"Yes! A stop light! I love you! Oh, please let there be more, Theres more down this street...right?"
My brain is working in over drive right now, wondering how to get out of picking up my date. Why must I be such a wuss? ...sigh...
Apparently Matt noticed the "deer in the headlights" look on my face, for He started chatting. He never talks in the car, He just stares out the window and puffs on his cigarette. He's Probably trying to chill me out. Like thats going to work.
"Don't worry dude! Just chill, you got your ol' best o buddy with you." Matt smirked, Eying me from behind his goggles.
I briefly looked at him then went back to eying the road.
"Shut up."
"Hey! thats not very nice. Look, whats going to happen? hmm? Nothings going to go wrong. Your a big, blond, lovable, chocoholic. Whats not to love?" Matt snickered.
"And besides Im sure she's hot, funny, Attractive, Smart, witty, and hopefully hyper enough for the both of you, and all that Shiz." Matt sighed with confidence, leaning back into his seat.
"Right..." I muttered under my breath.
The drive went way to fast for me to make up an escape plan, so I swallowed my fears and hoped out of the car. Matt got out slowly and popped his lower back, with a smile. "Its party time."
The apartment building was huge and beautiful! Apparently the daughter of rich parents. At this point, I feel like a dirty splotch on clean fabric. While standing in the elevator, I looked over at Matt who gave me the thumbs up and the "Alright dude" Nod. I just sheepishly turned back to starring at the closed elevator doors.
"Maybe the Elevator wire will snap and we will plummet to our deaths...that would be cool."
DING!
Oh, now im getting butterfly's. There chewing at my insides and tying my lungs in a not.
We walked in silence the rest of the way. I stopped at Her door and just starred before knocking on it.
"No ones going to hear that!" Matt huffed, banging on the door much to loud for my taste.
We heard ruffling noises on the inside and a mini conversation between two girls.
"Our Dates Here, Hurry up and get dressed before I leave you behind."
The Door opened swiftly reviling a normal height, small built girl. With long black hair that glimmered when it swayed, and a face that would brake any mans heart.
I turned my attention to a drooling Matt for a second, then went back to the girl in the door way.
"Is this Crystals Apartment?" I asked feeling dumb for not having no clue what to say.
"Who cares Man? She's Good Looken smocken Hot! Matt drooled.
The girl smiled to my stupid friend then starred back at me, eying me up and down.
"Mine and Hers both. You must me MelloYello, Crystal talks about you all the time." She said kinda monotone.
"Uh, its just Mello. and...Really?" I couldn't help but smile.
"Yah, It kinda annoying." She winked then turned and walked casually back to the sofa she must have been sitting in recently.
"Make your self at home. Barbie should be almost done having her fashion show in the bathroom." She laughed.
I walked slowly over to the huge black sofa that outstretched over the white fluffy carpet. The view from the huge Window for a wall was spectacular, so I walked over there instead. I starred out to the tiny world below in awe.
"You have a nice place." I said with hands in pockets.
"Yah, It was a gift from my dad. I dont think I have ever gotten a normal gift for my birthday. But I love it." She laughed with a warm smile.
"My names Danielle by the way. I have already met you, But who's your friend?" Danielle asked pointing over to Matt.
"I'm Matt." He said bluntly with a grin. His goggles were on his forehead now.
While they got to know one another,I went back to my nice view. After a while I decided to join Matt and Danielle.
Stepping backwards I felt something soft and squishy beneath my foot, and a loud screech to follow. Nearly falling over, I up righted my self and found what I nearly squished. A small white frightened kitten with a pink bow. Ran to a Blond/brown, shoulder length haired girl. She was the same height as Danielle, She wore a thin white dress with a blue bow tied around her thin waist. And a tiny blue vest that hung loosely on her shoulders. Her eyes were the color of butterscotch, and Her tangerine lips glimmered in the light. She was absolutely the most beautiful thing He had ever seen.
"Out of all your clothes you chose that? The peach colored tube top was way cuter on you Crystal." Danielle smirked. "So what do you think of your date Blondie? hmm?" She asked with a devious smile.
"I'm a goner, I can't remember how to talk."
I mentally smacked myself and closed my mouth.
"I,Uh, uhm..." I managed to sputter out. I could feel the heat in my cheeks, so I looked down.
"Oh He's cute! Can we trade?" Danielle hyperly called out.
"Hey!?" Matt barked.
"Im kidding, Juuuust kidding." She giggled. Apparently, they hit it off well.
Crystal burst into a smile that completely twisted my heart out.
"Oh God, Im a goner."
Crystal walked a few steps closer to where I stood, holding Her kitten in her arms.
"Sorry for stepping on fluffy." I muttered,Playing with the tail end of my shirt.
She smiled and handed the kitten to me.
"Her names Cottonball actually." She said playfully.
I held the cat under its shoulders in front of me, not sure what to do with it.
"Cute..." I said with not much liking.
The kitten started hissing and swatted at me.
"Yes very cute." I handed back the furry demon to its angelic owner.
"Im sorry, normally She likes strangers." She giggled, laying Her cat in the floor. She looked back to me and put her hands on her hips. "You are totally what I pictured you'd look like." She toothy smiled.
"Is that a good thing?"
"emmmmmmm, Maybe?" She winked then giggled.
"Your nothing how I imagined you." I said, while following her into the kitchen.
"Oh really?" She turned to say with a playful look in her eyes. "and..?" she prodded.
"Your...uh...nothing how I imagined...?" I said not wanting to say what I was thinking.
"BeautifulBeautifulBeautifulB eautifulBeautifulBeautifulBe autifulBeautifulBeautifulBea utifulBeautifulBeautifulBeau tifulBeautifulBeautiful!" I thought to myself.
She smiled and went back to what she was doing.
"Would you like a soda or something? I don't have any liquor if your into that." She said almost like She was testing me.
"No, I don't drink...or smoke...or what ever else is out there, well I do take sleeping pills sometimes. Does that count?" I smiled.
"Good." was all she said.
what was she thinking? Oh how I would like to know...
She walked back into the living room grabbing my hand as she went.
"You people ready to go?" She asked with excitement.
Matt and Danielle broke from there conversation to turn to us.
Matt starring at us, and Danielle starring at our connected hands with raised eyebrows.
"Sure sure sure." Danielle said while standing up along side Matt.
"Lets go sweet cakes." She hooked her arm through Matts and started walking out the door.
Noticing I was still gripping Her hand, I let go quickly. Connecting My two hands back together. Feeling the heat rise back to my cheeks again.
Her cheeks reddened a little too, but dodged by turning Her back to me to lock the door.
"Em uh, ok lets be off then." She sputtered a little, while walking beside me down the halls. Hearing the echos of laughter from our friends, that left before us.
Both of us looking down, holding our own two hands. We walked in stuffy silence the rest of the way.
