The Road Taken

Chapter 2

Our first official date happened a week after the party that changed my life. He picked me up and even though I was extremely nervous and the car drive to the movies was extremely quiet, the night was amazing. We ended up watching a horror, which I hated but he enjoyed, not sure if he enjoyed the movie or the way I was constantly trying to hide my face every time the killer walked in, he just laughed to wrapped his arm around me, allowing me to hide in the arms. 

After the movie had ended, we took a walk to a pizzeria around the corner and sat and talked. He asked about my favourite movie and the types of music that I enjoyed, I was surprised to hear that we actually had a lot in common. I loved the sound of his voice and could sit and listen to him all night. As we walked back to his car, we bumped into some of his friends and before I could hide away, he called over to them. There were 3 of them, Hayden, Liam and Chase, they were all a part of the football team and they were all surprised to see him with me and just when I thought that this was night was going to end in disaster. He said, “hey guys, I’m sure you all know Olivia. They were just as shocked as I was by the intro, all obviously thinking what I was doing with Logan. Then Hayden spoke up, “So what are you guys up to?” I am sure he was just asking because he was interested in what he was doing with me. He spoke up before I could break the silence, “We are on a date” I was shocked, but more than me, his friends were in shock. He kept the chat short and then we end our good byes. 

In the car, we didn’t speak much about it. He put the radio on to break the silence. And as we pulled up to my house, I broke the silence that was killing me already by now. “I am sorry Logan, and it’s okay if you don’t…” and before I could finish he interrupted me, “What are you talking about, I had a great time and I am sorry if I assumed this was a date when you felt it wasn’t…” before he could carry on, I kissed him and in that moment, nothing else matter but he and I. We were sitting in his car for what felt like forever, which I didn’t mind, but apparently my dad did. He came out knocking on the window, letting me know that my night was now over. I got out and ran in behind my dad, before I could show Logan how I was dying of embarrassment. 

I got inside and my dad didn’t say a thing to me, I walked upset towards my bedroom and fell on my bed, remembering the amazing night and just as I was about to fall asleep, I got a message from Logan

Thanks for the great night.

Can’t wait to see you Monday.

Sweet Dreams Beautiful.

Logan xx

And with a stupid smile on my face, replied,

Missing you already xx

And with that I was hooked. 

The weekend went by fairly quick and Monday morning I couldn’t wait to see him again and when I arrived at school, to see him standing against my locker, I knew this was going to be amazing day.
