Chapter 1
"Okay so we will meet you at 8 outside the cinema." Jessica confirmed down the other end of the phone.
Jessica was one of my closest friends. She was one of the few friends that i had. I didn't socialise with other people very well. But Jess didn't seem to mind my awkward manner.
"Who else is coming?" I asked, even though i already knew the answer.
"Uh...well...." Jess was hesitant.
"Please tell me your not trying to set me up with one of Mike's friends again. How many times do i have to tell you....."
"I know Bella, you dont need a man to make you happy. Save your feminist crap for another night, because tonight you are going on a date with Conor!"
So Conor was the name of the unsuspecting victim.
"I hate you Jessica Stanley!"
"Hehe i love you to!" She giggled before she hung up.
Great so now i was going on a blind date, could my night get anymore worse?
At that exact moment i felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I opened it to see a text from Jessica.
Dont forget to dress up! This is a date after all! X
Yes.
My night just got worse.
---------------------------------------------------------------
I looked through my small wardrobe. Its not that i didn't have nice clothes, its just i rarely saw the point of dressing up. I grimaced at the memories of my mom trying to force me into girly clothes, the flowers and the frills, just the thought of them made me shudder. But now that i was at the age of sixteen i could now buy my own clothes without having to donate them to the local charity drive. I couldn't decide what to wear. I didn't want to get dressed up but then again i didn't want Jess to get angry. I was just lucky she didn't feel the need to dress me up herself! I decided to go with casual.
I put on a pair of denim mini shorts and a purple tank top with a shiny print. I also put on my long grey cardigan over that and i put on my light brown sandal heels. They weren't that high so i shouldn't fall flat on my face. Surprisingly enough i walk better in heels than in flats! To top it off i wore my grandmothers necklace which she gave me before she died. It was a gold chain which had a dark golden apple hanging from it. It was beautiful. I quickly put my Chanel earrings on and grabbed my Juicy handbag. Living in L.A meant designer clothes were a must have.
I didn't always live in L.A. I used to live in Phoenix with my mom but when she died i came to live with my dad, Charlie. He works for the Los Angeles Police Department, so him moving to Phoenix was not negotiable. I miss my mom, she was the closest thing i ever had to a best friend. Thinking of her automatically caused me to glance at the wedding ring on my finger. It was my mothers from when she married Charlie, they were once so happy but also so young. They were divorced by the time i was three. I shook my head trying to release the sad memories and walked over to my mirror.
I brushed through my mahogany hair leaving it down in its natural waves. I quickly put on a small bit of lip gloss and eyeshadow , my mom always said i never needed make-up and that i had such a natural beauty beyond belief, but thats what mothers are supposed to say, right? I looked at the clock. Dammit, it was 7.30. I would most likely be late knowing how busy the traffic could get.
I ran downstairs and i was nearly out the door when Charlie stopped me.
"Hey Bells, how was your day?"
"Great dad but i kinda have to get going..."
"Oh got a date have you?"
"Umm......"I was kind of uncofortable even hearing the word date in Charlies presence.
"Ok i get it, just make sure your home by curfew."
"Sure cya!"I called already halfway down the driveway.
I jumped into my SUV and and sped towards the inner city. I turned on my radio. My CD was still in it and the sound of Linkin Park blasted through my car.
---------------------------------------------------------
I had been sitting in traffic for 40 minutes and i was now 15 minutes late. I quickly turned into the car park opposite the cinema. Knowing my luck, it would take me another hour to find a parking space. I sped around the levels of the car park eagerly when i finally spotted an empty space. I pushed my foot on the accelerator ready to swing into the space when all of a sudden a silver volvo drove straight in front of me, nearly causing a crash and then when i thought things couldn't get worse the stupid shiny volvo took my space.
I sat there frozen for a few minutes while i watched the passengers of the car get out. They all looked like young kids, i'd say the oldest was about twelve. I was frozen in shock but when i saw the driver get out, anger engulfed me. I stepped out the car and marched over to the stupid shiny volvo owner determined to say my piece.
"Hey!"I shouted over at the owner.
When he turned around, i was frozen in my place once again. But this time it wasn't out of shock or anger it was out of awe.
He had perfectly tousled bronze hair and piercing green eyes that i couldn't seem to take mine off. He was tall and muscular, he looked around my age and he was.....beautiful.
"Yes, how may i help you?"He asked, disturbing me out of my ogling.
I blushed realising i had been staring at him for a few minutes. But then i quickly remembered why i began shouting at him in the first place.
"You...uh...crash....um...stole...."
"Im sorry, i didn't quite catch that?"
Ha good looking and polite! But then again he did almost kill me and steal my spot within ten seconds of eachother.
"You nearly caused a crash and then you stole my place!"I repeated my thoughts.
"Well i admit that i shouldn't have pulled out in front of you at such great speed. But since when was this space yours?"
"Well i was here ready to claim the spot before you, may i repeat, nearly killed me!"
"Well i didn't see your car anywhere near the space so really you cant blame me."
Oh he was hitting my last nerve.
"So really what your saying is that you dont pay attention to the road or other cars! And you call yourself a driver!" I turned my head in disgust, but when i looked back at him he had the most dazzling and beautiful crooked smile i had ever seen on anybodys face.
"I'd love to stay and chat but i have matters to be attending to." He said simply before he glided away.
I was going to demand that he give me my space back but i was too dazzled to even notice that i had been watching his retreating figure for longer than any sane person.
I got back into my car and luckily enough found a space on the next level. I quickly got out and nearly ran to the entrance of the cinema.
"Where the hell have you been?"Jessica said to me once i had reached them, in a slightly angry tone.
"Traffic, jerk took space and crash...."I tried to explain slightly breathless.
Jessica interrupted me.
"Just forget i asked you. Bella this is Conor, Conor this is Bella!" Jess introduced us excitedly.
I held my hand out to what looked like a thirteen year old kid who spent way to much time playing video games and reading comic books. I smiled politely before i took my hand out of his sweaty hand. Seriously has he not heard of washing!
I looked at him in almost digust. He had pimples all over his face and his hair was greasy enough to cook burgers in it. Yep, that just turned me off burgers! I saw him turn towards Mike and whisper something in his ear. Once he was finishing whatever he had to say, Mike looked at me and licked his lips. When he saw that i was watching he winked at me. This was my friends boyfriend and he just winked at me! Gross!
I grabbed Jessica as the boys led us into the cinema.
"Are you serious?!"I asked her with horror in my tone.
"I know hes a bit....weird, but you never know he might be your true love!"
Mike and Conor interrupted us.
"So Conor wants to go see Ice Age, so i guess we will go to Ice Age!"Mike exclaimed.
It was ok for him and Jess they could just make out for the entire movie. But i have to sit beside a loser who has a liking towards childrens films! If it is possible my night just got worse...again!
I pulled Jessica towards me once again as i qued for my ticket.
"Ok Jess, i know im not pretty but im not that bad!"
"No, pretty doesn't even match up to how beautiful you are." A velvet voice said as i turned around to see who this voice belonged to.
I was face to face with the stupid shiny volvo owner. I blushed a deep crimson red, unable to say anything. Did he seriously think i was beautiful? No it wasn't possible.
"Uh...Thanks?" I mumbled.
"Your welcome." He replied while still gazing at me.
"Im just gonna...um...over there....cya!"Jess quickly said as she ran over to Mike who had already bought their tickets. She was obviously as shocked as i was.
We just stood there staring at eachother. I was about to turn away when he began to speak again.
"I never did apologise for nearly killing you, although i doubt i would have even injured you let alone kill you!"
I waited.
"Im sorry."He said sincerley.
I huffed."Well i accept your apology, but im still waiting for your other one..."
"I didn't steal your space, i just got there faster!"
"You so did!"
"I so didn't!"
"Did!"
"Didn't!"
"Did!"
"Excuse me may i help you sir?" The person behind the counter interrupted our childish feud.
"Oh yes can i have six tickets to Ice Age, please?"
I stifled a laugh. He obviously heard because he pointed over to the group of four young children i saw getting out of his car earlier.
"At least i have an excuse as to why im going to a childs film!" He had obviously overheard my conversation with the others.
"Hey so do i!" I pointed over to Conor who could barely contain his excitement.
"Shouldn't your date be buying your ticket for you?"He teased.
"Hey i'd be surprised if his mom hasn't pre-ordered his ticket!"
We both laughed before i turned towards the cashier to ask for my ticket. But before i could say anything there was a ticket in my hand. I looked up to see him walking away.
"Its the least i could do, seeing as i nearly killed you....and i stole your space!" He called over his shoulder.
My heart skipped a beat.
"Hey lady we do want to see the film before it finishes!" A man behind me in the que said, interrupting my ogling.
"S-sorry." I stuttered as i walked over to Jess and the guys.
"BELLA WHO WAS THAT!" Jess basically shouted.
"Um that was...To be honest, i dont know!"
They all looked at me confused. Conor didn't look disappointed that i was talking to another guy, a much much better looking guy, only disappointed at the fact we were taking our time going into the movie.
When we went into the cinema it was very dark, but that didn't stop me from looking for him.
I didn't see him.
We sat near the back, thankfully! I didn't want anyone to see me in here!
When we ha d sat down, i couldn't help but cringe away from Conor. He was weird but he wasn't stupid. He would always try to pull a move when i was least expecting it but luckily i would move away just in time. After his sixth try i began to wonder if the real reason he was so eager to go to this movie was the same reason why Mike and Jess wanted to go to it. I nearly puked at the thought.
But to be honest i wasn't really paying attention to Conor or the movie. I was skimming the place looking for stupid shiny volvo owner. I really should come up with a new name for him. His real name might work. I wonder what his real name is, i bet its something masculine but still mysterious 'cause thats the kind of guy he is....
My thought was interrupted by Conor, once again trying to pull a move.
"You know what i have to go to the bathroom, excuse me." I whispered as i shoved past Jess and Mike while they made out. I had to get away from Conor he was driving me crazy!
Once i was in the bathroom i took my time tying up my hair and redoing my eyeshadow and lip gloss. I was just trying to waste as much time as possible. I washed my hands twice knowing that they had touched Conor's hands, and re-did my hair and my make-up at least three times before i decided it was finally time to go back into the movie.
I walked out of the bathroom with my head down. I jumped as i felt someone pull me to the side and against the wall.
"What the....Oh its you!" I tried to sound indifferent as i looked up at the face of a god.
He smiled that amazing crooked smile. My breath hitched.
"Yes its me." He said as i noticed just how close he was standing. He caught me looking at the small space between us and took it the wrong way as he took a step back. I blushed involuntarily and he laughed. So i tried to sound annoyed.
"What do i want?" I asked a bit too harsh, worried that i had offended him. But he just seemed even more amused.
"Is that what i get after i buy your ticket, no thanks? Nothing?" He asked mockingly.
"Thankyou." I said with a gentle smile.
"Tell your boyfriend he should take some tips, hes not very...gentlemanly."
"Ewww no that is not my boyfriend!" I grimaced at just the thought.
"Well it didn't look like it from where i was sitting!"
Realising that he saw Conor trying to make a move on me, made me realise he probaly saw me searching the place for him. I could feel my face heat up and i blushed....again.
"You are so cute when you blush."He said as he held up his hand and grazed my cheek with his fingertips, causing me to blush even deeper.
I didn't even know this person, but yet i felt strangely close.
We gazed into eachothers eyes for a moment before he said something i was not expecting.
"Lets get out of here!"
"What?" I asked, shocked.
"Well i can tell your not exactly enjoying this movie, and i am most certainly not, so lets go."
"Uh my friends are in there and aren't you supposed to be babysitting, or whatever it is your doing?"
"Just text your friends and tell them you have gone home early beacuse you weren't feeling well."
"And what about your problem, you cant leave kids here on their own!"
"My sister came in her car, so she can take them home." He seemed very happy with his little plan. Me on the other hand was slightly confused. Why would he want to spend time with me?
"Come on, whats the harm in having a bit of fun?" He challenged me.
"Fine then, if fun is what you want, then fun is what we'll have." I replied with a smug smile.
He held out his hand to me.
"Then lets go."
Okay, so this is actually only half of what i was going to write because i was going to include their 'date' in this chapter aswell, but its really late and im really tired. So please review and let me know if you want me to continue.
Reviews are better than stupid shiny volvo owners!
