I remember I used to think Bentley was really cute. His short light brown hair was spiked with gel. He did smell nice and looked really good in jeans and a black dress shirt. It seemed a little forward since we were just getting to know each other. When Victoria texted him that we planned to go inside the theater early to secure seats, he’d never responded.Īs we waited in the concession line, Bentley put his arm around my shoulder, causing me to stiffen. Truthfully, I had no clue whether Elec was actually planning to show up and prayed he didn’t. “He’ll be here.” She looked over at me with uncertainty. “Victoria, are you sure your date’s showing up?” Bentley laughed. Victoria, Bentley and I got his ticket before they sold out. He had taken a part-time job at a bike shop and would be going home to shower first after work.

But nothing could have prepared me for what actually transpired that night.Įlec was supposed to be meeting us at the cinema. I now had to gear up for what would surely be one of the most awkward dates of my life. Victoria opened her mouth in a silent scream then tapped her feet excitedly on the floor, and it made me want to vomit. “See you Friday night,” he said before disappearing.

Meanwhile, he’d basically admitted he was just doing this to torture me. She thought this was her big chance to make a move on him. The look of satisfaction on her face sickened me. He chuckled and just stared at her for the longest time with a look that screamed, not a chance. “Would you want to join? I mean…we could go with them. He started to walk away, but Victoria called after him. He ignored her question and looked at me. “What movie should Greta see on her date with Bentley?” “Well, I think you should see that new Drew Barrymore romantic comedy. He glanced over at me for a fleeting moment with a troublesome expression. It seemed like he was trying to listen to what we were saying. “So, have you decided which movie you’re going to see with Bentley Friday night?”įrom across the kitchen, I couldn’t help but notice that Elec stopped sifting through the cabinet for a moment and froze. Victoria dipped a pretzel in some nutella and spoke with her mouth full. He then began rummaging through the snack cupboard.

“Hey, Elec.”Įlec grunted in response through the carton before putting it back into the fridge.

The two shamrock tattoos on either side of his rock-hard abs were exposed. Victoria’s eyes fixated on Elec’s shirt riding up as he lifted the milk. Victoria and I were hanging out in the kitchen when Elec walked in and did his usual drinking out of the milk carton routine. It was a couple of days before my Friday night date with Bentley.
