Dan's Place - March 27th, 8:30pm

Mar 28, 2008 23:47

I take a deep breath and another step closer to his door. I didn't think I would be this nervous, it's just Dan, but this is not just one of our nights out. This is our first real date. I had made a reservation at Donetello's, the super fancy Italian resturant downtown, so hopefully this night will go well. It has to go well. I want it to, no I ( Read more... )

I’ve been pacing around for the last half an hour, okay maybe it has been more like the last two hours, anxiously awaiting Keith’s arrival. This is a big deal. It’s our first real date. I haven’t been on a date in a very long time…not a real one. I just pick up people from bars and stuff.

Dating isn’t really my scene. And dating guys is a completely different matter all together. I’ve never been on a date with a guy. How do you date a guy? Dr. Cox’s words are still bouncing around in my head and I’m trying really hard not to let them get to me but every now and then a little bit more doubt is able to seep through and grab hold. Maybe I’m not meant for this ( ... )

I finally lower the fist to my side and take a breath before beginning to speak. "Hey! You ready?" I rock on my feet a little and smile. He looks kind of emo, I hope that's not the vibe this night is going to have. Emo mixed with first date usually ends up with suck, and not the good kind of suck.

"I got us a dinner reservation." I state, not really knowing why and smile again hoping to recieve a small grin in return.

“Oh,” My hand is still resting on the doorknob and my body is poised, ready to shoot out the door as I had been intending. Though, come to think of it, I’m not really sure why I was heading out the door in the first place. I think I was going to…break it off? Let him know I was cancelling the date? I suppose that’s what the telephone is for, but I wasn’t really thinking things through, “Look, Keith…about dinner,” I say, staring at a spot just passed his shoulder.

He looks up at me with wide eyes, and an incredibly vulnerable face and I sigh inwardly. Forget it. I can’t cancel. Not now that he’s here looking all eager, and innocent and sweet. It would crush him.

“We better hurry or we’ll be late,”

"Cool." I reach for his hand and he slowly accepts. "Let's get going."

The car ride is mostly silent, but not in an awkward way. It was kind of relaxing, as I prepare for a comversation at the dinner table. I look over at Dan who is staring blankly out the window and hope his mood picks up soon.
