Halie's POV
I flipped through the channels and groaned because I couldn't find anything good to watch. The past couple of weeks flew by with all my classes and practices with the dance team.
The college has temporarily stopped all sport activities while the investigation into the rape was going on. Even though we weren't performing, Heather had us out in the heating sweating and busting our asses to make sure we were perfect for game day.
It was currently almost noon and I was having a lazy day until my phone went off. I sighed dramatically while reaching over to my bed side table to grab my phone. Of course it would be Ian. Who else would dare to disturb me?
Him
Be ready in fifteen minutes
Halie
For what??
Him
Our first date
"Oh my god!" I screamed and jumped out of bed. I needed to get ready. It was our first date. Took him long enough to finally prepare something.
Halie
What should I wear?
Him
Something comfortable but cute. I don't know if that helps. I'm not a girl
To Heather

Heather
Some jean shorts since it's hot today and a nice top! I want details! Maybe even a dress if you feeling frisky. Later!
I pulled out a pair of blue jean shorts and a cute ruffled crop top. After getting dressed, I fixed my hair into a bun. looked at myself and smiled, happy with the result. "I look good," I mumbled then blew myself a kiss. I giggled at my silliness and smiled again. Happy looked good on me.
Not even ten minutes later, a knock sounded throughout the house. "I'll get it!" I yelled and ran down the stairs, nearly tripping over my own feet. "Slow down Halie!" Aunt Carol yelled and I laughed.
Opening the door, I smiled then frowned at who I saw. "What do you want?" I asked angrily, crossing my arms. "Can we talk?" Trey asked and I scoffed. "No," I growled and pushed passed him. I walked quickly to Ian's house and knocked on the door.
"Go away!" I snapped, looking back at Trey. He narrowed his eyes. "Are you f*****g him?" He asked angrily and I gasped. "Excuse me?!" I yelled as Ian's door opened. "Why are you even here?" I questioned but I was cut off by Ian's growling.
He took one look at Trey and went to lunge for him but I stopped him. "Don't Ian. Let's just go please," I begged him and he nodded, releasing an angry gust of air. "Fine."
The ride to wherever Ian was taking me was quiet. He stopped his truck then looked at me with concern. I was getting that look a lot from him lately.
"I don't like that he came to you," he growled and I sighed. "I don't like it either, but it's our first date. Let's not ruin it," I told him with a smile and he smiled back hesitantly.
"You're right," he said softly, licking his lips. "Can I kiss you?" He asked suddenly and I nodded.
Hell yeah b***h!
He inched closer and I licked my lips, soon closing the gap between us. Our lips touched and I moaned into his mouth. The kiss was slow and passionate and it left my insides burning.
The feeling doesn't make me as uneasy anymore. I no longer feel dirty and guilty at the pleasures. "Let's get down pretty girl," he whispered against my lips and I groaned.
"Do we have too?" I asked and he chuckled. "Yes, because I want to do this right. You're different Halie. You're special," he said softly and I felt my heart melt.
I smiled then pecked his lips. "Thank you Ian," I told him and he smirked. "No problem baby." I blushed and pushed him away. "Let's get out of the truck now," I told him as I opened the door.
I hopped down and waited for Ian to come to my side. He soon appeared and laced his fingers with mine. I smiled at the sight and looked up at him. He was staring at me, smiling, as if I was the most beautiful thing he ever saw.
"So what are we doing at a field?" I asked, looking around. "You aren't going to kill me, right?" I asked, nervously and he chuckled. "No Halie. I'm not going to kill you. I just really needed to be away from home and I feel safe when I'm with you," he told me and I frowned.
"What happens at home Ian?" I questioned and he looked away. "Nothing," he mumbled. "Anyways, we're going to have a picnic then go fishing," he informed me and I smiled a soft smile.
"Sounds good. Thank you," I told him and kissed his cheek. He'd tell me when he's ready. It's not my place to push. Not everyone would open up easy like I did.
We walk for a few minutes until we get to a hug tree. Under the tree is a large blanket laid out with a basket sitting on it.
"Have a seat," he said with a smile. I smiled back and sat on the blanket. He soon joined me and opened up the basket, pulling items out. He set a plate in front of both of us and started pulling our different kinds of finger foods.
I grabbed a strawberry, slowly bringing it to my mouth to take a bite. I watched Ian's reaction and I giggled. He groaned and narrowed his eyes. "You're evil," he said and I smirked. "I know."
"What kind of sandwich you want? Ham? Turkey?" He asked and I laughed. "Damn, you had this planned to a T, hug?" I asked and he scratched the back of his neck.
"I wanted it to be nice," he mumbled and I smiled a real smile. "It's perfect."
