The First Date

It felt like the day was dragging on. I wanted to talk to Kim so badly. My nerves were getting to me, but there was no way I was going to leave the school without talking to her. I had a plan in my head for what I was going to say, but plans don't always as you plan them.

Finally the bell rang. I made sure I moved before Kim could. I smiled as she realized I was blocking her way. My stomach was in knots. I was trying to ignore the thoughts of her possibly saying no. Staying calm was no easy trick, but I knew I could do it. Because I wouldn't risk hurting her, even if she rejected me today. My prepared words didn't come out the way I planned. I felt like I had blurted out the question. I managed to ask her out to dinner though. Hopefully I thought to myself I don't sound like a fool. But she said yes! My heart soared, and I knew I had a big goofy grin on my face. How could I not. The girl I imprinted on wanted to go to dinner with me. Kim wrote down her address for me and we decided on a time. I so wanted to walk her home. But I didn't know if that would be pushing my limits for the day.

Finding something tidy to wear that fit was going to be interesting. But I knew my mom had gotten me a few things since I'd gotten bigger and nothing in the closet seemed to fit anymore. I had a nice pair of black jeans and a clean short sleeved shirt. Not too fancy, but hopefully good enough for Kim.

I was a little nervous when I picked her up. She was the most amazing site. I couldn't take my eyes off her as she came out of the house. She was perfect. I opened the car door for her, before moving around to my side and getting in. It took everything I had to not reach out and try to hold her hand on that drive. A drive that seemed to last forever and be all to short at the same time. I talked constantly asking Kim all kinds of questions, as I had realized I really didn't know her. I'd made sure to leave Sam all the details for where we were going and what route I would drive just in case I had any problems.

When I parked the car, I quickly moved to Kim's door to open it for her again. Trying to be the perfect gentleman for her. This time I couldn't resist. I took her hand. It felt like the right thing to do, and to my surprise and joy she didn't pull away. We walked hand in hand to the diner.

Dinner went well. I tried to limit how much I ordered. I knew I'd still be hungry after but at least this would take the edge off. I'd eaten before I left the house too. I didn't want to have to explain everything to Kim tonight. I wanted one night of things being somewhat normal for us. We talked more after ordering food, and only paused as the waitress brought us food.

With dinner done, I didn't want to head home and have to leave Kim. It felt right to be so close to her. Even if she didn't know everything yet. Everything was going well, and I just wanted the night to last. When I suggested a short walk after dinner and Kim didn't object, well let's just say thrilled would have been an understatement of how I was feeling. The drive home didn't last nearly long enough, even though I kept to the speed limit the entire time.

Leaving Kim's house was one of the hardest things I'd had to do. The ache that returns every time you leave your imprint is horrid. And after spending the entire evening with Kim, I didn't want that pain to return again. Sam said it would get easier over time. The night had been so perfect. And even more so Kim wanted to see me again. I felt like the luckiest guy in the world that night.
