The Date

💫💫💫Chapter 15💫💫💫

ZEPHYR'S P.O.V.

"Zephyr!" I hear a voice call out, I turn around.

"Hey El." I say. Today, her long, usually straight red hair is curly.

"I'm excited about the movie. Which one are we seeing?" she asks.

"I don't know, is there one that you wanted to see?" I ask as we walk to our last class, art.

"Um, Frozen?" she suggests "I know it's a kid movie, but it looked cute."

"Sure," I say, holding the door open for her. We are partners in art, so we sit together and share the same supplies. I have to admit, she does look hot today. She's wearing a black sweater with a golden cross on it and those jeans with the bedazzling on the back pockets.

"Thank you," she says, walking through the door and to the back where our seats are. We arrive a few minutes early and Mrs. Chain, the art teacher isn't in the room yet. El and I both take out seats.

"Uh, you look nice today." I say.

"Thanks, you do too." she smiles. She's referring to my blue t-shirt, leather jacket, and blue jeans.

"Thanks." I say. Then, I grab her hand and intertwine our fingers. She looks down at our hands and smiles and I smile back at her. After class, we leave together with my arm around her shoulder. As we're leaving the school, Matt comes up to me.

"Hey man." he says, we do our handshake.

"What's up?" I ask.

"I need to talk to you." he says.

"When?" I ask.

"Text me when you two are done." Matt says.

"You got it." I say. I lead Eloise to my motorcycle.

"I've never ridden a motorcycle before." she says nervously.

"Don't worry." I say, putting the helmet on her head "I haven't crashed yet."

"Are you sure it's safe?" she asks.

"Yea, you'll be fine babe." I say, climbing on. "Get in back of me and hold on." She gets on and hugs my torso tightly. We take off.

"Oh my gosh!" she squeals.

"Don't worry, you're fine." I say. She lays her head on my back as we drive down the main roads. We go to the Regal Theatres right next to Arbor Place Mall. I park my bike and get off.

"Oh my gosh." she says again, as I help her off.

"Did you like that?" I ask.

"That was awesome!" she cheers. I laugh a little bit.

"Glad you had fun," I laugh again "Let's go." We walk up to the ticket booth and I buy tickets for us. We also get one medium popcorn and two soft drinks. I get Root Beer and she gets Sprite. I hold her hand as we go into the movie. It's been out for a while now, so the theatres aren't that crowded. We find a spot right in the middle and sit down.

"So," she says, while the previews are playing "Why'd you move from Kentucky?"

"Oh, well" my dad hits me and people were starting to find out "The job here pays better than the old one."

"Oh, what's the job?" Eloise asks.

"My dad, his fiancé, and I all work the Denverson Stables. His fiancé, Kimberly works in the main house with cooking and maid work, dad takes care of horses, and I exercise them." I say.
