2.4 Dating

There was a noise outside so Blake went to see what was going on. He was about to yell but instead when he saw it was a woman he calmed down and introduced himself and asked "Can I help you?"

"Um yes. I'm trying to find River lane, I'm new in town and in the dark I can't tell one place from the next." she replied. As he gave her directions she looked at him with her piercing green eyes and smiled as she thanked him.

"Do you want to go out when you are settled?" Blake asked nervously.

"Give me a call, here is my number." as she wrote on his hand and when she got in the taxi she rolled down the window and shouted at Blake, "My name's Sam." and he watched as she faded into the distance.

He got inside and was met by William who started to tease his brother, "Someone's got a girlfriend." as he started a pillow fight with Blake.

"Oh shut it, Will. I haven't got a girlfriend."

"You like her? Did you ask her out?" William kept teasing.

"How old are you Will, remind me! You are acting like a teenager, grow up!" Blake yelled.

"Did I hit a nerve?" still winding him up. Blake had had enough so stormed off to escape his brother's teasing.

After a few days Blake was still looking at his phone, he had tried several times to ring Sam but after punching in a few numbers he kept putting down the phone. He thought to himself you can do this just ring her, she has already given you the number so she wants to see you. He decided to just ring her after all the worst that could happen was she said no. When the phone answered he stumbled a few words out and eventually said "Hi Sam this is Blake...Do you want to go out tonight?"

"That would be great pick me up at 8 tonight. I have to go, got an interview, see you later." Sam replied.

Blake and Sam had arrived at the restaurant and as they walked to their table he noticed how sexy she looked in that dress and just how beautiful she really was.

"How did the interview go?"

"I don't think I got the job. Not that I mind though, I not very good at bar work." as she smiled at Blake. "What do you do?"

"I work at the science lab. I have to say it but you look beautiful tonight, Sam." hoping he wasn't being to forward as he was really nervous. Sam went bright red and replied, "Thanks." They then finished eating their food and stayed there till closing. They took a walk over to the park, "What's it like being vampire?" Sam suddenly asked.

"No-one has ever asked me that before, I don't know how to answer that as I've never know anything different as I was born like this. The only thing I know is I can't stay out in sunlight." as he answered her. He looked at her and then pulled her in tightly and kissed her and asked, "Can I see you again?"

"I would like that very much."

William had organised his first date with Heather but she had no idea where he was taking her. All she knew was they were to meet it this new place. When she got there William was waiting. "You ready?" Will asked her.

"Ready for what?" looking puzzled.

"You will see and don't forget you'll have to get changed." as he smiled and took her inside.

"Will no. I am not..." but before she could say anything more he grabbed her hand and said, "Come on it'll be fun and besides you suggested we got to know each other all over again." Heather looked at Will and went to get changed without saying anything.

They both stood at the bottom looking up at the climbing wall and back at each other, they stepped on the floor button then walked over to the wall. "Ready to race?" William asked.

"You never said this was going to be a race." Heather spat.

"Let's see if you can keep up!" Will teased.

"You are on!" as she grabbed a piece of the wall ready to start the race. Will took hold on his wall and they were off. Heather started off behind Will and he kept shouting, "Come on." 

Heather was determined to wipe that smile of his face and so using her strength pulled herself up and up, even started to enjoy herself and before she knew she was head to head with Will. 

"Hi Hun!" as she glanced over to him and he looked shocked that she could keep up. Then he stumbled slightly and Heather started to over take him and he tried to catch up but lost his footing and fell to the ground.

Heather continued up getting faster and faster till she reached the top, hitting the button claiming victory and jumped down. Heather approached William and said, "Maybe you'll win next time." as she laughed.

"Ok, I deserve that but you have to admit you had fun."

"I did Will, thanks."

They went outside and watched the stars in the night sky. Before they left the place Will held Heather's hand and asked, "Do we get a second date?" She looked at him and kissed him adding, "Does that answer your question?"


Note: I just had to show off the use of the climbing :)
