Drew: nanaaboualaiwa doesn't own anything, ever.
Chapter 14-The Date
3rd Person POV
After Leaf was recording, she just couldn't help but have this feeling something happened, and it kept on bugging. Eh, it's probably just me getting all jittery for my revenge! Why am I doing this? Because Gary deserves after what he has done to me! I never ever ever will be with that scumbag! Leaf thought to herself.
May and Leaf came up with lyrics for my new song Behind These Hazel Eyes. Leaf was on my laptop that had a mint green plastic cover on it with stickers saying stuff like 'Girl POWER!', 'Shut Up, I'm on my laptop ignoring you!' You know, all that wise inspirational quotes. She was on her laptop typing up the lyrics while May was checking up on Serena and Dawn, after about 5 minutes, May comes in with what looks like a smile on her face.
"Good news Leaf!" May exclaimed. "What?" Leaf asked, curious to know what the news was.
"Dawn finished her song! Serena has an amazing idea for a group song, and we are going to film our music videos in the next two weeks. So, we are going to be busy busy busy!" May said.
"Hope our new manager can keep up with all of this." Leaf said. The girls were still wondering who the new manager was. All they knew that she was a great singer back when she was younger, and she is really nice but firm.
"Don't worry, Sophie is talking with her explaining what's going on." May said while she brought up her pointer finger waving it around.
"Anyway, so how's the..." May said but was interrupted by her phone.
"Hello? Oh, Hi Drew!" May exclaimed.
"Hm, yeah, oh no I think I can. No, I totally understand, thanks for telling me. I'll be over in 20 minutes, bye Drew!" May said and hanged up her phone.
"What was that all about?" Leaf asked.
"Apparently Drew wants us to have a practice session right now since he will be super busy over the next two days." May said, "So I have to go, will you be fine?"
"Yeah, it's 4:30. And I should get ready for my date with the pervert." Leaf said and groaned as she got up.
"Leaf, are you really sure you want to do this?" May said, "It could hurt not only Gary but you as well."
"I, no I have to do this May. I need to." Leaf said, "I'll be fine, I promise."
"Fine, just maybe try to give him another chance?" May asked with a small smile.
"I'll consider." Leaf said. She grabbed her laptop and left the basement to her room to get ready.
"When did we get so stubborn?" May murmured and headed out to leave the house as well.
Now then, let's move on and see what our Miracle drummer girl is doing? Also, quick note: I probably won't be able to update every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night. This and robotics and homework are killing me already. Anyway, let's continue with the story, just needed to have a quick ranting session.
Leaf headed to her room and got ready for a shower. She grabbed her mint green robe with had an L and a G in a cursive font in black on the right pocket and on where her left breast would be.
She entered the shower and hissed when the cold water came on. She waited until it was warm enough to start her shower. She did her daily routine, rinse hair, shampoo it, rinse it out, shampoo again, rinse, conditioner, body soap her body, rinse body, and shave her legs and pits.
Leaf left her bathroom with her robe on and her hair up in a mint green towel, she saw an emerald green halter dress on her bed with a black leather jacket over it.
"Ugh, Serena is going to make me wear a dress, great…" Leaf murmured. As she was more of an athletic person and didn't like wearing fancy stuff. She brought it up took a couple looks at it. Heh, I will definitely impress Gary in this. Leaf thought without noticing that she said that she would impress Gary.
She took off her towel and put on the dress, she took a couple twirls in her full-length mirror. The dress was an emerald green halter dress that flared out, it went down to her knees, the flared-out part was draped chiffon. She dried out her hair and straighten it out. She did her makeup which was some pale pink lip gloss, foundation, concealer, mascara to accentuate her eyelashes, and some silver eyeshadow.
"LEAF YOUR DATE IS HERE!" Dawn yelled from downstairs. It was already 6:45 and their reservation was at 7.
"I'll be down soon!" Leaf yelled back. She grabbed some black pumps, she put the black jacket on and grabbed her black clutch with an emerald on it. The clutch contained money, her phone, and extra lip-gloss, in emergency situations as Dawn always said.
Leaf went down the stairs to see Dawn and Serena next the wall and saw Gary down at the end of the stairs. As May was off practicing with Drew. His face was shocked at the beauty he was face to face with. The dress made her look even more beautiful. His face started blushing and he thought about how strange it was not to have any dirty thoughts but chose to ignore it.
The girls were giggling, and Serena said, "I knew that dress me and Dawn designed would be perfect on you!"
Leaf blushed and went down the stairs. Gary was still shocked, so his face was looking pretty idiotic right now.
"hello? Gary?" Leaf said sweetly while waving her hand in his face. Gary almost sighed at how she said his name so sweet like.
"oh, uh, you look b-beautiful Leaf." Gary stuttered. What is going on? Gary Oak never stutters! He thought to himself.
Leaf's cheeks were a faint pink when he said that. Leaf finally took notice at what Gary was wearing. She started below to his feet, he was wearing black shoes that shined in the light, black socks, black dress pants. She went up to his chest to see a white button-up shirt and a black blazer over it. She could feel the bush start creeping up on her cheeks, but she continued oogling at Gary.
"Leaf?" Gary said, and Leaf snapped out of her thoughts. "Are you ready to go?" asked Gary.
"Huh? O-Oh yeah, l-let's go." Leaf said and headed out to Gary's sports car that was a silver color.
After about 10 minutes of silence, Leaf asked, "So what are we going to be doing on this date?"
"Well, I made reservations at Midnight Forest, we'll have dinner, then we can take a..." Gary said, while Leaf cut him off. "Wait, Midnight Forest?! That's my favorite restaurant but isn't super expensive?"
"Well, I remembered when you were younger you went there with your grandmother over the summer, you came back to Pallet Town saying how beautiful and how delicious the food is, so I thought you would enjoy coming back." Gary explained, "And you don't have to worry about paying, I got it."
He remembered my favorite restaurant! I think, I should give him a chance like May said, no, I can't. What if he hurts me again? What if…
Cutting off Leaf's thoughts Gary continued his date plans. "As I was saying, after dinner, I was going to take you on a nice simple walk in the park near the restaurant. Does that sound good?"
"Yeah, it sounds amazing!" Leaf exclaimed. Why do I feel so happy, and why is Gary not acting like a player or a pervert? I-I like this a lot.
After their silence continued that got to the restaurant and it was just as how Leaf remembered it from her childhood.
The outside was a tall 3-story building with moss all over it, looking like a forest. There were bushes with flowers and rivers with fish in there hopping along.
Gary took Leaf's hand and headed over the check in place.
"Reservation?" asked a mid-aged man who had a black mustache and wore green dress pants, a white apron around his waist, and a black dress shirt which had the restaurant logo on there.
"Reservation for Gary Oak." Gary said calmly, however Leaf was almost shaking from nervousness. Why am I nervous?! She thought.
"Ah, Mr. Oak." The reservation man said, "We've been expecting you and your date, follow me to your table." He ushered for them to follow them.
Leaf and Gary both heard whispers from around, saying how Leaf Green the drummer of the Miracles and Gary Oak, piano player of the Treblemakers were on a date.
"I should have expected whispers." Gary said, as he heard disappointing from fangirls around. They were whispering stuff like "Who's that girl Gare-Bear is with?" "Ugh, what is she wearing, she must have got it from a dumpster!"
Leaf felt as if she was a peasant. She didn't like how those girls were talking about Gary like. Am I jealous? Never! But how dare those bitches insult Serena and Dawn's dress, it's gorgeous!
"I hope they aren't bothering you, if you want, we can leave." Gary said. He's actually being sweet? Aw, it's cute.
"No, I don't want them to ruin our night, we can stay." Leaf said with a smile.
Gary tightened his hand which was still holding onto Leaf and gave her a genuine smile, like they were friends again.
They arrived at their table which was in a VIP lounge, a private room. The table was square, with a white tablecloth, and vines decorating the bottom of it.
Next to their table there was a river with the fish in there, and trees above their head.
They sat down in the chairs and looked at the menus.
In Unova the drinking age is 18, (This is totally made up! Please don't underage drink because your friends are doing it, it's actually very dangerous and breaking laws doesn't look great. Let's pretend that in Unova the drinking age is 18 cause apparently that's fine.) Gary and Leaf both ordered white wine as their drink.
"I think I'll have the Treasure Spaghetti. What about you?" Gary asked.
"I think I'll have the same thing." Leaf said.
"Waiter!" Gary said loud enough for a waiter to hear and snapped his fingers.
"We'll have the Treasure Spaghetti for our dish please." Gary said.
The waiter asked for anything else, and they both shook their heads and the waiter left to tell the cooks their order.
While waiting Leaf sipped her wine, Gary just tapped the table with his fingers. A leaf fell on Gary's face and he blew it off.
Leaf decided to take a risk and ask him a question.
"Why are you acting like this?" Leaf asked.
"What do you mean?" Gary asked back.
"Like how you usually act! Flirting at me, being a player, why?" Leaf asked.
"I figured you would want something else nice for a change. Why are you asking this? Do you want me to act like how I usually act like" Gary said smugly with a smirk on his face.
"No!" Leaf yelled; Gary furrowed a brow at her sudden behavior.
"Uh, what I mean is don't change. I like how you are acting right now. It reminds me of our childhood friendship." Leaf said while blushing.
Gary blushed a bit and thought, Wow, I really don't deserve Leaf. She is kind, caring, beautiful, smart, athletic, she is perfect. Too bad she would never like me again after what I did to her, I should really apologize.
"Leaf, I." Gary said and got interrupted by the waiter.
"We're sorry for what has happened, but we ran out of utensils to use to eat your spaghetti" the waiter said and ran off fast before Gary could say anything.
"Strange, and there's only one plate." Leaf said and came to a realization. This is just like Lady and The Tramp. My favorite Disney movie!
Suddenly Italian music was playing throughout the speakers around the room.
"Well, Bon Appetit!" Gary said and started slurping the pasta from the plate like in the movie.
Leaf continued to do the same. The both went for a spaghetti and Leaf was busy paying attention to the scenery while eating to realize that her face was centimeters from Gary's.
Gary, however, was paying full on attention and took this chance by slurping faster getting now millimeters to Leaf's face.
Leaf turned and Gary's lips were on hers now. Her eyes widened, but they fluttered to shut her eyes as she kissed him back.
Gary was equally as shocked as Leaf was when she was kissing him back. He moved his hands up to Leaf neck and tangled his hands in her silky hair.
Leaf moved her hands around Gary's neck as Gary's tongue slid over her bottom lip. Leaf before thinking it, opened her mouth giving out a soft moan as Gary explored her mouth.
They both broke apart needing oxygen to breathe. Their faces were both red, Leaf being a more crimson red and they were both panting.
"Wow..." they both breathed out. Leaf giggled and Gary chuckled as he brushed a strand of Leaf's hair and tucked it behind her ear.
"You know, you really are beautiful." Gary said with a smile, not a smirk, a smile. Leaf smiled back and after 5 minutes being in their arms Gary paid the bill and took Leaf out on their walk.
"Did you enjoy dinner?" Gary asked while holding Leaf's hand.
"I did. I really did have a great time." Leaf said.
"Listen Leaf, before you kick me in the guts, yell in my face, or slap my handsome face. Let me explain everything." Gary said. Leaf nodded though she knew what was going to happen.
"I-I'm sorry! For everything, I wasn't the greatest friend to you. I missed you and our friendship so much. I tried covering up my feelings by dating other girls like you, with hazel eyes, brown hair. None of them were you though. I continued dating other girls just to get rid of pain. When I saw you again after our fight, I thought you would be happy to see me again, so I flirted with you, you ended up being really mad at me. I deserved it." Gary chuckled and continued on. "You are the most beautiful, fiercest, smartest girl, I've ever met, please give me one more chance, and be my girlfriend. I really really like you." Gary said.
Leaf was in total shock. She was running through her thoughts a mile per minute.
Do I reject him like Serena and Dawn said, or do I give him a chance like May and Marina said?
Nana: That was a great cliffy! I wonder what happens next, oh wait I already know because I'm the author.
Also, my younger sister wants to say hi to all you guys out there!
Mila: Hi evewyone! My favowite Pokémon is Minccino! ^-^
Nana: Also, please let me know what you thought of that kissing scene. It was my first time writing a kiss scene and I'm not exactly happy about it.
Mila: Pweez Review *makes adorable faces* ^-^
Nana and May: AW!
Drew: I'm outta here, I need a vacation.
