First Date

I don't know why but I'm nervous I'm never nervous for dates so it's something new. I was going through my closet. When Mike walked in.

"Hey what you doing?" He asks.

"Um getting ready for a date."

"Then what's taking you so long?"

I sigh, "I don't know what to wear."

"Huh you usually don't care."

"I know it's weird I'm nervous and don't know what to wear its like I'm a ****** in high school."

Mike laughs at that, "well your certainly not that,"

"Thanks," I roll my eyes.

Surprisingly Mike has gotten better I don't know if he hides it or what but it's good that we're still friends he wallowed in bed yesterday all day so I don't know what's going on in his head.

I put on a pair of black jeans and a red button up shirt. I think I'm gonna stick with that. I head out of my room and find Phoebe standing there ready. She's in a beautiful dark blue dress that hugs her body perfectly and her hair is down and curled.

"Your beautiful," I blurt.

She giggles, "Thanks."

She grabs my hand and pulls me to her car. I still don't know where we're going. She starts driving and it starts to look familiar.

"Are we going to lake?" I ask.

"Yup we're going fishing." She smiles.

I can't help but grin. She knows that's one of my favorite things to do.

"Do you have the stuff?" I asked.

"Of course I do."

I'm so happy that we're going fishing who would have guessed that was her plan.

"Do you even like fishing?" I ask

"Uh yea it's one of the only times I feel at peace." She states like its obvious.

It's the same way for me. That's the only time I'm at peace. I'm about to tell her this when she screams, "we're here."

She rushes out the car to the trunk and grabs all the gear. Phoebe turns to me indicating to follow. I run to catch up with her. We stop at a spot that looks good.

"I'm gonna catch more fish than you." She claims.

"You keep thinking that," I laugh.

"Oh I know it just watch."

For the next twenty minutes we sit in silence with our bobbers in the water. It's was dead. No fish were biting. I was gonna give it another twenty minutes Before Phoebe started complaining.

To my surprise she didn't she looked completely at peace and then her bobber went down. She immediately went into action. She jumped up and started to reel it in. After about 30 seconds of fighting with the fish she brought it on land.

“Ha told you I’d catch more fish than you.” Phoebe said proudly.

I just shook my head and laughed. I just stared at her loving the pride she had on her face. She put the fish in our fish bucket and cast her line again. After about another 20 minutes I gave up.

“We’re not gonna catch anything else.” I stated.

“I just caught one.”

“Twenty minutes ago.”

“I thought you enjoyed fishing?”

“I do if I’m catching something,” I answered.

“Mm well I’m getting hungry you want lunch.” Phoebe said and walked back to the trunk and pulled out a bag with food.

“Your the best babe.” I smiled.

“Only because I brought food.”

“Not true.”

“Really what do you like about me?” She questions.

“A lot of things your beautiful kind a little crazy and your selfless.”

Her face is bright red. “You should of asked if you didn’t want to hear.” I laughed.
