Chapter 56: A double date

I stood in front of my mirror looking at myself. Jones would be here in about an hour to take me out and I feel he might want to have sex with me.
I trust and love Jones so much, but I don't trust him more than I fear being pregnant ever since the last time.

I walked into my room and brought out a silver dress, I threw it on my bed and sighed, and then I picked up my phone and called Ella. I told her Jones wanted to hang out but I was scared he would ask for sex. Then Ella asked me to make up an excuse to keep us from having sex. I couldn't think of any excuse so she asked me to lie to him that I was on my period. It sounded like a wonderful idea but the only problem is I'm a bad liar.

Well, I bought the idea of lying to him. I wore the dress and when I was done, Jones called me but I didn't pick up the call, instead, I went and looked outside my window to see if he was there. His car was parked there so I picked up my purse and headed downstairs.

"I'm heading out Mom," I said and went out. When I went out Jones was standing outside his car. I walked to him with a smile on my face,

"Nice suit," I said,

"Nice dress," he said and smiled at me. "Anyways we have guests," Jones said, then I looked at the back seat and saw Jimmy in the back seat with a girl. When he saw me, he waved at me. I waved back at him but I was feeling a little bad because Ella likes Jimmy but now he's with another girl.

"So we are going on a double date," Jones said, "Get in," he said then we both got into the car. Jones drove us to a fancy restaurant full of old rich people. We got out of the car and headed into the restaurant, when we got in, we sat down and the waiter gave us a tablet which had the list of food on the menu. We all ordered and waited for our food, but before that, we were given a glass of water.

While we were waiting for our food, I was looking at Jimmy and the girl he came with. Funny enough I thought Jimmy said he likes Ella when we were at the camp but why didn't he tell her?
"Jimmy, can I see you outside?" I asked then Jones and the girl looked at me.

"Okay," Jimmy said then we both went out of the restaurant.

"Jimmy, who is she?" I asked,

Jimmy became a little confused,
"Uh ... I don't understand, who is who?"

"The girl you brought. Months ago you told me you liked Ella and now you're with another girl,"

"Oh about that, I don't like Ella anymore," he said,

"What, why?"

"Because I've liked Ella since 11th grade but she didn't like me and...,"

"And how did you know she doesn't like you, did you tell her?" I asked,

"I wanted to...,"

"Did you tell her?" I interrupted,

"No, I was sure she didn't like me,"

"The girl you came with, did you like her?"

"I don't know ... Yes," he said,

"And did you tell her?"

"Yes... You know what, why are we even having this conversation?"

"Because Ella made me swear never to tell you she likes you," I said.

"Ella likes me?" Jimmy asked surprisingly,

"Yes she does, and for the record, I never told you," I said,

"How do I know you aren't lying?" Jimmy asked,

"Because she told me she likes you, she never wanted you to know because she felt you might use her feelings against her,"

"I would never do that. Maybe tomorrow at school I would talk to her," he said and headed in but I stopped him, "Anything else?" He asked, "Please don't make it obvious you're aware she likes you," I said. "Trust me I won't," he said and smiled, and then we walked back Into the restaurant.

When we got there our food was already on the table but Jones and the girl Jimmy Came with haven't touched it yet.

"We've been waiting for you guys," The girl said,

"Oh sorry Sam," Jimmy said and we both sat down. We opened our food and when we saw the quantity of food, we were stunned, it was so small.
Sam chuckled and covered her mouth, and then we all began to laugh.
"Even my little brother won't take up to a minute to eat that," she said.

"No, well yes but that's not the point. This is a fancy restaurant, if you look around you, you will see almost everyone eating the same thing but so slowly," Jones said.

"So the point is to eat slowly?" I asked,

"Yes, this is a fancy restaurant, you don't rush food here, the best way to enjoy our food and make it last is by talking while eating," said Jones.

"And how do you know that dude?" Jimmy asked,

"Because we were served about 10 minutes ago and none of us has touched our food," Jones said.

We all thought about it and we figured out that it was true.

After 30 minutes, we were still eating our tiny dinner, Jones was right, the best way to enjoy your food in a fancy restaurant is by talking to your date. When we were done having dinner, the waiter brought the bill and it was so expensive, the price was like a billion dollars just for four plates of tiny dinner. After dinner, we headed back to the car and got in. Jones drove Jimmy home, so he and Sam left the car. After Jimmy and Sam left, Jones looked at me,
"Privacy at last," he said then we both smiled. Jones drove me home and kissed my cheek, "Good night baby, I'll see you tomorrow," he said. I got down from the car and he drove off. After he left, I was so happy that he didn't ask for sex at last, perhaps I misjudged him.
