"Taking care of the people I love." He told me.
I blushed and looked away from him.
"That was cute, don't look away." He said with a breathy chuckle at the end.
I smiled and looked back at him.
"Do you want to go on a date with me?" He asks me, blushing.
I nodded my head while answering,
"Yeah."
"Friday, this week, the twenty first at seven?" Hunter asked me.
"Yeah, sounds good." I said still blushing and smiling.
"I'll pick you up." He told me.
I nodded my head and turned back to the pond.
The ducks are so peaceful.
And I just got a date with the bad boy, the one and only, Hunter Cohen.
~~~
"Lilli!" I yelled as I walked in my house.
I had to tell her everything.
The boys yelled at me from the kitchen,
"Everything good?"
"Yup!" I yelled back and I ran up the stairs.
I ran into her room and sure enough, she was laying on her bed with headphones in.
I jumped on her.
"Ow! Kay! What are you doing?" Lilli exclaimed.
I took a deep breath, not wanting to talk so fast that Lilli couldn't hear me.
"I went and talked to Hunter at the park, the whole thirty minutes that I was driving, I was really scared and worried but when I got there I was even more worried. So when he pulled up my heart was pounding and we both got out of our cars and went to look at the pond. He was explaining that I didn't need to say anything and that he shouldn't have put pressure on me to talk to him, which he didn't. I shut him up by holding his hand and we shared that moment by just standing there and now I have a date this Friday." I said, kind of quickly.
Lilli's jaw dropped before she squealed and pulled me into a tight hug.
"Yes!" Lilli exclaimed.
"I'm so happy!" Lilli went on.
I smiled and hugged back.
Lilli is the perfect best friend to have, she just listened to me ramble on about my day and she didn't interrupt.
"I am going to help you get dressed, do your hair, makeup, although you don't need any!" Lilli says with enthusiasm.
I laugh and she joins me.
"Is there any single, cute boys in the gang for me?" Lilli questions between giggles.
I chuckle.
"I bet there is." I told her and we began to laugh once again.
After a little while of laughing, we made our way into my room to look at my clothes.
Lilli insisted.
"Lilli, we still have three days! Four if you include today, although it's already six o'clock." I informed her.
"I don't care. Did he say what you should wear?" Lilli asked, kind of ignoring everything I had just said.
"No, I was going to ask on Friday." I answered.
Lilli sighed.
"Fine, we will do it then." She said, disappointed.
"Sounds good to me." I said.
Lilli squealed and walked out of my room, closing the door behind her.
I let out a long breath as I walked over to my bed and collapsed onto it.
I have a date with Hunter Cohen.
What if things go terribly? What if I say something ridiculously stupid?
What if I look terrible? What if it starts to rain and my makeup smears?
I began to get worried. Real worried.
I'm excited and happy, but I don't want anything to go wrong.
What am I supposed to tell Noah and Kyle?!
Oh god! I completely forgot about them!
Hunter is picking me up! From my house!
What if they don't approve? What if they tell me I'm not allowed to go on this date!?
I groaned mentally.
Maybe it won't be so easy to just go on a date.
The movies show different! They make it seem easy.
Easy my ass, this is one of the most difficult things in the world.
I need to dance.
One of my favourite things in the world is dancing.
I love pirouettes, flips, arials, jumps, everything. And I have been told that I have quite the gift of dance.
It helps me calm down.
I lazily crawled off of my bed and over to my door.
I opened it up and went down stairs with my phone in my hand.
Everyone else was in the living room on their phones.
I made my way to the backyard.
We have a Bluetooth speaker system outside that we can just connect our phones to. It's really handy when we just want to listen to some music.
I connect my phone and I wait for the connected sound to echo through every speaker.
Once it happens, I go to my dancing playlist and I chose a song.
I chose "DJ Got Us Falling in Love" by Usher.
🎶 Usher (yeah man)
So we back in the club
With our bodies rockin' from side to side (side to side)
Thank God the week is done
I feel like a zombie goin' back to life (back to life)
Hands up, and suddenly we all got our hands up
No control of my body
Ain't I seen you before?
I think I remember those eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes
'Cause baby tonight,
The D-J got us falling in love again
Yeah, baby tonight,
The D-J got us falling in love again
So dance, dance,
Like it's the last,
Last night of your life, life
Gon' get you right
'Cause baby tonight,
The D-J got us falling in love again
Keep downing drinks like there's
No tomorrow there's just right
Now, now, now, now, now, now
Gonna set the roof on fire
Gonna burn this mother fucker
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Hands up, when the music drops
We both put our hands up
Put your hands on my body
Swear I seen you before
I think I remember those eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes
'Cause baby tonight,
The D-J got us falling in love again
Yeah, baby tonight,
The D-J got us falling in love again
So dance, dance,
Like it's the last,
Last night of your life, life
Gonna get you right
'Cause baby tonight,
The D-J got us falling in love again
Usher, don't lie
Hear no evil, or speak no evil, or see no evil
Get it baby? Hope you catch that like T-O
That's how we roll, my life is a movie, and you just TIVO
Mami got me twisted' like a dreadlock
She don't wrestle but I got her in a headlock
Yabadabadoo make her bedrock mami on fire, (psh) so red hot
Bada bing bada boom Mr. Worldwide as I step in the room
I'm a hustler baby, but that you knew, and tonight it's just me and you
'Cause baby tonight, the D-J got us falling in love again
Yeah, baby tonight, the D-J got us falling in love again
So dance, dance, like it's the last, last night of your life, life
Gon' get you right
'Cause baby tonight, the D-J got us falling in love again
Yeah, baby tonight, the D-J got us falling in love again
So dance, dance, like it's the last, last night of your life, life
Gonna get you right
'Cause baby tonight, the DJ got us falling in love again
Yeah, thank you D-J🎶
After I was finished, I was sweating and I felt good.
But then I came to realization about something.
Hunter has seen me at my worst, and yet he still likes me. He will still like me at my best.
