A First Date (Haven)

[Sunny Meeks]

Haven had come to the coffee shop nearly everyday for the past few weeks and Sunny looked forward to every second of the visits. He quickly found when the quietest times were and timed his visits so they could have the most time with each other to talk. And they talked a lot. She told him about living in the hippie camp and he told her about his work. His family still was not a subject brought up yet and Sunny didn't dare to pry even though she was curious. Any time anything even close to it was brought up, it was like a dark cloud came over him and she would quickly change the subject. She just wanted to see him happy.

Finally, after two weeks, he asked her on a date. After blushing heavily and a few stammered words, she agreed to it. It would be Friday night and she wanted to cook at her place and they would watch a movie either in or go out, depending on how they felt.

He was to be there at six and at 5:45, Sunny was frantically running around her little studio trying to boil pasta, put on make up, curl her hair, and tidy up. She had just bought a new dress that day, a little blue and white lacy sundress and she was curling her hair to lay softly on her shoulders. She was practically shaking with nervousness and excitement.

[Haven Reynolds]

Haven was at her apartment at ten minutes till six. He was dressed in black jeans and a blue dress shirt. He stopped on the way to Sunny's and picked up flowers and red wine. Once he was in the elevator he started wondering if she was old enough to have wine. The thought made him smile. Did it really matter? No, because he wouldn't take advantage of her even if she got tipsy.

He waited until six and pressed her doorbell. The building wasn't in the greatest section of town but this building was in much better shape than the others and well light and even had guards. He wondered if the owner had made the improvements on it.

[Sunny Meeks]

Sunny jumped about a foot when she heard the door bell. Quickly she through her curling iron and make up away, smoothed her dress, did one last look in the mirror to make sure everything looked okay, and then she opened the door with a big smile. "Haven, hi! Come on in"

She stepped back to let him in, her smile getting bigger at the site of the flowers and wine. He was a romantic! Yay! Her apartment wasn't anything fancy, it was just light, simple, and clean. It was a studio apartment so everything was pretty much in the open. Her bed was on one side with the tv and the kitchen was on the other with a small dining table. "Well...this is it. I am making spaghetti. Should be about done"

[Haven Reynolds]

When she opened the door his mouth almost dropped open. She looked amazing and totally hot. He liked the dress. He stepped inside and handed her the flowers.
"I hope you like them...I wasn't sure what to get." He said coming further into her apartment. It was nice and cute, made him think of her.
"The apartment's nice...I like it." He put the wine on the counter. The spaghetti smelt really good and he realized he was hungry.

[Sunny Meeks]

Sunny smiled at the two compliments. This was her first place ever on her own and she had a lot of fun trying to set it up. It was still rather bare but at least it was a start. She gave him a little hug and kiss on the cheek as she took the flowers, and blushing, she went to a cabinet and filled a vase with water to place them in. While she was over there she checked the spaghetti and sauce. There was french bread in the oven and a salad was already on the table. It looked like the food was done.

She dished the spaghetti and sauce into a big bowl and cut the french bread and brought it over to the table. Then she grabbed two wine glasses and set them down as well. She smiled at him again. "Well, I think it is all ready if you are hungry?"

[Haven Reynolds]

Haven watched her get everything ready at the table then he opened the wine and poured them each a glass. He went over and pulled her chair out for her. He'd been taught to be respectful and pull out chairs and hold doors. He went around and sat down. It smelt and looked amazing.

"It smells great and I'm starving...been waiting all day for tonite." He said giving her a smile.

[Sunny Meeks]

Sunny blushed and sat down. "I..I have too. I am glad you asked to hang out with me...this is sorta a first date for me." She heaped some spaghetti onto his plate then put some down for herself and tried to eat. She was so nervous though, so excited, she found it hard to swallow. Her stomach was in knots.

She ate some salad instead, it was lighter and easier to eat in her nervous state. "I made brownies for dessert later too...Did you have a good day at work?"

[Haven Reynolds]

He tried the spaghetti. It was amazing. He ate some of the salad, it was good too. Then again, he wasn't hard to please. He nodded at the brownies comment. He liked brownies. She asked him about work, he really hadn't work a lot yet.
"It's still slow going right now...I'm sure it will pick up." He said. He didn't want her to worry too much about him. He'd make it till things picked up.

[Sunny Meeks]

She nodded and watched him eat, glad he seemed to be enjoying his food. She finished off her glass of wine, feeling a bit more calmed and relaxed because of it. After they finished eating, she stood and gathered the dishes, putting them in the sink for later. She leaned against the counter and looked at him.

"So...would you like brownies now? Or maybe watch a movie and have them a bit later on?"

[Haven Reynolds]

When Haven had finished and Sunny cleared the dishes he watched her at the counter for a second. That little sundress was nice. She filled it out really well too.

"Let's watch a movie, then we can do dessert...sound good?" He asked, giving her a small smile.

[Sunny Meeks]

Sunny nodded, kind of glad that was his choice because thats what she would have chosen to do. She went over to her tv which was right across from her bed and kneeled down, pulling one of the drawers out. "I have a bunch of movies here....kinda a little bit of everything. What are you in the mood for?"

[Haven Reynolds]

He shrugged. It was her house, she should pick. He'd watch most anything.
"Whatever you pick is fine...I'll watch most anything as long as I get to sit next to you." He said with a smile. He really liked her, even her age didn't bother him. It was just a number.

[Sunny Meeks]

She studied her collection for a moment then finally picked up Star Wars: A New Hope. Everyone liked Star Wars so it seemed like a safe bet. She popped it in the DVD player then grinned at the yellow lettering began to scroll up the screen. Then she looked back to figure out how they were gonna sit. "Uhm...well...this might sound weird but unless you wanna be all the way across the room, we probably should just sit on my bed....if thats okay" A small blush crept into her cheeks

[Haven Reynolds]

Haven was a big Star Wars fan. So this was perfect. He smiled and nodded at her comment, watching her blush. It made her so appealing. He walked over to her, smiling.

"How come you're blushing?" He asked. He thought he knew why but he had to ask because he didn't want to make her uncomfortable.

[Sunny Meeks]

Sunny giggled nervously. "It seems sorta forward to ask you to go on my bed on our first date...I dont want you to think I am that sorta girl. It-it's just the only place to sit here. I dont want you to think...I dont want you to think bad things about me." She looked up at him, uncertainty in her eyes.
