CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE
CHAPTER 3: The Date
When Jamie left, Livvie raced back to the bathroom, where Val was.
She burst right into the bathroom, screaming and yelling with joy;
"Val, Val! Jamie asked me out!"
"Oh, my god! That's so cool!!!!" Val said. She shrieked, and hugged
Livvie.
"This is so awesome!" Val said. Livvie and Val lookd at each other and
shrieked. Then Livvie frowned.
"What am I going to wear?" She asked. Val laughed.
"Don't worry. We can go shopping tonight. I'm off-duty tonight." Val
replied.
"Cool." Livvie said.
***4 hours later***
Livvie entered her aunt's house, carrying 5 shopping bags stocked with
clothes from the mall. She kicked the door open, and set the bags down
with a sigh of relief. She then tried on all of her clothes. She had
tons of clothes, but she kept on going back to this one outfit that she
particulary liked. She decided to go with the outfit that she really
liked. That outfit was an orange spaghetti strap top, which straps
parted in the middle, and the straps lowcut, so you could see her backbone.
For pants, she bought tight blue hiphugger jeans. For shoes, she got
metallic blue colored tennis shoes.After she was done putting her new
clothes in her dresser, she put on her "today clothes" she was wearing.
Then she decided to try some jewelry. She tried on silver hoop earrings,
and a ring that said "hottie." on it. While she was fastening on a
necklace that also said "hottie," the door knocked.
"Come in." Livvie said. It was Tyler.
"Hey... how come you have a bunch of shopping bags?" He asked.
"I'm going out with Jamie in two days. Then I'm going to spend the night at Val's."
Livvie replied. The words echoed
in Tyler's head. He put on a strained smile.
"Y-You're going out with Jamie?" Tyler repeated. Livvie nodded and smiled.
"He makes me so happy." Livvie replied. Tyler left the room, shrugging it off.
**2 days later**
Thursday went by very slowly for Livvie. But finally, Friday was here!
She still had to get through school, though. Finally school was over. By
killing time, she ran off with Val, and she hung around the station for about
half an hour. When she looked at the clock, and realized that it was 4:30,
she scooted off back to her aunt's house. She decided to go onto the
Internet. Time flew by fast when she got on. She looked at the clock again,
and it was 5:30! Livvie logged off, and took a shower. Before she did, she
got everything set up. Her clothes to wear on her date, and packed some
clothes for her sleep over at Val's. Then she got into the shower.
When she got out of the shower, it was 6:00. So she put on her date clothes,
and she cracked open a book. She looked at the clock again and it was 6:20.
Livvie raced downstairs.
"Wow! You look great!" Livvie's aunt said. Tyler said absolutely nothing.
"Thank you!" Livvie said in reply.
"Now, you're going with Jamie, and then you're going to spend the night
at Val's?" Livvie's aunt asked. Livvie nodded.
"I'm going to come back to get my stuff." Livvie replied. Livvie's aunt
nudged Tyler in the arm.
"Doesn't your cousin look pretty?" She said.
"Yeah. Sure." Tyler replied. Livvie sighed. 'What is wrong with Tyler?'
she thought. She didn't have time to think. The doorbell rang. Livvie
jumped off the chair, and opened the door. There was Jamie, the same as
usual. Black hair, that was spiked, and chocolate brown eyes. Jamie was
carrying a rose in his hand. He handed it to Livvie, when she answered.
"You look great." Jamie said.
"Hey! Don't rush things!" Tyler snarled, coming behind Livvie.
"Tyler!" Livvie and Livvie's aunt gasped.
"Sorry." Tyler mumbled.
"Well... I have the motorcycle ready." Jamie said. Livvie's eyes bugged.
'Motorcycle?!' She thought. She exchanged good-byes with her aunt, and waved
to Tyler. When Jamie and Livvie left the house, Livvie squinted to make
sure there really *was* a motorcycle. Sure enough, parked on the curb was
a motorcycle. Livvie climbed in the back, and fastened on the passenger
helmet she found laying in the back. She wrapped her arms around Jamie's
waist. Jamie smiled to himself. As Jamie started the ignition and they sped off,
Livvie thought she saw Tyler all mad. She shrugged that off as well, and
asked Jamie:
"Where are we going?"
"What?" Jamie yelled back.
"I said, WHERE ARE WE GOING?" Livvie asked louder.
"Bob Evan's! I know a guy there!" Jamie shouted back. Livvie smiled to
herself. Bob Evan's is one of her favorite restaurants. They finally got
there after about a 15 minute ride. Jamie helped Livvie off the motorcycle,
vowing that he would never wash his hands again. They entered inside, and \
Jamie spotted a maitre'd about 2 years older than Jamie. Jamie and the maitre'd
shook hands.
"Oh, but who is this lovely lady?" She asked.
"My date." Jamie said through gritted teeth.
"Oh. Good choice." The maitre'd said. Jamie rolled his eyes in annoyance.
Livvie felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Can you please just sit us?" Jamie said. The maitre'd took 2 menus, and escorted
Jamie and Livvie to a table. When they got seated, and the maitre'd left,
Jamie leaned over and said to Livvie:
"Don't worry. He does that to every girl. Just ignore him."
Livvie felt better. Way better.
"So what are you going to order?" Jamie asked.
"I just might have the spaghetti with sausage." Livvie replied.
"I was thinking the same thing!" Jamie replied. Livvie smiled at Jamie,
and hid her glowering face behind the menu.
"I'm Al, and I'm here to take your order." The maitre'd said. The maitre'd
slipped in a piece of paper in Livvie's hands. She unfolded it and it had
his phone number. Livvie crumpled it up, and threw it away, when he wasn't
looking.
"What will you like to order?" Al asked.
"Spaghetti with sausage." Jamie and Livvie said at the same time. They
looked at each other and smiled.
"Right away." Al said. Al went away to take the orders down. He reappeared
15 minutes later, with their orders. After Jamie and Livvie ate their meal,
Jamie asked Livvie if they could stay for dessert.
"Um.. sure." Livvie replied. Jamie told Al that they would split a banana
split. Al left, and re-appeared 10 minutes later with ice cream.
When they polished off their ice cream, Jamie took out money for the bill.
"Oh, no. It's on me this time." Al said, and winked at Livvie. Livvie left
quickly. She glanced at her watch, and it was 9:30.
"What was that piece of paper that Al gave to you?" Jamie asked.
"His phone number." Livvie said, extremely annoyed. Jamie shook his head.
"I'm sorry about that. He can be so idiotic at times." Jamie said. Livvie
stared into Jamie's eyes, and just knew that Al had to be forgiven.
"There's this dance that's about an hour long. We have an hour left. We'll
go there." Jamie said. Livvie agreed. She put on her helmet again, and
climbed on the back. She held onto Jamie's waist, and they headed off.
**At the dance**
When they got in, Jamie and Livvie immediately started dancing. There were
people there from the ages of 12 to 25. There was a lot of fast dancing
songs. When Livvie looked at the clock, she noticed it was 10:15. The final
song came on. It was "Never had a Dream Come True" by S Club 7. Livvie felt
really nervous, as Jamie slipped his hands on Livvie's waist, and Livvie
put her hands around his neck. They just swayed back and forth. When the
song ended, Livvie and Jamie went on a ride back to Livvie's aunt's house,
and got her stuff.
**At Val's**
"So how was the date?" Val asked. She and Livvie were laying down on
their stomaches on Val's bed, with their feet hanging in the air.
"Nothing really. We went to Bob Evan's, and then to a dance club." Livvie
replied.
"Bob Evan's? Is there a maitre'd, the name of Al, annoying..." Val started
to say.
"Ugh! Yes! He was so annoying! When I first got there with Jamie, he said
stuff like 'Good choice Jamie', he slipped his phone number into my hand,
and winked at me and said that dinner and dessert was on him!" Livvie replied.
Val rolled her eyes.
"He was flirting with me too, when I went there." Val said.
"So tell me about this dance!" Val added.
"Well, there isn't much to tell. There was fast dancing, and then there
was a slow dance." Livvie replied. Val sat up, fast.
"Details!!" She demanded. Livvie giggled.
"It was called 'Never had a Dream Come True' by S Club 7, and we just danced."
Livvie replied.
"How?" Val asked.
"Well, Jamie slipped his hands on my waist, and I put my arms around his
neck, and we swayed." Livvie replied.
"Did a liplock come in?" Val asked.
"Val!" Livvie shrieked, giggling.
"I'm not ready yet!" Livvie replied. Val giggled.
"So I heard that Alex is considering me being an EMT." Livvie said.
"Oh, yeah! He really likes you. He said that you can come in for a test
on Monday." Val said. Livvie smiled at that. Being an EMT meant spending
more time with Jamie. Livvie and Val talked about their date all night,
and didn't go to sleep until 3:15.
