*Lil' POV*
After dropping Tommy off on friday, I went to my room and entered total freak out mode. tomorrow was the day of our date, we were going to go on a date tomorrow. I hoped he was as nervous as I was about this, we hadn't really told anyone other than Kimi about this. If we did and it didn't end good then it would just ruin our whole group dynamic. Kimi figured it out on her own, but now one else had yet. I really hoped this was the first of many dates not just one trying out.
I had tried to figure out what I wanted to wear all week but I couldn't put it all together. I didn't even really know what we were going to do yet, there were so many elements I had to figure out. Dress or pants? T-shirt or dress shirt? Hair up or down? Kimi said her first date with Jace was really fun and casual. Knowing Tommy our date would probably be casual too, but you never know. Kimi said Tommy won't spill any details to her because he knows she'll tell me. Him and Kimi are like brother and sister, he tells her everything but won't talk to her about me because he's afraid she will say something embarrassing. Which she probably will, she's Kimi she has no filter when it comes to what to say.
When we were at school Tommy and I texted all the time, I can't wait until the date when I can hold his hand finally, and kiss him again. We had only kissed those two times last week and it was like magic. I sighed I couldn't wait for a day when I could finally say that Tommy and I were dating. That day just wasn't today.
*Tommy's POV*
tomorrow was the big day I was going to take Lil on a date. It was all going to be a big surprise as to where we were going. I could not wait for it, I was nervous though too. I mean we had never gone on a date with each other so I didn't know how it would all work out. I hoped it would work out well. I really liked her, and she seemed to feel the same way. I felt bad not telling our friends what we were doing but Lil though it would be better if we didn't tell everybody now. I went along with it but Kimi had figured it out and I think Phil suspected.
When we kissed I was amazed I had the guts to. I mean I almost stopped myself as I was going to kiss her. Then when she accepted to go out with me and kissed me again I knew we would probably work out pretty well. I was more excited than nervous for our date I had a good feeling about it all.
The next morning I woke up around ten which was my preferred time to wake up. I went downstairs in my pajamas, Dil was sitting at the kitchen table with Dad, Mim was making breakfast. "Morning" I said taking a seat across from Dil "Morning, honey" Mom replied "eggs or waffles?" "Eggs" I replied. "What are your plans for te day,Tommy?" Dad asked looking up from the paper he was reading as Mom placed a mug of coffee in front of me. "I have a date" I didn't want to lie to them and what was the big deal about telling my parents anyway? "With who?" Mom asked alarmed as she went back to the stove. "Lil" I told them.
"oh,thats sweet" Mom smiled. "Does Phil know?" Dil asked, "no he doesn't and I would appreciate it if you would keep this to yourself, for now" I replied as Mom put my eggs and bacon in front of me she sat down across from Dad with her waffles, we were a full table. Dil sighed and started eating again. "What are you going to do?" Mom asked, this is why I didn't tell them this until now. I knew they would ask me a million questions and I just didn't feel like talking about it with them. "I'm going to surprise her" I said as I quickly gulped down the rest of my coffee. I left the kitchen with out a word "Di Di, I highly doubt he wants to talk about all of this over breakfast" I heard Dad say to Mom as I rounded the corner, thank you Dad.
*Lil's POV*
I woke up that morning with butterflies in my stomach, I was excited and nervous all at the same time. I went downstairs to see Phil cooking breakfast, "Hey" I said going over to the counter "Mom and Dad asleep, still?" I asked. "Yeah" Phil replied pouring a cup of coffee and handing it to me. "Thanks" I said and grabbed my People magazine, I leaned on the counter sipping my coffee and reading. When Phil finished making breakfast he put it all on plates on the table. "sit at the table, you are not an animal Lil" He told me as he poured himself a glass of orange juice. "You are going to be a great wife one day" I joked, "Ha-Ha, funny" He pretended to laugh. He was used to me calling him a woman by now.
I looked at the plate, a breakfast burrito, and toast. "So, are you hanging out with the gang today?" Phil asked. "Probably just Kimi earlier today then I might just go out for a bit" I lied. Kimi would be coming over to help me get ready for the date, and I would be going out but not alone. "Sounds cool, I don't know what I'm going to do. I might hang out with Tommy..." He was teasing me, I knew it. Some how he had figured it out, "I think he told me he was busy..." I lied. I didn't want to tell him now besides maybe he didn't know and I was just jumping to conclusions. "Chuckie has a trip for Boy scouts" I told him, "Oh well I might hang out with Dill again, he's pretty cool" Phil said. "He's in our lunch period, I think we should invite him to sit with us". "Sounds fine to me, I don't mind" I replied, I had never had a problem with Dill.
When we finished breakfast I did the dishes. That is how breakfast worked for us on the weekends, Phil made it. I could not cook for my life, then I would clean it all up. After breakfast I went upstairs and clicked on the TV. I had no plans until, three when Kimi was coming to help me get ready. I basically just lazed it all day, untill exactly three when there was a knock at the door. I was in the kitchen at the time, I had just gotten a shower and I was wearing sweatpants and a tank top. "I hope you weren't planning on wearing that" Kimi said as she walked in the house, "No, I wasn't" I laughed. We walked upstairs to my bedroom, I loved that my bedroom had a connected bathroom it was really good for privacy.
I sat on the stool in front of my vanity that was right next to my bathroom door, "so what were you thinking of wearing?" Kimi asked sitting on the corner of my bed. "I have no idea, I don't even know what we are doing tonight" I said looking into the mirror. "Well, knowing Tommy we should probably go casual" Kimi replied opening the closet. "Well what did you wear on you and Jace's first date?" I asked "I went casual you know jeans, leather jacket, boots" She replied she was concentrating on my clothes. "This could work" She smiled taking out a yellow sundress with white spots on it. It had a small white jacket to go with it. "It would look great with..." Kimi scanned her shoes, "these" she said whipping out a pair of white sandals. "That would be perfect, casual and a bit dressy" I exclaimed. Lots of girls hate to wear dresses but I don't I think I like dresses more than I like pants, call me a girly girl. So what?
I then got dressed and Kimi insisted on doing my makeup, that is her favorite thing was makeup. Ever since we turned fifteen she had an interest in it, she was really good too so I always let her when ever she wanted to. She did light eyeliner and massacre, light brown eyeshadow, powder foundation and light pink blush. I did my hair, I ended up going with a braid across the back of my head and kept the rest of my hair down. "You look great!" Kimi exclaimed when I showed her our final product. By the time we had finished it was four thirty, we went downstairs to drive to the Java Lava. Phil had taken the car to the Pickles' to hang out with Dill so Kimi drove me over. I could not wait, this was going to be one of the most amazing days ever.
*Tommy's POV*
When Phil showed up around three, I got nervous. I couldn't hang out now, if we hung out today he would wonder why I was leaving at five and I didn't want to lie. He just showed up to hang out with Dill though. Which was fine by me, I hung out with them for a bit but then kind of snuck out for my date. I drove over to the Java Lava playing Scream and Shout by will. , it was my new favorite song. When I finally got there, Lil was sitting at the bar drinking a Coffee. She was talking to Kimi and she just looked beautiful.
There was no one else in the joint, just us, Kimi, and Chaz Finster. "Hi" I said from the door, Lil looked over "Hey" she smiled. "You look really pretty" I said, I walked toward her and took her hand. "you do too-" Lil said "wait, I mean-" She was nervous. "I know, what you meant" I laughed. "Ready to go?" I asked "yeah" she replied, I lead her out of the shop. When I closed the front door I heard everyone say "awww". "So what are we doing?" Lil asked excitedly "I have been waiting forever to figure it out" I laughed. "Well I know you love cops, and I love movies. I looked into all this stuff and found out there is a documentary about cops in theatres, like about the things they have to do and go through on regular basis" I explained I had put alot of thought in to what we were going to do. "Sounds like fun!" she exclaimed, "Then I thought we would get some pizza".
*Lil's POV*
"Perfect" I smiled back. We got to the movies and Tommy ordered the tickets to Police Force, that's what the movie was called. We ordered sour patch kids, and blue slushies to eat, and made our way to the theatre. We sat down and the trailers began, I hated trailers. Then the movie began, Tommy put his arm around me and I put my head on his shoulder. As we got in to the movie I realized Tommy didn't do much research, on this movie. It was a movie done in a found footage format. It started out how we thought it would go a documentary about cops, and their lives. Then the ended up having to fight a woman who was possessed by the devil , leading to the death of all of them. defiantly not what we excepted.
We walked out of the theatre hand in hand, "I'm so sorry" He laughed "I had no idea, it would be that". I laughed too "I looked at the ticket before it started and I was like why would a documentary be rated R?" He sighed and stopped, we were walking to the pizza place because it was on a strip across from the movie theatre. He smiled and kissed me, right there. "So is this the start of something?" I asked "yes" He replied kissing me again.
*Tommy's POV*
At the end of the night I dropped Lil off at her house, we were officially dating. Lil Deville was my girl friend. We had, had an amazing date. I couldn't wait to see her again, soon we would tell all of our friends we were dating. I couldn't wait to scream it to the world.
When I got home I automatically went upstairs no one bothered me or anything, it was late but I didn't want to go to bed I was to excited. So I logged on to my computer, looked at some of the footage from the auditions. I had basically decided who was getting what part, by now but I always doubted myself up untill that moment when I posted it on the Pickles Productions facebook page. I then checked my email, this was the very first one to show up:
