid to say what he wanted to say, but after a few minutes he finally said what he wanted to. What he wanted to say, or should I say ask me, was to go the movies with him and than a coffee afterwards.
Before he could even get it all out, I ran up to him and start to hug him. I was just so happy that I had to hug him while saying that of course I will go to the movies with you. Then I ran off to tell my friends, as Nick just stood with a shocked looked frozen to his face. He looked funny just standing there but that's was all I could do.
When I told them why Nick asked to talk in private, they thought I was joking with them. That's how unbelieveable it was. Well, I had liked him for so long and nothing had happened up until this point in time that is. We started talking about how he asked me and what I was going to wear.
Oh my god! I had forgot that I didn't have anything nice to wear. I had asked my friends if they had anything I could borrow. I knew of course what their answer was going to be, but I asked anyway. Oh well they did however offered to go shopping with me.
I was so greatful that they did go shopping with me, or I probably wouldn't have got through it. First I almost picked up a dress that looked so horrible on me. Then I almost gave up since I couldn't find anything. That's was when I spotted the cutest top ever, and a very hot skirt that went together. The top was a bright gold top with a silver heart in it. The skirt on the other hands was a beautiful flowing black one that had little rimstones going around the waist. Plus they had matched the shoes that I had bought like the week before.
That night I started getting butterflys in my stomache. I was also starting to think about not going on the date at all. Plus he might not even show up, and I don't want to be stood up. What happens if he tries to kiss me? Oh my god, what have I gotten myself into.That's it! I can't go through with it. Then again I don't want to stand him up so I'll go.
I finished getting ready. I brushed my teeth and washed my face. I put on my make-up and stuck on my shoes. Then I got my coat and my purse. That's whenI remembered the kissing thought, so I kicked off my shoes and ran for my room to get my pack of gum of my nightstand. Then I waited and waited for Nick to arrive. The time was passing by yet he still didn't show up. He's late. Maybe he isn't going to show up. Oh please lord, let him show up I don't want to be stood up. At least not by him, definitly not by him. Oh please, say he has a good excuse.
There he is and looking fine might I add. What a relief! At least I'm not being stood up, but what happens if he wants to to take me somewhere private after. Oh god, please say that don't happen. I'm not ready for this. I got to back out, but what about Nick I can't break his heart. He looks just as nervous. I'll go after all It'll be alright. Well, at least I hope it will be.
I was wrong it wasn't just alright it was prefect. Nick was the sweetest thing to me, too. He open my car door and helt the doors at the cinema, and at the cafe. We had so much fun, from watching the movie (even though the couple next to us were making out). We didn't care. Then talking over coffee at the little cafe it took me to. That's where I found out the he had liked me for years (just as long as I had liked him actually). He was always to afraid that I'd say no because my friends didn't seem to like him. I explained to him that they did like him, and that the only reason they always left was because I ask them to. Only because I kept trying to ask him out, but always chickened out when he started to talk. Oh well, all that starts well, ends well! and that
was true for me that night.
