I'll Take You Out Though I'm Hardly Worth Your Time

We all just bonded the whole time. We really had fun. Alex was nice the whole time. He really looked interested in everything. I honestly didn’t expect him to be that nice.

“I have to go now guys” Jack suddenly stood up as he looked at his watch

“So fast?” Alex asked

“Well, it’s ten already and I don’t live next door. I actually have to walk to my house” Jack said as he packed his guitar I helped him and handed him his notebook

“Bye guys! I really had fun!” Jack yelled as he opened the front door and exited the house

“Wow. That was cool” Alex muttered when we were alone again

“What do you mean?” I ask him

“Well, Jack plays guitar! I never knew that! And I saw a different side of him. A more serious and passionate side of my best friend. I can’t believe I was missing this much”

“As I said before, Life is full of surprises Gaskarth” I smile

“I never really believed in that until I met you. Ever since I met you, my life has been really different. Now I know all of these things about Jack that I never imagined I’ll ever know. You gave me a fresher outlook in life”

I blush a little as I hear this

“It wasn’t all because of me you know” I mutter as I try to hide the blush forming

“Of course it’s because of you. You’re truly a different girl Sandra. I am more than happy to have met a person like you. I am not saying this because I like you. I am saying this because it’s the truth” he flashed his infectious smile to me again

“Okay, enough of the whole charming me thing” I say as I stood up

He caught my hand and pulled me down

“Thank you for giving me a chance. I know it’s hard for you because of my reputation but you still gave me an opportunity. I appreciate it.” He said seriously now

I smile at him

“Sure.”

“I’ll prove to you that I am serious and that I’ll never do anything to hurt you” he said with resolve

“Well, then, prove it to me okay? I’ll be waiting Alex” I smile again and stood up

Am I making this easy for him? I should control my feelings and watch him really prove himself to me. I can’t show him that I also liked him. I mean, I really like him, but at the same time, I am afraid that he’ll play with me as he unconsciously did to other girls. It wasn’t really his fault that girls flock to him but he is weak in that aspect. What if his feelings for me were just platonic? Or maybe he just liked me because he never actually dated me before.

Perhaps he found me different and he just wanted to try dating a different girl and then he’ll dump me when he gets tired of me already. All of these fears rushed into my brain. I grew more scared as I thought about it so I decided to quit and go to sleep. I gave him a chance and I will not break it and take it away. He indeed looked sincere when he said it.

I’ll stick with that honesty I saw in his eyes.
