Once I got home I told mom about my day. At first she was shocked that I helped him so easily but once I was done she told me I did well and she thought he sounded like a gentleman. Then she went in and called Miss Abby to see what she knew about him.
While she was talking to Miss Abby I went upstairs and conference called my friends. Once I got both Yvette and Marie on the line I told them everything about my day. When I got to the end and told them he asked me out to the movie they both got really excited and said they would come over tomorrow to help me get ready for my date. Now since my door was open during the call dad heard us talking about the date. He stopped by the door and says," My baby girl has a date. Do I know the young man? Where are you going? I want to talk to him before you go."
The girls start laughing and tell me they will talk to me tomorrow and hang up.
I tell dad to come sit down and I tell him everything that has happened since yesterday. By the time I get to the part about the date tomorrow mom comes up and tells us everything she learned from Miss Abby.
"Okay so he is nineteen years old. He comes from a very well to do family. He paid the asking price for that old Victorian house you took him to today and he even gave her a bonus if she can close fast. It seems that he is planning to move here permanently because his family is going to open a company in town. Lord knows we could use the jobs that would bring. Anyway Miss June from the hotel says he is well mannered and polite. The only one that doesn't like him is Mr. Wilson. And that's because he won't drive the car that he rented. But otherwise everyone else likes him."
"Okay sounds good to me. I still want to meet this young man before you leave."
"Okay daddy whatever you say. The movie is at six so he said he would be here at 5:30 p.m. tomorrow. Please just don't embarrass me okay."
They both agreed to be good then we went down and had dinner.
I ended up going to bed by eight but I was way to amped up to go to sleep before ten. I ended up going through my closet twice in order to find the perfect dress. Then I brushed my hair and teeth and finally managed to go to sleep.
I woke up at 8:30 a.m. Laid in bed for about twenty minutes then I heard mom get up so I decided to get up. I took my shower and got dressed then went down to help mom with breakfast. After we ate and I helped clean up I went back to my room and looked at my dress for tonight. I decided to go through my closet yet again to find a good outfit. Then I finally decided to call the girls and see if they wanted to go to the mall. They agreed and I went to pick to them up. We spent all day there to pick out the perfect outfit. After four hours we finally got it down to two dresses. A light blue one that Yvette says really brings out my eyes and a dark blue form fitting dress that the liked because it hugs my body in all the right places as Marie put it. I couldn't decide so I got both of them. Once I dropped off the girls I went home and asked mom what she thought.
"Well honey I really like the lite blue one. It really brings out your eyes. All I ask is you take it slow with this young man okay. I don't want to see you hurt."
"Don't worry I will be careful mom. I don't plan on doing anything stupid. But there is something about him, I don't know how to really explain it but I feel drawn to him. I know this is going to sound mushy and stupid but if I believed in soulmates I would think he is mine. The first time I saw him in the diner that is what I heard in my head. I feel safe when I am with him. Like I know he wouldn't hurt me. Am I crazy mom?"
"Emma your not crazy but you need to be careful. You know nothing about this man. Please take it slow. Get to know him before you do anything okay."
"Oh mom give me some credit will YOU. I'm not going to sleep with him, I'm only going to watch a movie."
"I know honey but your my only daughter so I have to worry about you. And your old enough to get serious with a man. I just don't want you to rush into anything okay."
"Okay mom I won't rush into anything. But I need to go get ready, he is going to be here in an hour."
"Go on I'll let you know when he is here."
Then I ran upstairs and took another shower. I just got out when the girls burst in my room. We got my hair done. And they picked out some jewelry for me. Then I heard mom yell from the bottom of the stairs," He is walking up the driveway. He is a smart boy, that means your driving to the theater though."
We walk down the stairs as my dad opens the door. Dad introduced everyone to Elyon, then Elyon introduced himself. Both mom and dad asked him all kinds of questions and then Yvette and Marie started in on him about his interest in me and I decided it was a good time to go. So I stood up and said," If we are going to make the 6:30 movie we need to go now. See you guys later."
Then I basically pushed Elyon out the door. Once I got us out of the yard I apologized for how my family and friends were acting. He was sweet and told me not to worry about it he wasn't upset or offended by them. I was glad, for the rest of the ride we were silent.
Once we got to the theater we decided to watch Dune. It is a long movie so we figured we would have time to get to know each other. We were in luck we were the only two people in the room.
At first we didn't say anything, but ten minutes into the movie I couldn't take it and started asking him questions. I asked about his family, I asked about his business, I asked about the house and when he was moving in. After he answered he asked me questions. The strangest question he asked me is what my dream bedroom would look like. After thinking about it for a while I told him I would love a large four poster bed with matching dressers and night stands. I didn't care about the kind of wood. I would paint the room in a soft blue or maybe green. I would need a t.v in the room for when I was sick because I couldn't miss my Hells Kitchen. And finally I would make the curtains for the windows match the walls. Nothing to girly but nothing to macho either. When I was finished I started laughing, he joined in for a minute then asked a different question.Everything was going fine until I told him I was adopted. This seemed to upset him, and when he excused himself I thought the date was over.
After fifteen minutes he came back and sat down. He took my hand and kissed me. At first I didn't know how to respond but then I decided to just let it happen. I got lost in the moment untill he bit my lip. Then I started waking up. I pulled away from him as he got up and started pacing.
"Are you okay? Did I do something wrong? Why did you bite me?"
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to bite you. I let the kiss go farther than I planned. But I will say I liked it. Also have you ever thought that you might be different from those around you?"
"All the time, Why do you ask? Why did you leave the room like that? Did I upset you?"
"No I was just shocked when you told me you were adopted. But I had to answer my phone as well. My dad was checking in to see if I was settling in okay. What do you know about your birth parents?"
"Nothing much, mom won't talk about it. She only told me after I turned fifteen that I was adopted. We learned about blood types in school and I wasn't a match to either one of them and I wanted to know why."
"I think you should ask her soon. When is your eighteenth birthday? I think you need to know before then."
"Why? I don't understand. Can we talk about something else please."
"Your right, I'm sorry. Should we go back to making out while we watch the movie?"
"As long as you don't bite me again I am okay with that."
We made out for the rest of the movie. He was a gentleman and always asked me if I was okay or if I wanted to stop. But to be honest if it wasn't for the promise I made to my mom I would have gone all the way. There was just something about him I wanted him inside me. But when the movie ended we stopped. I took him back to his hotel. I only stayed for a few minutes and he didn't want to tarnish my reputation so he kissed me good night and sent me out.
I was smiling as I got in my car and drove home.
