Part One
"Forget this!"
The tie landed on floor with a 'thud,' and I cursed it. Why the hell would guys wanna wear stuff like that anyway? It's pointless if you ask me.
In fact, this whole dating thing is pointless. Why should I have to put up with stuff like this? I'm acting like a total softy just for some girl. I paused and thought about it. This wasn't just some girl.
This was Evelyn Carnahan.
Glancing in the mirror, I gulped.
'Oh! Straighten up, will ya! Don't you remember? You're the macho man! Tough-stuff-fight-first-ask-questions-later O'Connell! That's you! Are you gonna let her turn you into a big ol' hearts-and-flowers lovesick puppy?'
NO!
I grabbed the keys, and proudly marched to the car. On the outside, I can do anything! On the inside...
Help!
***
Let's see... did she say third house on the left... or right? Well, I'll try right. The car came to a stop and I turned it off as I observed the premises.
"Nice place..." I murmured. I got out of the car and began the long walk of no return. This was it! I pushed the doorbell, and a thought struck me.
I didn't get her anything!
Desperately, I began to search for anything I could give her. I started rummaging through my pockets.
5 bucks?
Nope.
A wrist watch?
Yeah right.
Suddenly, something caught my eye. Sitting there, about two feet away, wasting away in the ground, was my only hope. Lilies! Perfect! I grabbed a couple from Evelyn's small garden, and broke off the roots. She wouldn't notice, right?
Right?
I gained my posture, as the door opened. Standing in the doorframe was Evelyn. My god! She looked amazing! Her hair was down and curled, and she wore a black sparkly dress that ended at her kneecaps. On her feet wear black toe-open heals, and a small bracelet was dangling from her left ankle.
I felt my eyes go wide in amazement; like a kid at Christmas. Her reply was a blush as she avoided my eyes.
"Your right on time." She said coolly as she faced me.
You look... wonderful." I heard myself say.
Wonderful was not the word.
"Thank you."
We stood there in silence for a few moments, until I finally realized she was waiting on me. Promptly I offered her my arm, and we walked to the car. I open the door for her and she got in smiling at me. I hope that meant I was doing well so far. I decided to break the silence.
"Just so you know I-uh can't dance." I admitted.
Please don't laugh at me.
"Well, that makes two of us." She stated. It was my turn to smile. I shut the door and walked around to the other side of the car. As I got in I asked her why she wanted to go dancing.
"Something different, I suppose. Is that all right with you?" she seemed concerned. It was like I gave her a hint of not wanting to go.
"S'okay with me." I assured her.
What she didn't know is: if I was with her, doing anything I hated, I'd automatically begin to love it.
Heh... so long tough-stuff. Hello lovesick puppy.
****Author's Notes**** Yay! Two chapters so far, I hopefully will stop at five. That's my goal. Oh, and just so you know, I have no idea if Rick would really act this way, so please work with me. I don't think I mentioned that Rick and Evelyn don't belong to me. But now I have, so... yeah... Hopefully I'll update sometime this week. I now leave with my review jingle:
Okay folks, you know, What you should do. So, click on the button, Entitled "Review!"
Yeah, stinks doesn't it?
