Jessie

It was finally Sunday. The day which I'll have my very first date. And with none other than Nathan. The day I'll no longer feel like I'm not being asked out by anyone. The day my status changes from single to in a relationship. And the day I'll no longer feel like I'm nobody.
704Please respect copyright.PENANAFvvgQ6HXKS
Don't get the wrong idea, it's not like I'm desperate, or like Nathan romantically or sexually that much, he is handsome yeah. But not that handsome that girls all drool over.
704Please respect copyright.PENANAxmDA3A5re2
I mean he is alright. Not that popular, or anything.
704Please respect copyright.PENANA5LkNMy9k5K
Who am I kidding? It's Nathan-freaking-Evans. Who is loved and adored by everyone. Even my own father is totally fond of him. He's popular, handsome, smart, rich, etcetera. He has all the good qualities any person wishes to have.
704Please respect copyright.PENANAVjFOCegwEP
So of course, it does matter that I'll be dating him. I've been daydreaming and worrying about it since Thursday.
704Please respect copyright.PENANAtqyHzIT71a
Which is nearly four days ago. Which is sixty five hours ago, which equals three thousand and nine hundred minutes ago, and two hundred and thirty four thousand seconds ago, precisely.
704Please respect copyright.PENANAQHFk96VNsw
So umm... Yeah.
704Please respect copyright.PENANARH6nTUg1gW
Now you might be wondering how I wasted all those seconds? I wasted it on picking out the right outfit for my first date.
704Please respect copyright.PENANA89N8qNIQNu
Me. Jessica King, wasted two hundred and thirty four thousand seconds, on fashion, and not books.
704Please respect copyright.PENANAy9HOO8qCGm
Now that's a record I should write in my diary. But anyways, Rachel helped me pick out a very pretty yellow floral dress. Since I didn't know where Nathan was planning to take me, Rachel thought a girly outfit would be better.
704Please respect copyright.PENANASzfGdcyBMX
So here I was waiting in the guest room, for Nathan. He said he'd go bring his new car, to drive us to our first date's location. I stared at my dress for the thousandth time that day, it was knee length, sleeveless, and... too much girly.
704Please respect copyright.PENANA6ePc3ZE9kE
It was something Rachel would love to wear so much, even Emma would want to wear the pink or baby blue one.
704Please respect copyright.PENANAEfXmwHTAb3
No no no no no, don't go there.
704Please respect copyright.PENANAbJb10cC6oP
My point is: it's definitely not my type. But the weird thing is I liked it. I was very nervous for my date, but in love with the dress I was wearing.
704Please respect copyright.PENANA4iXVhhLxRb
I jumped up from surprise, when I heard someone knock at the door. I quickly ran towards the door and opened.
704Please respect copyright.PENANA2LX6NIQ1Kv
Nathan was there. Grinning at me, with a bouquet of red roses in his hands.
704Please respect copyright.PENANAYRruhvj6Sn
He scratched the back of his neck nervously, and walked very slowly towards me. He handed me the roses, which hid nearly all of my face, and smiled.
704Please respect copyright.PENANA9GnPzdWVyv
"You look like a yellow rose among the red ones" He said, his adorable smile still on his face.
704Please respect copyright.PENANA5GjxZ8IKcS
Did I just say adorable?
704Please respect copyright.PENANAwzDxIz7NVo
And did he just compliment me?
704Please respect copyright.PENANA7VMgVwSZoK
"Umm... thanks?" I said, and mentally face palmed myself.
704Please respect copyright.PENANAxrNQagr0vl
Great the date hasn't even started yet, and I'm already a nervous wreck.
704Please respect copyright.PENANAWpD1pHVZzA
Way to go, Jessie.
704Please respect copyright.PENANAh08HwvzZys
"You're welcome" Nathan said, and bowed like Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice. "Shall we go?"
704Please respect copyright.PENANAHPmN0AQs6p
"Yeah" I mumbled and started to follow Nathan out. But unfortunately the bouquet's size was too large for my likings and I couldn't pass through the door.
704Please respect copyright.PENANAMtaqSIFZoQ
Nathan frowned as he noticed what that I'm struggling to pass through the door, trying out every angle to pass the flowers through the door first.
704Please respect copyright.PENANA8woznXz2UI
"Uh... I think you should leave them inside, Jessie." He said, "you're probably going to bring it home again"
704Please respect copyright.PENANAhNRPRw99ZL
I blushed, and muttered a Yeah under my breath, which I was so sure that he'll probably never hear it.
704Please respect copyright.PENANArXyduvLngj
I put the flowers on the sofa in the living room quickly, then followed Nathan outside. A comfortable silence was engulfing the air around us as the elevator was taking us to the ground flat.
704Please respect copyright.PENANAC3rCT4BxUD
Nathan motioned to his Mercedes Benz and I nodded my head slowly, pretending I'm not nervous for the day might have in store for us.
704Please respect copyright.PENANA9M2m3OSMqo
And well... umm... pretending I'm very lady-like. Which we all know I'm not.
704Please respect copyright.PENANAhmVhehmsOv
Anyway.
704Please respect copyright.PENANAxXA4387Llf
I stood in front of the car, waiting. As Nathan unlocked it, and got into the driver's seat.
704Please respect copyright.PENANAXDwMUGENId
O-kay.
704Please respect copyright.PENANA1LEIxFxF1V
I frowned and adjusted my dress from nervousness. Umm... Did he forget to open the door for me? Or he forgot something in his car and will come and open the door for me after he finds it? Or... He won't just open it for me?
704Please respect copyright.PENANAHJo0iOBaeS
He looked at me with a frown, and rolled down the passenger seat's window.
704Please respect copyright.PENANASfgLpzgPtf
"Aren't you coming in?" He asked.
704Please respect copyright.PENANAhiXu8r5JMf
"Umm... Yeah.. But... Weren't you supposed to open the door for me?" I say, and lick my lips.
704Please respect copyright.PENANAuPLJAMmixD
"Oh. Sorry. I thought you're like Rachel. A feminist, I mean. And... feminists would say: they can open the door themselves. Rach always complains when I do it for her." Nathan said in a hurry, as he got out of the car and opened the door for me.
704Please respect copyright.PENANAFL0VYKjdho
I blushed at my stupidity and smiled at the gesture.
704Please respect copyright.PENANAovM4yY8cDm
The ride to wherever we were about to go was silent. But I liked it this way.
704Please respect copyright.PENANAqk2ODFVnoV
I needed to think. I needed to try to impress Nathan. I needed to make him not regret his feelings towards me.
704Please respect copyright.PENANA65235q5r5c
I smiled to myself when I remembered how the poor guy told me his feelings.
704Please respect copyright.PENANAq1qqwB5pGz
I stared out of the window, and my smile grew wider. I know this road, and I think I kind of know where Nathan is taking me.
704Please respect copyright.PENANAyD4iCQw1cM
We're going to the beach!
704Please respect copyright.PENANAGdbAzMAquH
And I couldn't wish for a better first date than having it on a beach.
