Chapter 3: The Date

I started to put on my regular jeans and a plain tee. Dressing in a skirt or dress might make him think I'm taking this date so seriously. Plus, it's just the movies, we aren't going to dinner afterwards or beforehand. Right? I slowly started to panic in my head. Should I change? Is it too late? Should I call and ask? I don't want to seem rude.

Than my phone rings. "I'm here," said Carter. I put on my shoes and went down stairs. I was still ringing with questions and the anxiety was running up and down. I didn't want to be rude and ask him a lot of questions or not talk that much.

I get in his car and I sit there quietly at first. "So where are we going?" I asked. Carter smiled and didn't say anything. "Is it a surprise?" He nodded his head. I slowly started panicking. I hate surprises more than anything. If anything he could be trying to kill me for all I know. We start driving downtown which has a lot of restaurants and mysterious alley ways, so this can go two ways. He parks in front of a restaurant called Je'taíme's. It's supposed to be one of the best restaurants in town. We parked across the street and got seated quickly. "I've never eaten here before. I've always wanted to though."

Carter smiled, "I know the owner, plus I made a reservations," Carter said. I was really surprised. No one has treated me this well. I felt almost loved for once in my life. He order a bottle of champagne for us. I'm not much of an alcohol person, but I can make an exception for tonight.

"So I have to ask," I said. I was kind of nervous but felt like I needed to ask. "What's something about a girl that turns you off?" He took a sip of his drink and looked almost nervous to tell me.

"Cigarettes, alcoholics, and druggies," he said. When I heard that my heart stopped. He didn't know I was an addict. This man was so cute but he has no idea about how I really am. All he knows is that my job is at a photo studio and I got to Toto's for coffee. I was planning on telling him what's wrong with me, but now I'm just scared what he will say.






We went the rest of the night talking about each other's jobs and stuff I wouldn't expect. I found out he works at the animal shelter for 7 years. I found that sweet. Any man who works for something like that automatically has my heart. He drove me home and we decided we should go on a second date. The only problem was, now I have to hide my addiction harder.
