Three days later I was standing in my bedroom making sure my hair was in place.
My phone started ringing and I picked it up. "I'm here," it was Gale.
"I think you're the only person who ever calls me."
"Let's hope your parents don't look at your phone records then." I could hear him smiling over the phone.
"I'll be down in a sec."
I stared at myself in the mirror for a few more seconds. I had on a simple champagne colored dress and matching heels. Gale was taking me to the nicest restaurant in town for our first date and I was nervous.
I walked downstairs and opened the front door to see Gale standing at the bottom of the steps.
"You look beautiful," he was smiling and holding tulips. He started to walk up the steps but quickly stopped when I pointed towards the camera.
We walked to his car and he opened the door for me before handing me the flowers.
"I thought roses might be too corny."
"I love tulips."
"I know." Gale gave me a knowing smile before he closed the door.
The drive to the restaurant was uneventful and Gale seemed cool and collected unlike myself.
When we sat down at our table the waiter immediately came over to us.
"Shall I start you out with the usual Merlot Mr. Kinney?"
Gale didn't take his eyes off the menu when he said, "No. We'll start off with Cabernet Sauvignon."
The waiter turned to me, "May I see your id ma'am?"
I was momentarily stunned. I grabbed at my clutch despite knowing I was underage.
Gale cleared his throat, "That won't be necessary Henry."
Without another word Henry left the table.
Gale put down his menu and looked over at me. "You really do look absolutely beautiful."
"It's nice to see your reaction to me with my clothes on for a change."
"Well I'm hoping that won't be an issue for too long."
We ordered and before I knew it the meal was over. I was happy to see that Gale was just as nervous as me. I figured this out when he accidentally flipped his fork off his plate and it ended up on the table next to ours.
When we got in the car he pushed himself closer to me, "Your place or mine?"
"Mine."
We made it back to my house and he leaned in towards me again. Before I knew it his hands were outlining the zipper on the back of my dress.
I felt his mouth press against mine in the dark. My hands quickly found his shoulders and I drew him in closer to me.
He pulled me over the center console and I was on top of him. I felt his cock pressing against my thigh as his lips moved down my neck to my collar bone.
"Are you going to invite me in?" Gale looked up at me with a half grin.
"No. I reached for the handle and climbed out of his car.
He was quickly on my heels. "Why not? Did you not have a good time? I thought we had fun."
"We did." I continued walking towards my house.
"Then why can't I come in?"
I stopped and turned around. I pressed my lips against Gale's ear and whispered, "Because I don't fuck on the first date." I turned around again but this time he grabbed my arm.
"Please tell me you're kidding."
"Or the second, or the third..." I let my voice trail off.
"Nicole."
"Good night Gale." I quickly pecked him on the cheek before scurrying up the steps and into my house.
