Chapter 2/The Date
"Calm down girl!! You're gonna make yourself flushed!" "I know Kel, It's just that I'm so nervous-what if he hates it. Or even worse-what if I hate it!!!" "Andi chill. Dean's a great guy, a total hottie. Oh, and about that YOU not liking him thing." "Ya?" "Well forget it!! You are totally in love girl!!" "Well I wouldn't go that far, but I do get weak when I see him." "Don't take it personally sis, but even I get weak when I see him-he's a total hottie," she joked. Andrea sighed. Kelly had been her best friend since 3^rd grade. She was so much more experienced in this department, but Andi knew she didn't need help picking out her clothes, makeup, or her hair. (Which was growing back, and was almost shoulder length) After being Dean's "buddy" she had gotten to know him better then anyone, and he really didn't notice appearance, at least as much as she would. Kelly did have a point though-his appearance wasn't something that just slid by. He was definitely the cuteset guy;
she'd ever met, much less dated. "Earth to Andi! What do you think about this skirt?" "It's cute, but I kind of had my eye on this," she said picking up her black miniskirt and baby blur tank. "Perfect. Now go get dressed, he'll be here any minute now."
"Andrea, Dean's here to pick you up," Andy yelled. Andi rolled her eyes. Her brother was great, but was obviously not the most sincere person in the world. "I'll be down in two minutes," she yelled back. She grabbed a sweater, her purse, (fully stocked with makeup in case of a facial emergency) and her shoes. She slipped the black strappy sandals on. She glanced in the mirror on her way out. They made her legs look long and glamorous. Her baby blue toes peeked out perfectly underneath. At least I'm a girl again, or else I would have had to tell him it cut vibration on the foot peddles, she laughed to herself. After a quick hair/makeup check she was finally ready. She ran down the steps, almost running right into her mother. "Mom, um, I was just about to leave." "I know," her Mom smiled. "Have fun sweetheart. Oh and be prepared, he looks incredible!" "Andi laughed nervously and headed out the door.
"Dean, hey," she said stepping outside. He came into full view. Whoa! He looked, not incredible, but fabulous, in khaki's and a polo shirt. "Hey Andi. Wow you look great," he said, looking like her truly meant it. They headed to the car. Andi climbed in the front seat, incredibly nervous. "So, um, do you like pop music," she asked anxiously. "Ya, I guess. I'm more of a rocker though. He grinned and finally settled on a pop station. They pulled out of the driveway. Free at last, she breathed a sigh of relief. "What's up," he asked half frowning. "Oh nothing, I'm just happy to be out of the house, and here with you." "Good," he said smiling. They cruised into the movie theater parking lot. "I thought we might start with the movie," he said looking at his feet. "Then maybe we could grab a burger or something." "Sounds great," she replied happily. She didn't add the rest out loud. Anything to spend time with you is ok with me. "So what do you want to see? Anything particular,"
he asked her. "I don't know-what's playing?" "Well, there's a new Bruce Willis flick out." She shook her head. "There's a drama," she added hopefully. He looked slightly disapointed. "Ok," she laughed. "There's another, um, Disapearance At Dawn- a horror film. It's supossed to be great. Wanna try it out?" "Sounds perfect," he laughed. He paid for their tickets, and drinks and got them settled. The plot was great. Something about a girl getting kidnapped by a lake, Sort of a Ransom type of thing. Andi was watching Dean and the movie though, and he seemed pretty interested. I better pay attention in case he wants to discuss it later, she thought. About halfway through the movie his arm went across her back, her hand across his knee. She was so self-concious, she couldn't move. After a while, she began to relax, and they joined hands. Just they feeling of his palm in hers, made her heart go wild. After the movie, they settled on Burger Boy for dinner. They sat down at the
farthest booth. "To drink miss?" The waitress had startled her. "Um, coke please." She turned to Dean. "I'll have the same," he added. They finally ordered, and ate in silence, taking in each other's company. After it was all paid for, they headed to the car. They drove in silence, but Andi was well aware of Dean's right arm drapped casually across he shoulders. As they pulled into the Carson's driveway they both started to talk at once. They laughed. "I had a great time," he said. "Me too," she added dreamily. They both knew what came next, the best part, they goodbye kiss.
