Believe

Once the clock hits seven, I already have my things packed and ready to go.

I walk out locking the snack bar door behind me.

The lifeguards put the pool covers on so the fall leafs don't get in the pool.

I walk out the gates of the community pool and look out from the steps looking for Mike.

I see him waiting outside his vintage white Cadillac eyeing me up and down biting his lip.

I walk down from the steps smiling.

Once I get to the car he hugs me.

And I hug back.

We hug for awhile then we pull away when we know it's best.

But I wouldn't have wanted to let go if we weren't in public.

He looks down at me with his charming eyes.

"How was you're day baby?" He asks charming me more every second.

Did he just call me baby?

"It was okay, but it's gotten a hell of a lot better right now."

He laughs a little and it makes me laugh.

He leans in closer to my ear whispering.

"Well things are gonna get even better baby girl."

Mike goes to the passenger side of the car opening the door for me.

Before I get in he stops me.

"I'll put your bag in the back babe."

Mike takes my bag still holding the door open for me.

"Thank you, Mike." I say as I get in.

"No problem Rosaline." Mike says closing the door putting my bag in the back.

I look inside the car as I wait for him to get in and it looks really nice.

Nice black leather seats, everything was updated,the best part was the car smelt like Mike's cologne.

He comes in the drivers side seconds after putting my bag in the back.

Before he starts the car he looks at me.

"Where would you like to have dinner?" Mike asks.

"Oh.. Um... How about that Pizza place close to my place?" I suggest.

"Sounds good to me baby." He says as he turns the car on starting to drive towards the restaurant.

He said it again, baby, why do I like it so much?

When we arrive to the restaurant we are told to wait to be seated by a waiter as she waits a family to a table.

We wait patiently when I feel a hand go around my waist.

I look at the hand.

I instantly knew who the hand belonged to when I seen tattoos.

His fingers said "evil" on them.

Me being a fan know the fingers on the other hand say "dead."

The waiter comes back grabbing a couple of menus and taking us to a small booth in the corner.

We look at the menu for a second when our server comes.

"Hi I'm Amanda and I'll be you're server today." The server says starring at Mike who is looking at the menu.

She puts down silverware and napkins on the table.

"Can I start you off with something to drink?" Amanda asks looking at Mike and not at me.

It was clear she was either a fan or she thought he was attractive.

"Uh yes water for me." Mike says not looking up at her.

"And you?" Amanda asks giving me a dirty look.

"Water."

She leaves and I look at Mike.

"I think she likes you." I say.

"I get that a lot." He says laughing.

"You're so cocky." I say laughing to.

"No no! Not like that, I mean usually when I go to places, especially restaurants, a lot of young girls tend to treat me different." He responds not laughing anymore.

"It must be hard." I say sarcastically.

"Nope, but you know what is hard?" He asks whispering almost.

"What?" I whisper back smiling.

The server comes back putting Mikes water down gently on the table and sliding mine across the table spilling it a little.

I ignore it though and wait for Mike to continue.

He leans in closer.

"It's hard to tell what you're like." He says before the waiter comes back.

"What can I get you guys to eat?"

Mike answers "A slice of pepperoni pizza please." Mike hands her the menu and she bites her lip.

He doesn't look at her.

"And you?" She asks turning around rolling her eyes.

"I'll have the same thing." I respond handing her the menu as she snatches it away.

She walks away with our order.

"So how is it hard to tell what I'm like?" I ask.

"You're very shy." Mike says laughing.

"Well it's kinda hard talking to someone you really find attractive..." I say blushing.

"I find it attractive how shy you are around me, especially all that blushing that goes along with it." Mike says winking.

"Well... Since I'm hard to tell what I'm like... Ask me questions."

"Who's you're favorite band?"

"hmm... Pierce the Veil."

He smiles to the answer.

"Who's you're favorite band member of Pierce the Veil?"

"You."

He smiles more.

"I like you. From the moment I laid eyes on you I have actually sorta fallen in love." Mike says looking into my eyes.

I feel my heartbeat faster and faster.
