First Date - 5 parter
First Date
Part One
‘In the car, I just can’t wait
To pick you up on our very first date
Is it cool if I hold your hand?’
Chrissie stood in her bedroom in front of the full-length mirror, with little over two hours to get ready and she was all ready in a tizz. She’d decided the night before what she was going to wear, or thought she’d want to wear. But this morning when she had awakened and opened her eyes she seen the outfit hanging on the wardrobe and had disliked it immediately. It was too formal, she wasn’t sure where they were going, but she didn’t want to look as if she was trying to hard, or not hard enough she wasn’t interested.
She took a deep cleansing breath then another; it was just a date, a harmless date where she would enjoy his company and have a little fun. It was just a date, she told herself, she’d been on them before, it would be fine.
She sat on the small white stool of her dressing table and told herself to just relax, the tension to drain from her body. But her stomach began to flutter; the butterflies that had lain dormant all day were awake and had begun to flutter their little wings. It was a giddy feeling, a giddy exciting feeling she hadn’t felt in so long it was good, it felt good and that’s all that mattered.
Little Mo- Chrissie
Chrissie looked away from her image in the mirror, yes Mo
Little Mo- we’re out of salt and vinegar crisps
Chrissie- there’s a box in the cellar
Little Mo smiled, good luck for tonight
Chrissie smiled back and felt the butterflies beat their wings again
Jake was standing at the bar in Scarlet going over orders, or that was what he was suppose to be doing. But he was thinking of Chrissie and his imagination was in overdrive as it always was when he thought about her. He shook his head as if the clear the thoughts about what could happened this evening from his mind, he had a job too do here then he’d be with her.
He stared down at the order forms spread over the bar and just grinned, he went over his plans for the evening in head, he wanted everything to be perfect. She deserved perfection after what she’d been through lately and he was going to make sure it happened.
Johnny walked out of the office and laughed when he saw Jake standing at the bar looking into space grinning to himself. Jake?
Jake- oh Johnny?
Johnny- sorry to interrupt
Jake- no it’s ok, just doing these orders?
Johnny laughed, really? Well take off when you’ve finished I know you’ve got that big date tonight
Jake smiled, thanks Johnny
Jake turned from Johnny and looked down at the papers in front of him on the bar and felt something, a strange giddy feeling ran through his body, he laughed, he was nervous and it felt good.
‘Do you like my stupid hair?
Would you guess that I didn’t know what to wear?
I’m just scared of what you think’
