So Bella has an actual boyfriend, one who calls her his girlfriend. Brett might actually have feelings and they are all out on a date. What will happen later?
Dinner was delicious, dessert was even better, and all of it was enhanced by the simple fact that I was on a date, with Keith. He seemed to like being with me, and close to me.
"The movie is about to start," Keith said after was had finished dessert and paid the bill. "We should probably get over there." So we all headed over to the theater, bought our tickets, and found some seats in the top corner of the theater where we were fairly secluded. As soon as the lights went off Brett and Beth went back to their previous activities while Keith and I sat and watched the movie. After the movie we all went back to the car and Keith asked me,
"So do you want to go somewhere else or just go back home?" This was a tricky question. It meant that he wanted to hang out more and he was trying to see if I had enjoyed myself enough to agree with him. I did want to, but I was afraid my mom was going to be home soon. "We could go back to my house and just hang out," he suggested. I decided that I could just tell my mom that I had been out with friends and she would be OK with it.
"Sounds good to me," I replied. As soon as we got to his house Brett and Beth mysteriously disappeared while Keith and I went to the kitchen. He got us something to drink and we just sat and talked like we always had. Being with him was so easy. Conversation wasn't forced and we could just sit in a comfortable silence simply enjoying each other's company. At about ten-thirty he offered to take me home and we both left.
Once we were in the car and about to pull out of the driveway I realized that Brett and Beth weren't with us. "Shouldn't we get Brett and Beth so you can take them home too?" I questioned, not particularly enjoying the thought of having them in the backseat again, but also not wanting to have them stuck at Keith's house.
"Oh, he lives near here and she'll probably stay the night with him."
"OK," I replied, slightly confused but accepting it all the same.
The whole drive back was spent listening to and discussing whatever music came on the radio. If I had been unsure at first of whether we could make this work and if he was really my kind of guy, all those doubts were gone. He seemed perfect. Even when it was quiet we were comfortable. All my stereotypical thinking had been totally wrong. I imagined most of the 'jocks' to be guys like Brett, except maybe not as much of a jerk, but Keith proved me wrong. Many of his friends were very nice and he himself was amazing.
I spent that night thinking of what we would or could do on our next date, whether we should continue our coffee outings, and just about Keith in general. My dreams that night were slightly disturbing though. All the guys I had seen at the lunch table and their girlfriends were in a huge group and standing closer to me were Brett and Keith. As I took a step towards him, two girls appeared by his side, both wearing tiny pink skirts and tight tops. He looped one arm around each of their waists, pulled them closer to himself, and turned away from me. I continued to try to walk towards him but he just kept getting farther and farther away.
I woke up with a jolt and looked at the clock that sat on my bedside table. It read six forty-five in the morning, time to get up and get ready to go to work. I tried to put the dream out of my head by busying myself with the small tasks of getting ready.
As I grabbed my keys my phone rang so I grabbed it as I walked out of the door to my car.
So it was a great night. Bella seems happy in life, but what about her dreams? Do they actually mean anything or are they just random thoughts playing in her head trying to mess her up? Review please, I love them, they make my day : )
