"Do you have a preferred barbecue place?" Kirstie asks the stranger she had met 15 minutes ago.
"Jimmy's."
"What?"
"It's a cafe type deal near my house."
"Okay. I'll drive you there."
"No, you're not driving there."
"Excuse me?"
"My dad always taught me a woman should never have to drive anywhere."
"Well, I am."
"If you're insisting on taking one car, let me drive. I know where it is."
"Fine."
Avi and Kirstie finally made it to Avi's car after walking away from the roller coaster. Avi opened the door for Kirstie.
"Let me guess, a woman should never have to open a car door, from your father?"
"Actually, my mother always taught me that only dumb boys didn't open car doors for girls they liked. I was 5, so I didn't want to be dumb." Avi replied smugly.
"You like me?" Kirstie smiled.
"How could I not?"
"You met me 15 minutes ago."
"You must have an alluring personality."
Kirstie smiled, and Avi jumped into his side of the car.
"Music?" Avi asked, pulling out of the amusement park. Scott and Mitch were no where to be found.
"Why not?"
"What kind of music do you listen to?"
"Whatever is in your car."
"Fine."
Avi turned on the music, and Kirstie's favorite song started playing from the speakers.
Ooooh ooooh
La ooooh oooh
Oooooh
We could be timeless
we could be classic
We could be stars
We could be rose gold, rose gold.
"I love this song!" Kirstie smiled.
"Isn't it by Pentatonix?"
"Yep, Jeremy, Alex, Travis, Alyssa, and Aleen."
After several minutes of awkward silence, the two pulled up to Jimmy's Barbecue and Grill. Avi excitedly jumped out of the car and dashed to Kirstie's side. Kirstie, however, had beat him to getting out of the car.
"Your making my mother sad."
"Well she's not here."
"How do you know she's not in the cafe?"
"Is she?"
"No."
"There you go."
---
"What are you getting?" Avi asked Kirstie, trying to break another bout of awkwardness.
"Well, you say the barbecue is really good, so I think that."
"You won't regret it."
"I can only guess what you're going to get."
"I bet."
---
"So, Kirstie, what is your phone number?" Avi
flirted.
"Why should I give you my number?" Kirstie flirted back. The two stood up from the table and pushed in their chairs.
"Because then I can talk to you, and we just ate the arguably most messiest possible meal ever."
"Most messiest?"
"You're changing the sentence."
(A/N I'm really tired I just wrote stomach instead of sentence...)
"Am I?"
"Why won't you give me your number?"
"I don't give my number to complete strangers."
"I'm not a complete stranger. You know my name is Avirel Benjamin Kaplan, you know my favorite food is barbecue."
"What if you're a crazy psycho killer?"
"I'm not."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
"310-465-1946"
(A/n that's not anyone's number I just randomly typed things)
"Excuse me?"
"My number."
"Can you just put yourself in my phone."
"Only if you do the same."
"Why should I give you my number?"
"I promise I'm not a crazy psycho killer."
"Good enough for me."
The two exchanged phone numbers and headed outside the cafe.
"So do I take you back to get your car?" Avi asked.
"No."
"Why not?"
"I'm pretty sure Scott and Mitch stole it..."
"So do I leave you on the streets, or do I take you home?"
"You can take me home."
"Where do you live?"

Avi: hello kristin
Kirstie: Avirel I swear
Avi: ooh you're fancy you use capital letters when texting
Kirstie: I enjoy proper grammar?
Avi: I can do that to
Kirstie: Why'd you text me?
Avi: I got bored
Kirstie: and?
Avi: you were nice yesterday and I was wondering if tonight we could go on another date
Kirstie: straight to the point are we?
Avi: what?
Kirstie: well yesterday wasn't exactly a date
Avi: I considered it one afterwards
Avi: so what is it?
Kirstie: sure
Avi: you were quick to say yes
Kirstie: ... I considered it a date too
Avi: see you at 8
Kirstie: wait what are we doing?
Avi: ... good question
Kirstie: I don't actually feel like doing anything
Avi: I don't either
Avi: stay in and watch movies?
Kirstie: who's house?
Avi: mine?
Kirstie: see you at 8

Kirstie knocked on Avi's door, and she heard shuffling from behind. She had worn skinny jeans and a grey t-shirt, despite Avi telling her to just wear sweatpants. Nothing fancy. She did have the audacity to straighten her hair.
And then proceed to put it into a messy bun because it looked weird with her outfit.
She liked Avi, she decided. She could talk to him about everything. It was like they had known each other for years, when in reality it was less than 36 hours.
"You look stunning," Avi smiled, opening the door. He was iron clad in sweatpants and a soft-looking sweatshirt.
"I don't know if I'd call this stunning.." Kirstie muttered, walking into the house Avi had let her in. It was big, but not giant. It was rustic, with a bit of a cabin-y feel. Kirstie loved it.
"Oh please."
"You're always stunning."
"Lets watch some movies, shall we?" Kirstie smiled.
Avi led her over to the living room, and they chose a movie from Netflix.
The giant popcorn bowl was in between the two. After all of it was gone, they seemed to be moving closer to each other very subtilely. After a while, Avi was leaning against the arm rest of the couch with his feet on the couch, too. Kirstie was cuddled into his neck in a ball, playing with the strings of his sweatshirt. Two two were watching Trolls intently. When the movie got over, it was 1 A.M.
"How many movies have we watched?" Kirstie asks.
"3?"
"I should go home," Kirstie yawned.
"It's 1, you can sleep in my bed. I'll sleep on the couch."
"1st official date and you're already inviting me to sleep at your house, smooth," Kirstie joked.
"The smoothest out of all of them."
"What's even smoother is you got me to agree except for you sleeping on the couch. It's your house, let me sleep on the couch."
"No, you're sleeping on the bed."
"If you can't have the bed then neither should I!"
"So your suggestion is for me to sleep on the other couch?"
"Yes."
"If it makes you happy, princess."
"What?"
"That's my new nickname for you."
"No."
"Fine. Kitten."
"Why Kitten?"
"Kittens everything they want because they're so cute."
"Smoothest of them all."
---
Avi got the blankets out of the closet, and set a pillow and blanket on both couches.
"Avi?"
"Yes, Kitten?"
"Can I please go to my house? I have no clothes."
"You want a pair of mine?"
"Uh.."
"I'll take that as a yes," Avi said, walking off to what Kirstie assumed to be his bedroom.
He came back seconds later carrying some dark grey sweatpants and a black t-shirt.
"These sweatpants should fit you because they're a little small for me," Avi says, handing them off.
----
"Avi?" Kirstie whispered into the darkness engulfing her. It was now 10 past 2 and she hadn't gotten a wink of sleep.
The reason why?
Avirel.
She had been up all night, thanks to him.
(A/N sorry for all the refs)
"Yes?"
"I can't sleep."
"I can't either."
"Will you hold me?"
"Now who's getting straight to the point?"
"Avi.."
"On the couch or my bed?"
"Bed.."
"Come on," he said, slowly pushing himself up. Kirstie stood up and waddled in the direction of the bedroom.
Avi and Kirstie got under the blanket, and Avi pulled Kirstie into his chest.
"I love you," he mumbled into her hair. Kirstie looked up at him.
"I love you, too."
"2nd date and I got you to say you love me."
"Straight to the point Kaplan, straight to the point."
