I’d say it’s too soon to call me your girlfriend.”
“Yeah, you’re right.” He releases my hand. “So should I go first this time?”
We finish up another game, with me getting 178 and Garret getting 86. I don’t think he even cares about the score. He just wants those shoes off. We return the shoes and head out to the car, which luckily is still there.
“So now what?” I ask once we’re in the car.
“Dinner. What do you feel like eating?” He starts the engine and turns the heat on.
“You didn’t already plan something? I gotta tell you, Garret, I thought you were the type of guy who would make all these big plans for a date, especially a first date. But you didn’t plan anything.”
“I usually do plan it out. But I tend to go a little over-the-top and I know you don’t like that type of thing, so I thought we’d just wing it.”
“What do you mean by over-the-top? What would you have planned for tonight?”
“I wanted to take you into the city. You’ve never been there, right?”
“What city? New York City?”
He laughs. “Yes. I was going to take you to this restaurant there that’s at the top of a hotel. It has a great view of the city. It’s close to my dad’s apartment, so I’ve been there a few times. They have really good food.”
“You guys have an apartment in New York?”
“Yeah. My dad has a lot of meetings there so sometimes he needs a place to stay overnight. We also have an apartment in London and one in LA.”
In addition to that, Garret’s family has five other houses, although he assures me they’re much smaller than his house here in Connecticut. That house is so big that the first time I saw it I thought it was some type of fancy hotel.
“So you were going to drive all the way to New York City for our first date?”
“I usually don’t drive there. Parking is impossible. I take my dad’s car service. But we could’ve taken the train, too.”
“That sounds fun. Why didn’t we go?”
“I didn’t think you’d want to. First of all, you don’t like noisy places and that city is nothing but noise. And second, I knew you’d say I was spending too much money.”
“I guess. But I really want to see New York City. I’ve always wanted to go there.”
“Really? Dammit. I should’ve just taken you there.” He checks his watch. “It’s kind of late to head there now. We’ll do it next week. Next Saturday. We’ll leave early so we’ll have time to see stuff.”
“Are you just assuming I’ll go on another date with you? We haven’t even finished this one yet. Maybe I’ll say no.”
“You’d seriously say no after I wore those stupid shoes for you and let you kick my ass in there?”
I punch his arm. “You didn’t let me kick your ass. I just kicked your ass, period.”
We hear laughing and glance up to see the two high school girls from the bowling alley heading toward Garret’s side of the car.
“Kiss me,” he says, keeping his eyes on them.
“What? Like right now?”
The girls are almost at the car. Garret turns to me, then places his hand behind my head and pulls me in for a kiss. I don’t protest because I’ve been dying to kiss him all night. He keeps it innocent, no tongue action, but I’m sure the girls who are watching us think we’re doing more. I hear them walk past us, mumbling something about how all the good guys are taken.
Garret slowly backs away. “Sorry about that. Again, it was an emergency.” He doesn’t sound all that apologetic. “Those girls are aggressive.”
“I’m glad I could help you out.” I lean back and put my seat belt on.
He pulls out of the parking lot and takes off down the road.
“Wait. We didn’t decide where to eat,” I say.
“I know where to go.”
“But you said you wanted me to pick it out.”
“Yeah, well, I asked you out, so I should pick what we do. You were right. I should’ve planned something. If you don’t like what I pick, then you’ll have
