An Unexpected Love

Brittany’s POV

After driving Avery out to her date with CC with a pair of scissors (do not trust me when I have sharp objects in my hand), I started getting ready for my own date with Ashley. I was humming along with the song that was on, but pretty soon I was singing, considering I was alone.

“Believe in me.
Just keep your faith and believe in all that you make.
Believe in me.
My love is not a gamble you can count on me.
Believe in me.
No lies just love I will be pure just like the sun.”

There was a knock on the door and I stopped the music.

“Who is it?”

“Your own personal stalker here to take you as mine!” I laughed.

“Come on in, Ashley. I will be ready soon!” I turned the music back on, but a different song started to play. Saviour. I was humming along for a little, mostly while I was trying to pick out what to wear. Then, figuring Ashley couldn’t hear me, I sang along.

“So here I write my lullaby,
To all the lonely ones.
Remember as you learn to try,
To be the one you love.
So I can take this pen,
And teach you how to live.
What is left unsaid,
The greatest gift I give.
So hear my voice,
Remind you not to bleed,
I’m here.
Saviour,
Will be there.
When you are feeling alone,
Oh.
A Saviour
For all that you do,
So you live freely without,
Their harm.”

I heard clapping and turned around to find Ashley standing in the doorway of the room I was standing there. I looked at him, shocked, then quickly turned off the music.

“What the hell?!” He held his hands up, realizing I was pretty pissed off.

“If it helps, you’re really good.”

“No, it does not help! For one, you heard me singing, for two, you are in the doorway of my room!”

“But you are already dressed…” It was true. I had a really nice long sleeved black shirt that proofed out at the wrists and hem at the bottom, and a very dark green skirt that went down to my knees and looked like one of those old time dresses that had the baskets underneath them, only on a lesser form, considering it clung to me here and there when I moved. I was also wearing my heels that had green and black on them (black on the top and green underneath), but none of that was the point.

“Not the point! God, I can’t believe you heard me singing. Even Avery hasn’t heard me sing yet, and I pride myself on that!” He came over.

“But your voice is so nice, I mean…” He scratched the back of his head. “I’m just kind of confused.” I sighed.

“I prided myself on my singing voice for the longest time. I was the only girl to be able to sing both soprano and bass without completely screwing up my voice. I prefer to sing alto, though. But…two people decided to ruin that for me. Now can we please change the subject?” He looked at me and then pulled me in for a hug, chuckling.

“There you go again, listening to other people and doubting yourself. You really should stop doing that.” I returned the hug, then started to push him out the door.

“Now out. I’m not ready yet.” He chuckled again and left the room, and this time I made sure to close the door. I plugged in my straightener and waited for it to height up. As I was doing that, I did a smoky eye look with black eyeliner and green eye shadow ( in case you can’t tell already from what I am wearing and my snakebites, my favorite colors are in fact black and green). I then straightened my hair, but left a slight curl in my bangs over my eye because I didn’t feel like fighting it. I then unplugged it, and added the final touch, dark red lipstick on the verge of being black. I put it in my purse then went down to Ashley. I hadn’t been paying attention to his outfit before. He was wearing his Deviant jacket ( I don’t know why) and a black shirt. He had his cowboy boots and a really nice pair of skinny jeans on. He had told me to dress fancy, but I think he looked better. “For the record I’m still mad at you.” He pouted.

“Come on. I don’t want you mad at me during our date.” I walked over right in front of him.

“The puppy eyes aren’t going to work, Mr. Deviant.” He smirked.

“Will this?” He grabbed me by my hips and pulled me in for a kiss. I knew I shouldn’t have, I was mad at him, but all the same I melted into it. When I pulled away, he had lipstick all over his lips. I giggled. “What?” I reached over and started to wipe off his lips.

“Hard to stay mad at you when you look so funny wearing my lipstick.” I giggled again. He puckered up then.

“Do I look sexy?” I was full on laughing then, and he just smirked and finished taking off the lipstick. “Come on. We’re going to be late for our reservations.” I raised an eyebrow.

“Reservations? Where are we going anyway?” He shook his head.

“It’s a secret.” I pulled my last card. I pouted.

“Ashhhhhhy!” I whined. He just chuckled.

“Nope. Not this time.” He was referring to the time on the bus where I had used his pet name to try and get some information out of him and it had worked. I pouted again.

“Fine.” He led me over to his car, and we hopped in. Before we started driving, he blindfolded me. “Is the blindfold nessicary?”

“Yup.” I felt the car start to move. Let me tell you, I hate surprises. And blindfolds. He is lucky I’m putting up with this. I sighed. What had I gotten myself into with this guy?

Notes

Next will be the date,
I promise.
By the way...
I'm also on a cliffhanger with CC and Avery's date XD
