Beautiful And Blind

I couldn’t help but be nervous about going to eat with this girl. It’s not like I hadn’t been out with a girl before. The guys had come back with food and were looking at me funny as I dug through my suitcase to find something to wear. I ignored them the best I could; sadly that only sufficed for a minimal amount of time. They then started badgering me with questions.

“What are you getting all spiffed up for?” Vic asked as he shoved a large bite of what appeared to be pasta into his mouth.

I grunted in response and continued to search for the button up I knew I had packed.

“He’s probably got a hot date.” Mike joked. I turned toward him and shot him a glare that wiped the smirk off his face.

“Do you have a date?” Jaime asked seriously.

“I wouldn’t call it that.” I say quietly. In all seriousness I wouldn’t call this a date. We were just going out to eat. All three of them stopped what they were doing and turned toward me with curious faces and slack jaws. I wasn’t one to go out very often let alone in a city that was so far away from home.

“What would you call it then?” Mike asked.

“We are just going to get some food.” I reply as I slide the shirt on and start to do up the buttons.

“Who’s the girl?” Vic questioned looking at me skeptically. He was like an older brother to all of us, well besides the fact that he actually was Mike’s older brother, so he played the over protective part very well.

“Her name is Jordyn.” I say simply.

“That’s it? That’s all we get? Just her name.” Jaime asks incredulously. “How did you meet her?”

“She was the housekeeper. She kind of walked in on me after I got out of the shower.” I tell them. They bust into a fit of laughter. I scoff and turn to look in the mirror.

“So why did you decide to take her out on a date. She could be a crazy super fan that wants to kidnap you.” Vic said reverting back to his over protective brother mode.

“Dude had you seen the look of pure embarrassment on her face you would know that she’s not like that. She dropped everything she was carrying and ran out of the room. You know as well as I do that any fangirl would have stayed in the room and freaked out.” I explain to them. “When I went to apologize there was just something about her that made me want to talk to her more. I wasn’t planning on asking her out. The words were out of my mouth before I even knew I had said them.”

“I am just trying to look out for you. After everything that happened with Erin, I just don’t want you getting hurt again.” Vic says.

“I know Vic. It’s just dinner. It’s not like we are running off to get married.” I joke. They all look at me. “Fuck you guys. That was only after me and Erin were together for like a year. Not to mention we didn’t go through with it.”

They all mumble to themselves and go back to eating. I sigh in relief that the topic of my love life was off the table for now. I had a terrible track record with relationships. I fell so hard for all the girls that I put myself out there for just to get burned. I have become so jaded when it comes to dating that I hadn’t even thought of going out with a girl in almost two years. Needless to say that is why the guys were acting like this. If it weren’t for them and our band I probably wouldn’t have made it through Erin and I’s break up.

I myself was completely shocked that I had asked Jordyn out, I mean she was very pretty yes, but looking was as far as I got anymore. I refused to put myself back out there. So as I said goodbye to the guys and promised to text them if I needed anything my stomach clenched with nerves. It was a feeling I hadn’t had in a while and honestly had missed. It was the feeling of new possibilities, the feeling of new adventures, and the feeling of new relationships.

I smiled to myself and got into the elevator pressing the button for the lobby where we had agreed to meet. The doors slid closed and I looked at myself one last time in the shiny doors. Black skinnies and a simple dark grey button down, I looked away before I started to pick everything apart. The bell chimed and the doors slid back open. Standing at the front desk wearing a knee length emerald green dress with a brown leather jacket was Jordyn. She was talking to the girl as the desk. They both looked toward me and then back at each other. A knowing look shot between them and I knew that the girl was telling her she approved.
