Chapter 5 - First Date With Roan Grace Part 1

I found a match on Mocospace again his name was Roan Grace. Roan Grace was handsome and in a wheelchair. He looked like a surfer dude from California. Even though he lived here in San Antonio, Texas.

Roan Grace was kind and patient he waited a month for me just texting and talking over the phone before we went on our first date.

I thought that was awesome especially because he was in a wheelchair.

He would ask me, "Hey, how are you doing?" I'd tell him, "I'm okay, how are you?" He'd say, "I'm okay. I guess." And I would say, "You guess or you know?"

He'd give a small chuckle and say, "I know. I'm okay."

"Are you sure Roan?" "Yes, I'm sure Courageous." And He'd chuckle and I would giggle. And I blew him a few kisses "Well I gotta go do my chores. I'll talk to you later. Bye." "Bye. Muah." I thought it was sweet that he blew me a kiss. It made me feel like I had butterflies in my stomach. And already while I did my chores I missed him. He made me feel alive. Alive like the boy from 5th grade made me feel. Roan wasn't Canaan Ozz. But he brought that feeling I haven't felt since Canaan Ozz. The feeling of being alive. The feeling of being safe, to be vulnerable. But I tried not to fall for it because of my last two relationships. Especially the first with Canaan Ozz. I still miss Canaan Ozz. He was such a charmer. And Roan was also a charmer just like Canaan Ozz. I forgot to mention Canaan Ozz was half man, half deity. A demigod to be specific. I didn't believe him at first until the deity that created him came and told me. His name was Dangioh. I loved him so he told me he lives within Canaan Ozz. I miss them. They have no idea how much I miss them. Just thinking about them makes me want to cry. But my pride is stronger than my sadness to crying tears. I'm a very prideful woman. At least that's what my mom Anita tells me. And my daddy Jeremiah agrees with her. And as smart as I am I haven't got a clue what it means to be prideful. And yes I've looked up the definition of the word prideful in my dictionary and I still don't understand what it means. And I looked into a thesaurus for other words for prideful. And the word stubborn came up. That was true I'm very stubborn. But I wanted to do more than talk to Roan Grace. So I got the courage to entice him to ask me out on a date.

"Hey, do you want to go on a date with me Courageous?" "Yes, I'd love to. What took you so long to ask?" "Well I wasn't sure you wanted to because of your last relationship and because I'm in a wheelchair." "So what if you're in a wheelchair Roan? I've been waiting for you to ask me."

"Do you want to go to the movies with me tomorrow?" "Yes, what time?" "7:00 pm." "Okay, hold on I need to ask my mom. Mom, can I go out to the movies tomorrow at 7:00 pm?" "Yes, miha, don't worry I'll tell your dad when he gets home." "Okay mom, hey Roan are you still there?" "Yes I'm still here, what did your mom say?" "She said yes, but are you going to pick me up or meet you there?" "Can you meet me there at the Mayan Theater?" "Yes, I can." "Okay, Courageous I will talk to you later, I mean tomorrow." "Okay, Roan. Bye, Muah." My mom Anita called me, "Courageous, come here." "Yes, mom?" "Is he picking you up or meeting you there?" "He's meeting me there." "Okay, I'll tell your dad to drop you off. What theater are you going to meet him at?" "I'm going to meet him at the Mayan Theater. " She giggled at how excited I was. "Courageous, calm down, and try to sleep. You've got chores to do before you go out on your date tomorrow." Wow, she killed the excitement I had just by saying that. I hate it when she rushes me into doing my chores. Tomorrow hasn't even come yet and she already rushing me into doing them. So I said, "Okay, mom, good night, I love." "I love you too miha." And I kiss her on the cheek. I go to the bathroom and brush my teeth, take a shower, and go to bed. I think I'll try to get a little sleep before my date. But I couldn't stop thinking about Roan. I wondered why he had asked me out and if he really meant it or if it was all just a big tease. When I woke up in the morning I still felt a little confused. I wonder if something bad might happen? Or maybe I was just overthinking things.
