Chapter 2: Wait, we forgot something
I had no idea where to start in my list, so I called Anais.
"Why not start with the blind date?" she suggests. I thought about it, a bit meh about that task, but on second thought, I have that to get rid off.
"When?"
"I'll set you up on one tomorrow night!"
"I'm not fond of the idea of you setting me up"
"Oh come on, you know I'll give the best for you, if it works out, you can actually complete your list with someone other than me." She was right, if it does work out, even if it wouldn't, I can complete kissing in the rain and..
Falling in love
"Fine" I groan and hear a squeal in the other end.
"Well, see you tomorrow! I'll be coming over to do your..do" she jokes.
"Yeah.." I started, unsure. "No, maybe helping me pick out an outfit would be better."
"Aww fine." she gave in and said goodbye before ending the call.
I kept my phone and laid down, thinking about everything. Everyone understood me and how I felt about my condition. I didn't want pity and they know that, that's why they don't bring it up. I didn't like feeling weak.
-*-
"So who is it?" I asked her.
"Who's who?" Anais grins.
"The date--"
"Blind date" she cuts me off, "You're not allowed to find out, Rina. That's the whole point of a blind date."
"Is it because of that really or is it that you haven't found anyone to set me up with?" I ask, trying to keep a straight face. She looks at me seriously.
"You'll just have to wait and see"
"Oh puh-lease. Just tell me already." I groan.
"Curiosity killed the cat" someone said behind me, making me jump in my seat.
"Oh for fuck sake" I shout before whipping me head back to glare at the person--not just anyone though. "Blaze." I roll my eyes.
"Why is it that you're always so curious?" he smirks.
"Why is it that you always smirk?"
"Because--"
"Stop flirting with my sister, Blaze" Axel interrupts him before pulling him back from his collar.
"Couldn't resist, sorry. See you later, Cat" he winks. Ah, so he smirks AND winks. Here we can conclude he's a manwhore.
When I turn back to Anais, she was smirking.
"What?"
"Nothing" she looks at her food and finish it.
"So.. do you plan on telling me who it is?" I push
"You'll just have to find out" she smirks again.
What kind of disease does Blaze give everyone? Germasmirk? That sounds weird.
-*-
"What about this?" I ask for the 16th time, no exaggeration.
"Blue?" she tilts her head, meaning she didn't like it. I groan and walked back in the bathroom.
I decided to wear shorts, a white crop top and a checkered flannel, paired with my black converse. I walked out and glared at her.
"Well, it's--"
"Zip it. I'm wearing this." I cut her off and put my lipstick on.
"It looks awesome" she laughs, raising her hands in defeat.
"Sure it does. Where would I meet this guy and how could I even be sure I can trust him?" I asked her while unplugging my phone from the charger.
"Just trust me, please? And he'll pick you up"
"You told him my address?!" I shouted, loud enough for the neighbors to hear. After that commotion, we hear footsteps getting closer.
"What's wrong, sis?" he peeks in and sees me. "Girls night out?" he asks.
"Nah, she has a date" Anais spills. Her eyes widen when she realizes what she did and turned to me for help. You're on your own, sorry.
"What date?" Axel turns to me for confirmation but then we hear a beep from outside.
"Anais will fill you in on the details, I got to go" I grin and rush out of the door, sliding past my brother.
As soon as I got out of the house, I hear a comment that makes know immediately who it was.
"Sup, Cat"
"Blaze." I spat.
"What did I do to make you hate me?" he asks, feigning hurt. He does make a point, why did I hate him?
"Hate is a deep word, maybe dislike would be better."
"But why?"
"Curiosity killed the cat" I smirk, using his words against him. Oh great, I got the Germasmirk too.
"Oh, you want to play that game? Get in the car already" he laughs. "Nice outfit by the way"
"I wouldn't have dressed nicely if I knew it was you"
"No need to play hard to get, Cat"
-*-
"Where are we going?" I ask.
"Curiosity killed the cat" he answers.
"Okay, now you're just making fun of me, better to just get me back home" I was getting annoyed now.
"Fine, we're going to the movies"
I suddenly remember my list, Go to a drive-in movie. "Why not a drive-in movie instead?" I blurted.
"Good idea" he smiles.
"And where do we find that?
"Just trust me"
"Yes, trust someone I barely know"
He suddenly turns right and took a few more turns before slowing down. From the distance, I could see a group of cars huddled up in front of a billboard. He takes a spot in the middle and turned the engine off.
"Let's get to know each other then" he faced me, smirking mind'you.
"Wait, we forgot something." I stare him the face and he looked at me, shocked.
"They're in the glove compartment, don't worry" he stares back at me oddly, so I gave him a confused look and he continued. "I didn't think you'd be so straight-forward. I mean, couldn't you wait til' after the date?"
"What?" My eyes widen in realization. "Oh god, no. I didn't mean that! I meant food, we forgot the food."
"Oh, it's in the back, I was thinking of sneaking them in the cinema" he rubbed his neck and faced front, clearly embarrassed of the misconception.
"I guess I was right, you are a manwhore" I said while reaching for the snacks.
"Excuse me?" he asked with an amused smirk.
"You instantly thought of doing the dirty--"
"I thought that was what you were trying to imply" he defended.
"But it wasn't" I raise a brow at him when I got back in my seat, chip in hand.
"Sure it wasn't" he chuckles before reaching into the bag of chips as the movie started.
-*-
"Thanks, I guess this date wasn't so bad after all, including the fact that I didn't know who the date was." I laugh.
"No problem, your friend didn't need to convince me much. I was interested in the idea you're out to get a blind date, sad I didn't get to second base though"
"Gross" I shiver as I start to get out of the car. "Seriously though, it was fun." I smile.
"Yeah it was, Goodnight, Cat" he smiles and waves me goodbye before driving away.
As soon as I got into the house, I was greeted with my brother's glare. Seriously? No, How was your date? or anything?
"How was your date?" he asked with a fake smile. Maybe it was better if he didn't ask.
"It was okay" I shrug.
"Okay, let's not beat around the bush. Why did you make that list? Are you giving up?" his expression softened.
"I just want to feel the thrill, okay? Let me have this, please" I plead and he sighs.
"Just take care of yourself"
He bids me goodnight and I head into my room, changing into my pajamas and getting some rest.
2 crossed off, 23 to go.
Updated twice! Yay! Hope you guys like it. I do have to say it'll only be a short story but it'll be a fun one--hopefully. Every chapter would contain something from the list to be crossed off to I don't think there would be any filler chapter here. Action and romance though? Plenty!
