The Setup

Part Twenty-Four: The Date Part Two

Now I just have to tackle the beard

L: so Jamie.

J: so Lucy.

I start to stroke his beard not really knowing what to do just yet. I step away from him and take a good look. Jamie hasn't seen himself yet.

L: what do you look like without a beard...?

J: I look like a baby

L: but like a good baby?

J: it's been a while I'm not exactly sure what I would look like to be honest

L: there just so much beard I can't tell what you'd look like but I kind of want to shave it off

J: I mean you could google what I looked like

L: Oooooo I have a better idea

J: oh boy what's your idea?

L: can I call a friend?

J: is this some game show? Am I getting punk'd?

L: noo I just need advice

J: oh man. Ok but do I look stupid?

I walk up to where he is sitting and play with his hair. He looks really hot actually but I wasn't going to say that...

L: I'm not sure if you'd like it but I think you look really handsome

J: well in that case call your friend

I take out my phone and call Jen

Jen: hey girl what's up?

L: are you alone?

J: yes im just in my office

L: ok cool cool but before I show you something don't scream or tell your mom

Jen: damn girl ok I promise

I flip the camera around and show her jamie without showing jamie what he looks like.

L: ok so should I shave off his beard or just trim it?

Jen: omg he looks amazing wtf

J: thanks jen

Jen completely ignored Jamie.

Jen: I say shave it off his face grows like no other so if he really want to regrow it than it should only take like a week or two

I look at Jamie

L: is this true?

J: I mean yeah like give it 2 or 3 weeks. Like it isn't a big deal I've had no beard before

L: omg ok thanks Jen I'll talk to you later

She says bye and I hang up

I look at Jamie again and walk up to him again. This time he's holding me in between his legs

L: what do you want? I don't want to do something that will make you unhappy

J: honestly as long as I get to spend time with you I don't care how my head looks

I look into his eyes and he wasn't joking. I guess I was looking for a little too long because Jamie put his hands around my waist.

At that moment it was as if time stopped and I couldn't breath.

Jamie stands up and he is now looking down at me. He looks into my eyes and then at my lips. I can see him moving in and then our lips collided. It was as if time stopped and we were the only ones on the earth. I can feel him pull away. My eyes were still closed for a second but I open them and look at him. I was smiling just remember his lips were on mine a second ago.
