When I got off work, I was so excited to see Owen. I didn't even go home to get an extra pair of clothes.
I walk into his apartment, feeling giddy. I look on his couch to see him sitting there.
He looked over and it's like his whole face lit up. "Hi. How was work?" He asked as I sat next to him on the couch.
I lay down and put my head on his lap. "It was very tiring. Are you feeling any better?" I asked.
He started running his fingers through my hair. "I am now." I smile as I look at the tv.
"Hey, O?" I speak up after a small silence. "Hey, Tate." He echoed. "Can I steal some of your clothes?" I ask.
He laughed to himself. "Of course, Princess." I sit up so I can grab it. I quickly kiss his cheek as I get up.
I go into his room and change into a pair of his sweats and his t-shirt. I go back into his living room and sit back down.
"Thank you for letting me borrow these." He looked over at me as he pouted towards me.
Did I do something? "Are you okay?" I ask worriedly. "No, you're sitting too far away." He frowned.
More butterflies erupted in my stomach. I scoot up and lean my head on his shoulder.
I wrap my arm around his as I lace our fingers together. We were full on cuddling on the couch.
I really enjoyed it though, like it made me feel safe. "Do you feel better now?" I ask.
"Much better." I could feel him kiss my head. We stayed like this for the rest of the night.
But I ended up falling asleep on his shoulder. I could feel myself wake up when he picked me up.
I opened my eyes and looked around. "O, where are we going?" I ask. He shushed me as he gently put me on his bed.
"I didn't mean to wake you. I'm sorry, Tate." He apologized. I scrunch my nose as he laid in bed with me.
"I don't like it when you call me that." I admit. He laughs at me. "You don't like it when I call you your name?"
I scooted towards him and put my head on his chest. I could hear his heartbeat and feel his body head.
"No. I like princess better. Or baby." I admit. He placed his hand on my back and started rubbing it.
"Get some rest, baby." I held onto his body tighter as I fell asleep in his arms.
When I woke up the next morning, we were in a different position.
His arms were wrapped around me tightly and his chest was pressed against my back.
"Good morning, beautiful." He hummed in my ear. I turn so I could be facing him.
"Good morning, handsome." His face turned red. I love the affect on him.
I give him one compliment and he's blood red. But then again, I'm the same exact way with him.
We both chuckled as we looked at each other. "Hungry? I'll make food." I offer.
"Come on, let's go make it together." We both get up to make food.
We were making french toast, bacon, pancakes, and sausage. It honestly smelt and looked really good.
When finished, we made our plates and sat down. Cruzy stayed at his feet, begging for food.
"What are you doing tonight?" Owen asked making conversation. I thought about if I was off or not.
"Nothing that I know of." I wondered what he had planned. "Why?" I question.
I could see nerves on his face. I was starting to get worried, is he having a panic attack?
"How would you feel about going on a date tonight?" He asked. A smile grew on my face when he asked.
"I would love to." His face lit up whenever I said yes. How could I say no? He's everything I've every wanted.
Funny, witty, sweet, caring, protective. Him being good looking is just a plus.
He sat there for a moment, smiling to himself. "You better be ready by six thirty." He told me when I finished my food.
"I better go get ready then." I half tease, half flirt. "Wear something nice. Like something fancy." He tells me.
"Whatever you say." I leave his apartment to get to my own. On the outside I look calm.
But I'm freaking out. I had no idea what I was going to wear. When I got home, I started looking through my closet.
What the hell do I wear? "Yo, what the fuck are you doing?" Maya asked walking in.
"I'm going on a date with Owen. And I have no idea what to wear." She squealed.
It made me jump when she did that. "Really? What did he tell you to wear?" She asked. She came over and looked at my closest.
"Something fancy." I tell her. Her eyes started scanning my closet. Her eyes landed on something and she pulled it out.
It was a wine colored dress. I can't believe I forgot about it. "Thank you so much." She smiled at me.
I quickly shower and make sure everything is shaved. I wrap my hair up and put the dress on.
I sit in front of my vanity to do my makeup. I make sure that it isn't too much. I dry my hair and curl it loosely.
I look at myself in the mirror. I had the red dress on that shows my curves. It's cut low too and show my cleavage.
It was spaghetti strapped and went to my mid thigh. I had on matching heels with my mum's necklace.
"Damn, girl. You look hot." Maya complimented as she walks in. I nervously laugh as I look at her.
"You think it's too much?" I ask worriedly. She shook her head towards me.
She laid on my bed as I grabbed my stuff. "No. But he might get turned on." She teased.
I make a face as she laughs. "It's true. One minute you're making out, the next you're getting poked." I threw a pillow at her to shut her up.
"Fuck off." I laugh. As we talk, we heard a knock on the door. "Go get your man." We both walked to the door.
When I open the door, my breath caught in my throat. He had on dress pants with a dress shirt. His hair was pulled back.
He looked good. "You look gorgeous." He complimented. I blush as I look at him. "So do you." I tell him flustered.
He laughed a little. "I look gorgeous?" He asked with a hint of laughter. I rolled my eyes as I laughed.
"You two are cute, but you better not miss your dinner." Maya spoke up. "Bloody oath. I'll see you later."
We walk out the door as we go towards his Tesla. "I didn't know you could dress so nice." I tease him.
"You too when you're not stealing my clothes." He joked. I laughed as we got to his Tesla.
He opened the door for me which made me smile. I quickly thank him as he closes the door.
"You like me stealing your clothes though." I tell him when he sits down. He smiles as he thinks about it.
"Bloody oath." He agrees. As we drive, he had one hand on the wheel. With the other hand, he reached down for mine.
He laces our fingers together which makes me smile. We talk the whole way though ride there.
We go inside the fancy looking restaurant causing me to look around. The lights were dim but you can still see.
The hostess took us to our table which was secluded. We thank her as we sit down.
We started looking through their menu. "Hi, my name is Josh and I'll be serving you two tonight. What can I get you to drink?"
We both order water as he writes it down for us. "Let me go get that for you." He smiled over at us.
He walked away, leaving us by ourselves. When he came back, we order our food. He takes our menus and walks away again.
"Your birthday is coming up." I make conversation. "What were you going to do?" I was curious knowing he was turning twenty one.
"I was thinking about going out with Jeremy and Charlie but I didn't know." He shrugged.
I looked at him softly. "If you wanna go to the bars, you can." He sighed.
"I know, but I wanted to hang out with you." I smile at him. I got an idea that could work.
"Why don't I spend the day with you, and that night you can go out." I suggest.
He nods his head like he agrees. "As long as I get to see you, I'm perfect." He flirted.
The food here is super good. We ate our food and talked. It didn't feel like a date.
We just made jokes the whole time. When we got done, we payed for our food. Well, he payed.
As we walked out, we heard music from the back of the restaurant. We walk back there, to see someone playing the piano.
I look at him to see he was holding his hand out. "May I have this dance?" He sounded seductive.
I placed my hand in his hand as he pulled me to him. We started slow dancing to the music.
The only light was from the moon. "You look great tonight." He complimented.
"You do too." I compliment back. The light from the moon was hitting on his face just perfect.
As we danced, we stared at each other. He spun me around which made me giggle.
He pulled me back in and dipped me. As he held me down, he stared in my eyes.
My heart was pounding in my chest. He was smiling towards me.
And in that moment, I felt like his own happiness was more important than anything.
And that's what I want to do, bring him happiness.
