"Where do you want to go?" he asks as he pulls out of the neighborhood.
I think for a little bit. We could go to the diner, but I don't think Danny is working tonight. I personally don't like the other's cooks burgers. They're just not the same.
"Steak and Shake?" I ask, going to the next best thing.
He smiles, probably remembering one of our first hangouts, "Perfect."
He shows me some of his new favorite songs as we drive. I love these moments with him as we share our favorite things. It's like giving the other person a little piece of you.
I order a milkshake and a burger. I'm already excited for it as we wait.
We talk about a lot of things that are going on in our lives. We talk about how life is going to change once Dream face reveals, and how different it will be when George lives with them.
As we talk, I try to push those feelings I have away just like before, but a small part of me wonders what would happen if I chose to let them in.
What would happen if I allowed myself to open that door after it's been closed for so long?
Would Nick even be open to the idea of trying again?
I think of all the subtle moments of eye contact and flirting we've had the past couple weeks. I feel like we still have the spark from so long ago. What's stopping us from trying again?
I don't think the issue would be Clay at all this time. I think it would be us getting in our heads about our last try at a relationship.
But what if we started over? What if we started from scratch and tried again? What if we did it right this time.
I guess there's only one way to find out... And that would be to try it.
Nick is explaining a very animated story about Clay when I interrupt him.
"Nick?" I say.
"Yeah what's up?" he says as he picks up a fry from his plate.
"Is this a date?" I ask. It feels like a date. We're talking like this is a date, we're flirting as if this is a date. I feel like this is basically a date without the label, so why not just label it?
He's quiet for a moment as he deliberates.
My heart pounds a little harder. I could have severe embarrassment right here if he says no.
What if he wants to just stay friends?
"Do you want it to be a date?" he asks me.
Now it's my turn to think.
Yes, I would love to try again and see where our feelings could take us. Could it end up badly? Yes.
But we won't know until we try again. We could be missing something absolutely amazing because we couldn't get out of our heads. I think it's worth a shot.
"I think I do," i smile.
"Then I'd say this is our second first date," he says, grabbing my hand. The gesture feels normal, as if our hands were made just for this sole purpose.
I think I'm going to like trying again.
