Chapter II
Syd's POV
I was lying on my bed talking to Peanuts about how dreamy the kiss I shared with Sky yesterday was. It was a one sided conversation though because after all Peanuts was a stuffed animal, but I didn't mind.
"Peanuts, I want to kiss Sky again. I don't want to stop kissing him, ever. When the two of us kiss, fireworks go off and I feel all giddy inside. I get butterflies in my stomach just being around him. I can't get over how handsome he is Peanuts. He makes me feel special. He-" I started to say before I stopped mid-sentence upon seeing Sky wander into my room.
I wonder what Sky is thinking about? Maybe he's thinking about me, and why shouldn't he? That was some kiss we had yesterday. I can't even remember what I ate yesterday for dinner. All I remember about yesterday was the kiss.
"Sky, are you ok?" I asked worried about why he was so distracted.
He looked into my eyes to answer my question with those gorgeous blue eyes of his. He was only looking at me, and I already felt like I was on cloud nine.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Why do you ask?" he answered.
"Well for starters, you seem to be deep in thought. Secondly, you must have been so deep in thought that you became unaware of your surroundings because you're not at the doorway to my room, you're all the way in my room," I replied.
Sky glanced first to his left and then to his right to check his surroundings. In doing so, I was no longer to gaze at his eyes.
"I was just doing some thinking about yesterday. You know, when we kissed. Do you have feelings for me? Because that wasn't exactly the first time you and I have kissed. Now I know relationships are frowned upon at the Academy since we're supposed to keep things strictly professional, but I don't care. I say let them frown. Unless of course you don't have feelings for me, which in that case, forget what I just said," Sky said.
Mark my words Sky, it won't be the last time that you and I kiss either as you are about to find out right now. I approached Sky and stood on my tiptoes and planted a kiss on his lips.
"Does that answer your question?" I asked.
Sky and I just kissed again! Sky and I just kissed again! Ok, Syd! Get a hold of yourself! You're calm. You're cool. You're collected.
"I'm afraid I didn't get that, so do you mind telling me again?" Sky asked while wagging his eyebrows.
I giggled. You don't need to ask me twice Sky. Do I mind telling you again you ask? Oh, do I ever! Our lips locked in a deep, passionate kiss. Oh yeah, this was so much better than a brief peck on the lips. I had an idea.
"Say, do you feel like doing something later tonight?" I asked.
"What did you have in mind?" Sky replied.
"Well, how about dinner and a movie? What time are you off tonight?" I asked.
"7 and you?" Sky asked back.
"5, but that's ok. It'll probably take that long for me to get ready anyways," I answered.
Oh no! What am I going to wear? Ok, Syd think. We're going to dinner and a movie, so you don't want to wear anything too sophisticated. This is too big of a decision for me to make on my own. What I need is another girl's opinion. I'll just ask Z to help me pick out what I'll wear tonight once my shift ends. I hope Z is off by 5.
"Alright, well I'll stop by around 7:30?" Sky suggested.
"Ok, it's a date!" I said cheerfully.
Oh my God! Oh my God! I can't believe it! I'm going on my first date with Sky tonight! I thought this day would never come! Maybe I should pinch myself to see if I'm dreaming because surely this is too good to be true. I should tell Z. I can't wait to see the look on her face when I tell her that I have a date with Sky tonight. I darted past Sky in search of my roommate.
XXXXXXXXXX
It was about 5:30. I had just got done taking a shower after getting off work. I was flipping through my closet trying to figure out what to wear for my date tonight.
"Z, help me! What should I wear?" I asked my roommate out of desperation after flipping through several hangers of clothes and not finding anything I thought was appropriate.
Z was lying on her bed with her headphones on and music blaring. I went over to her and disconnected her headphones.
"Z, I have a serious problem! I don't know what to wear!" I whined.
Z rolled her eyes at me. She reluctantly went over to my closet and started searching through my apparel.
"Why don't you wear this?" Z asked holding up a dress.
I examined the dress she suggested. It wasn't too fancy, but there was something wrong with it.
"That dress makes me look fat though," I remarked.
Z threw the dress on my bed and resumed her search. She came across a blouse that she thought was fitting.
"That would probably work, but what am I going to wear with it?" I asked.
Z searched through my selection of bottoms for a few moments. She found a mini skirt and showed it to me.
"Eww! That doesn't go with the blouse!" I shrieked.
Z threw the mini skirt on the bed. "Well, what does go with it then? Skirts won't work at all?" she asked.
I looked carefully at the blouse. "Not necessarily. It just depends on the skirt." I answered.
Z displayed her disapproval by grunting. "Why don't you just take over from here Syd? I'm not the right person to help pick out what clothes to wear," Z said.
"Z, you can't leave me! I have a date with Sky tonight in case you have forgotten. I need to be ready in less than two hours!" I stated.
Z rolled here eyes. She handed me a pair of blue jeans.
"Huh? Do these even fit? I guess I should try them on," I said while slipping the jeans on. I examined myself in a mirror. "Oh God no! These make my butt look too big!" I remarked while squirming my way out of the tight fitting jeans as best as I could.
Z handed me another pair of blue jeans.
"That shade of blue really doesn't go with the blouse," I commented.
God, does Z have no fashion sense at all? The clothing she's picked out had been hideous!
Z handed me another pair of blue jeans of a different shade of blue.
"Now this would work," I said as I slipped into them to make sure they fit.
Z was about to leave the room.
"Z! We're not done yet! What about shoes?" I asked.
XXXXXXXXXX
It was finally 7:30. Isn't it funny how when you want time to speed up, it goes by so slowly? When you want time to slow down though, it goes by real fast too. That's so not fair! I saw Sky approach my room. I noticed he had one hand behind his back. What did he have back there?
"Syd, these are for you," Sky said handing me a bouquet of beautiful pink carnations. I gasped at the gesture and at the sheer beauty of the flowers. Flowers. Ah, so romantic.
"Oh Sky, these are beautiful," I said accepting the flowers. I smelled them and the scent was just as nice.
"Maybe, but they aren't half as beautiful as you are," Sky commented.
Aww! That was such a sweet thing to say Sky! Wow, you sure know how to treat a lady! We hugged each other. I felt so safe in his arms and so comfortable.
"Ugh! Get a room you two! A room that isn't mine!" Z remarked.
Sky and I both glared at her. This is my room too Z! If you don't like it so much, why don't you leave? Nobody's making you stay.
"Wow Sky, I had no idea you even had clothes aside from your S.P.D. uniform," Z added.
I was fighting an overwhelming urge to slap Z for ruining the moment for me and Sky. She's probably just jealous. Yeah, that's it. I have a boyfriend and she doesn't.
"So, are you ready to go?" Sky asked.
"Let's go," I answered.
Sky took my hand and we left my room. The two of us looked into each other's eyes as we were walking to the parking garage. I wonder what Sky is thinking about right now. When we got to the parking garage, Sky opened the door of the jeep for me.
"Aw, thanks Sky. It's nice to know chivalry still exists," I said.
Sky gave me a warm smile in return. He really should smile more often. He has a beautiful smile. There's only one first date and I had a feeling this one would be something special.
XXXXXXXXXX
We pulled into the parking lot of a restaurant. Sky got out first and came around and opened my door for me. Aww! He's such a gentleman!
"Thanks," I said with a smile.
When we got to the entrance of the restaurant, Sky opened the door for me. I could definitely get used to this. We entered the restaurant arm in arm and that was the first time that I really felt like Sky and I were a couple.
"Will it be just the two of you?" a waiter asked.
Sky didn't answer at first. I wondered why though.
"Yes, just the two of us," Sky replied.
"Do you prefer a booth or a table?" the waiter asked.
Sky looked at me for the answer. Aww! He's letting me decide. Calm down Syd! Don't gush so much or you'll be all gushed out before you even get to the second part of the date.
"A table's fine," I responded while trying to tone down my need to gush.
"Right this way," the waiter said heading us towards our table.
Sky pulled out the chair for me. I giggled. He certainly wasn't helping me when it came to not gushing.
"You know Sky, you don't have to do that every single time," I told him.
"I want to though Syd. You deserve the best," Sky answered.
My cheeks flushed. I averted my gaze so that Sky wouldn't see how badly I was blushing from his comment. So far, this date was everything that I envisioned it to be, and then some.
"Can I start you off with something to drink?" the waiter asked.
Uh, hello? I am only 18! I can't drink alcohol! What the heck is this waiter thinking? Sky isn't legal either! He's only 20!
"Water's fine," Sky answered.
Ok, so Sky ordered water. Maybe I should order water too. No, because then Sky will think I'm copying him. What to choose?
"Same here," I replied.
I saw Sky look at something out of the corner of his eye. He probably didn't think I noticed, but I did.
"You do realize that word about our dating is going to spread throughout the Academy like wildfire, don't you?" I asked.
"I know. I don't care though. Let them talk. All that matters to me is that I'm with the woman I love," I answered.
My eyes widened and my heart felt like it was in my throat. "You love me?" I all but shouted.
"I…uh…er…I mean…" Sky stuttered.
Sky sounds so cute when he stutters. My heart was racing. I was so thrilled to hear Sky say that he loves me, so why was he denying it? I giggled. "It's ok Sky. I love you too. You and I, it just feels right, you know?" I asked.
"Yeah, I know, but Syd, we're not alone," Sky said motioning over to a booth diagonal from us where the rest of B-Squad was sitting.
"That's ok Sky. I don't want us to be a secret anyways," I said.
That was for sure. I wanted everyone and their dog to know about Sky and me dating. That's right New Tech City, Sky and I are a couple.
"Yeah, but we don't have to sit together do we? I mean we are on a date after all," Sky replied.
I laughed. "Of course we don't have to sit with them. Right now, the only person I want to sit with is you," I answered.
I was kind of glad that the others were there though even if they were spying on us. The idea of Sky and me dating is one of those things that you'd have to see to believe.
XXXXXXXXXX
We finished dinner and headed to the second part of our date, the movie theatre. We were looking at the movies that were showing.
"So Syd, what movie do you want to see?" Sky asked.
The only movies that were showing at the time were a chick flick and some horror movie. On one hand, a chick flick would be nice because a) what girl doesn't love a chick flick? and b) the thought of Sky watching a chick flick is hysterical. A horror movie would be good though because then I would have an excuse to grab Sky and bury my head in his well toned chest. Ooh, I like the idea of that. No wait. I have an even better idea.
"I don't care. It's not like we're going to be doing much movie watching anyways," I said giving Sky a playful nudge.
"Chick flick it is, then," Sky said.
Sky watching a chick flick? I never thought I'd see the day. This should be interesting. Oh wait. That's right. We're going to be making out instead. Oh yeah. I can't wait!
We found some empty seats and sat down just as the lights started to dim. That was my cue. I leaned over and started making out with Sky. His lips were so soft. One of my biggest pet peeves is guys having chapped lips. When you go to kiss them, it makes it way too uncomfortable. Ooh, is Sky's tongue in my mouth? Two can play at that game mister! All of a sudden, I felt something hit my head. If I didn't know any better, I'd say it was popcorn.
"Do you feel that?" I asked stopping our make out session.
"Yeah, what is that?" Sky asked.
We both looked back and saw who the culprits were because they were still throwing popcorn despite the fact that we were now facing them. That's right folks. You heard me right. They. It was the rest of B-Squad. Ok, now I wasn't so glad that they followed us. Not to mention the fact, that it's going to take a long time to get all the butter smell out of my hair! I saw an usher walk over to them and shine a flashlight in their faces. He said something to them although I wasn't able to make out what he had said. Jack, Z, and Bridge got up out of their seats and exited the theatre. Sky and I waved bye to them as they left. Serves them right for ruining my hair! Now where were we? Oh yes, I was French kissing Sky!
XXXXXXXXXX
Sky and I arrived at the common room of the Academy. Jack, Z, and Bridge also happened to be there.
"It's too bad you missed the movie you guys. It was really good," Sky said.
"Yeah, it's a shame you got kicked out," I lied.
I saw Z glance at her watch. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the movie was supposed to end at 11?" Z asked.
Oh great. We are so busted. I silently mouthed the words "you tell them!" to Sky only to have him do the same to me. After that went nowhere, Sky finally spoke up.
"We got kicked out too," Sky said.
Jack, Z, and Bridge burst out laughing. Come on now. It's not that funny! What are they laughing for anyways? They don't even know why we got kicked out. At least I don't think they do.
"Did you two even watch the movie at all?" Jack asked barely able to stop himself from laughing.
Of course we did! Let's see the movie was about a girl. And this girl fell in love with a guy. Ok, fine we didn't watch the movie!
"Apparently, everyone in the theatre was watching me and Syd make out instead of the movie, so we got kicked out," Sky explained.
"We figured that," Z remarked.
I went over to Sky and kissed him goodnight. Now to get this horrible butter smell out of my hair!
Liked it? Loved it? Tell me in a review. No flames please.
