Glancing up at him, I grinned. Hearing him say, ‘My girl,’ sent a spark of joy running through me. He was looking down at me with a small smile, and I squeezed his hand. All of a sudden, I heard Jen clear her throat beside us. Jeez guys, get a room, she laughed.
Oh don’t worry, we will, Noah replied, stepping closer to me and swinging his arm over my shoulder. As a matter of fact, we’re having our first official date tonight.
Really ? Jen asked, flicking her gaze towards me and smirking.
Uh huh, I nodded, just as a vibrating sound erupted from Noah’s pocket.
I watched as he reached in to his shorts and pulled out his phone. Flipping it open, he placed it to his ear, a huge grin breaking out. Okay okay. I’ll be there in twenty. Yeah. Alright dude. See ya.
As he placed the phone back in his pocket, he turned towards me. That was Dean and Mark. They’re practically begging me to check out this new game, and they’re bribing me with pizza.
I laughed, standing up on my toes to lightly kiss his lips. Go say hi to Dean for me. I’ll see you tonight.
I can’t wait, he murmured, leaning down to lightly brush his lips against mine before turning around and jogging across the field. Lily, you are a fiery vixen ! He yelled loudly as he ran, making me blush like crazy as a few people on the field turned to stare at me. Jeez !
Shaking my head slowly and smiling softly to myself, I turned around to find Jen grinning at me. Well, I need updates. And I need them now.
Dude… I laughed, aware that Pete was still there. He hadn’t said a word since Noah had said we were kind of together.
Smiling at him, I was un-nerved to see him glaring at me. He’s not good enough for you, he said suddenly, his voice hard.
It doesn’t really have anything to do with you, I said, frowning at him. Switching my focus to Jen I just shook my head. I’m gonna go home, I need to take a shower. You coming ?
Uh no, I’ve got a friend meeting me in town, we’re going for a little beauty therapy, she grinned, wiggling her hands at me, indicating she was going for a manicure.
Ok, I’ll catch you later then, I smiled at her. Bye Pete.
Without waiting for an answer from him, I turned around and walked away, soon picking up my pace until I was sprinting across the field towards home. Pete was starting to creep me out too, just like he was creeping out Noah. But as I ran, all thoughts about Pete were forgotten as my thoughts started to drift to Noah. My mind flashed back to the way he kissed me. Not the first kiss, but the one on the ferris wheel. It was gentle, and it me made me smile just thinking about it. The prospect of going out with him tonight kind of scared me. I hadn’t been with anyone in a long time, but Noah was changing that, slowly but surely.
I guess there’s only one question ; what the hell do I wear ?
Lily POV :
I had been in the apartment for a couple of hours now. The time had been passing excruciatingly slowly. Standing up and walking over to the T. V, I switched it off. Turning towards the clock, I saw that it was 7pm. I was expecting Noah to take me out to dinner or something, but I figured it was getting too late to do that. As I reached in to my pocket for my phone to ask him where he was, I jumped when it suddenly buzzed first. Taking it out of my pocket and opening it up, I saw a text message from Noah.
Hey gorgeous. I’ll be picking you up at 10. 30 tonight. Don’t ask me why it’s so late, it’s a surprise. Can’t wait to see you ! X
Grinning broadly, I wondered what the hell we would be doing. I mean 10. 30pm, that’s a little late to start a date. But the excitement was creeping up, and I couldn’t help but shove the phone back in to my pocket and stride over to the radio. Flicking the on button, I browsed until I heard a catchy song. It seemed that I wouldn’t have to get ready until later, so I had to find some way to pass the time. So, as I cranked up the volume, I started tapping my foot softly, gradually shifting to a full on dance routine. In less than ten seconds, I was waving my arms around and wiggling my ass, dancing all over the apartment as you do when nobody’s watching.
Ahem… I heard from behind me, somebody obviously clearing their throat.
I had my back to the front door at that precise moment, so I spun around quickly, smiling when I found Jen leaning against the door frame, an amused look on her face. Oh, I didn’t see you there, I said, lowering my arms to the floor and grinning lopsidedly. I was just
I saw what you were doing, she laughed, stepping in to the apartment and closing the door behind her. You were dancing like my uncle Albert does when he’s drunk at a party.
Hey, I argued. I’ve seen your uncle dance ; I am no way near as bad as him. Am I ?
She just snorted, placing her handbag on the kitchen counter and shrugging off her coat. Lilz, just don’t ever do that in public, okay ?
Whatever, I muttered back, wondering if my dancing was really that bad. So, did you get your nails done ?
Yep, she nodded, holding out her hands and wiggling them at me. But I don’t want to talk about them.
I took a step backwards and plonked myself down on the couch. Let me guess, I said looking up at her. You want to talk about Noah.
Your damn straight I do, she laughed, wiggling her eyebrows at me. I thought you hated the guy ?
Sighing, I watched as she walked over to the couch, taking a seat beside me. He’s gotten to me Jen. I thought he was the typical player, but I have a feeling that he’s different. We’re gonna take things slow.
Really ? she whispered, He must think you’re some girl…
Why’s that ? I asked.
In the two months I’ve known him, I’ve never seen him take it slow with a girl. He must really like you.
I grinned at her. Well we’re going on our date tonight. But he said he’ll pick me up at 10. 30, weird huh ?
Hmm, I wonder where he’s taking you ? she spoke quietly, looking like she was deep in thought.
I don’t know, I smiled. But will you help me get ready ?
Sure ! Jen said excitedly, yanking me off the sofa and pulling me towards her room.
Jeez, slow down would ya ? It’s not for another couple of hours yet, I muttered, feeling like my arm was about to pop out of it’s’ socket.
