I don't know why did I agree to go out only with him. I'm scared. Because the more I think about it, this is definitely a date. And I don't want this to be a disaster. I think I have a curse. It always end up badly. Mitch called it One Date Only Curse. ODOC means, the guy I go out with never return my calls after the first date. It was either their is no connection between us or he is not really my type after going out with him. Mason is the exception though. I was his experiment. He used me to figure out his sexuality.

Now I'm doubting this date. I never knew him. He is hot alright and he looks innocent. Wait can that be possible, innocently hot? Oh well. I don't think he is a bad guy. But if bad

things happen to me because of Cedric, I'll haunt Leah and Mitch for the rest of their lives.

With my mind running 100km/hour, I never notice that we have reached the lobby and not a single word was heard between us. Maybe he is scared too, just like me.

"Hey, i know this kind of awkward for you. I know I didn't message you for the past two days and then out of the blue I am here asking you out. I'm sorry with that and if you want i could just go and lets hang out next time" Cedric said as soon as we reach the main door.

"No, It's okay, I'm pretty sure you have a valid reason why you didn't contacted me" I looked

at him and smiled. "And we could take this opportunity to know each other."

"Again I'm really sorry about that, I just have a family problem that I need to take care of." He said while pouting. How can I be mad with that face.

"It's alright. So do you have in mind what should we do? Still wanna watch a movie?" I asked him.

"Actually I never expected this to be a date, this movie thing is Adrian's idea. I just really want to do something that can take things out of my mind. But since he bailed on us, I guess we could do other thing." He said.

"Oh really, you sure this is not your plan of kidnapping and make me as your personal slave and be locked me up in your basement. Maybe, the four of you plan this so that you can murder me? I know that because those two she devils upstairs always saying that they will murder me." Wow that is a long rant, and you know what he is doing right now? He is laughing his ass off. You know what, im outta here.

"Hey, hey! Im sorry. Don't go." He told me as soon as i back away. But something stops me. He is holding my wrist. Gosh i can feel his soft and warm hands. Please dont let go. I'll stay here, just dont let go of my hand. "I swear there is nothing like that. All i want is to relax and have fun. That is why agreed to Adrian's idea of the movie night. He just told me last minute that its the five of us. And then he said he can not come."

"Suuure whatever you say. Just so you know I'm still doubting you. So what do you wanna do then?"

"So I'm guessing I have to prove myself to you huh? How about this, you choose what should we do now. I hope, with that you will forgive me and believe me that I wasn't part of tonight plan or any evil plans that you have in your mind right now." He said to me while looking so sorry. Even his eyes are pleading to me.

So if I'm the one who's gonna choose our "date", I should impress him. what should we do? I

don't like this impromptu date. Ugh.

But you know what I'm just gonna be myself and show him what I do. if he doesn't like it, well screw him. And im not talking about sex. But hey, you never know, this might lead in to something.

"Well I'm just gonna be real here and show you what I do when I just want to be alone." I

told him. And he suddenly looked shock. Wait! what did i just say. Dammit. "Hey its not what you think okay. Nothing funny. But I don't know if you're gonna like it though."

"Well why don't you try me? Hit it." He said to me.

Does he know that what he said sounds dirty? Oh well, i started it.

"Well I just walk around either in a park or I take ttc and walk around downtown. But right now I'm feeling to walk around downtown, so I'm suggesting if you wanna walk around downtown. And I remember from Friday that you don't usually take public transit. So I'm suggesting to do that. Oh wow, I'm blubbering, I'll let you decide now. So what do you think?"

"You know what, that sounds fantastic, I thought that's a best idea for a first date. And your

right, it's been years when I last used ttc. Last Friday was my first time again. So if were taking ttc, can I just leave my car here?"

Dammit, he got lambo. Now why did i say we could take subway. Dammit. "Wow nice car, but yeah you could just leave it here. Visitors parking is until 2am and I'm pretty sure we'll be back then. So let's go."

"It's three dollars for the fare right?" he asked me.

"Yup." So that proves to me that it's been a long time when he took a public transit. Oh well time to break the ice now.

"How about we start from start and forget what happen a while ago?" I asked him. And it feels

like he is debating if he agrees with my suggestion.

"Works for me, I'm Cedric by the way" he said smiling to me and offering a handshake.

I took his hand and damn, i already felt it a while ago but holding it feels different. It's so soft and so warm. Can i just hold his hands forever. Wait what are we doing again? Oh yeah, starting all over again. "Hi, I'm Princeton but everyone calls me Prince. So what do you do for a living?"

"Well nice to meet you my highness" he said smiling to me and doing the bowing thing again.

Seriously people always makes fun of my name. They need to stop. "I work in a small company as a Computer Programmer. How about you?"

Oh wow, a hot nerdy. This could be fun. "Huh, you're a geek, but you don't look like

one." I teased him.

"You could say that" he said shyly.

I laughed because he looks cute when he is being shy. I'm pretty sure he is older than me a bit. But I can make him shy.

"My turn" I said when I finally stopped myself from laughing. "I work at Tim's and

that is why we met. And I'm in summer off from my college program."

"And your program would be?" He asked.

"It's DMA, Digital Media Arts. It's like graphic design but its different, I think."

"Wow, thats cool. We're a match, i do coding, you do designs. We could partner up or something." He said to me but then he just realize what he just said. I know what he said, he said WE'RE MATCH! Ahhhh Internal screaming. What am i thinking, he didnt mean it that way. Oh well.

"It's alright, i know what you mean." I said and realize that we are in front of the subway entrance already. "Come on, its this way." I told him and grabbed his wrist, yeah my turn to hold him.

We went inside the subway and tapped my card and directed him go the other entrance because he is entering by paying cash.

"Come on lets go southbound it's eight stops to where im planning for us to go." I said to him while waiting for the train.

"So now you are the one with an evil plan, huh. I should have run away a while ago. You are doubting me but look who got an evil plan now." He said while giving me a devious look,

Ugh, i cant with him. "Yeah, i have an evil plan. Im gonna drug you then rape you then dump your lifeless body when im done." I said to him trying to look serious and scary.

"I knew it, you're evil, looks can be deceiving." He said smiling. Dammit, he knows im just kidding. But i like him. He can ride my jokes.

The train arrived and we entered it. There was no seats so we just stand up and hold in to the railing. And you know what, we are facing each other. He is a bit taller than me. Im on his lips. Wow, those lips are so cute. So kissable. And his scent is so intoxicating. I like his perfume. But im not good at names so i dont know what it is. All i know he smells good.

All of a sudden i noticed that he is smiling. "Do you like what you smell?"

Dammit, now i can feel my cheeks blushing. He caught me smelling him, well sniffing him.I just kept quiet the entire time and try to concentrate to something else.

"It's alright, you can smell all you want, i'm not stopping you." He said.

"I'm not smelling you okay." I stayed quiet until the train started to slow down for the next stop. All of sudden, i can feel him losing his balance so i tried to grab him. I'm already use to taking ttc so i know how to balance.

"Thanks" when he finally caught his balance and the people came in and out of the train. There was a lot of people ride in this train so we got separated. I can still see him though. Now is my time to clear up my thoughts and toughen up. I'm not gonna blush so easily.

After few stations, people disappear and i took the chance to get near him again. I should tell him where almost there.

"Hey, did you miss me?" He told me when i get near him.

"Not really, i got enough people surrounded me that time to think about you. Anywho, where almost there. Do you wanna get something eat or let's walk around first?" I asked him.

"Well I'm not hungry yet? Are you?" He asked me.

"Well im not that hungry, we could just walk around first and then we will just figure out something when we got hungry."

"Sounds good. By the way, do you do this often? This just going downtown and walk around." He asked me.

"Yeah, i love doing it, especially when i need inspiration. Sometimes i have this assignments or side projects that i dont have any idea what to do. So i just get out and walk around and hope to found an inspiration. Most of the time it works." I said smiling.

"That's really cool, maybe next time you can show me your works."

"Sure why not, but you can see it online, i have my own site that you can check. I put my stuff in there." I notice that it is our next stop. "We're getting off on the next stop."

"Alright. Too be honest, i'm excited. It's been a long time when i just go to downtown and have fun. My work is there but i don't usually go out. So, im excited to explore downtown again, and now with a very good tour guide." He then winked at me.

"Hey, im not your tour guide. I thought it is a date?"

"AHA! You said date. Can't take that back" He said smiling. He got me.

"Whatever, but will still see at the end if it is a good or a bad date." I said smiling back.
