Should you text should you not.. Should you text should you not..Should you text should you not..the question that has been going round and round in your head since meeting Brian Quinn yesterday.. Fuck it you think, what do I have to lose you think..
"Hey :) it's (YN) from the coffee store yesterday" you send staring at the blue text box on your phone.. Okay so maybe I shouldn't have text, what if he's forgotten who you are or doesn't want to hear from you *PING* the sound knocked you out of the day dream you were in, glancing at the phone in your hand "hey pretty girl, was hoping you would text ;)" you let go of the breath you weren't even aware you were holding.

You had been texting Brian non-stop since the day after your chance meeting and had decided after both having the day off that you guys would meet up again.
He had text you yesterday asking if you guys were still on for your "date" today and his use of the word "date" had changed the game, before that text you were calm and collected and looking forward to having a drink and some dinner with him, before that text it was just as friends.. Now.. Now he's changed the game.. Now it's a date which ultimately puts more pressure on you.. You had debated with yourself whether to conjure up an excuse and cancel on him but you were curious as to how it would go so you had cautiously confirmed.

He said to meet him at the coffee shop in town at 6, it's 4:30 and you're currently on the verge of tears trying to find an outfit and decide what hairstyle to wear, you don't want to be over dressed and look like you're trying to hard but you also don't want to be under dressed and look like an idiot.. You settle on a grey pair of tight skinny jeans a white tank top and red and black plaid shirt, you straighten your (HC) hair and apply some light make up, after an hour you're okay with your appearance.

5:30 and you're in your car in your way to the coffee shop, you can hardly drive with the butterflies that are swarming in your stomach, but you want to be there first so you don't look silly searching the place for Brian.
You get to the coffee store and thankfully Brian isn't here yet, you thank god and sit close to the front of the store waiting.

5:45 and Brian walks through the door looking amazing, you can't help but stare and you take in his whole appearance as he looks around the store, black jeans that cling to his legs in all the right places, dark grey shirt and white undershirt, your eyes move upto his face and you blush as you realise he's staring right at you, he smirks and walks over to the table you're at "hey pretty girl, fancy meeting you here" he jokes, face forming that mind blowing smile of his. You smile shyly blushing slightly " you look beautiful (YN)" he adds with a genuine smile on his face. Your face reddens as he leans down and places a soft kiss on your cheek before sitting across from you. "You look good Brian" you manage to spit out through your embarrassment at his recent compliments.

You chat for what seems like hours, laughing, joking and just genuinely getting to know each other, until a waitress arrived at your table to inform you the shop is closing, you blush as you never quite realised that you two had become the only two left in the store you glance at Brian and see red staining his cheeks as well. You smile and stand from your spot, Brian follows suit and leads you to the door. He walks you to your car and stops beside you, turning to face him to feel a pang of sadness as you're not quite ready for the date to end, as if reading your mind Brian speaks up "would you like to go for a walk with me? It's still early and I'm quite enjoying your company" you look at his face, the confidence in his tone is not matched by the shy expression on his face, you hesitate before answering which had a worried expression making its way to Brian's features.. You nod slowly smiling up at him.. The grin your answer receives has you melting to a pool at his feet.
Brian laces his fingers through yours and tugs gently forward urging you to walk with him.

Brian's PoV
I don't know where that boost of confidence came from considering what a blundering mess I've been this whole night, but I wants ready to say goodbye just yet, it felt like we had only just started the date and then it was ending I needed to extend it..
I felt her thumb stroke over mine and I glanced down to the intertwined hands between us and smiled, my stomach was in knots at how nervous I felt, just the simple touch of her hand in mine and how it fit so perfectly between the spaces of my fingers it just.. I couldn't help but feel happy. This beautiful girl was giving me the time of day.. I had to make the most of this chance.

Your PoV
Walking with Brian, talking about everything and nothing was the most perfect end to the night you could have imagined, again it felt like you had been walking and talking for hours when you realised you were back at your car.. It was time to say goodbye it was getting cold and it was getting late, the date was over and it saddened you but it was the most amazing night of your life so far.. When you reached your car Brian pulled you in for a long hug gently kissing your cheek before pulling away completely and opening your car door for you.. You sat in the driver side and looked up to the man standing outside the door smiling "goodnight Brian, I had a lovely time"  you smiled up at him shyly " goodnight (YN), I did too, give me a call anytime." He replied before closing your door and waving as you drove off.

You couldn't help but smile all the way home, going over everything that had been said tonight, you just felt such a connection when you were around him, he made you feel safe and considering your past relationships that's exactly what you needed.
*ping*
You're drawn out of your day dream by a text message on your phone you glance down not wanting to take your eyes completely off the road
It's from Brian "miss you already pretty girl ;)"
You couldn't help but smile to yourself, he was such a cute big bear.
You replied ":o is Brian Q Quinn a big softy? ;)"
*ping*
Another text
"You bet your ass I am, but shhh, our secret :p How about drinks on Tuesday? :) .."
You typed a quick response "sounds good to me babe"

You went to bed that night smiling, what a perfect first date.
