Chapter 7: the date

Arden

I risked it all emailing him like that. As I waited for him my nervousness grew. He might not show up. He doesn't have to. So when he walked in a part of me was surprised.

He looked a mess but I was okay with it. Like he threw everything on and ran out. He wore a scarf and a black coat his hair was also longer. That made him look cuter and he walked right passed me. I watched him walk around in panic. At that moment I realized he wanted to see me.
"Oliver." I called out.
We sat together in silence and I was okay with it because he probably liked the quiet. He was also probably quite because I told him he has a great voice. He finally broke the silence. "Well it's snowing outside."
"I guess it's about time it does."
He kept playing with his fingers and staring outside. I chose to be blunt to him cause I knew if I was not he would run off. "Do you have a girlfriend?"
"No we broke up today." He was still not looking at me. I was just happy he was single. Why you have Brad. I called a waiter over to our table." May I please have a cup of green tea please and a slice of cheese cake."
Oliver looked at our waiter. "I'll have a coffee with no sugar or milk and chocolate cake." He took out he wallet.I put my hand over his." It's okay I'll pay I asked you out here tonight and it's late." He pulled his hand away which made me slightly upset. "Sure." He mumbled. The waiter walked off with our orders at hand. "Place is nice." I spoke wanting to hear his voice answer me. "It is a bit to bright for me." He said. He cleared his throat. "I'm having a showcase this weekend I would like it if you came." He was absolutely adorable. The light redness on his cheeks clearly showed how he felt. "I'll be there anyway Barry invited me but I was hoping to be your plus one." He blushed even harder. "Sure I'll pick you up at your place." I smiled and leaned into my hands. " I'll meet you there." I smiled. I did not want him to see the kind of life I was living knowing him he would run. His coffee and my tea arrived just on time. I wanted to ask him alot of questions but I did not want to scare him away. "Can I tell you about myself." He drank his coffee without really giving me an answer. " I have two dogs. They are really cute too. Two girls Stan and Baba." He looked at me. "Cool." I watched him eat his cake and drink his coffee. He looked slightly happy. God he was handsom the way he bit the cake and wiped his mouth. We sat there for some time. I was the only one talking. By the end of the date we walked out together and we paused because it was snowing harder than we both thought.
"I guess I'll see you this weekend." I spoke.
"Sure." He smiled just a little.
He walked off in a different direction then me. I began to walk to my car when I heard the clicking sound of a camera.
Oh shit the paparazzi.
