Lost Love

Chapter 3

We got to a restaurant not too far from school and got out of our different cars. Before coming I had already texted Em for the rundown of all that happened today; being the cheery girl she is, she told me to have fun with 'Mr hot-pants' as she put it and give her the juicy details later totally forgetting the part about where I spent school hours in the clinic. Just as I was about to text her again notifying her about getting to our destination, Chris came over to me to lead me into the restaurant. He held my hand and we walked together towards the door.
OK just pause there for a minute---- seriously????? Are you for real? Christian just held my hands!!!!! I felt like screaming but I would look like a mad person; that didn't stop my insides from going all mushy though just thinking about the hottest guy in college plus he's a football player and my crush taking me out for lunch. I feel so special.
Waking up from my dramatic internal monologue I find that we are already heading over to a table. The place looked nice and cozy; not too expensive and not to cheap either. A waiter came to our table with the menus. I am not really the eating-outside-the house type and the other delicacies on the menu sounded strange so I just went for Fries with Chicken coupled with Lemonade and Chris said he'll have the same thing with me but replaced my lemonade with soda.
When the waiter left, I felt so shy with nothing to say to him. Every second without conversation felt like hours and when I finally mustered the courage to look up at him, I saw him looking at me smiling. My blush crept up my cheeks very fast and I am so sure he would think that is my permanent face colour. I quickly looked down and then I heard him chuckling.
"You look so cute when you blush" he said still chuckling
I didn't know what to say to that but just muttered a quick thanks
"Before our food comes, let's make small talk after all that's why we came here isn't it? To get to know each other more right?" He said
"Right"
I looked at him waiting for him to initiate the talk and I think he was waiting for me to also say something because he kept quiet too.
Later seeing he wasn't going to say anything I asked him to tell me about himself.
He obliged and I learnt a lot of things about him during our lunch 'date'. Turns out that he's two years older than I am; he's 21 and he's studying business to assist his dad with his company when he's older. He asked me some things about myself too and I can proudly say we are friends- I think. Lunch passed by quickly and he escorted me home but not before exchanging numbers.

                       --------------------------

As usual, my dad wasn't around and the house was just empty and lonely so I just decided to call Em to come over. She gladly jumped at the opportunity to hear the juicy details of my lunch date with Chris and told me she's coming over. I ended the call and chuckled at her excitement over nothing.
I changed into a tank top and my baggy sweat pants before going into the kitchen to get some popcorn ready for Em's interrogation. As soon as the popcorn was done microwaving, I heard the door opening and figured it must be Em.
"Char, stop whatever you are doing and spill the beans. I am dying to hear some x-rated scenes" she shouted from the living room.
Just great...I thought to myself and in a clearer voice I replied her from the kitchen, "there are no x-rated scenes Em, it was just a lunch date remember"
Knowing Em would never drop the topic, I sighed in defeat and paddled into the living room with the bowl of popcorn to endure hours of non-stop interrogation.
Plopping down on the couch, she attacked me with the first question totally catching me by surprise.
"So did you guys kiss?"
I almost dropped the bowl of popcorn, thankfully I caught it in time before it fell.
"What?" I asked completely stupefied. Like seriously who asks such question after I just told her specifically that it was just a lunch date.
"I said did u guys-
" I heard your question clearly so no need to repeat it" I said completely cutting her off.
"Well then answer the question, I'm waiting" she said in a singsong voice that was annoying a bit. When she saw I wasn't responding she added " Char come on, I don't have all day, its a school night meaning we have school tomorrow plus I have a date with my boyfriend, Dan tomorrow after school so I have to choose the perfect outfit and we still have-
"No we didn't" I said efficiently ending her rambling.
"Really? So what did you guys do on this your so called 'date'? She asked like she couldn't believe we didn't do anything.
I refuse being subjected to more torturing questions from her and I still needed to read to make up from me missing all my classes today so I just told her everything that happened from the moment I left the school clinic to when he escorted me back home.
When I was done, she complained about me being boring but I just brushed her off and finally after telling me to dress well for tomorrow she left the house.
With a sigh, I stretched and headed upstairs to my room to actually study but just ended up thinking about CHRIS before falling asleep.
