Dinner and Awkwardness

It was Friday and I knew Lindsey was somewhere with her friends so I didn't bother asking her to hang out. I walked over to my locker and was a little lost in my thoughts when I heard someone say, "Hey" it really wasn't loud but it scared me since I wasn't paying attention.

I jumped a bit and turning around noticed Lindsey standing beside me. "Hey what's up" she smiled, "Oh my god I'm so tired, I had the weirdest day" I looked at her and closed my locker, smiling. She always managed to put a smile on my face. "Well I had like 3 tests out of which I failed like 2" she laughed. I put my arm around her.

"Poor Lindsey, I'm sorry" she smiled and pouted trying to look all cute. "Aw thanks Brae" I grabbed my book bag and started walking down towards the parking lot. "You skating today" she shook her head, "Too lazy" I laughed, "Nice" she nodded jokingly, "Oh of course" I wanted to tell her so bad, that I liked her so much but I was scared to how she would respond.

"Lindsey…" she looked at me weird. "Yeah Brae" I looked down and then back up at her. "You want to come to dinner tonight" she smiled and nodded, "Sure I have nothing to do anyways, I'd love to" my entire heart jumping, I was so happy. "Great, I'll see you tonight" she smiled and waved getting into her car.

As soon as she drove away I practically jumped. "YES!" I really liked Lindsey and now asked her out, and she accepted. Now was this a date? I didn't know if she knew I asked her out to an actual date so this was probably just a friends thing. I shrugged, oh well, at least I get to be with her and at this point that was all that mattered.

When I got home I noticed Ava, Susannah and Nikki were cooking and now I had to ask them to meet Lindsey which was a little nerve wrecking. "Ava…" I said a little nervously. "Mhmm" she looked at me smiling. "Can Lindsey come over for dinner" she flipped her hair out of her face and smiled wider.

"Of course sweetie, you know your friends are always welcome…you are just friends or are you more" she asked. "Friends" I told her, although I prayed it would be more by the end of the night.

"Thanks" I hugged her, "You're great" she seemed satisfied and went back to cooking. I went to change before dinner. After about 20 times changing my outfit I finally decided on a striped blue polo and khaki shorts. I went out to answer the door and Jay just looked at me.

"Wow you look nice, it doesn't look like you're with your 'friend' quote on quote" he laughed. I rolled my eyes and opened the door. "Hey Brae, wow I hope I'm not dressed to fancy, I didn't know what to wear" she laughed nervously.

"That's cool, not at all, you look awesome" I hugged her and led her inside. When we got in the light I noticed how she looked, she was absolutely gorgeous. Her hair was wavy and went over her shoulders, she had on some light blue makeup and her lips were really shiny. A black dress went over her tiny body and a red flower in her hair. She noticed me staring at her with my mouth open wide.

"Wow" was all I said, this amazing girl took my breath away. She blushed and looked down. "Okay well let's eat" I took her hand and led her over to the table. Derrick looked at her, "Are you my brother's girlfriend" he asked, I blushed so bad. "Derrick" I warned looking at him but he ignored me.

I really didn't know what to think about what we were so she looked at me and then back down. "No, we're just friends" I nodded; "Would you stop bothering Lindsey" she laughed and went back to eating.

After dinner we just talked and I noticed I had quickly fallen for Lindsey really badly and I think Jay and Ava and Susannah noticed the excessive flirting that I was trying to get her to notice me, but she completely blew me off without even noticing it.

"Okay well I need to go home it's late" I got up and was about to lead her out when Jay was about to get up I noticed Ava grabbed his hand and let the two of us go alone. I was really thankful at this point.

"Let me drive you home" she smiled and I got into the car, opening the door for her. She walked in and thanked me. It was the most awkward ride home, complete silence. "Okay well I had a good time, thanks Bradin" I nodded and took her hand and led her out of the car and towards her door. I didn't know what to do.

She stopped and fiddled a little with her key before finally finding the right one. She seemed nervous, I really wanted to kiss her, hold her, and have her beside me forever. I removed a piece of hair from her face and smiled. "Why is this so hard…?" I sighed shaking my head. "What" her smile faded and she looked down.

I pushed her chin up and without even thinking gently brushed my lips against hers in a gentle kiss. Surprising to me, she didn't pull away. Her mouth went and closed around mine. She sighed a bit and started slowly kissing me back, tracing my bottom lip with her tongue I opened and let her in. I wondered if this was a dream but no, it was very real.

She slowly pulled away and looked at me, her mouth open wide looking at me. "Wow" I smiled. "Yeah, wow" I didn't know what else to say after SHE said wow. "Goodnight Bradin" I nodded and waved, "Goodnight Lindsey" she walked in and closed the door.

I was almost spinning around the parking lot and I didn't know if she saw me, nor did I care, I was in complete heaven. After driving home, smiling the entire time, I got inside and Jay looked at me, then at Ava and Susannah and then back at me.

"Had a good time" I snapped back to reality, "Huh…oh yeah, sure" I ran upstairs and Jay followed me. "Hey, what happened, you're so happy all of the sudden" I shrugged, "Nothing" but I couldn't hold back my happiness.

"Oh come on I know you better then that" I smiled, "You finally get your kiss" he asked. Oh come on it wasn't that obvious! I nodded, "Yeah, finally" he smiled. "Well I think its about time, I know you really like her" I nodded, "You together now" I shrugged, "I really don't know I'll have to see" he laughed a little and patted me on the back and went back down the stairs.

I turned out the lights and laid back down on my bed thinking about tonight. I had fallen for Lindsey since the moment I'd seen her and now I knew she had at least the tiniest feelings for me. She was so completely and now I was happy she knew. I fell into an easy, peaceful sleep and was excited about the next day to see what would happen between us but I knew I wanted her in my life forever, I was in love with her and there was no more denying.
