"Love is temporary madness"
"Amor es la locura temporario"
Psymon ran back inside and grabbed Dane by his collar, "I'm taking Elise out!"
"Yea, that's great and all…but, do you really have to dance around all excited? Want me to grab your purse and heels so we can dance in a circle around them? Ok seriously you can stop now."
"You don't understand, I really like her. Like really like her. I have been waiting for this chance for a looong time now."
"Ok calm down before you go into a epileptic seizure."
Psymon had been home for a couple of hours now. He had been planning everything for the night. He did have to spend a pretty penny but she was worth it. It was a good thing Steel MX still gave him the truck and his five grand. He really hoped she was outgoing and open to unique ideas. He was surprised that he actually thought of this on his own.
He wore dark wash jeans, a dark red fitting T-shirt with a black collared shirt buttoned half way with the sleeves rolled up. His favorite green hat didn't match his outfit so he opted to wear a black brimmed beanie which he pushed over to the side. "Good lord man, your sexy," he told his reflection spraying a little cologne on himself.
He pounded down the stairs keys in hand about to head out the door until Denise stopped him. "My don't you look handsome tonight."
"Yea, I wanna make a good impression."
She walked up to him and pulled his silver necklace from his inside his shirt. "Gracias Madre," she told him.
She kissed him on the cheek saying, "Bienvenida," then sent him on his way. Over the years she did pick up some of his Spanish, though she thought she sounded silly speaking it.
He finally arrived at her house and saw her open the door and walking out. He also spotted some guy looking out the window. She opened the door and climbed in. She wore a tight white shirt with skinny jeans and high black boots. Her golden blonde hair straightened.
"Hey," she said putting her seat belt on.
"Hey," he said smiling.
"So what do you have planned tonight?"
"Well…. You'll see. So who was that guy in your window?"
"Oh, that was my brother. I have five."
"Wow… maybe I should take you home, you had fun right?"
"Shut up," She laughed pushing his shoulder as they drove away.
Psymon pulled into a parking spot and heard Elise gasp, "Oh my gosh, I love the aquarium!"
"Alright, mission accomplished, let's go," he said getting out.
They walked up to main entrance as he gave his name and they were admitted. They wondered in looking at the colorful walls with paintings of colorful fish. They entered a hallway with many varieties of fish. Elise pointed out her favorite fish, which were about all of them.
"I like the clown fish," he told her pointing to it, "it's and unordinary color and I'm a clown."
She giggled, "No your not, I would label you as almost comedian."
"Almost?"
"Yes, Dane is definitely a comedian."
"Yea that kid comes up with the weirdest shit."
She grabbed his hand lacing her fingers and he down at her smiling. They then proceeded through. They came to a door which was closed and guarded by security.
Elise pouted, "Aww, the big fish dome thing is closed."
He pulled her along, "Let's see if we can get in."
The security guard stopped them, "It's closed for tonight."
Psymon went into his pocket and pulled out a card and flashed it to the guard. The guard smiled and opened the door. Psymon guided Elise by the small of her back as she gazed in.
The dome was nothing but glass and water. Sharks and turtles and colorful fish swam around in schools. In the middle of the dome was a small table with a red table cloth, silverware and candles.
She was speechless and Psymon saw it. "Impressed yet?" he asked pulling a chair out for her.
She sat down slowly, "Am I ever… wow… this is … I don't even know."
He sat down across from her. "I'm just glad you like it. I can't say I've ever done this for anybody before"
"This is amazing, just wait until I tell Farah."
"She'll be jealous," he joked.
A waiter came out and placed two covered plated in front of them. He took the lid off revealing chicken and other different foods.
"Chicken?" she asked, "I thought maybe it would be fish."
"That's just cruel," he told her laughing, "Plus the name of it was awesome. It's called kick ass chicken."
She laughed. "This is amazing, I didn't even know you could do this here."
"Well, as cheesy as this sounds, you yourself look amazing tonight."
He could see her blush.
"Thanks, you know, you don't look too bad either. You clean up nice."
"I try," he said as they continued on with their meal.
"So, have you ever dated anyone from our school?" she asked.
"Nah, I really never had a real girlfriend."
"Are you a virgin?"
He smiled raising his eyebrow, "My god your blunt but, no I'm not. And I'm not a manwhore either."
"No offense but… your sister…."
"Yea I know. I don't want to know, but I do. And I'm not like her. So don't think that or anything," he stopped himself realizing he was starting to blab.
"It's ok I didn't think that at all, your really sweet. But I don't understand how she failed Spanish class."
"Well she doesn't speak Spanish," he told her. He knew what was coming next by the confused look on her face.
"Aren't you Spanish?" he nodded yes, "and she's your sister…"
"Long story short, I was adopted. About ten years ago. I had a pretty bad childhood."
She held his hand from across the table, "Do you wanna talk about it?"
"Maybe later," he said with a smile. He didn't want to dampen the mood any more.
They finished with dinner and headed out. Psymon thanked the manager on his way out. Psymon opened the door and helped Elise in then walked around to his side climbing in.
"So where to now?" she asked.
"A drive in movie, you like comedy right?"
"Yea, but a drive in movie? There's none around here is there?"
"Sure there is," he said pulling out into the street and taking off. Elise watched him light up a cigarette and watched him puff on it. The way he inhaled and exhaled was captivating in some way. He did it with a certain manner she liked watching.
Psymon pulled up to his house backing into the drive way while pushing a button on a remote that opened the garage door. He parked it and got out. Elise followed suit. She looked at the TV as Psymon started to pull the bed cover off the truck.
"I get it now, drive in movie," she said almost breaking out laughing.
"Yup," he removed the cover completely to reveal an air mattress that fill the bed covered in plush comforters and pillows.
"Ever seen Wayne's World?" he asked.
"I can't say I have," she said removing her boots. He hit play and climbed in laying down. Elise made the daring move of crawling up next to him and laying down rested her head on his chest. He invited it positioning his arm around her shoulder.
Psymon reached behind into the corner and pulled out two wine coolers, "Want one? It's strawberry dackery." He said swishing it around she laughed while grabbing it from his hand and opening it. They watched the movie laughing and giggling. Elise laughed at the jokes he made and he laughed at hers.
The movie was finished and they were still laughing at the comedic antics of Wayne and Garth. Psymon threw their empty bottles away and closed the tailgate and attaching the cover back on.
He climbed in and started the truck. Elise was putting her boots back on and still laughing about scenes from the movie.
"You, know it sucks tonight has to end, I had such an amazing time tonight," she said.
"I know, I'm glad you liked it. I'd love to take you out again."
"Only if we can go to the drive in movie again," she joked.
"Of course."
