It was the day of Denver and I's first date. I was so nervous that I couldn't decide what to wear. Rummaging through my closet, I began to become frustrated. Why couldn't I just freaking decide on what to wear? I pouted leaning against my wall. Why am I getting so worked up over this? It's not even really a date, it's more like two friends are just going out to the movies to hang out with each other.
Realizing how late it was getting I rushed into the shower to get ready. Even though the movie starts at 5, I know it's gonna take me a while to get there because the movie theater is so far away from my house. I don't mind though, it just means I have a reason not to take an hour-long shower. 'Hmmm, what should I wear?' I thought to myself as I stepped back into my room, the cold wood made my toes curl on contact. I don't want to wear my usual because we're going out. However, I don't want to be too dressy either because we're just going to the movies. Maybe if I didn't have to guess so much with this guy, everything would be so much easier. Giving up on deciding my outfit for myself, I decided to FaceTime Myke since mommy was out with Percy.

"So which outfit should I wear?" I asked Myke as I held out two different outfits for her two chose from.
"Wear the black velvet shoulderless shirt and black jeans you look good in those." She complimented which created a small blush on my cheeks.

"Are you excited about your date?" she asked putting emphasis on the word date as she made fun of me.
"Shut up!" I giggled at her teasing. "I told you it isn't a date we're just going as friends," I said as it somewhat hurt to say that it wasn't a date. I honestly don't know why I want it to be a date so bad. After all, we've only known each other for a few weeks.
"Mhmm whatever you say, sis," pausing she stared at her phone for a little before speaking again. "Look, I gotta go FaceTime Derik."
"Why do you still bother with him?" I said rolling my eyes. She acts like she doesn't want to be with him but still stays. I don't understand why, but then again I've never actually been in a real relationship before so I just stay quiet when it comes to things like that.
"I know, I know, but girl, you know how it is," she smiled in an attempt to try and put my mind at ease. "I really have to go, princess. Have fun baby girl, be careful," she said before hanging up.

Getting dressed, I rushed into the car and had my driver Malcolm take me to the movie theater. He opened the car door for me and I thanked him before heading inside. After receiving our tickets, Denver and I headed the concession stand. We stood in line in an awkward silence as we waited for our turn. Should I just say something?
"How was your day?" Turning to me, he responded by telling me how he was so ready for our date, and how that it was all he focused on. Him putting emphasis on the word date made me blush. I think he saw because once I looked back towards him, he grabbed my hand winked at me then led me into the theater once we received our snacks.
I love horror movies and constantly watch them so I'm not as affected by something 'scary' as everyone else. However, I could tell Denver isn't too into horror movies because he jumped every time a jump-scare came. It was so funny that I couldn't help but laugh at him. He told me to stop and I said no. "You better stop laughing right now." He said slightly getting in my face.
"Or what? Huh? What are you gonna do about it?" I mocked him jokingly. I couldn't help but laugh at him because of the way he would jump was so funny to me.
"I'll show you." Finishing his sentence, he grabbed me by my face and pulled me close to him before gently kissing me. Throughout the rest of the movie, I sat there quietly, blushing the entire time. "Yeah, that's what I thought." He whispered into my ear in a very dominant manner.
Once the movie was over, we went to Chilies to get some food. We sat across the table from each other and talked about school, his family and other stuff. "Can I ask you a question?" He asked.
"You just did," I giggled in a teasing manner.
"Shut up," he rolled his eyes releasing a laugh from his plump lips. "You know what I meant." Grabbing me by my face again, he pulled me into him closer. Just before our lips touched, he let me go. My skin turned bright red as I began to blush which I could tell is what he wanted by the smirk on his face. "I've been feeling a certain way about you for a long time. Ever since I met you actually."
"You had a girlfriend when you first met me. Jessica, I think her name was." I cut in, to which he responded by wrapping his hand gently around my neck before quickly letting go. The immediate result of this was me becoming redder than before. What's with this boy and being so touchy?
"That wasn't my girlfriend, that was some girl that liked me. Anyways, I get jealous when I see any other boy with you. I get mad when you hug them. Even seeing you have a conversation with another boy pisses me off," he began to rant. Some of this I already knew because of what happened on Christmas.
"Why?"
"Because you're mine. I see you as mine. I want you to be mine. And by the reactions you give me every time I touch you," he paused as his hand started to creep up my thigh. "I can tell you want that too. Will you go out with me?" He asked stopping the movement of his hand.
"You see me as yours?" I asked blushing. "I don't know...what about Jessica."
"That dummy, a truck could hit her and she still couldn't take a hint. No, I do not want her, I want you. I want you because you're mine. I'll give you until Monday to think about it. But first..." Getting up from his side of the booth, he sat next to me. Wrapping his hand around my neck again, he passionately kissed me. Shifting his kisses down to my neck, I was becoming redder than I ever thought I could be. Just when he thought I had enough, he stopped his kissing assault. "Just a little sneak peek of what you'll be getting when you're mine. And I know you'll make the right choice." He winked at me before paying for our food. Getting in the car, there was a peaceful silence as we drove back home.
