Chapter 4 Date?
I was walking toward the front of the school to wait for Everett when Derron came up from behind me.
“Hey, Chris! Waiting for Everett?”
“Yes.”
“Oh. Giving me the cold shoulder, are you?” His eyebrows wiggled on his forehead.
“Yes.” My smirk warned him that I was kidding though, because my eyes were smiling.
“Then you’re going to get in trouble with me.” He was so corny.
“Oh, no!” I said in mock horror, my hands coming up to frame my face. “What are you going to do to me?”
“This!” He reached for me and met his mark. He tickled me ruthlessly, not giving me anytime to protest.
“Derron Patrick O’Hare! Stop!” I pleaded. I was leaning against him for support to stay standing.
“Hey Derron, why don’t you stop and let her breath?”
I turned to look and met Everett’s gaze. Derron let me go, his cheeks going bright red. I took a step away. Derron had a look on his face like a boy with his hand caught in the cookie jar.
“Sorry Chris. I guess that I got a little carried away.”
“It’s okay, Derron, I do it to you. There’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to do it to me.”
“No, a guy should never keep at what he is doing if the girl doesn’t want him to continue.” Everett had taken a step toward me while he said this. Now he turned to me and asked if I was okay. I said that I was, but when I looked back up at Derron he wasn’t there.
I looked back at Everett and saw concern in his eyes. He cared about things that other guys didn’t. He was more wonderful than I could imagine.
“Are you ready to tutor me?”
“Oh, right. Let’s go.”
We walked to my car and he started to smile. “What?” I asked.
“You drive a bug.”
“What’s wrong with a bug?”
“Nothing. I have some memories in a bug. That’s all.”
“Oh, well get in.” We got in and were half-way to my house when he turned on the radio. “What do you like?”
“Basically anything, I don’t really care.” He turned it to an oldie station and “Abracadabra” filled the car. Everett was obviously a fan of this song, because he started to sing along. I smiled to myself thinking of what was going through his mind.
All of a sudden when the chorus continued and said “gonna reach out and grab ya” Everett grabbed my arm and I jumped.
“Oh, sorry. I normally do that to my mom.” Did he really? That seemed a little strange.
“It’s okay; you just caught me off guard.”
“I won’t do it again.”
“I don’t mind, I really don’t care what you do, as long as you don’t make me wreck.”
We arrived at my house seven minutes later without any mishaps or contact. “Do you want something to eat or do you want to get to work?”
“We can get straight to work if you don’t mind.”
We headed up to my room. When we got there he stopped in my doorway. “Come on in.”
“Are you sure we should be in here?” He asks me.
“Oh my parents don’t care I can sit on my bed while you sit at my desk.”
He walked over to my desk, took out his book and turned to chapter seven. “Okay, I started having trouble with seven. Then I didn’t understand anything after that.”
I explained chapter seven and gave him a few problems to figure out. He completed them without a problem.
“Hey, I think I got it.” He turned to me with a huge smile on his face. He looked so hot.
“Here let me check them.” I checked them; he hadn’t gotten a single thing wrong. “Well, you must be a good student.”
“Or you could be a good teacher.”
I looked up to meet his eyes. He stood up and walked toward me. It was a matter of ten steps from the desk to my bed, but he took each step so slowly. When he reached me he stopped and lifted my hand from his paper. He was looking into my eyes the whole entire time.
“You have beautiful eyes.” He was actually paying attention to me.
“Thanks.” I never thought that there was something special about them. My brown hair always covered them.
He brushed my hair away as he sat down beside me on my bed. “You shouldn’t cover your eyes up. I’ve never seen blue with gold and green flecks.”
I smiled. I could feel the blush creeping into my cheeks. I turned away trying to calm my nerves.
He caught my chin and turned my face towards his. Our faces were so close, so close. I could feel his breath on my face. It was so warm.
“You’re-“
“Shh.” He put a finger on my lips to silence me. “Are you doing anything tomorrow night?”
“I have something at 5:00, but other than that no.”
“Good.” He smiled at me. He had removed his finger only to replace it to stop my questions. “Don’t say anything.”
I nodded my head so he would remove his finger again.
“Now, tomorrow night I’ll come pick you up at about 6:45 so we can get there on time,” His lips curved up into a small smile that reached his eyes.
“Where are we going?” I loved saying “we” as in a couple. It just felt so natural.
“It doesn’t matter. All you need to know is that you need to wear a black tank top and a miniskirt.”
Why would he tell me what I needed to wear? Was there a certain dress code?
“Okay. You’re lucky that I have both. Any particular type of shoes I should wear?” I tilted my head to the side, trying to use some of the flirting techniques that I had seen Annie use, but I felt ridiculous doing it and I blushed an even deeper red.
“You might want to wear flip-flops. You’re going to be standing a lot.”
“Okay.” Great, back to the one syllable sentences.
“Now I’ve got to go. I told my mom to pick me up at 5:00. See you later.”
“Do you want me to come with you?” I couldn't stand the thought of him leaving me here alone.
“No, I can see myself out. Thanks for helping me.”
“No problem,” I stood up to see him to the door.
“See you later.”
“Bye,” He closed the door as he left. I threw my self onto the bed. Oh my gosh! He touched me! He told me that I had pretty eyes and that he wants to go out with me tomorrow.
Well, tomorrow was Saturday. I had chores to do, and then I had to be at the park by 5:00 to meet my mystery person. Which had kept me on edge all day. I had a full day tomorrow, but first I had a full night to dream of Everett.
