Odd & Sam's First Date (see How Odd met Sam for first part)
Odd looked at Sam. They were
waiting for their detention and had started chatting.
Odd said:
"Tell you what. After we get our detention sorted out, how about we
go out for a drink?
My treat?"
"Your on!"
Sam said. And so it was agreed. Come end of the week they would go on
a date. And Today was that Day.
"Ok Odd, your the man. Be
calm, cool. You can do this." He took a deep breath, held it
then exhaled. "I just hope the others don't find out."
Luckily
everyone else had plans all ready. He knew Ulrich & Yumi would be
at her parents home tonight while Jeremie would be in his room on his
computer.
"No sweat" he said to his reflection. He left
the room and headed out to town.
He was going to meet her at this
great little cafe he knew. Whistling to himself, he walked in and sat
down. A few minutes later Sam walked in, dressed in a sleeveless red
jacket, black t-shirt, blue jeans and black shoes.
"Hey Sam,
over here!" he waved. He stood up and pulled out the opposite
chair for her. "What a gentleman" she said, sitting down.
"Only sometimes" he said, waging his eyebrows. She smiled
and said "It's not even a date proper, and your already putting
the moves on me."
"You better believe it" he smirked.
The smile froze on his face as he saw Jeremie walking up the street.
With the table being at the window he
would have no problem seeing him.
"Umm, excuse me please"
he said, ducking down. "Odd?" Sam asked.
Odd watched as
Jeremie passed by. "Whew!" he sighed.
"What're you
doing?" Sam said. Odd jumped, hitting his head on the
table.
"Ow. Uh, dropped my wallet. Heh heh." He rubbed
his head and groaned.
"I'm going to go get us some drinks.
What would you like?"
"Diet Coke please". "Sure
thing" Odd said, heading for the counter.
Halfway there he stopped and ducked behind a pillar.
"Damn" he thought, seeing Ulrich and Yumi there.
"They must have changed plans. Now what?" he wondered.
Fortunately for him they got up, payed
for their drinks and left "Sweet" he said.
"Here
you go. One diet coke, on the Odd". "Thanks" Sam said.
She sipped some Coke and said "This isn't too bad a place Odd.
Good setting for a date"
"Aw shucks, it's nothing"
Odd said. "I try my best. So Sam, you say you want to be a DJ
someday?"
"Yeah. I've got my own system, made some songs
on my own. I know someday I can be a famous DJ"
"Can I
listen to some of those songs sometime?" "Sure" Sam
said.
Odd was about to ask her something when suddenly Ulrich,
Jeremie and Yumi walked into the cafe.
Odd's eyes wen wide, and he grabbed his
menu, opened it and hid behind it.
"Uh, so see anything you
would like to eat?" he asked, peeking around the corner.
"Odd,
is something wrong?"
"Uh, no, no nothing. Why do you
ask?"
"Because your acting kinda...odd." Odd
watched as the gang went to a table at the far end, a pillar hiding
him from them. "Uh, it always happens when I'm with a cute girl"
he grinned.
"Smooth" she said, picking up her menu.
They had dinner without any other
mishaps, and Odd thought he would actually get away with it.
"Come
on, let's go." he said. "Where?" Sam asked. "It's
a surprise" he said.
He started to the counter and stopped.
All his friends where there, paying their bill.
"Uhm, it's
not that big a surprise" he said. "Let's enjoy one more
drink"
Sam looked at him with one eyebrow cocked, but
agreed.
Finally the gang left, giving Odd his chance. He paid the
bill and headed out when suddenly he hit someone. "Sorry-"
he started, then saw Ulrich holding his face, Yumi just behind him.
"You OK?" Sam asked. "Yeah, but next time tell your
boyfriend to watch his step" Ulrich muttered. "Hey, where
is he?" Sam said, looking around.
