"So I'll see you later?"
"Yeah. I'll swing by and we can go."
"My bike's all fixed and I'm ready, so come sooner rather than later!"
"Alright Harley, see ya."
You fall back into your sheets as you hang up. It's your first date with Jade, so make sure not to fuck it up. The wait for this has been too long, but now that the event is finally approaching, it feels as if it's coming on too fast. Your hands are almost shaking with anxiety as you try to calm down. You try thinking of when you asked Jade out in the first place. It wasn't exactly aimed to make it seem like a date, but Jade was so happy. She acted like she couldn't believe you wanted to spend time with her one-on-one. It gave you the boost of confidence you needed.
You grab a jacket and quickly pull it on, leaving the fabric wrinkled. You scamper out of your room and tear down the steps like there's no tomorrow (which is admittedly pretty likely). Bro yells something about being so loud as you slam the front door and hop onto your bike. You pedal as fast as you can, stopping only when absolutely have too. before you know it, you're at Jade's new house. She's waiting under the tree of her front yard, bike propped up next to where she's sitting. You walk your bike over to the tree and let it fall to the grass. Jade doesn't greet you, she's too busy sleeping. You slowly sit down next to her.
"Harley?" you whisper loudly.
Jade's head rolls onto you shoulder and you feel warmth flood your face. Jadelets out one soft and quiet snore. You nestle your chin onto the top of her head, finding it rather comfortable. As you do so, Jade curls up, moving her body closer to yours. You wonder if she would do the same if she was awake.
You sure hope so.
Instinctively, you give her forehead a quick but soft kiss. Jades eyes flutter open as you pull away. She blushes a fierce crimson as she recoils from your touch. You feel a catch form in your throat.
"Jade, I'm really sorry."
Jade looks at her hands, refusing to make eye contact. Embarrassed, you shift away.
"No, don't go Dave."
"Why would I?"
Jade suddenly looks you in the eye, her eyes shining with mixed emotion. She leans forward and plants a long and gently kiss upon your lips. You fold your fingers through hers, not really knowing what else to do.
She doesn't pull away for what feels like some time. Impulsively, you bring her closer to you and kiss Jade again. Soon you're two dorks snogging beneath a tree on a summer day.
Which is better than you could have hoped for on a first date.
