Chapter 19
Sansa smiled to herself as she began getting ready. It was time for her first date with Brian; while officially a couple they weren't in the open yet.
'You can do this, this will be fun...' She told herself happily. 'This will be my first real date since Joffrey, well...'
She shook her head and focused on getting dressed. The date would be mostly casual, just dinner and a movie, but she still wanted to look nice. Finally she was satisfied with her outfit; a pink mini skirt with flats in a paler shade of the same colour and a white tank-top, suitable for the warmer weather.
She quickly finished styling her hair into a simple but elegant bun and apply a coat of clear lip gloss, light mascara and she was ready. She could hardly wait, smiling she headed downstairs, ready to meet Brian when he arrived to pick her up.
When she heard the knock at the door she answered it and grinned when she saw Brian standing there.
"Hey, wow, you look great." He greeted her, grinning.
She returned the grin. "Thanks, you too."
She looked him up and down, he looked rather relaxed, clad in his khaki knee length shorts, blue and white collared T-shirt, white ankle socks and dark blue sneakers. She glanced down at her own outfit again, noting something from before; how much of her long slender legs were exposed by her skirt.
"Are you sure by the way, I mean, is my skirt not too short?"
He shook his head. "It's alright; trust me."
Grinning she took his hand, relieved and together they headed out, ready for their date.
Later, as they sat, enjoying their dinner in the restaurant; Brian pondered for a moment.
"You know, I was just wondering..." He said. "Sansa, what are your parents like, I've never met them?"
She nodded, thinking to herself. "That's true...I could arrange for you to meet them."
Sipping his tea Brian smiled. "That, would be great."
She nodded, she knew Brian knew her siblings, most of them, there was still other family members too, but her parents would surely be enough for starters.
They continued to enjoy the rest of the meal, casually chatting, Sansa was happy beyond belief; this was certainly the best date she had ever been on. Brian was certainly nothing like Joffrey, he was sweet, caring, he listened to her, let her talk; and he never bragged on talked down to her either.
'How could I have been so blind; Joffrey was like that from day one and I just didn't see it.' She thought sadly. 'Oh well, I hope everything goes alright; I mean, just because I'm happy with Brian doesn't mean I'm free of Joffrey yet. I need to be careful with this.'
While she knew all this to be true, she wouldn't let it spoil her night. This would be a happy night, she was determined to see that.
Only one thing gave her doubts, when they got to the cinema, the film turned out to be a horror film.
"Gods, um, this is..." She said quietly.
Seeing her expression Brian smiled softly. "Don't worry, it'll be fine."
"Fine?" She gasped. "I hate horror movies, I..."
Brian squeezed her hand reassuringly. "I'll be here."
She bit her lip but nodded and soon they entered. As Sansa predicted, she was terrified; cowering in her seat throughout the movie. The only thing keeping her from going to pieces was Brian, who did his best to comfort her.
"Oh my..." She whispered in horror.
Brian spoke gently. "Relax, it's alright."
She just whimpered; and prayed she'd make it through this. However some time later, her reactions began to change as she saw the villain a leprechaun produce something.
"Is that a pogo stick?"
Brian nodded. "Yeah."
She watched as the leprechaun began bouncing on his victim's chest on the pogo stick while singing a take on This Old Man. Her eyes widened as things began to change, becoming more and more ridiculous.
'Is that supposed to scare me?' She thought incredulously, before shaking her head. "Gods, okay, this isn't scary, it's stupid."
Smiling as he saw her change in demeanour, Brian nodded. "That's what I thought too."
They both laughed softly and soon they were both enjoying the rest of the movie.
Arriving home after the movie, Sansa was smiling brighter than ever before.
'Gods, this has been the most amazing night so far.' She thought in amazement. 'I; I can't wait to see where this takes us; we have to, we have to figure out how we're going to go public with our relationship.'
But again, for now, that could wait. Stepping out of Brian's car they stood in front of it, outside her front door.
"I had a lovely time." She said. "I know my parents are in but, I think it would be better if we arranged things, you know?"
Brian nodded. "I agree, I had a wonderful time too, I can't wait to see you tomorrow."
"Me too."
They kissed; enjoying the rush of emotions it brought before finally parting, Sansa heading inside while Brian drove home; both of them happier than they had been ever before in their lives.
