Chương 2: Chapter Two: Date Night
EVER'S POV
The steam from my scalding hot shower escaped into my bedroom as I opened the door, the cool air sending goosebumps along my warm pale skin. A soft and grateful smile tugged at my lips as I blinked rapidly trying to hold back the tears that had accumulated in my eyes at the sight before me.
Bri was sitting in the middle of my bed with a variety of food surrounding her along with our favorite drinks in both of her hands that were outstretched by her sides and a bright eye-crinkling smile adorning her features. Her bright blue eyes became nearly non-existent.
"ta-da! I made sure to get all of your favorites! Well okay, maybe not all of your favorites but most. I would have gotten more but I don't have a ton of -" I cut her off before she could ramble any further.
"It's perfect… " I giggled, tucking a strand of my long black hair behind my ear, wiping a lingering tear from my eyes at the same time.
Two personal pizzas sat open in front of her, my favorite jalapeño cheddar chips and a giant bowl of popcorn- no doubt covered in butter and sugar sat to the left of the pizza boxes, and a small plastic container of my favorite store-bought chocolate chip cookies sat on the right.
The combined smells from the various foods scattered around my bed made my stomach growl with the need for food since I hadn't eaten breakfast today, but it also made me feel slightly nauseous and dizzy.
It is either the side effects of not eating anything this morning or morning sickness from being pregnant. Probably both…
"Well, what are you waiting for? Let's dig in! " Bri laughed, greedily taking a handful of popcorn into her mouth and nearly choked when one of the kernels went straight to the back of her throat.
"Geeze Bri! Be careful! I'd hate for the godmother of my child to die before they are even born… " I hinted, waiting for my words to fully register in her brain to get her reaction to the decision I had made while I was in the shower.
As soon as I sat next to her on the bed- being mindful of the food surrounding it- I was pulled into her right and loving embrace. Happy tears streamed down her face as she pulled away, keeping her hands on my shoulder as her crystal blue eyes looked deep into my icy silvery gray ones. Probably trying to see if I'm being serious.
When she couldn't find a shred of doubt in my stare, her smile widened even more -if that were even possible- as she continuously thanked me over and over again until I got annoyed and shoved a cookie into her mouth to shut her up.
" You don't need to thank me, Brianna. You're like a sister to me and I know that you are going to be an amazing aunt and godmother to mine and Enzo's child. "
She only nodded, munching happily on the chocolaty goodness mirroring the sincere smile that rested on my face, before a small frown replaced it, seemingly in thought.
"How and when are you planning on telling Enzo? " Bri questioned, her right eyebrow lifting in curiosity.
Sighing I looked down at my lap playing with my fingers, trying to distract myself from the growing panic settling in my chest.
"I don't know how… But I am going to tell him tonight while we are on our date. I just hope that he doesn't reject us… " my hands subconsciously started to rub my lower stomach.
I don't have a noticeable baby bump quite yet, but rubbing small circles over that area brings me comfort and I have no doubt that it will become a habit pretty soon. I'm okay with that though.
The sooner the better was Bri's only response, but her grip on my hand showed that she was here for me no matter what the outcome of this date might be. And that's all I needed.
...…
A few hours later after watching almost the entirety of season one of Teen Wolf- my favorite show- I decided that it was probably time to get ready for this date with Bri's help. It's mine and Enzo's 5-year anniversary and we are gonna be going to a fair in the next town over. The original plan was to go out to a fancy restaurant and do all that fancy stuff, but that type of environment makes me feel anxious and not at all like myself. So instead we opted for the fair, sure it was an hour-and-a-half long drive- but it would definitely be worth it.
The fair we are going to, I haven't been there since I was a small child. It was a time before my parents became too busy with their work lives. My mother being a lawyer and my father a college professor.
"how about this one?" I suggested posing in the last of many outfits I had planned out for tonight.
"Mmmm… Pass! " Bri dismissed the outfit with a wave of the hand accompanied by an obnoxiously loud fake yawn.
Her passive-aggressive way of telling me my outfit was boring.
Huffing in annoyance I sat at the edge of the bed next to her resting my head on her shoulders puffing my cheeks in annoyance.
"I don't have anything to wear now… "
Bri laughed out loud throwing her head back, her frizzy sunset red locks falling out of her loose ponytail. Her bright ocean-blue eyes once again disappeared for a moment before she looked down at me with an amused smirk poking my nose and abruptly standing up making me almost fall over.
"oh come on, don't be so dramatic! After all, that's what you have me for—" she teased sauntering over to my closet, hoping over the small pile of clothes that still lay on my floor from previous outfits.
"Now let's see what we're working with!"
After a few minutes, Bri pulled out an adorable outfit that I thought was perfectly cute, comfy, and date-worthy. the outfit insisted of a light dusty pink tank top and a light grey sweater that goes over it, my favorite pair of ripped jeans and my white Adidas shoes. A small labradorite necklace laid across my chest and thin silver rings decorated my slim fingers.
"It's perfect! What would I do without you?!"
"you'd probably be dead– or you'd end up wearing one of those hideous outfits you had picked out. Who knows…" she deadpanned sitting back down in the middle of my bed with an annoying smirk on her face and I couldn't help but chuckle at how true that statement really is.
After discarding the clothes I'm currently wearing onto the floor, I quickly got dressed, having only about half an hour left until Enzo picks me up for our date, and I still have to do my hair.
Let me tell you, trying to put on a pair of ripped skinny jeans while in a rush– it's not fun. My foot got caught in like, three different holes and I'm pretty sure I accidentally made one of the holes bigger than they originally were when I bought these pants. It didn't help that every time my foot got caught Bri would giggle and ask me if I needed her help which would end in me flipping her off every time making her laugh even more.
"And done! Whaddya think?" Bri asked, placing the still-hot curling wand on my vanity, and stepping away to admire her handiwork. "Am I amazing or am I amazing?!"
"Yeah, yeah, you're the greatest! in fact, you should have your own show!" I joked, rolling my eyes at her shenanigans. But my response only seemed to fuel her craziness.
"You're right! I could call it… umm… Oh! Bri's Beauty Boutique!"
After a few more minutes of goofing around my phone rang displaying Enzo's caller ID: Babes💓. Without waiting for another second I answered the call, the sound of his smooth and silky voice coming from the other end sent butterflies to erupt in my stomach.
On The Phone
Hello beautiful~
Hello~
I just wanted to make sure we're still on for tonight…
Yes, we are… Why? Is everything okay?
Oh yeah! No, everything is fine. It's just that I haven't heard from you all day so I was worried…
Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry I guess I was so excited about our fate that I forgot to message you!
The lie slipped off of my tongue easily, and I was just hoping he didn't notice how my voice became a tad shaky.
Haha, it's alright I figured as much! Well, are you ready? Because I'm pulling up to your house right now…
Yup! I'm all set! I'll see you in a sec!
Alright, baby love you!
Love you too!
End Of Phone Call
"He's here! Oh God, what… What if tonight goes horribly wrong?! What if... What if he tells me that he wants nothing to do with me or... Or this child?! What if–"
Suddenly my head jerked to the side and a stinging sensation was felt on my right cheek as my eyes widened slightly in shock.
"Bitch will you calm the fuck down!" Bri's stern voice snapped me out of the mini-panic attack I was having.
"Did you just slap me?"
"Yes, but that's not what's important right now!" she blurted out as she shoved me towards the front door.
"What's important right now is your date with Enzo! You can figure out how to tell him about the baby on the way there or on the way back just remember as I said earlier the sooner the better!"
When I opened the door, crip August air filled my lungs, calming my racing heart just a little.
"Thank you for everything Bri,"
"Anytime sis, just be careful alright… If anything happens, call me! I don't care if it's one o'clock in the morning– you call alright?!"
"Yes, mom!" I chuckled, pulling her in for a tight hug.
"Good now get going before your boy toy gets jealous," she grinned nodding her head in the direction of Enzo's car, my eyes immediately following the action.
Hot dayum! I'd thought I had only a few butterflies in my chest earlier, but now that I'm looking at him I can feel a whole flurry of them dancing in my chest. I think I even stopped breathing for a second.
Making my way towards him I couldn't help but blatantly check him out while ignoring my best friend yelling something about having fun and telling Enzo something about the time– I don't know I was too focused on how good my boyfriend looked right now.
His short wavy blonde hair isn't in its usual style of bed head, he must have gotten it cut because it's shorter now. His white form-fitted t-shirt paired well with his naturally tan skin tone and a dark pair of jeans hugged his waist in all the right places and had me just about drooling.
His laughter brought my attention back up to his face and that's when I noticed he was watching me check him out this whole time, his forest-green eyes shining brightly in the evening light. It's okay though I'm not ashamed.
"You like what you see?" his sultry voice caused goosebumps to appear on my skin as my eyes flickered toward his lips, watching as his tongue swiped at his bottom lip. God, I want to kiss him!
Giving into my impulses I grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him into a deep kiss, my tongue swiping at his bottom lip causing a deep growl to emanate from Enzo's chest as his hands grip firmly on my waist while I tug at his hair. Dragging his bottom lip between my teeth before I backed away completely feeling satisfied with myself, leaving him all hot and bothered.
"Definitely" I responded, realizing I never actually answered his question, snapping him back into reality and making me laugh.
"Yeah, I got that from the way you jumped me!" he teased, quickly recovering from the shock of being left high and dry as he opened the passenger door of his candy-apple-red Dodge Challenger, successfully making my face flush in slight embarrassment.
"Come on gorgeous! It's time for that date and we've got quite the drive ahead of us!"
He seemed to be more excited about this date than I was with the way he practically skipped over to the driver's seat after helping me into his car and wasted no time speeding off into the sunset.
Here we go...
