Cody glanced up at his girlfriend, trying his best to seem in the least a bit serious and interested in what she was saying, Sierra happily blabbing away as they stood on the edge of the food court. Something about how clothes never seem to fit her right? I don't know I stopped paying attention a while back, after she mentioned something about dancing bears and peanut butter. Man there's a lot of people in the mall today isn't there…..Oh shit she got quiet she wants me to say something. Do SOMETHING QUIC K "u-um Sierra, so does tallness run in the family or?" Cody says nervously, stupidly changing the subject as his mind drew a blank
"Why is my cody-kins interested in my height now of all places?" She says, Her face breaking into a teasing smile, a twinkle in her eye that made his heart quicken and breath stop. "n-nothing I was just curious…" Smooth cody….okay fix this…just reach over there and hold your girlfriends hand. He just stood there, awkwardly staring at Sierras hand in uncomfortable silence. Come ON SHES BEEN YOUR GIRLFRIEND FOR 5 MONTHS MAN UP AND HOLD HER FRIKIN HAND BEFORE SHE REACHES OVER AND HOLD YOURS FIRST. His hand twitched. Making wonderful progress. Great. He swallowed thickly, gathering his wits about him before going in for the kill….Just as Sierra got distracted with an ice-cream shop, happily bounding over there and purchasing a cone for the both of them to share. How is she so good at this dating thing?! Me? The Codsmiester? Sucking at wooing? That's unheard of! I WILL BE VICTORIOUS IN MY ENDEVOR OF THE WOOING OF MY LADY.
She offered him the first lick, her perpetual cheer was enough to make someone nauseous and yet she couldn't be seen without it. It was one of her virtues, one of her charms. How nothing seemed to get to her and when it did she was eager to move on and happy to makeup. I just…..shes so wonderful…..I…..I like her? No that doesn't sound right… "I love you" Cody mumbled, mouth overfilling with ice-cream, it attractively spewing down his cheeks and onto the floor with a dull smack. They both stared at the glob of now melting ice-cream on the floor before both slowly looking towards each other. Cody's face getting redder by the moment, the janitors sneaking him dirty looks and the growing smile on Sierras face spurring the blush on. "You….love me?" She chirps, leaning down a bit as if to hear him better, biting her lip as she waited eagerly for his response. Maybe she didn't notice the meting turd of an ice-cream. Or maybe she was choosing to ignore it. Cody opened his mouth to say yes, only to choke on air and half hack up his lung, eyes tearing up as he coughed. After a nice coughing session he simply opted for a nod, Sierra fussing over him and offering him water as she patted his back and fretted over his well being.
She too good for me man, I cant even hold her hand without looking like a tool and here she is fussing over me like im something so frikin precious. He cleared his throat and looked at the mess underfoot. Well ive pretty much messed this date up. Sierra swept her bangs from her face and looked away and glaring at the passersby by as they whispered among themselves about the spectacle they had just witnessed. "Wanna just go home? Im sure we can walk home and watch a movie or something, your pick of course." She says, looking back at Cody with a soft smile. It was as if she was content purely by being by my side. It didn't matter if I messed up or looked stupid, she would be there, forgiving and willing to care for and about me. She deserves someone who isn't such a wimp and I swear im going to be that man. Cody's resolve strengthened as they walked towards the nearest exit. I love her and as we walked from the mall, I couldn't help but to reach over and intertwine her fingers with mine. Her beautiful smile being more than enough of a reward in itself.
