Chapter 6
"Wow, you look amazing!" Faith said as I came down the stairs ready for my date with Alex
"Are you sure I don't look stupid? What if he doesn't think I look nice?" I asked frantically
(outfit: .comecgi/set?id=51063115 )
"Babe, you've already blown him away, he's yours!" Frances said smiling
My phone buzzed, I was hoping it was Alex but it was just my mom;
On my way home, be there in two hours
"Shit! Girls I need you to do me the biggest favour ever" I pleaded
"What?" Frances asked
"Ok, my mom's going to be here in two hours and all the stuff is still in her room. I need you to put them all back, just guess where they go if you don't know, then I sorta need you to leave so she thinks I'm at one of your houses" I explained whilst texting my mom back telling her I was at Faith's house, I'm a master at lying to my mom.
"Easy enough" Faith said, I laughed to myself because she had no idea how much stuff they had to put back.
My heart skipped a beat when there was a knock at the door, I could see him through the glass in the door. I composed myself went to answer it.
"Hey" he said through a smile, I slyly looked him up and down and my insides turned into butterflies when I realised how hot he looked. He was wearing black skinnies, a random navy t-shirt and a grey beanie, wow.
"Hi" I replied smiling, he pulled me into a hug and I literally went weak at my knees. "You look great" he said, making me blush "Thanks, so do you. So where are we going?" I asked "It's a surprise" he said grinned, I raised my eyebrow and we walked to his car.
ALEX
She really did look amazing; she was perfectly dressed for our date which surprised me considering she had no clue where she was going.
"Please tell me?" she pleaded for the fourth time in the car
"Nope, It's a surprise!" I said, laughing when she fake pouted
"Well, you suck!" she fake pouted
"We're nearly there, you're just impatient!" I said, holding back my inappropriate comment because something tells me she wouldn't find it as funny as Jack did this morning
"We're here!" I said I said after the ten minute drive, her eyes lit up when she saw where we were
"Oh wow, I haven't been to a carnival in forever!" she said smiling "Well today's your lucky day" I said as I got out of the car and ran round to open her door for her
"Aren't you a gentleman?" she smiled again, her smile was beautiful
We walked hand in hand to the entrance and I paid for our tickets
"Where to first?" I asked "That!" she said, pointing to the biggest, fastest, scariest ride in the park
"Unless you're afraid" she mocked
"Pssh, not at all" I lied, I was terrified.
We queued up and got on pretty quickly because there's not that many idiots willing to risk their lives on this thing.
We sat in the cart and Ivy noticed I was shaking uncontrollably "You don't have to you know" she said "Honestly I can handle it" I said reassuring myself more than I reassured her.
"Well, hold my hand and you'll be fine" she said, she looked me in the eye for half a second and her eyes shot back down to her feet as I took her hand in mine.
She laughed as soon as the ride started moving, it got faster and the turns became sharper, I don't understand how anyone could enjoy that. It was just an excuse for me to hold her hand.
IVY
It was cute that Alex would go on the ride for me, it was also cute that he was scared. I decided against dragging Alex on more scary rides so we stuck to go karts, laser tag and he even won me a little white teddy bear.
"I've had so much fun" I smiled once we were back in his car
"It's not over yet" he smiled
"More surprises?" I asked
"Mhm, you'll love this one" he said, I knew asking him where we were going would be useless so I changed the subject
"So, you're in a band right?" I asked
"Uh, yeah, how did you know?" he asked through a smile
"It came up on my twitter" I explained, hoping he would think nothing of it
"Oooh, someone twitter stalks me" he teased
"No I didn't, someone re-tweeted you and I just happened to end up on your page" I laughed
"So, you've heard us?" he asked
"Nah, I've just seen a picture" I told him
"Well, you kind of ruined the surprise, but you're coming to watch us right now" he said and I smiled, I was excited to see him play, I bet he is an amazing singer.
The rest of the car ride I listened to Alex telling me about the band, he formed it with Jack and Zack and Rian came later. They had quite a few songs and would love to get signed and apparently there was going to be talent scouts here tonight so they had to give their best performance.
"Where here!" he announced for the second time tonight, I looked up at a café, it was weird that he would play here but whatever.
We got out the car and Alex opened my door for me again then led me into the café, it all made sense once I was inside, all the tables and seats had been moved and there was a small stage at the front with an 'All Time Low' banner, so I assumed that's his band.
He led me to a table where Faith, Frances, Jack, Rian and Zack were sat, they all greeted us as we sat down and Frances and Faith looked straight at me, I gave him the look as if to say I'll tell you when the boys go play.
We still had half an hour before they played so we just sat and talked until they started playing, the boys left and I recapped mine and Alex's date but didn't get to tell them all of it by the boys ran on stage into place "How you guys doing tonight?" Alex shouted and everyone clapped and cheered, they had quite the fan base.
"This songs called Dear Maria!" he shouted and they all started playing
"I got your picture
I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle
And I'm the pen
When the lights go off
I wanna watch the way you
Take the stage by storm
The way you wrap those boys around your finger
Go on and play the leader
'Cause you know it's what you're good at
The low road for the fast track
Make every second last
'Cause I got your picture
I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle
And I'm the pen
Make it count when I'm the one
Who's selling you out
'Cause it feels like stealing hearts
Calling your name from the crowd
Then in the field you'll be the show girl of the home team
I'll be the narrator
Telling another tale of the American dream
I see your name in lights
We can make you a star
Girl, we'll take the world by storm
It isn't that hard
'Cause I got your picture
I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle
And I'm the pen
Make it count when I'm the one
Who's selling you out
'Cause it feels like stealing hearts
Calling your name from the crowd
Whoa...
Ha ha..
Take a breath, don't it sound so easy
Never had a doubt
Now I'm going crazy watching from the floor
Take a breath and let the rest come easy
Never settle down
'Cause the cash flow leaves me always wanting more
'Cause I got your picture
I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle
And I'm the pen
Make it count when I'm the one
Who's selling you out
'Cause it feels like stealing hearts
Calling your name from the crowd
'Cause I got your picture
I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle"
When the song finished everyone cheered, Alex looked so happy on stage, everyone knew that was where he was meant to be forever.
They played six songs after that one; Jasey Rae, Break Your Little Heart, Stella, Walls, We Say Summer and Sick Little Games.
They ran off stage and back over to our table
"So?" Alex asked me
"You were great" I smiled Jack said something about taking Frances home and Zack took Faith, Rian had already left so Alex and I headed to his car
"Did you really like it?" Alex asked shyly as we were driving
"You were amazing" I smiled at him
"Which one was your favorite?" he asked
"We say summer" I told him and his face lit up, his smile is just wow
"So…" he began "I was wondering if I could take you on another date?" he said, I could feel myself blush instantly
"I would love that" I smiled
We pulled up in my driveway he walked me to my door, my hand in his. It was just like a scene out of a romance movie, a girl being walked to her door by the guy she's been on the perfect date.
"Thank you for tonight, it's been perfect" I said smiling at the floor
"I'm glad you had fun" he smiled back, he lifted my head by pushing my chin up lightly until I was looking him directly in the eyes and he planted a kiss on my lips, it was perfect; not forceful or needy but light and caring.
"Goodnight" he whispered before turning around and walking back to his car.
