"I love you." Three simple words. What can they possibly do? EVERYTHING! Fortunately, if you pick the right guy it can only end one way and that is falling madly in love with each other. There's a catch though, who is the right guy? How will I meet him? When I meet him how will it's know for sure? Well to this day nobody knows, but that will change because I'm going on a quest to date every type of guy known to man; tall, short, fat, skinny, blue eyes, green eyes, "bad boy," nice boy, unique, normal, romantic, distant (well you get the idea), and note every feeling I have for the first time I meet one, to describe the feeling when you meet "Mr. Right."
-----------------------------------------------------
One day at the park I was reading "How to Pick Up a Boy for Dummies" and listening to my favorite song "Hero" by Skillet. I was determined on picking up every boy in the school and even if it meant I would be considered the whore of Cenntenial High School. When and boy came up to me; tall, semi-muscular, beautiful, blue eyes, brown hair, skinny jeans but not too skinny, navy blue top, black converse (semi big feet, maybe 11's), and an amazing smile (white teeth).
"You're cute," he mentioned breaking me from examination. "I couldn't help but notice you sitting here so lonely, and I thought you co
uld use some company."
"Haha," I laughed not knowing what to say. Damn! I knew I should have read the chapter what to say when a cute boys comes up to you. I'm screwed. But this opputunity was too good to let go and I scooted over so he could sit by me. He sat super close to me and I was thankful that I used my favorite perfume this morning, so that I wouldn't have to worry about me smelling... bad at least.
"Shawn," he said as he stuck his hand out accidentally hitting my stomach from being to close. "Oh I'm sorry maybe I should just keep it with hugs, like I used to." Without time to process what he just said, his arms were around me. Usually I would fight a stranger hugging me but this was different. This hug felt as if I had known Shawn my entire life and this was just one of the million hugs we give each other. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed his protective hands around me, I enjoyed his heat radiating off him and into me. I didn't want to let go, but if I wasted anything to happen between us, I was not going to look like a creep for my first impression. "and you?"
"Oh! Sorry, my name is maddie." I said. I was obviously still blushing from the hug and I was tempted to turn away but I knew that would be the wrong thing to do.
I noticed him looking down at the book I was reading and I immediately hid it from his sight. Now I was really embarrassed and on top of that my face had to be as red as a rose.
"You know you don't have to be reading that, with your looks every guy will be lining up to date you... Including me," whispering the last part.
"I'm sorry, I barely heard that last part. You said you wanted to date me because I was the hottest girl in the world and had the best personality?" I said with a smirk on my face.
"I'm not sure if I said that last part, but it could be true." he said while laughing. The next the next thing he said caught me off gaurd, "Will you go out with me tonight?"
"Sure," was all I could say and then, "where too?"
"I was thinking it should be a surprise." I wasn't the type for surprises, I didn't say anything though because this guy was obviously trying hard.
---------------------------------------------------------
I was extremely nervous for tonight. I must really like this guy. I took a long shower like an hour long shower, even though the water turned cold only after 10 minutes. Then I went into my closet and found a pair of black skinnies and a striped yellow shirt with a leather black coat and black converse. I decided to take the time and curl my hair which at least took two hours. Then I put on some make-up on but not too much because I hate looking fake. He said he was going to pick me up at 7:00 and it was only 6:30. Just what I need was an extra 30 minutes to get so nervous I might throw up. I need to get my mind off of Shawn and onto something productive... Video games. Alright maybe it isn't that productive but who cares? "Black Op's" just came out and it turned out to be amazing. I wasn't the typical girly girl. Most of my friends were guys and I didn't mind as long as they weren't perverted. You can life was good at the time and it was only going to get better with Shawn in it and only god knows what other boy I would date.
DING DONG!
The doorbell! Finally! As I went to the door expecting the boy that somehow makes my nerves spike, but it was someone totally different. It was my best friend Shane.
"Hey," I said a little too disappointed.
"Don't get to excited I'm here," he said sarcastically.
"Haha I'm sorry, so what's up?"
"Oh, nothing. But hey I wanted to ask you a question."
"Alright."
"Um... I don't know how to ask you this so.... can we go out tomorrow night? You know just to see what it would be like to be more than best friends."
"..."
"if your cool with it."
"..." I couldn't say anything should I turn him down and just stick with just Shawn? No! I have a project and I am detrumined to finish it.
"Maddie?"
"Oh! Sorry, ya that'd be nice." I couldn't think but how weird it was that once I start writing about Mr.Right and my search for him that boys start to ask me out.
" Oh thank god, I was worried you'd say no and we would have a uncomfortable friendship. But I just wanted to let you know that I've liked you for a while and I hope everything turns out good."
"Me too," was all I could manage. I notice the time was close to 7:00 and Shawn would be here any minute. I had to get Shane out of here.
"Well I have to finish my homework, so later."
"Bye, see you tomorrow at 8:00. Dress nicely." Shane was rich so there was no surprise that we would go on an expensive dinner. I was so shocked by what just happened and I had to sit down, but just as my butt reached the couch the doorbell rang again. This time it was Shawn.
"Hey," he said, handing me some flowers.
"Thanks," I said as I grabbed the flowers, "they're beautiful."
"mmhmmm."
"So... Are you going to tell me where we are going? Because it's driving me crazy!"
"Nope in fact you have to keep your eyes closed the whole ride. Don't want to have risk you knowing where we are going because that would ruin the whole surprise."
"Damn! Is it going to be a long drive?"
"Nope."
"Then I think I can handle that."
"Better!" With that we got into his car, which by the way was hot! He had amazing taste in music and every song that he played I loved. This date was amazing. When we got out of the car, I still had to keep my eyes closed even though I have a pretty good idea of where we were because of the noisy waves in front of me. As I was attempting to get out of the car, while keeping my closed, I felt something. It was warm and soft and it made crave more. It first started at my hand then it went down my back to my waist. I love it because it was Shawn. I felt another warm spot touch me and it was Shawn's other hand. I felt safe in his arms as he led me down the soft sand.
"Alright, you can look." Shawn said. Even though I guessed exactly where we were, something was different about this beach. It was him. He completed this place. Depite the fact that I could see, Shawn still kept his hands around me and held me close. I was falling hard for this guy. As we walked the beach there was a romantic Bonfire lit and awaiting us. Needless to say I was so excited. Right as we got to the bonfire, Shawn through me down on the grown and the next thing I notice was his soft lips were pressed against mine. But it wasn't rough it was soft and gentle. He knew his boundaries and this was only the first date. When we stopped we didn't say a word. And there was no need to speak. We just layed there and looked up at the stars. My head on his chest and his hands messing with my hair.
Out of nowhere he said, "Do you have family?" this was an odd question. I thought about how I should answer because I only had a brother. My parents and little sitter passed away in a grusome murder. It hurt to think about that day coming home from gymnastics practice to find my whole family, except my brother who was driving me home, dead in my house.
"I only have a brother," I said as a tear ran down my cheek.
"Oh! I'm sorry," he responded as he wiped the tear from my cheek and kissed my forehead. He sat up and so did I. I ended up sitting on his lap for comfort as he hugged me and I cried. After crying I knew that I should tell him what happened, there was not turning back now, and I told him everything about that day every detail, every feeling, every tear.
