Chapter 4: The Reunion/Date
I waited in excitement in my work clothes as I was going back home with only 40 minutes before going over to Jordan's house. I never imagined myself ever going over and spending time with him, let alone meeting him! I'm so pumped for this! I wonder what he has planned for me? I wondered. I prepare myself quickly, combing my hair, putting make-up and putting on the brand new dress. I didn't have enough time to take a shower. Oh well.
I finish with 5 minutes to spare. I put my fancy flats on because I'm definitely not wearing high heels, no matter how sexy I look in them. I walk over next door. I knock on his door, tip-toing on the doorstep anxious, happy, excited and a shit ton of other emotions running through my mind and body. SHIT. I thought to myself. I should have rang the door bell. DUH! Stupid me. Now he's going to think it's the cops or something. I let it slide from my mind and wait patiently for 2 seconds when Jordan opens the door. I can instantly tell he put a lot of effort into the evening. Dim lights, candles, wine on the counter. Dang. Impressive.
"Hi Jordan!"
"Hi Alix, I'm so happy to see you!"
"So am I."
I feel like I'd be wagging my tail like crazy if I was a dog. I mean just look at him. He's such a beauty!
"Come in, come in! I've got some champagne on the counter if you'd like some." He offers.
"Thank you." I reply out of habit.
As I'm about to slip off my shoes and head for the bubbly when he says,
"Oh! Keep your shoes on. I have a way better idea then just a dinner at home." He says.
"Oh? Ok." I reply slightly confused.
He heads over to his car. I grab the champagne on the counter and the two wine glasses. I come back outside where he waits at his car. He owns a Chevrolet Equinox. He opens the door for me on the passenger side. What a gentleman. It's rare to see anymore of that I thought.
"Get in, I have something to show you." He says as what seems to be in excitement.
I get in and we drive for 20 minutes or so. While waiting to arrive to the unbeknownst location, I stare outside the window at the glaring street lights above the concrete. We didn't talk much in the car, and I think it's because he wants a conversation.
We arrive at this open meadow, with a hill, and we can see the city. It is illuminated by the all the lights within it. We park at the bottom of the grassy hill, under the cream coloured moonlight. Jordan and I make our way up the hill.
He says "Sorry for the legwork, but trust me you'll like this."
I reply with "Oh it's fine, I can't wait to see what you have planned." I giggle and he manages to chuckle.
Surprisingly, when I look up in the sky, we can see the stars from where we are at. We're finally at the top of the grassy hill, when Jordan, pulls out a patterned blanket and spreads it out neatly. He invites me to sit down with a hand gesture. We both lay on it and poor each other a glass of champagne. Mmmmm yummy! I thought. Jordan could tell I was pleased. He takes out and serves me a marvelous dinner containing an exquisite salad, fresh fruit, still warm, chicken and turkey wraps and a small blueberry cheese cake desert. Oh. My. God. Marry me please! I thought to myself.
"So" He said.
"So"
"Where do we start?" He asks
"Tell me how you got famous." I say with a laugh.
"Well, I first begun playing Call of Duty under Machinima's terms with the Xbox and original YouTube name of ProsDONTtalkShit, but unfortunately it got taken down due to the offensive language.* I'm sure you should know that considering the fact that you claim to be a die hard fan."
"I am and I already knew that!"
"Afterwards, Seananners dared me to change my name to CaptainSparklez. I accepted the challenge and BOOM! Everyone knows me now by that name today. I really earned my popularity when I first had my Minecraft parody TNT. People wanted more, so I delivered. Revenge got me even more known. It's also the most viewed Minecraft video of all time so far with 130 million views."*
For a long period during the evening, we both spent the night discussing our ups and downs, greatest successes, lowest of downfalls throughout our lives so far and our plans for the future. At this time, I estimate that it's around 11pm.
He checks his phone and says "Oh my! Look at the time! I was having such a great time with you Alix, that I completely forgot about the time."
"That's ok Jordan, I can imagine you have plenty of work to do tomorrow. I really enjoyed spending time with you." I look towards him and give him an appeasing smile.Awwww why did this night have to end? I thought.
"Well Alix, we better head home."
"Yup, here I'll help you bring this stuff back"
We walk down the hill with basket and blanket at hand. We get in the vehicle drive off. In the car, Jordan asks me,
"Hey Alix, would you like to partner up and be in my next episode of the Minecraft Hunger Games?"
"Would I?! Yes of course! Thank you so much!"
And with that said, I can barely sit in the passenger seat without moving in excitement for the rest of the ride home. Me and Jordan get home safe and sound. Instinctively, I help Jordan to bring his things inside his home. Jordan and I say our good byes and enter our homes.
These were my thoughts as soon as I was in my jammies: Did I just?... No. I can't believe it, a guest video with my hero! Yipee! Now Alix, don't pee your pants with excitement tonight.
