That Girl

Marnie's POV

"Great, where do you want to go?" He said with a cheeky grin. "Oh, uh, haha, wherever," I said, smiling dumbly. I walked to the front hall and grabbed my coat from the closet. He opened the front door for me and I walked out, grinning up at him.

I don't know why I was so giddy; I was going on a date with someone I didn't even know. I should have been scared if anything. But, I couldn't control my emotions. We walked over to his white Escalade and he opened that door for me, too. I hopped in and sat on the cool seat. He slammed the door and then before I knew it he was in the car with me. He looked over at me and looked all up and down my body and then he turned on the car.

Harry's POV

As we were driving, a small voice asked, "So where are we going?" I thought about it. "It's a surprise," I said with a sneaky, flirty grin. "Ooh, a mystery place. I like it," She said in a slow, seductive voice. She hovered her hand over the radio knob, then asked, "May I?" "Sure." She turned on the radio and a familiar song came on,

I-I-I wanna give you one last option,

I-I-I wanna give you one last chance.

I-I-If you're looking for the main attraction,

Just hold on tight and let me do my dance.

She belted out the lyrics with her eyes closed. She swayed and put her hands up. The rap part came up and she said every word perfectly. I laughed a small laugh as I watched her just have fun and loosen up. As she heard my laugh, she abrubtly stopped singing and she forgot that she was not the only one in the car. Her cheeks got a dangreous scarlet colour as she looked down at her lap.

"Sorry, I just, I li-like that song," She said as a giggle formed on her lips. "You have a nice voice, and you're a very good rapper," I said. She started to laugh as she muttered, "Thanks." "No problem." I said with a large smile.

Just then, another familiar song came on. She started to softly hum it as I glanced over to her. The singer began with,

You're insecure, don't know what for,

You're turnin' heads when you walk through the door.

Don't need makeup, to cover up.

Being the way that you are is enough,

Everyone else in the room can see it, everyone else but you....

Mar sang a few words here and there of this song, a lot quieter this time. "Good song, huh?" I said jokingly to her as I glanced over. "Yeah, it's good," She said happily. Then, I saw realization come over her. "Oh, this is you, right?" She said slowly. "Haha yeah," I said as I pulled into the parking lot. I stopped the car and quickly ran over to her side of the car. I swung open the door and she hopped down.

We kind of awkwardly walked over to the restaurant; not too close, we kinda just met, but not too far away. A man in a fancy outfit greeted us at the door and said,"Will it just be you two?" "Yes." Mar quickly answered and looked up at me. "Okay, right this way. You're lucky; we have one table left." "Oh, well thank you," Mar said with a very sweet smile as she looked into the waiter's eyes. A wave of jealousy poured over me; the way she was looking at him that way. "Harry, just chill out. She's not even your girlfriend and he's just the waiter AND she's just being nice." I thought in a fast manner.

We sat down and picked up our menu's. She had the menu up over her face so it was shielded from my view. I lifted my eyes over my card. I could just make out the top of her blonde, gorgeous head.

I think she was able to notice that I was gazing at her as she slowly lowered the menu and looked at me with her eyebrow cocked. "Everything okay?" She asked nervously, taking a sip of her water. "Oh, yeah, yeah, fine. What looks good to you?" "Oh, the caeser salad sounds nice." She said politely. "Mar, you can order anything you want, don't worry. You don't have to order a salad if you don't want to," I said knowingly. "Oh, but everything is so expensive here. I don't want to make you mad or anything.""Mar, don't worry; that's why I took you here. I wanted to let you have a good time and have something you really want." I said with a smile. "Well, okay, if you insist..." She said hesitantly as she looked back down at the large menu.

I started to think about what I should get. There was King Crab with butter, there was a whole bunch of different steak choices, there was a ton of fish options, there were of course many salads, and there was some pasta. I decided on the linguini with lobster; it looked to die for.

The waiter came around and asked us if we were ready to order. "I'll take the filet mignon-" Marnie started, flashing an apologetic glance at me. "-and I'd like it medium rare please." She ended with a smile and then handed the man her menu. "And for you, sir?" He asked, turning to me. "I'll take the linguini with lobster, with extra parmesian, please." I concluded as I shoved the menu towards our waiter. "Any drinks?" He asked, looking rapidly between the two of us. "We'll take two cokes, thank you." I said abrubtly, not giving Marnie the time to wonder if I'd buy her a drink, too. "Alrighty, I'll be back soon." He stated as he hurried off towards the kitchen.

When I looked up, Marnie was smiling at me.
