As I was making my way back to the office with Edward's order and some of mine, I can't help but think of my run in with Jacob. The name Stephano sort of suits him in more ways than one.
He is tall, handsome features, sickly black hair that's just begging my fingers to run through them and that stupid beautiful smirk of his begging to be slapped across from his face by my hands.
If only, I thought of that sooner but the fact still stands that we're going out to dinner this Saturday which is in 2 days-time and I have no idea what to do what to wear. I haven't gone out on a date, my high school days were filled of crazy parties, book clubs, sneaking out for street race, and star gazing by the cemetery, Boys were literally the last things in my head and I was fine that way.
Crazy parties were like a safe haven for me to just let loose and enjoy high-school. Other girls would go off with their boyfriends and make out around some corner of the house but me.... shots all around and having James sneak me back into the house after my curfew which is usually around 11pm. And if I am going for street racing, it is to celebrate something good happening in my life like the time Mom and Dad told us that we're expecting younger siblings not to mention twins. I was so ecstatic that I went racing until midnight and came back with a small injury on the forehead. I had to sell my racing car when Mom and Dad passed for us to get by. So yeah, my high school days was full of that and not dating boys. To say that I am nervous about this date is an understatement because this is my first date.
I haven't even had my first kiss yet let alone losing my V-card. Not to think that far ahead but how does a girl do this kind of thing. I might as well just show up in my Pj's, I mean he clearly didn't ask me to wear something nice and all that, so I think that he is even lucky that I am going on a date with him in the first place.
Plus, I don't even have any friends to hang out with and tell me what to do, how to do it and what to wear.
Hazel, would know what to do. I should ask her.
I was now parked in the parking lot at the building and I'm trying to handle all this delicious desert in both of my hands.
As soon as I have all of them in my hands I quickly went over to the elevator, got in and quickly pressed the button to take me up to my office floor.
As I waited in the elevator, I can't help but think back to this morning. It is a very odd morning indeed but I kept thinking of why in the heck would Jacob Stephano ask me out on a date. It's not like I wanted to go out with him because all I was doing was trying to avoid him politely but then he just had to wander into the Café Shop.
Well, I can't do anything of the sort now, because I have already agreed to the so-called date. Its on Saturday evening and as I have mentioned before, I have no idea what to do.
'DING'
I got cut off from my thoughts hearing the elevator have taken me to my floor.
I got out and quickly made my way to Edwards's office to give him his food only to go back out the office with utter horror.
"Ever heard of knocking cousin?" Elizabeth yelled over.
"Ever heard of the office and professional behavior?" I taunt back.
"Anyways, I have your food and you guys can pick it up from the front of your office door, Edward. I am totally not going to be coming to your office any time soon." I shuddered in horror.
I went over to my office to continue my work for the remaining of the day.
After an hour or two, I finally remembered to call Hazel to help me out with the date.
After a few rings, she answered with a 'Bula'.
"Bula Hazel. How's it?" I asked.
"Everything is fine. How are you? How are things?" she answered and asked.
"Well, everything is fine and—"
"Don't even try denying it or hiding it, Alethea. I know the reason why you called" she accused me jokingly
"I—you do?" I asked shockingly.
"So, tell me." She asked
"Why does his ex-want him back when he is with me?"
"You have to help me about my date with your cousin"
"WHAT?!" we both asked each other.
"When did Jacob ask you on a date?" she asked me as she laughs.
"When did Ben's ex wanted him back?" I asked incredulously.
"Argh, don't even get me started. I was cleaning up our house mind you when this bitch just appeared out of nowhere demanding to see him. Honestly I'm still wondering why she's still breathing considering I was completely matured about the whole which is very unlikely of me but still." She rambled.
"Well just trust Ben to do the right thing. He loves you, you know" I say as I try to make her feel better about her situation.
"Yeah, yeah and until then, he's sleeping on the couch until I feel ready to see him again without thinking of ripping his ex-off to shreds but nice try so…. tell me how did Jacob ask you out and what did you say? Well obviously, you said yes since you're now asking me for help but then where did you guys even meet. What happened?" she squealed over the phone and I had to put the phone away from my ear if I still want to have them.
With that I told her everything that happened earlier today.
After we talked, I leave for home mainly because I really don't want to be in the next room from Edward and Elizabeth doing, whatever it is they'e doing.
I hope everything is going to be just ok.
