Leaving the cave, going into the unknown

Chapter 8

After our day of movies and talking I started to feel gross, as I hadn’t had a shower the day before.

“Could you possible keep yourself entertained long enough so that I could have a shower? I’m feeling a little gungy.” I admitted awkwardly considering he had to cuddle with my gross dirty self all morning.

“No problem, you sure you don’t need my help?” He said with a smirk, hopefully one day I’ll accept that request but for now….

“I’m ok. I’ve been showing by myself for 21 years but if I need your help I’ll yell ok?”

“Fine what ever you say. Actually how would you like going to a dinner with the band and I tonight? We usually meet the next day and have a group dinner to celebrate the end of tour.” After this morning I couldn’t say no, I really wanted to be around him all day as selfish as that sounded.

“Ya that sounds awesome!” I jumped up from my seat and headed upstairs.

“Remember” I heard so I snapped my head back “Just call if you need me” he winked, I just shook my head and whispered, “one day Ashby one day.”

I got into the show and washed my hair and shaved everywhere I could think that would need to be shaved for tonight. I used a body wash I only use for special occasions then got out. I blow-dried my bangs so they would be styled and decided to let my hair air dye. I put in a marble pair of plugs, a ring in my nose and a small necklace my mom had gotten me for Christmas. Looking in my closet I found a skater dress that would work for a nicer restaurant or a bar, and threw it on. I decided to just wear my vans because heals would be way too much work and I didn’t need a broken ankle right now. I put on foundation, a little bit of eye shadow and some mascara; Alan had seen me at my worst so I wasn’t too concerned about how I looked.

After finishing everything I went back to the living room to see Alan sitting on my couch having a nap. I walked over to him and moved the hair out of his eyes. This was defiantly an Instagram moment so I got my phone out and snapped a photo on my phone with the caption:

@AlexCase: Found @AlanAshby in his natural position, asleep #wakeup #toocute #sleepyginger

After having a good laugh I decided to wake him up no matter how cute he looked asleep on my couch. I started to gently shake him until he started to stir and look up at me with a grin on his sleepy face.

“I wouldn’t mind waking up to that face everyday. You look beautiful Alex.” He said as he sat up and took my hands from my standing position in front of him.

“Thank you. What time should we get going?”

Looking at his watch his eyes widened slightly as his head snapped back to look at me.

“5 or 10 minutes ago but its ok cause I like to be fashionably late anyway, come one.” He grabbed my hand and led me out to his car out front; he opened the door to the passenger’s side and closed it when I got in.

“Thank you kind sir.” I said as he got in beside me.

“Well my mamma raised me to be a perfect gentleman on a date.” I was thrown back, I thought this morning was our date and this was just a friendly dinner.

“This is a date? I thought this morning was the date?” I cocked my head to the side like a confused puppy.

“The whole day is a date, but not THE date.” Now I was totally lost. He started to drive away towards the restaurant.

“What’s THE date if this is not THE date?”

“I promised you a date to make up for injuring you and this isn’t it but it is a date.” I kind of got it, but I just decided to go along with it because it meant another date with Alan later. I grinned and looked out the window as we drove onto our next date that wasn’t THE date but was a date. It’s going to be very confusing being with him.

We arrived at the restaurant within 30 minutes and Alan parked the car, we were at a casual restaurant so I was dressed perfectly. I got out of the car and saw Alan try to do it for me but didn’t make it to my side fast enough.

“Hey that was my job!” he huffed and stomped his foot like a 2 year old.

“I can open a door Alan trust me I got this.” I ruffled his hair and walked towards the restaurant while he ran to catch up with me and took my hand in his. I smiled up at him.

“You know I never realized how tiny you are. How tall are you.” He said while patting my head.

“I’m 5’2”. Sorry we can’t all be super tall ‘Oh look at me I’m Alan, I’m crazy tall and like to make fun of short people’ “ I tried to do my best impression of the way he walks, I think I had it pretty much on point.

“Hey I don’t sound like that at all.” He pouted while grabbing the door and holding it open allowing me to go in first.

“Whatever you say Alan, what ever you say.” I took his hand this time as we walked up to the Hostess, but before she could say anything Austin came out of nowhere to greet us.

“Hey Alan you made it, and you brought Alex great to see you again, come on we’re this way.” The Hostess looked startled but we just followed Austin. He led us to a large table in the back with 10 seats, enough for each band member and a date. Austin sat down in a chair next to a pretty blonde girl; Alan pulled the chair for me to sit in the seat next to her. I was hoping that Alan would put me on the end but he decided to sit there and I didn’t want to be rude so I sat down in the pulled out chair. The second I sat down the blonde greeted me excitedly.

“Hi I’m Val it’s nice to meet you Alex.” She put her hand out so I felt inclined to shake. At this point I really wished Alan had put me on the end, I could feel my anxiety rising up from being near all these people and most of them were new or I was meeting them for the second time. Alan sensed this and took my hand under the table and squeezed, I looked at him and I immediately called down.

Dinner was good but now we were all finished our meals, Val ended up being really nice and not intimidating as I first thought. Before I knew it, it was time to go and Alan was driving me home. Dinner made me feel like one of the group, they asked me questions and I contributed towards the conversations. It was nice.

We arrived at my door that Alan had walked me too and we faced each other.

“I had a great time tonight Alan, hell I had a great day. It was amazing.”

“No problem just remember this was a date but there’s still THE DATE ok? I don’t want you to forget.” He said quickly and making sure to pronounce ever work so I would defiantly hear it.

“I won’t. Goodnight.”

“Goodnight Alex.”

We wanted to kiss each other, you could tell, but we were both unsure if the other person wanted too.

“OH JUST KISS EACH OTHER ALREADY GOD!” Came a loud voice from inside, defiantly Kate. We both started to laugh.

“Well I guess we better listen to the lady.” He said with that classic Alan smirk that I loved each time he presented it.

“I guess we should.” He leaned in slowly and I met him half way. The second our lips touched it was like that’s where they had always belonged. They had found their way home, it was light but full of passion and when we pulled away we looked each other in the eye.

We both broke out into a grin. I slowly moved back feeling slightly off balanced after that kiss and opened my door, went inside, closed it and slid down the back of it. I saw Kate beside the doorframe looking at me with a smile on her face.

“Told you, you guys are totally gonna bang…” She laughed and walked away.
