Chereads / Tragic Love / Chapter 21 - The Date

Chapter 21 - The Date

Justin's P.O.V

The 'bad boys' hadn't come to school for two whole days after I had beaten them the other day. Lol! They were probably really hurt and I guess Brandon had now learnt not to mess with new kids and most especially not me cos if he messed with me, I was going to mess him up... again!

******************

It was Saturday, the Saturday I was supposed to take Anastasia out. Bob and Mirabel were going to go out for a date night and Lisa went out with her friends, the cheerleaders and wasn't going to be back till late.

"Uncle Bob, can I take your Benz out today?" I asked Bob in the cutest voice I could fake then he came and sat beside me, on the sofa I sat on. I actually didn't have a definite name for him since I couldn't actually take him as my dad. Trust me; no one can ever take my dad's place in my life, never!

"Yeah. But firstly; why?" He asked. I knew he was going to ask and I just had to tell him the truth. There was no need to lie. "And call me Bob." He added.

'He'd just given a name for me to call him just when I felt the need of one,' I thought. He probably felt the weirdness I felt about the name 'Uncle Bob.' But I wasn't going to call him that. He was like twenty years older than me.

"Well... I'm going on a date tonight."

"Wow, this son of mine is going on dates already... Tell me; who's the lucky person?" He asked playfully, smiling.

"Her name's Anastasia." I said feeling kind of shy.

"Oh, that's a very lovely name. Pretty?" He asked still smiling.

"Yeah, she is. Very"

"Just as I thought! Nephew has the same taste with his uncle." He said and winked. And that was no lie; His wife was one really beautiful woman.

"Have fun!" He said and patted me twice on the shoulder. And then, he left me in the parlor to continue watching Netflix.

I was flexing most of my time now because I was a new student. I wondered how I was going to do when the teachers finally start treating me like the other students; giving me so many assignments and projects... I was probably just going to break down.

When I told Lisa I was going to go out with Anastasia she just smiled faintly. Was anything the matter?

I called Anastasia and asked her for her address. I was really looking forward to that date and just couldn't wait.

Anastasia's P.O.V

Wow! The dress dad bought for me was just so fantastic! It was just perfect; Not too attention-dragging, not too dull. It was the most perfect red short-gown I could ask for and it had so many awesome designs on it. Dad's just the best!

I really hope Justin would like it.

Justin called me just to check up on me. I think he's as excited as I am about the date. And to tell you how excited I was, I danced in the room. I hardly ever danced.

I thought of calling Lisa and just talking to her. Sharing all my excitement with her but on second thoughts, I couldn't. We were meant to go shopping with all the others in our cheer leading squad but I cancelled on them because of this... I just prayed silently that she was not upset with me.

I just couldn't stop thinking about it, sitting beside a handsome boy, watching romantic movies and eating popcorn; my perfect fairy tale!

It was just 3:30 by then and it was going to be long before I would even leave the house. Dad had gone for a business meeting and mom had gone for a wedding. I was so free, I could do anything I wanted. But the only thing I actually wanted was some sleep because I wasn't sure when I was even going to be back home.

I lay down on my bed and set an alarm for 5:00pm. That alarm had better wake me up!

*******************

Justin's P.O.V

By 5:35, I was the only person at home, everyone else was out... Well, except for the maids. I left the house and locked the door and took the Benz out of the house.

I went to the address I was given. It was a really big house and awesomely designed. It was so lovely, I wished to go inside.

'Coyde's business must be booming, just like his head will, soon.' I thought and smirked.

I was in front of the gate when one man, probably their gatekeeper came to meet me. The way he dressed made me doubt he was even a gate keeper.

"Good evening sir." He spoke in a very polite and decent way. "Please who are you and who have you come to see?"

"I am Justin C..."

"Oh, Justin Cole? Just a sec." He said as he went to open the gate.

'How did he know me and why did he behave so weirdly?' I asked myself. Had Anastasia already told him about me?

I drove in and was directed to a parking lot by the gate keeper. I parked the car and walked out.

I walked to the front door and rang the doorbell.

I was so struck by the angelic figure I saw in front of me, I couldn't even say a word. Damn! She looked so hot in that red dress and the red even made me like her more cause she looked more attractive. Man, who can be more attractive than Anastasia Coyde,

Anastasia's P.O.V

I was waiting in my room when it was 5:58pm. Hope he wasn't going to stand me up. No way!

I was looking at the alarm clock when I heard the doorbell ring. He was probably the one, I hope... I ran downstairs quickly to see who was at the door.

When I opened the door, I stopped dead in my tracks. He was the most beautiful person I ever saw. Even though what he wore was plain; a checkered blue jacket and grey blazers, he still looked perfect.

His smile was just so adorable.

"For you," He said as he presented a bouquet of flowers to me. He was so cute! I hadn't even noticed the flowers that were behind his back before because I was only paying attention to his face.

"Awwwn, thank you!" I said as I smiled, I think I was blushing.

I collected the bouquet from him and smelt the flowers. The smelt so nice. So perfect. I knew the date was going to be perfect. Unlike all the ones I went on with Josh! He was such a jerk!

"You look beautiful," He said and I think I blushed even more, what was wrong with me?

"Thanks. You don't look bad yourself!" I said.

"Thank you." He said. "Shall we?" He said as he held my hand and we approached his luxurious black car. He opened the door for me and I got in and then he too got in.

We both put on our seat belts and then he sped off.

"Thanks," He said to Lawrence, our gate keeper after he opened the gate for us.

Justin's P.O.V

I took her to the arcade and we both played so many games, even virtual reality games. The movie was scheduled to begin by 8:00pm so we had a lot of time to ourselves.

We spent the remaining of our time in the arcade. And then we bought loads of ice-cream. Thank God I took my credit card else, I'd have been so broke!

**********************

Anastasia's P.O.V

We were already in 'Le Grand Cinema,' and everything was set. The movie was about to begin.

It was a very large hall with a lot of people in it. It was such an expensive cinema, I never even came here because of it's expensive nature. I wondered how Justin was able to pay for it.

The movie began and it was pretty interesting at the start and it was a romantic movie. Perfect for the date!

He put his hand on top of mine and squeezed it. I felt an electric wave pass through me. His hand felt felt warm and soft. I felt that was where it was supposed to be.

I leaned on his shoulder and he started caressing my hair. I felt the urge to kiss him but I controlled myself. I wasn't just going to throw myself at him like that!

Justin's P.O.V

When I first met Anastasia, I felt a great impulse of hatred for her but now my heart was now totally clean of all hatred for her. I didn't want to call it love but other than that, I didn't know what else to call it. I wanted to kiss her but I just didn't feel it was right.

All I wanted was her stupid dad to get out of the picture so we could be together. But I don't think he wanted that. All he wanted was to hunt me down, damn him!

I started to feel worried for her. That if her dad found out about us, he would use her to get to me. He was such an egoistic maniac, he could do anything to kill me. I just couldn't wait to pass a bullet through his skull.

But it was just so complicated. If I killed him, Anastasia would probably not think twice about breaking up with me. That's if we become a 'thing' though.

And on the other hand, if I didn't kill him, he'll kill me. Sometimes I wonder why dad chose to temper with such a blood-sucking devil like JC. But I couldn't blame him... he only did it to fend for us.

Those thoughts were crowding my mind excessively, I wasn't even concentrating on the film. Shit! I needed to clear my head.

*********************

The movie was over and I drove Anastasia back to her house.

"Goodnight," I said and pecked her on her cheek.

"Goodnight. See you on Monday." She replied. She was seriously blushing when she said it. She walked to the door of her house and she waved at me.

I waved back and smiled at her before I drove out of the house. It was already 10:20pm and they were probably very worried about me so I had to speed.
