True Beauty

Chapter 14: Date

Pretty soon it became normal to see Damian and Lindsey together. He would walk her to classes, sit with her at lunch most days, and always wait with her until Samuel came to pick her up after school.

And with how popular Damian was, they soon became the 'It' couple of the school. Everyone wanted a relationship like theirs, wanted to be as sickly cute as the two of them. Some envied their relationship, either wanting Damian or Lindsey to be theirs. But the couple ignored those people.

Lindsey's friends were slowly opening up to Damian. The group was still wary of him, because of his reputation, and knowing of him for years. Lindsey knew this and didn't push either side to do anything they were uncomfortable with. But the group saw how happy Lindsey was and couldn't help but be happy with her.

The winter months went by, along with the freezing temperatures and snow. Spring was right around the corner when a realization came to Damian.

"I haven't taken you on a date, yet, haven't I?" Damian asked one day while walking Lindsey to class hand in hand.

Lindsey stopped in the middle of the hallway causing Damian to stop when feeling his girlfriend wasn't moving next to him.

"I guess I haven't realized," Lindsey said. "We hang out every week because of the promise you made me at Homecoming, but those haven't been dates."

"I thought so," Damian said. "How about this Friday I take you on our first official date?"

Lindsey stopped breathing for a second. After months of dating Damian, she still couldn't believe it was all real. She still felt like the girl in New York who never thought about boys or dating.

"A real date? What would we do? Where would we go?" questions spilled out of Lindsey's mouth without warning. "Are we supposed to k-"

She cut herself off. Even after months of being boyfriend and girlfriend, the two hadn't had their first kiss yet. Sure they kiss each other's cheeks and hands and foreheads and sometimes noses, but they haven't actually kissed each other yet. She didn't want to ask Damian in fear that he'll think that's all she thinks about.

Sure, Lindsey has thought after a kiss on the hand or forehead what his lips would feel like against hers, but never has she been brave enough to be the first to make the move. Her eyes moved from his eyes to his lips before quickly moving to whatever was going on in the hallway around them.

Damian raised an eyebrow as she cut herself off. He tugged on her hand so they could continue on their way to class.

"There's nothing to worry about. I'll plan it all. I'll have Alfred drive me to pick you up and take us," Damian said calmly, knowing Lindsey's heart was probably beating faster than a hummingbird's wings.

"Are you sure?" Lindsey asked.

"Tt. Have some faith in me, Lindsey," Damian said. "I've known you long enough to know what you like and dislike. I wouldn't plan anything you won't like. I also just want to spoil my girlfriend."

Lindsey couldn't help but have blush rush to her cheeks. It was something Damian loved about Lindsey, how some of the thing he would say or do would make the pink appear in her cheeks, making her even cuter to him.

"I'm trusting you Damian," Lindsey said. "Just tell me how I'm supposed to dress, I don't want to over or underdress."

"You'll look perfect in anything," Damian said smirking down at her.

"Shut up," Lindsey said as more blush rushed to her face.

It was Friday and Lindsey was getting ready for her first date with Damian.
