Chapter 2- The Date
"MYLA YOUR PHONE IS RINGING COME AND ANWSER IT!" Shouted my roommate Kazia. I ran into the kitchen to get it from my bag. It didn't take long our flat was tiny! Oh Merlin Unknown Number! It might be James! Eeeeeeeek! I took a deep breath before answering.
"Hello" I answered calmly.
"Hey is this Miss pink?" he joked, why he insisted on calling me Miss Pink? I didn't know.
"I'm afraid so, something I can help you with?" I joked. Damn I was getting too caught up in this. I am a flight risk I told myself. Calm down.
"Well yes actually Miss Pink, you see I haven't been able to stop thinking about you since yesterday and was wondering if you wanted to go out with me tonight?" he asked, sounding nervous.
"Oh I don't know I am supposed to be walking my Unicorn tonight then I have a date with Voldemort so I'm not sure. " Very good Myla, keep it humorous, I told myself.
"Well I'm afraid you're going to have to cancel your date with Voldemort because I have already made the plans, wouldn't want to waste anything now would you?" I couldn't help but giggle like a school girl.
"Well I suppose if you have already made plans, okay then." I tried to sound as calm as possible even though my heart was racing. What was up with me? Flight risk Myla, Flight risk.
"Good, get you outside the cafe tonight at six." He told me "Don't wear anything too fancy."
"But where are we-?" and then he hung up, where the hell was I going? Just then Kazia popped up.
"So? Has Lala got a date tonight?" she asked excitedly.
"Well it's not so much a date" I replied "I'm a flight risk remember 3 dates max, no more no less"
"Oh please you are so smitten, you were blushing and smiling the entire time! You have it bad already Lala, you have already fallen" she replied looking smug. She was so wrong. I don't fall in love, never have; never will it's too risky.
"Have not! He's just cute, big deal I'm allowed to date you know and I have not fallen. You know my rules Kazia."
"Sure you haven't. So who is he do I know him? Is he hot?" she asked changing the subject of my falling a bit, thankfully.
"I haven't" I told her again just so the message would sink in. Myla Pink was not in love. "Well you might he went to Hogwarts and is the same age as us."
"Oh what's his name? What house was he in? Is he hot?" she asked the hot one again just so I could admit that I was attracted to him and then tease me more.
"Erm its James Potter" I said waiting for her reaction.
"NO FRICKING WAY! No way no way no way!" she jumped about excitedly. "Are you kidding? THE James Potter?"
"Yes, what's the big deal?"I asked nervously.
"Lala, he was THE hottest boy in school, EVERYONE fancied him but he only dated two girls who were both bitches who used him to get popular. He was really upset about it. He was also like THE smartest in our year and the Gryffindor Quidditch captain! Lala he was voted Hottest Wizard in the world! Plus he's a billionaire!" Kazia was squeaking with excitement. Personally I wasn't too bothered I mean he was just a guy who asked her out.
"It's not that big a deal, he's just a normal guy who asked me out imp not going to get hung up on him just because he is all of those things. Besides he isn't living off his parent's money, he works part-time and is at healing school."
"Where is he taking you?" she asked completely ignoring what I just said.
"I don't know, why?" I asked curiously
"Lala he is such a romantic, but not cheesy romantic just like incredibly hot romantic. You are so going to fall for this one." She said looking far too happy.
"I am not, it is one date Kazia. I don't fall you have to get used to it. Besides after going to Beauxbatons for 7 years I think I know how to handle myself and not fall." I replied feeling smug.
"You say that now Lala but I guarantee this is the one you are going to fall for. Hell I even fell for him in 5th year. But I got over it when I met Leo." Leo is Kazia's boyfriend. They have been going out for 4 years now and I swear he is going to propose someday.
"Keep telling yourself that Kazia but I am not going to fall in love with some little rich boy, besides it's only the first date."
"Oh so there will be more dates?" she asked
"I don't know I haven't even been on one yet."Kazia sighed then walked back over to the sofa.
"So when are you going?" she asked changing the topic slightly.
"Erm I'm meeting him at 6." I answered shyly. I was not going to fall for James. We would probably just end up friends by the end of this once he realises how messed up I am.
"Well hate to break it to you but its 4.30 just now" she said not even looking up from her magazine.
"SHIT!" and with that I was off running to get a shower and get ready. Thank god it was a Saturday or else I would have been at work till 5.30. I turned the shower on and jumped in it quickly and began washing my hair. I hate how when you are in the shower you think so much like just now I have like 700 billion thoughts going through my mind. It sucked.
AS soon as I had washed my hair I got out of the shower and ran to my room to dry my hair. I was really lucky my long blonde hair had natural soft curls so I didn't need to straighten it or anything. I did however have the difficult decision of what to wear. What could I wear that wasn't too fancy but also looks like I have made an effort. Why is it that even though my wardrobe was full I had nothing to wear? Then suddenly I remembered I had a gorgeous blue floral dress I wore to a garden party last year. I can so wear that with my long white knitted cardigan and white flats. Perfect.
By the time I had shoved my clothes on and put on some light make-up it was 5.57pm. I shouted bye to Kazia then apparated to the cafe. James was already there. He was wearing light denim jeans and a white shirt. His hair was slightly more tamed but still wild. It was sort of nice though. I hate it when things are too perfect. He was also holding a big bouquet of flowers wrapped in a blue ribbon. As soon as I arrived he turned around and smiled. He walked over to me. My heart began to race. Why was this happening to me?
"Hey, you look great." He said sounding nervous.
"Thanks so do you" aw he was being so cute. Wait what? Flight risk Myla. Flight Risk, do not get too attached.
"Here I got you these" he said handing me the flowers, he looked really nervous. I took them they really were beautiful and had little white butterflies flying around inside it.
"Thank you they are beautiful"
"I thought you would like them" he smirked appearing to calm down more.
"So where are we going then?" I asked but I think I sounded a bit too eager.
"Take my hand and I will show you" he said taking out his hand from his pockets. I reluctantly took it and found myself spinning until I landed on what appeared to be sand. Was I at the beach? Oh shit I really was at the beach.
"The beach?" I asked
"Yip!" he said popping the "P" "come on over here." He was dragging me over to a blanket where there was a wicker basket and another blanket in the middle. Oh god he got us a picnic at the beach! Under the stars! What was he doing to me?
"Wow!" I said I was truly surprised; no guy has ever gone to this much effort for me before. I began to blush a little as he took my hand and dragged me over to the blanket.
"I remember you telling me you loved going to the beach but never got to go often so I thought it was the perfect place for a first date" he was smiling and looking at me, I was still gobsmacked he had put a lot of effort and thought into this. I don't even remember telling him about me loving the beach.
"Thank you, it's beautiful" those are the only words I can manage to get out...
"I'm glad you like it, oh and I got lots of food too I thought we could just talk but I got one of those muggle IPads.
As well so we can watch a movie too."
"This is too much James" I said trying not to sound ungrateful.
"Don't be daft Miss Pink" he smirked. I smiled back and sat down. We talked for hours until it began to get really dark and I began to get tired when James brought out the IPad and we watched The Hangover. He put his arm around me and I got goosebumps. It really was a perfect date. So simple but perfect.
The film had finished and we were just lying down looking at the stars when I realised it must be really late and I have work tomorrow! SHIT!
"James I have to go soon you know I have work tomorrow" I said rolling over and looking at him.
"Miss Pink have you ever stayed awake all night?" he asked.
"Nope I have work early and can't be late"
"Well I have, and even though you feel like dying in the morning it is all part of being young. You know breaking the rules and living a little bit. You are far too careful and need to be more careless."
I was gobsmacked was he really asking me to stay up all night? He sat up and put his arm around me again. The goosebumps were back. This boy really was going to make a rebel out of me. And I am going enjoy every minute of it. Then again I did have work tomorrow...
"I don't know James I mean if I'm late my bos-"His lips pressed against mines, kissing me softly and tenderly but also passionately like he was hungry for me. I had kissed loads of guys before but none like this. It was usually just some horny guy hoping to get lucky. I kissed him back just as eagerly then he pulled away. Smirking again. Why was he so damn sexy when he smirked? And me being me blushed, yes I blushed.
"You're a good kisser" he whispered.
"You're not so bad yourself" I was getting so much better at flirting, clearly.
"Still don't fancy staying out all night?" he asked raising his eyebrows.
"Well I suppose I could company but we will need more food, I am a total midnight mucher." He smiled a huge toothy smile. Oh My Merlin I am going to stay out all night at the beach with a boy I met yesterday! He is already turning me into a rebel.
"Good, now would Miss Pink like to watch another film?" and with that we began watching another film kissing every so often. Each kiss becoming more and more passionate until I pulled away. We both fell asleep around 5am. And it truly was a perfect date.
