"Are you ready Harley dear?" I'm greeted by Nathan right as I walk out into the gym.
He's gently tossing the basketball around in his hands, holding it almost like it's light as a feather, taunting me in a way.
I nod, tightening my ponytail. "Can I see the ball for a sec?" I ask.
"Come and get it." Now that's a challenge I'll take, bud.
I walk with short strides over to him, leaving hardly half a foot of space between us and look up at him.
I trace my fingers up his chest, his eyes watching my every move. Good, his attention has been captured, just as planned.
My small hand finds the back of his neck and I rise up on my toes, my calf muscles flexing as I do. I'm still an inch or two shorter than he is, though it'll do for my sneaky little plan.
"W-what are you doing." He murmurs, searching my face for any logical reason. Winning.
I plant a butterfly kiss just below his ear, holding back a smirk at the way his breath hitches. I keep planting soft butterfly kisses down his jaw, to the corner of his lips and he drops the basketball, as I was hoping he'd do.
I quickly tear myself away from him, grab the basketball and swish a three before he can even react.
"Three - nothing. Love." I snicker at the end of my sentence, using his pet name for me against him.
"That was low Harley." He says, shooting daggers at me.
I trace my finger down his jaw, smirking at the way his breathing stutters. "It worked though, love."
"Okay yeah that's annoying as shit."
"Hence why I don't like you calling me that."
"Whatever. Game on."
*-*
I curse loudly as Nathan sinks a three, officially winning our one on one game.
"Looking forward to our date Harley?"
"Never. But I'm sure you are."
"Oh you betcha."
"So when is this hell date."
"Does an hour from now work?" I pull my phone out of my bag and check the time. 7:37.
"Yeah, I guess. Where are we going."
"How about a fro-yo date my love."
"Yeah sure. I can wear jeans and my..." I stop my sentence, realizing I don't have my converse back.
"Your what sweetpea?" He asks, smirking
"Nothing. I'll see you in an hour."I say curtly. I walk past him, making sure to shoulder check him in the process.
"Wait Harley!" He calls after me, but I ignore him, dead set on making this the worst date he'll ever be on.
~
Since I decided on putting little to no effort into this little date, I threw my basketball hoodie back on over a baby blue tank top and paired it with a pair of ripped skinny jeans and my black low top converse.
I texted Nathan that he could fucking pick me up so I didn't waste gas on this dumbass date.
I set out the door with emergency money, my phone and a scowl when he honked the horn of his black truck.
It was when I hopped in the truck when it occurred to me that I must've put my shoes in Nathan's truck instead of Collin's.
I can feel the tension between us as I stare out the window. It's not long before I become uncomfortable and break the ice.
"I'm sorry I stormed out earlier."
Nathan glances at me from the corner of his eye. "You had every right. Actually why don't you just, not go on a date with me."
By the time he finishes his sentence we're pulled over, parked ironically in front of Amber's house.
Before he can change the gear I grab his hand and he glances at me skeptically. "It's okay. Let's go on this date. Forget everything else."
"Really?"
"After all, a deal's a deal." I smile softly at him and his face splits into a bright grin.
"You got it dude."
"You just—"
"Hell yes I did."
"I love you forever."
"Oh really?"
"Only in your dreams bub."
"That's not what I dream about." He winks suggestively and I scrunch up my nose.
"Ew ya nasty." Nathan laughs at my disgust.
"You're cute when you're disgusted." He teases.
"Pft. I'm cute always." I reply cockily.
He mutters something under his breath that I don't catch and don't worry about as we pull into downtown where all the amazing window shops and cafés are located.
Nathan puts the truck in park and I brush some strands of hair out of my face and re-tie my shoe that came un-tied.
I open the door quickly and fail to realize that Nathan was going to open my door for me. And I hit him in the face.
"Oh! Oh my gosh. Oh God you're nose is bleeding shit! I'm sorry!"
"There's Kleenex in the glove box." He mutters, clutching his nose.
"Here let me help." I hold the tissues to his nose and he takes them from me. "I am so sorry. What can I do?"
"Right here nurse." He taps his lips with a finger.
"Maybe later." I wink, brushing his hair out of his eyes.
"Can I hold you to that?" He questions.
"Sure have at it." But it ain't gonna happen.
"Okay then. It's stopped, we can go have our date now."
"I feel really bad. Seriously are you okay Nathan? What can I do?"
"I'm fine, thanks. Now to our date cupcake." He motions toward the door of the frozen yogurt place.
Wait a damn second. I am NOT supposed to be enjoying this date.
I am so screwed.
"Cake batter my dearest?"
"But of course."
"Don't forget the fudge and sprinkles." Nathan teases.
"You get me." QUIT LIKING THIS.
"Yeah yeah. I'll get yours too. Could you find a table?"
"Yeah I got it."
I smile as he slides my frozen yogurt in front of me, exactly how I like it.
We're both fairly silent besides the small conversation basketball about the Warriors.
"Hey Harley?" Nathan's voice draws my attention to his face rather than our conjoined hands.
"Yeah?" I smile softly, moving my thumb back and forth on the top of his hand.
"I think that lady wants us to leave." He whispers, pointing to the owner was sitting at the counter, shooting daggers at Nathan.
"I guess we probably should." I stand up and straighten my hoodie while Nathan throws away our garbage and we walk out the door side by side.
Both of us are silent on the way to my house, but it's a comfortable silence and a short drive.
"Goodnight Harley." He says before I open the door to his truck.
"Goodnight Nathan." I actually had a good damn time.
"Two weeks hot stuff." Nathan yells out the window as he drives away.
I groan walking up the driveway and onto the rickety porch.
What happened to the worst date ever plan Har?
*-*
BOOM POW THE SOUND OF THOSE SPARKS BETWEEN THESE TWO.
Okay yas. Just yas.

Alright I'm leaving now BAI. Lots of love <3
