Erica's story by jennifer z (read a book TXT) 📕

She hadn't heard anything from him since monday. Nothing at all. I wonder what we will do on our date? how will he act ? will he be a gentlemen? or will he kiss me first date? Or is this just an outing to get to know his tenant? how do i dress? i wish i knew more about him. I shouldn't have agreed so easily . Maybe i'll cancel.


As she thought more on this , she started laughing i can't cancel . i haven't a phone yet . i''d have to talk to him.Maybe i'll do that. she was going to chicken out. That's it.


As she thought on these things, the door rang. He was early. She wasn't ready.


"I'll be right there ,"she yelled.


She came out and went to the door and peered through the eyehole.


He was standing their with a dozen red roses. She couldn't believe it. She almost fainted.


How romantic -she thought.


"why thanky ou ",she stammered."


"your welcome "he smiled.


Maybe i won't chicken out. "I'll be right out '", she yelled through the door.


"Can i come in? "he politely asked


"NO"she said. "I mean,yes come in."


"Are you ready? i thought we might go out for dinner and a movie,would that be okay?"Randy said.


"Sure i guess that alright. i have to find my shoes Be right back."ErIca stated.And she ran out of the room as fast as she could . She tripped over the doorway and fell on her face. she was so embarassed. What a way to start a date, she thought. He was laughing gently in the livingroom as she stampered to her bedroom.


"are you alright?he yelled.

She thought about it and started laughing, "i must have been nervous, i forgot to tell him my name, " she told Cindy at work later that afternoon.


What does he do when he rushes around? how does he believe? all these questions were rushing around in her head as she put her shoes on.


She walked back in the living room, grabbed her purse , and said i'm ready.


He smiled. "You never told me your name, what is it ,may I ask?


"My name is Erica." She smiled.


I have so many question,i don't know where to start, i'll wait for him to talk first.


They got in the car and he asked her where she wanted to go to eat and what she wanted to see at the movies. She wasn't sure , whatever he wanted.


Ï know of a nice inn in the middle of town we could go to. It isn't a bar , it's like a coffee shop , would that be okay? i guess she stammered.


Inside she thought where is this crazy guy taking me? i hope the movie is somewhere public. I'd hate to be alone with him so soon.


I really don't know him at all i'm a little nervous she thought and she started to get a little scared.


She clutched her purse in a deathgrip.


He drove quietly to the inn and they ate a gorgeous meal of veal and spaghetti with salad.


It was a large meal, plenty for both.
They enjoyed themselves over the meal immensely.


Then he asked about the movie again.


She thought inside, i still don't know him from adam. I need to talk a little before we go to the drive through or is he taking me to a movie theater? So she started talking.

"Do you mind if we get to know each other?"

Sure, he smilled again.


So they talked about trivial stuff , like the weather , her job, his job,how he believes and so forth.


It was rather windy outside ( It was fall ). She told him she was starting college and she had a haircutting job.He told her he was in construction and he believed in God . He didn't attend church but he would if he could find the time for it. They talked about many such things and they were comfortable around each other.


Then he brought her home and kissed her on the cheek and said good-bye and left.


She was amazed. He seemed nice enough . He didn't want anything from her. She didn't know what to think.


So she brushed her hair and teeth and went to bed and she was happy instead of downcast that day.


And she wondered will he ask me out again? I wonder.
