/ / Mitch's POV
"I'm ready," I hear Madeleine say as she appears from the bathroom. I hide my phone in my pocket and blush, "Wow, you look great." And she did. Her hair was tied back in a sleek pony tail and she had changed into a pixelated dirt block skirt (saw it on tumblr it was so cute ohmaigod) and a green shirt. not to sound cliche, but there was something about her that was different. I knew from the first minute of meeting her that she was an introvert, it was obvious, but there was something else there as well. "Thanks nice guy Mitch." She says ending my train of thought with a kiss on the cheek. It wasn't out of the ordinary, she and I had kissed more than a dozen times in the past 24 hours, only once for real though. It was nice. She was nice.
"Ready for Minecon?" She says with a grin.
"Yeah, let's go." I say grabbing her hand and leading her to the door. In the hallway she snakes around my arm and hangs on, smiling up at me. I haven't been in a relationship for maybe nine or ten months, and honestly I was getting lonely. You need someone once and a while. A few of my viewers noticed when I started liking sad music on YouTube. They realized before I did.
"Umm Mitch, where's the car?" Madeleine breaks away from my arm and looks around. The parking lot was full.
"Shit." It was nowhere to be seen.
"I look down here, you go down there?" I suggest, she nods. It would take us a long time to go through the whole lot.
After about ten minutes it seems hopeless. What are the boys going to say. We lost a car. A car! Holy shit, Holy shit.
"Babe I dunno where it is." Did I just say babe, what the fuck Mitch. I guess it's the nerves, I mean we lost a car.
"Here it is!" I hear three aisles away. And there it was, thank god. I run to Madeleine and fling her over my shoulder, she's laughing and yelling "Mitttccchhhh, put me down!" I prop her up on the trunk and look at her head on.
"I think you actually just saved my life Madeleine. Like actually. I honestly think they would have killed me."
She just smiles and shrugs," You're very welcome, can we go to the con yet?"
"One thing first." I say, she looks lost.
I reach up slowly and brush her hair out of her face. When I finally reach her lips I smell her fresh breath and I suddenly wish I had brushed my teeth. But she doesn't pull away, she rests her hands in my hair. I don't open my eyes, but I can tell a minute had passed. When I do pull away she looks at me with a soft smile.
"Would you like to go on a proper date sometime? For real?"
"Mitch," she says hesitantly with a frown.
"What's wrong?" I say confused.
"This is unrealistic, I'll never see you again. You live in Canada and I live in Chicago. Well I'm moving to Pennsylvania, but that's just further apart."
"You're moving to Pennsylvania? Why?"
"I'm going to U Penn."
"Well that's a little better."
"How so?"
"Jerome lives in New Jersey... Anyway you're missing the point. We'll figure it out as we go, please?"
"Okay, a proper date." She says after a few seconds, blushing. I grin.
"Okay, let's go. I bet they'll already be there."
