After getting into a rather fancy Mercedes, Jack turned on the radio.
"So, where are we going?", I asked him nervously. I mean, I should be nervous. This is my first date! Ever!
"That's a secret.", he replied.
"You could be taking me to my death for all I know!", I tell him, hoping that he will just tell me where we're going.
"Oh darn! You figured out my plan!", Jack said jokingly.
"Just tell me. Please.", I begged.
"Nope.", he replied with a grin.
Why must he be so cute yet so unbelievably stubborn?
I guess I'll just have to wait.

About a half hour later, after a lot of talking, the radio announcer announced something quite hysterical.
"This next song goes out to all those lovers out there. I give you "Kiss the Girl", from The Little Mermaid.", the radio announcer said cheerfully.
Oh. My. Goodness.
"There you see her
sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say
But there's something about her
And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl.", The radio sang.
I looked over at Jack. He looked so alarmed. It was hilarious. I was trying not to laugh.
"Sing with me now
Sha la la la la la
My oh my
Look at the boy so shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl...."
Jack was redder than a tomato.
"Sha la la la la la
Don't be scared
You've got the mood prepared
Go on and kiss the girl
Sha la la la la la
Don't stop now
Don't try to hide it how
You want to kiss the girl"
I fought to keep a straight face as Jack blushed uncontrollably.
"Sha la la la la la
The music play
Do what the music say
You got to kiss the girl
You've got to kiss the girl
You wanna kiss the girl
You've gotta kiss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl."
I couldn't hold back my laughter.
I laughed uncontrollably as Jack looked as if he was about to melt from embarrassment.
I sang along to the song teasingly.
He looked so mortified.
Then Jack finally joined in,
"Sha la la la la la
Don't be scared
You've got the mood prepared
Go on and kiss the girl,"
We sang The Little Mermaid song together until it ended.
We erupted into laughter together.
It was hilarious seeing Jack singing a Disney song. But it was even more hilarious that he knew the lyrics from memory. He must have listened to that song a lot.
The ironicalness of situation was also comical.
But this little mermaid didn't get her kiss.
Which was surprisingly disappointing.
I would have never thought that, I, Kendall Hanks, the used to be nobody nerd, who never had a crush, or boyfriend, or any type of love experience or desire of one, wanted to be kissed.
