Almost Easy.

Cora woke up the next morning, smiling as she climbed out of bed and headed for the shower. After she got out, she got dressed in a pair of simple light blue jean shorts and a black tank top. Sliding on her shoes, she grabbed her purse and phone before heading down the stairs, being sure to avoid her father and cousin.

---

Matt had been awake since the early morning, he decided to go into work and finish up a couple cars. Once he was done with them, he pulled his car into the garage and tuned a couple things. He was doing anything he could to keep himself busy until his date with Anna.

@ american nightmare;

Sitting a couple house's down. Brian patiently waited for Cora. He felt like he was back in high school. Sneaking around, and the feeling she gave him. A smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he glanced behind him checking to see if he saw her.

---

Anna stood in the studio she taught at and smiled. Watching the kids try their hardest. She walked over helping one get the right balance. Smiling she took and grabbed her phone watching her class as she texted Matt. Hey, hope you're having a good morning!

Cora walked out the front door and down the steps. Once she left the driveway, she walked until she saw Brian sitting in his car. Cora went to the passenger side and opened the door, “Hi.” She got in, looking over at him, “So, what are we up to today?” She asked, smiling.

---

Matt was taking a break when he got the text from Anna, a smile crossed his lips instantly. I am and it just got a lot better. Hope you’re having a good morning too. Matt replied.

@ american nightmare;

Brian looked at her smiling, "I am not sure, what we can do." Brian chuckled. "Any ideas?" He smiled pulling out.

---

Anna smiled, replying back. Hearing back from you, made it ten times better. Can't wait for tonight. Anna took and looked at her class smiling seeing them finish up she took and watched them to go their parents as she took a break.

“Well, we’ve got all day,” Cora laughed, looking over at him. She thought for a minute, “We could grab lunch and maybe go to a movie or something?” Cora didn’t really care what they did as long as they got to spend time together.

---

Matt grinned as he read the message. I can’t wait either. He sighed as another car pulled up to the garage. Seeing the rest of the guys were busy, Matt slid his phone back into his pocket before walking out into the shop.

@ american nightmare;

Grinning slightly, Brian nodded. "I have the perfect thing in mind." Brian told her as he took and drove through the city. Stopping and grabbing them some food, he took her to a favorite spot of his near Big Bear. He pulled in seeing no one around. Smiling he looked at her, "No one knows of this place, but me and the guys." Brian told her.

---

Anna laid her phone down smiling. Seeing her class come in, she took and began working with the teenage kids that came every day for her dance lessons. She couldn't wait for tonight.

Cora watched out the window as Brian drove. Once they stopped, she turned to look at Brian, “Wow.” She smiled slightly, “So, this is like your little hideout?” Cora liked that Brian brought her someplace that was special to him.

---

Matt had the car up on the lift, what he had expected to be an easy fix was already taking him longer than he had planned. Now he was looking at it being at least an hour before he fixed the car.

@ american nightmare;

Nodding his head he smiled, "Yeah." Brian smiled. "My own little get away from everything." Brian smiled at her as he grabbed the blanket and stuff from the truck. Smiling he placed everything out and looked at her.

---

Smiling once the last class ended. Anna headed home from her job. Deciding on getting ready early, she did her shower and got ready. Once she had finished, she took and sat at her desk filling out some apartment apps, so she could get out on her own. She was hoping her dad and brother stayed gone till she was gone. Getting up she walked over to the mirror and checked her outfit to make sure she looked perfect.

Cora climbed out of the truck and followed Brian, “I’m flattered that you would bring me here.” Once he placed the blanket down, Cora grabbed the food and sat down.

---

Matt had never been so thankful to see the clock hit five. He was the last one at the garage, which was normal. He closed the doors and turned the lights off as he left. Once he got home, he took a shower and got dressed. Matt checked the time before he walked out of his apartment and drove, stopping a few houses down from Anna’s. He sent her a quick text. Ready when you are.

@ american nightmare;

Joining her, Brian smiled adoring her a moment. "So tell me a little more about you? Hobbies, so forth?" Brian looked at her as he took a bite of his food and looked at her.

---

Smiling, Anna quickly walked out of the house. Rushing down the street to Matt's car, she smiled slipping inside. Looking over at him she smiled, "Hey. You look really good." Anna smiled nervously.

Cora took a bite of her food as she thought about her answer. “Well, I like cooking and bowling, when I have time.” She smiled, taking a sip of her drink, “I like pretty much anything outdoors.”

---

Matt grinned when he saw Anna coming down the street. Once she was in the car, Matt started driving, “Thanks. You look really good too.” He drove to a nice restaurant near the edge of town, “This is my favorite place.”

@ american nightmare;

Brian smiled at her, "I like being outdoors too, and bowling. Cooking, eh, not my thing." Brian laughed shaking his head. "I suck at cooking." Brian smiled at her.

---

Anna smiled looking at the place, "I come here a lot. I love this place." Anna told him softly.

Cora laughed softly, “I used to cook all the time with my mom. I’m nowhere near as good as her, but I’m not bad.”

---

Matt smiled as he got out of the car and went over to Anna’s side, opening her door. “I guess I made a pretty good choice,” he laughed softly.

@ american nightmare;

"We'll maybe you can let me sample yours, one time." Brian winked smiling at her.

---

Anna giggled, "That you did." She smiled holding to his arm as they entered the restaurant. She smiled as they were sited. She looked at Matt admiring him, "I am glad you messaged me asking me out."

“You’ll have to invite me over sometime and I can cook for you,” Cora smiled over at him.

---

Matt grinned as he walked inside with her and sat down. “I didn’t exactly have the patience to wait too much longer before I could see you again,” he laughed softly.

@ american nightmare;

Brian grinned at her, "Of course I will." Brian told her smiling at her. Once they'd finished eating he looked at her and smiled. "Do you wanna go for a dip?" Brian questioned. "Part of the lake is near this place." Brian told her.

---

Anna blushed smiling at him, "I am glad you asked when you did. Cause neither did I." Anna admitted smiling at Matt as she took and admired him a second. She felt like the luckiest girl on earth.

Cora finished her food when she heard Brian mention the lake. “Yeah, that sounds like fun.” She smiled as she stood up and waited for Brian. She looked at him for a moment, feeling incredibly lucky that she met Brian.

---

“I was going to ask you before we left the beach, but we got interrupted. I didn’t really want to ask over text, I’d rather do it in person,” Matt smiled, still in a bit of awe that Anna was actually on a date with him.

@ american nightmare;

Brian grinned as he got up and walked with her. Taking her down to the small dock, he stripped out of his clothes. Standing in his boxers he smiled at her before running off the dock. Cannoning ball into the water, he surfaced grinning, "Coming?" He taunted her a little.

---

Anna smiled softly at him, "Either way, I am glad you did." Anna told him as she saw the waiter come over to take their orders. Placing her order, she looked at him smiling. "So how was work?" She asked.

Cora followed quickly, watching as Brian stripped out of his clothes. She bit her lip gently, looking over his body. Taking off her shorts and top, leaving her in her bra and panties, Cora ran off the dock and jumped. Surfacing, she smiled over at him, “This is nice.”

---

“Me too,” Matt smiled over at her. Once he placed his order, he turned his attention back to Anna. “It was good, a lot longer than I had planned on,” he told her. “What about you, how was work for you?” Matt asked.

@ american nightmare;

Brian smiled at her, admiring the view he had before him he nodded his head. "I agree. This is very, nice." He smiled at her as he took and swam over to her splashing water playfully at her.

---

"I can kind of tell." Anna smiled softly taking his hand into her own smiling. "It was usual. Long, and demanding snooty mothers. Thinking I don't know what I am doing." Anna smiled at him.
