Yes... I am not dead! I'm still very alive. I am so sorry I haven't posted a chapter in about 500 years, I just didn't have a lot of time; Tests and all :L
Anyway, I am back. And I shall be for a while hopefully, so please enjoy this very... very, delayed chapter :D
I searched in my closet for something elegant, yet girly. I smiled when I saw my strapless, red dress and changed into it quickly.
Perfect. Now I just needed to accessorize.
I rooted through my drawer and picked out my slim black belt and slipped it around my waist, then chose some simple black stilettos to match.
"Mom! Do you know where my black leather jacket is?" I shouted down the hall, as I applied my bright red lipstick. What? I like red and black.
"Um, yeah, I think it's on the chair beside the TV." She shouted back. "Thanks." I said and walked hastily into the living room to find it.
"Why, where are you going?" She asked me, suddenly appearing in the doorway of the kitchen, as I grabbed it and put it around my shoulders.
"On a date." I replied subtly, looking around, trying to find my clutch bag. "There it is." I muttered as I saw it on the table.
"Who with?" She questioned again. "Chad?" She asked, eyeing my outfit. I scoffed, "Um, no. Matt. You know the one who ditched me in seventh grade?" I asked.
She nodded and put her finger in the air, "That boy." She explained to herself. "Yep. So I'll be back around 11." I said to her and got half way to the door.
"10.30." She bargained with me. "10.45!" I shouted back, and got out the door before she could answer me.
...
I walked into the full restaurant, looking around for anyone who vaguely reminded me of Matt.
I remember he had dark, brown, curly hair and brown eyes, but that's all I could remember.
I tried harder to search for him, but no one caught my eye until a voice came from behind me, "Sonny?"
I turned automatically and smiled. "Matt." I breathed, taking in how much he'd changed. His once curly hair was now short and black.
"Well, you've definitely changed." I stated, still smiling at him. When I last saw him, he looked cute but not sexy. But now…wow.
He smiled back at me, "Yeah. You too." He replied and I watched his eyes travel up my body slowly, as if savouring the moment. I blushed, "So, shall we get a table?"
"We shall." He answered as he took my hand lightly and pulled me over to a small booth. Where had this guy been in seventh grade?
Oh yeah, being the geek he once was. Not now, obviously.
He gestured for me to sit down so I slid into one of the seats and he scooted next to me. I gave him a questioning look and he laughed.
"I'm not sitting on the opposite side because I thought I'd invite some friends. I hope you don't mind." He said with a smile so charming I wouldn't mind if he were friends with-
"Chad Dylan Cooper, in the house!" Chad's voice boomed, getting closer to us. I groaned and put my head in my hands on the table.
I felt Matt's hand around my waist and he leaned closely to my ear, "What's wrong?" He asked me.
Before I could reply Chad spoke, "Hey Matt, who's your babe?" He asked, and I could tell he was being cocky just by the tone of his voice.
I lifted my head of my hands and smiled sarcastically at him, "Hey Chad." I watched as his eyebrows nearly hit the roof, "Sonny?" He asked incredulously.
"In the flesh." I said, gesturing to myself. Matt laughed beside me, his hand still around my waist, "Oh yeah. You two are like, rivals or something, right?"
"Yeah, you could say that." I replied, taking a quick glance at Chad.
...
"That was amazing Matt. I've never had a burger that good before!" I exclaimed, leaning back onto the chair. He smiled, "Well, only the best for you."
Candy, Chad's blonde date, suddenly giggled as Chad whispered something in her ear. "Uh, hey guys, can we keep it PG rated please?" Matt asked smugly.
Chad smiled, as if he was proud of himself and popped his collar, "Dude, I'm Chad Dylan Cooper. She can't keep her hands off me!" He replied, winking at Candy.
She giggled yet again and hugged his waist, "Can we go now. I'm bored." She asked him in a sweet, girly voice, while playing with his tie.
He sighed, "Not yet. Don't you want dessert?" He asked her, ever so slightly moving her hands away from his waist.
Her face fell a little, "Okay I suppose. But you owe me." She said back with a wink. Chad laughed and got the attention of a waiter and we ordered our dessert.
"Thankyou." I said happily to the waiter as he put my chocolate fudge cake in front of me. "Mmm..." I moaned as I tasted the sweetness of the chocolate.
"So it's good?" Matt asked me as I took another bite. I nodded contently, "Want to try it?" I asked him. His lips curved up slowly, "Yeah, why not?"
I grinned back at him, "Here." I said, taking a spoon full and giving it to him. He chewed it, "Mmm, you're right. That is good."
"I know right." I replied, eating another mouthful. "Um, you got-" Chad started to say to me, but Candy interrupted us,
"Oh Chaddy, do you want some ice-cream?" She asked and shoved a spoonful into his mouth before he could refuse.
She smirked at us, like she'd done something amazing and Chad started to cough. "Oh, my poor baby! Are you okay?" She asked him sweetly, rubbing his back.
I looked over to Matt who seemed to be trying very hard not to laugh. Chad stopped choking, "Yes. I'm fine. But I'm not four." He said wiping his mouth.
He turned to me, "As I was saying, you got some cake on your face." He said, pointing just below his mouth. "Thanks." I replied and lifted my hand to get rid of it.
"Here," Matt said quickly, wiping it away with a cloth, smiling at me brightly. I blushed, "Thankyou." I murmured back.
"No problem." He replied, stroking my hand gently under the table. I looked down at the table, slightly embarrassed, trying to hide my huge smile and very red face.
It's so good to be back on here! So, if y'all aren't too mad at me, maybe you'll review? Please? ;D
I truly love you all,
Holly xx
