It had been exactly two days since my second kiss with Derek and he had been avoiding me ever since. I didn’t understand why. One minute he was hot and heavy with his hands all over me and the next he was cold and pushing me away. I texted Cory that night and told him yes to the date like Derek told me and it felt wrong.
“Why do I need to dress up? It’s just dinner,” I asked Dee and Cassie who were raiding my closet as I sat on my bed covered in clothes.
“It’s a first date and you need to look hot,” Cassie pulled out a little black dress and threw it at me, “And that is smokin’ hot!”
“Plus you need to stop thinking about Derek. Bad boys are so cliché and Cory suits you way better anyway and he isn’t known around town for torturing animals,” I could hear the worry in Dee’s voice and it was frustrating. Sure Derek had acted like an ass but he didn’t torture animals.
“You know I don’t believe any of that,” I pushed the clothes off me and started to look through them. I didn’t want to dress sexy. I didn’t want to dress up at all.
“Well you should there is something off about that boy,” Dee turned up the music as Buttons by The Pussycat Dolls played.
“But he is hot in a serial killer kind of way?” Cassie laughed before she started to mimic The Pussycat Doll’s dancing which meant a lot of hair swishing and sexy chair dancing with my desk chair.
“Think I could make it as a dancer?” Cassie smirked and stuck out her chest and Dee and I laughed.
“Maybe but we still have to pick out an outfit first,” Dee jumped on the bed and started sorting through my clothes for me.
“Wear your birthday suit, he’ll love it,” Cassie twirled before she flung herself on my bed and Dee giggled.
“The only person I want to wear my birthday suit for is-” I started to talk.
“Don’t finish that! How are you and Cory meant to have a chance if you are hung up on Derek?” Dee asked.
“You really think I should just drop Derek and go for Cory? What if there’s nothing between us? I should just cancel,” I grabbed my phone which was sitting beside me but Dee snatched it before I could text Cory.
“Do not cancel. Give it a shot,” she ordered as she shoved my short purple dress into my face. It was strapless and had a sequin belt that sat a few inches under my bust. It fell in ruffled layers and covered less than 1/3rd of my thigh. It was my favourite dress although I couldn’t bend over without flashing my butt.

“Spin around,” Cassie twirled her finger in a circle.
I had gotten dressed into my short purple dress and they had done my makeup. Cory was going to be at my front door in less than five minutes and I was worried that I might end up having a good night.
I span in a circle and Dee and Cassie ooh’d and ahh’d in response and I couldn’t help but smile.
“Bellissimo signorina,” Dee giggled and clapped her hands.
“You look so hot right now. I want to suck on your face,” Cassie laughed and I couldn’t help but join in.
If only Derek could see. I kept the thought silent knowing Dee would give me a lecture.

Cory had picked me up and took me back to his place. He was cooking lasagne and garlic bread and the smell of garlic, tomato and cheese was wafting through the house making my mouth water.
He had just given me the full tour of his house and I couldn’t believe how posh looking it was. It was huge with five bedrooms, two large lounge rooms, three bathrooms, one study and one rec room. The interior was elegant and consisted of cream colours with matching furniture.
“Your house is really nice but aren’t you an only child? What’s with all the bedrooms?” I complemented as I sat at the kitchen table watching Cory as he served the food.
His parents had given us the kitchen and front of the house and I was glad it wasn’t just us in the house. I was already feeling awkward and out of place. Which I knew was stupid. Derek had told me to go on the date, the last thing I should’ve been feeling was guilt.
“Thanks. My father is an architect and my mother is a home decorator, all boring stuff if you ask me and I have no idea why they built five bedrooms,” Cory shrugged as he added a generous serving of lasagne to the plates.
“What do you want to do then?”
“I don’t know. I love sports so maybe an athlete, sports journalist or something along those lines. Maybe even own a bar or something one day. How about you?” he added the salad next.
“Well I was thinking maybe a cop like my father but I don’t know for sure.”
“So you don’t want to be a nurse like your mother?” Cory finished off with the garlic bread and placed the plate right in front of me.
“Hell no,” I replied as I grabbed the knife and fork and Cory snickered.
“I have to say changing bed pans is not the career I’m interested in either,” He smiled. It was goofy and kind of adorable.
“This smells great are you sure you cooked it?” I teased.
“Yep 100 percent sure- dig in.”
He watched me take my first bite and he looked nervous and worried at the same time, and it almost looked as if he had stopped breathing.
“Great it’s really good you can breathe now,” I assured him and he sighed in relief.
“I’m glad you like it. You do really like it right? You’re not just throwing me a bone?”
I couldn’t help but giggle. Usually in the chick flicks it was the girl who stressed out during the date not the guy, “You need to relax it really does taste great.”
“Great that’s good. I’m glad it’s good,” Cory’s face flushed and he shook his head, “I’m sorry let’s rewind to before I was making a fool out of myself.”
“I think it’s cute.”
“Like a puppy dog cute? Because that’s what I’m trying to avoid I mean who wants to have sex with a puppy dog? Not that I’m assuming you want to have sex with me. I’m just going to shut up before I ruin it completely if I haven’t already,” He looked disappointed and it was slightly entertaining. I was used to seeing the confident Cory that never lost his cool.
“You need to take a deep breath and relax,” I laughed. I couldn’t help it.
“Relax yeah good idea,” Cory nodded.
“Just pretend we’re not on a date, and that we’re just two friends having a casual dinner,” I tried to help the situation.
“I can work with that and by the way I don’t always act like a buffoon on dates,” He quickly added.
“Smooth recovery,” I smirked and chuckled. He sure knew how to pick himself back up again. Was it pathetic that I was thinking about how Derek and I hadn’t been on a single date but had nearly had sex on the bridge?
“I’m serious you aren’t like most girls.”
“That’s a compliment right?”
“Yes most of the girls I know only care about shoes and make up.”
“What do you think I care about?” I asked before eating a piece of delicious garlic bread.
“I think you care about your family and friends, a little about how you look but who doesn’t, and a lot about who you are as a person. You stand up for your beliefs even if it means making an enemy of the most popular girl in school,” Cory chuckled and I blushed. Not many guys took the time to get to know me, they only wanted me for my looks.
“What can I say. I hate people who think they are better than everybody else,” I shrugged trying to act unaffected.
Before Cory arrived at my door I had expected the date to be boring and for there to be no chemistry between us, but everything changed suddenly and Cory’s brown’s eyes were piercing through me and his smile was making me smile.
I was utterly confused. I still liked Derek but part of me was considering Cory as another option. We spent the next hour eating and talking before we finished off the night with double choc chip ice-cream and it was almost a perfect date.
“I’m glad you had fun,” Cory smiled as we stood on my front porch.
The cool night air was blowing around us, and almost forcing us together under the porch light leaving my body to tingle in anticipation.
“Well I’m glad that you’re glad that I’m glad, and that word just stopped making sense to me,” I chuckled as Cory moved closer towards me.
My heart accelerated in response and I was eagerly waiting for the goodnight kiss. It was going to be the tie-breaker. If I didn’t feel anything than I would let Cory down as graceful as possible but if it made my heart flutter than I was going to have a problem, two problems to be exact.
He moved his hand and ran a finger over my lips before he cupped my chin and pressed his lips against mine. He ran his tongue along my bottom lip asking for permission to enter and I opened my mouth- pressing against him as his tongue found mine. I was 95% sure that Belle was spying on me but I didn’t care. In that moment all I wanted was Cory and Derek had temporarily left my thoughts.
I could hear people walking their dogs along the street as well as cars passing by. A few motorists even beeped but we didn’t pull away. We were locked in our moment and in our own little world. The kiss was soft, tender and deep all at the same time.
“Ahem,” I heard my mother clear her throat and I wondered how long she had been there. I didn’t even hear the front door open.
We pulled away and I held back the scream that was trying to escape my lips. Couldn’t I just get a little peace and alone time!
“Hey Mrs Sparks. Well I better go. I’ll see you at school tomorrow,” Cory smiled at me before he rushed to his car.
“What the hell?” I hissed and made sure not to be too loud. I didn’t want Cory to witness one of our mother daughter fights.
“Well I couldn’t let you to have sex on the front porch now could I?”
“We weren’t going to have sex! Stop ruining my life!” I barged past her and marched to my room.
I had to call Dee and Cassie to tell them the gossip. I knew Dee was going to love the news and tell me to pick Cory but it wasn’t that easy. I still had feelings for Derek even if he completely pushed me away, but I also couldn’t ignore the attraction I felt towards Cory. I felt like I was stuck in a pool of sinking sand.
