THE DATE.
I buckled my seatbelt as I hopped into the front seat. "Ahh," my mother sighs," I remember my first date.." my mother said. "Were you nervous? What was it like?" I question. The whole ride there she relives her first date, she tells me about how handsome the boy was and how he was so kind, etc etc . Before I knew it we were there. "There it is!" I gasped mentally.
"Have fun kiddo! Don't forget to give me a call!" she says as I jump out of the car. "Thanks! Okay love you bye!" I reply as I close the car door. I walk up to the Café, excited, nervous, happy, panicking all at the same time. I looked at my watch; 7:00 on the dot. I hope I'm not too early.
* * * I push open the Café door and the bell overhead jingles, signaling a new customer. I scan the room, and there he is- looking as handsome as ever. I shyly walk up to him. He greets me with a smile, I was about to pull out my chair when, "No no, let me!" he insists, as he stand up and walks around the table to pull it out for me, he then gently pushes me in. "Thank you , sir" I giggle. "My pleasure,Miss." he winks at me.
My heart melts. He walks back to the other side and resumes his seat. He smiles at me. "oh excuse me, as you know I'm Kyle... But what is you name?" he asks politely. "Oh... Nothing special... It's just.. Casey..." I sigh. "You're too modest... Casey is a beautiful name. He tells me. I blush and tuck my cinnamon brown fringe behind my ear. "Kyle...I'm a complete stranger to you... Why did you choose me?what about the others?" I mumble. "Why do you doubt yourself so much? Why do you compare yourself with others? There not better than you, nor are you better than them. Everyone is equal, even though we may not be treated that way.." he pinpoints exactly what I've been doing.
I gasp taken aback, "How-How did you know thats how i feel? I wonder. "everyone does it from time to time... You just have to wake up one day and realize that who you are is all you need to be and you don't need to change for anyone else." My eyes moistened, I looked away.
"Casey, as soon as I saws you I knew you were different... You seemed trustable, I've been looking for someone like you! Someone whom I feel right with. And someone who doesn't see me just for my 'looks'" he confessed. He let out a gasp, afraid he'd said too much. I looked into his eyes. We held each others gaze for a while, my heart started racing and doing little 'flip flops'. "Can you feel that?..." he whispered... "You feel it to?" I gasp my eyes widening. I giggle and looked away first.
"Want something to eat?" he asks considerately. "No thanks, I'm kinda not hungry.." I smile. He laughs "Me either" he agrees. "Could we go for a walk maybe?" I suggest. "Great idea" he smiles. He gets up first, walks around the table and pulled out my chair for me. "Thank you" I blush. I hold his hand to steady my self as I'm standing up, A tingling sensation runs through my hand, we looked at each other at the same time - our eyes both asking the same question. I know that he felt it too.
