Saturday morning I woke in excitement for my date with Rachel. Instead of being the calm cool Jason, I was nervous and excited. Before going to pick her up I decided to get her some flowers. What am i doing this is crazy I have been on dates with tons of girls but not once have I ever gotten them flowers nor been nervous for a date, but with Rachel everything mattered. Everything was different. At the flower shop I was overwhelmed by all the vibrant colors and exotic smells, and fragrances.
"Excuse me sir, do you think you can help me find some flowers?"
"Sure, what is the occasion, and who are they for."
"Its the first date with this girl I really like." The worker laughed at me.
"Hmmm I have some sunflowers, pink roses, and..."
"What about those?" I pointed to some purple flowers that remind me of rachel.
"Violets. Good choice, i'll ring you up right over here." After paying for the flowers I began walking towards Jinx's apartment. I couldn't help but smile knowing I was about to have a great time with Rachel I looked down at the flowers knowing she was going to love them. As I was walking I bumped into a sadly familiar face who could ruin everything for me.
"Jason! Hey dude, I never see you around at this time of day."
"Hey Carl." Carl was my boss and my only family. He found me in the streets at the age of six and he taught me everything I know today. He also taught me how to steal, cheat, and con my way through life, and how to always get my way. Now that i'm older he gave me the identity of Red X, the master thief, and Carl tells me what to steal, and when, and gives me a pretty big paycheck any time I do. He was also the last person I wanted to find out I was about to go on date with Rachel.
"Don't seem so miserable to see me. So who the flowers for?"
"This girl" I mumbled.
"Oh, Jason has a girl now... good for you, does she know your dirty little secret?" He said and I got so angry
that I went up to him and grabbed him by the collar.
"I swear if you."
"Jason if you make the wrong move right now I will ruin you." I put carl down right away knowing he was right. He had all the power over me. "So what's her name?"
"Rachel." I grumbled under my breath.
"What I couldn't hear you?" Carl cupped his ear.
"Rachel!" I said louder.
"Oh okay and when do I get to meet this Rachel...Seems serious since you never bring a girl flowers."
"Never." I said and pushed passed carl and walked away.
"Remember Jason there are no secrets between me and you. See you tonight." I flinched knowing I had to
report to him tonight for our next heist. When I finally arrived at Rachel's she was wearing a really pretty red shirt with black jeans she looked beautiful.
"Here, theses are for you." I handed her the flowers.
"Aww Jason thier beautiful." she took them and smelt them. "They smell great too." She went back inside to put them in water. It was nice she live on the college campus so we didn't have to walk far to the theatre it gave us time to talk and just basque in each others company. At the movie theater I paid for her ticket and some pop corn. We got to our seats just in time, the previews began showing. Rachel scooted closer to me.
"Jason I have to admit something." she whispered.
"What?" I smiled and whispered back.
"I am terrified of scary movies." I let out a small laugh and she punched me for laughing at her. "Its not funny, the scare me for life."
"Okay well I am here so you can latch onto my arm if you need to and you can look away anytime."
"Alright thanks." And even before the movie began she grabbed onto my arm so tight and pressed her face to my arm.
"You know the movie hasn't even started yet right?" She didn't answer she just kept her face pressed against my arm. Once the movie was over I began to walk her to work.
"So did you watch or see any of the movie?"
"Nope." She answered and I laughed out loud, we both did. As we arrived at the dinner I saw Diana and I waved to her. "Well thank you for taking me out."
"Oh it was no problem at all I hope you enjoyed your self even though you were like hiding the whole time." Rachel laughed again which made me smile. I knelt down a little to capture her lips. Sadly I got a text interrupting our kiss from Carl of course. I looked at it r'ed ruby at the museum'. It was my mission. "I got to get to work, I will see you later. yeah?"
"Yeah" she smiled at me. I heard someone laugh out really loud and I looked at all the booth in the diner and Cral was in one of them. I guess he did some digging on who Rachel was. I was fuming with anger then I received another text from the mad mad who was a mere few feet away from me 'pearl necklace also at the jewelry store in gotham, its about 30 miles out you better get going'. Carl was doing this on purpose now to get me away from Rachel I slammed my phone shut and Rachel just looked at me confused.
"Is everything okay?" she asked.
"Yes everything is fine. I got to go, if you need anything let me know, be safe walking home okay?"
"Okay." And I kissed her on top of her forehead and left.
In the diner
"Hey rachel can you cover booth number 3 for me I need to manage the birthday party at booth 7."
"Yeah no problem Diana." I went out of the kitchen to booth number 3. "Hello sir what can I get you today?"
"Hello..." He looked at my name tag. "Rachel... Rachel roth, my name is Carl and i'll just take a burger with fries please."
"No problem Carl, that will be right out." Rachel walked away and Carl was sitting in his booth with an evil smirk.
