~13-Date Night~

"Come on, Danny" Brit whines

"No" I say simply, making sure to keep my face void of any emotion.

"I really think you should try it, Danny" Beth says thoughtfully from the screen of my Mac-book.

I groan.

It was honestly a terrible idea to introduce Beth to Brit.

Now it's like they both agree to be against me and make my life miserable-Beth was hard enough to deal with, now there's two of them always ganging up against me.

"Please, Danny, just this once" Brit pleads

"No" I say again

"Please. Please. Please, Danny, please" 

"No"

"Why won't you do it, though?" Brit cries

"Because it's dumb" I mutter.

I need something to do so I fold my legs in yoga position, pull out my phone and begin to type absolutely nothing-but hey, at least it's something to do while Brit continues her begging.

"It's not" she cries

Beth sees this as the perfect time to intervene "You're doing this, Danny"

"Uh..no, I'm not" I say, hitting the power button on my phone and staring seriously at Beth.

"Yes, you are" she mutters seriously "You have to"

"What are you playing at Bethany?" I ask as her face morphs into a wicked smirk.

Two hours later, I'm dolled up, looking all prissy.

I stare at my image in the mirror and gosh do I hate what I see.

I've always hated makeup and basically everything most girls like.

"You look perfect" Beth sighs happily

"I know right" Brit agrees.

"I look like unicorn poop" I groan.

Beth rolls her eyes, Brit bends over in laughter.

"So, what next, your Majesties?" I ask sardonically.

"Well, your lifts here" Brit skips happily out my room.

I close my eyes, take a deep, long relaxing breath and move to follow.

"Um, are you just gonna leave me here?" Beth scowls at me

"Of course not" I say with the fakest smile as I pick up the Mac-book.

"Thought so" she grins.

"Have I told you how much I hate you?" I grin right back.

"One too many times"

"Good" I smile as I reach where Brit is standing.

"He's right outside" she informs with a sweet smile.

"This is a bad idea" I scowl at them "You don't know how much I hate you both for making me do this"

"We love you too" Beth says as Brit blows me a kiss.

I send them one last glare before storming out of my apartment.

Right in front of my apartment is a white Porsche- Macan compact SUV to be precise.

What¿ I know my cars well

Also, mom bought me this exact model once..I flat out refused it and continued riding with Beth.

I breathe in some fresh air and make my way into the car.

"Hello" I say formally with a polite smile plastered on my face.

"Hey, beautiful" he smiles like an idiot "I'm David Cumberlake, son of Caleb Cumberlake, heir to the Cumberlake empire"

What the actual f**k??! 

I may have never been on a date but I know for a fact that that's definitely not how they start.

"Hi. I'm Danny Sanchez, daughter of nobody and heir to nothing" my face mirrors his idiotic smile.

His eyes glint with so much pride and desire, he's practically eating me with his eyes.

I feel so uncomfortable. I shift awkwardly in my chair.

I can tell he's a proud brat of the worst kind just by the level of arrogance in his demeanor.

The night's only just started and I can already see it going bad.

I stare out the window at the trees and buildings-anywhere but at him-silently cursing Brit and Beth for making me do this.

We drive for a few minutes and we arrive as some luxurious restaurant.

It is lavishly decorated with fresh flowers, tasteful artwork, candle light-really fancy and so not my type.

As we alight from the car, I begin to hear slow, classical music-can this night go any worse?

It has low lighting that makes the atmosphere very romantic.

We make our way inside and take a seat at an assigned table. The waiter arrives almost immediately, he looks shy and innocent-what I would give to have dinner with him instead of this egoistic bastard.

'Wow, so freaking judgemental. Chill girl' says my subconscious.

His eyes scan through the menu and I lower my head to go through the menu in front of me.

I'm just about to place my order when he speaks "We'll both have the Velas tacos"

The young waiter nods obediently and is soon on his way.

"Uh..I was going to have the Meditarranean Shrimp Kabobs" I hiss.

"What's the problem? You'll love what I ordered" he says, pride dripping from every word.

"The problem?" I huff "The problem is that I like to pick my own food"

Another waiter arrives with the wine menu.

"Would you like to pick the wine?" He offers, I just roll my eyes and look away.

"A bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon" he says as we place both the menus in the hands of the waiter.

The food arrives and I make it a point to not so much as taste it-fancy food is not really my thing.

He munches away on his food, not caring to check if I was even eating which I was grateful for.

'You're grateful that he's a selfish bastard?' Asks my subconscious.

The thought makes me laugh a little and that gets him to notice me.

"What's so amusing, Danny?" He asks with his mouth full.

Did nobody ever teach this idiot table manners?

"Nothing" I mutter quickly, raising my wine glass to my mouth.

I take small sips of the wine while he finishes his dinner.

I fetch my phone from the small purse I'm carrying.

A text from Beth sits there on my screen, waiting for me. 

Hey, how's it going?

I quickly type out a reply

Bad...no, worse than bad. He's a total snub. He's a  rich, arrogant jerk.

Her reply is almost instant.

I'm sure you're overreacting, Danny. Just relax and enjoy the date, will you?

I roll my eyes, she's impossible.

~∆~

After about 30 minutes, there's a heavy downpour of rain.

'There's your answer. The night can get worse' my subconscious smirks, reminding me of my earlier mental outburst.

"I'll drop you off at home" says the rich snub.

"Thank you" I say, genuinely grateful as he takes  my hand and leads me to his car.

I don't recognize the path we're going through but I stay quiet because we all know I'm new to Savannah-what do I know?

I try to keep and let him drive-except he doesn't take me home.

My first real date and I've been kidnapped-just great
