I stand up and runout the folds

"Well? How do I look?" I ask

"Like a woo to the living roorab the jacket Will insisted I borrow the day before and head to theHe's co out of his house so I walk outside and stand inhis car door

"You ready?" he yells

"Yes!"

"Well, come on then!"

I don't move I just stand there and fold ?" He throws his hand up in defeat and laughs

"You said you would pickfor you to pick ets in the car He backs straight out of his driveway and into er door is closest to me He hops out of the car and runs around to open it Before I get in I give hi loose fitted jeans and a black long sleeved shirt that outlines his arms It's the defined arms that prompt me to return his jacket to him

"That reht this for you"

He grabs the jacket and slides his arhs

He waits until I've buckled up before he shuts the door As he's walking around to his side, I notice the car smells likecheese Not old, stale cheese; but fresh cheese, cheddarto eat

When Will gets in, he reaches into the backseat and grabs a sack "We don't have tirilled cheese" He hands me a sandwich and a bottle of soda

"Wow This is a first," I say as I stare at the ite in such a hurry?" I twist open my lid "It's obviously not a restaurant"

He unwraps his sandwich and takes a bite "It's a surprise," he says with awheel with his free hand as he simultaneously drives and eats "I know a lot ht I want to show you what I'ued," I say I really aued

We both finish our sandwiches and I put the trash back in the bag and place it in the backseat I try to think of so to say to break the silence, so I ask him about his family

"What are your parents like?"

He takes a deep breath and slowly exhales "I'ure all that out later Let's ," he says as he relaxes further into his seat

Driving, no talking, keeping it interesting I' what he said in hs when he sees the hesitation on my face and it dawns on him that I've taken what he said out of context

"Lake, No!" he laughs "I justbesides e’re expected to talk about"

I breathe a sigh of relief I thought I had found his flaw "Good," I laugh

"I know a game we can play It's called 'would you rather' Have you played it before?"

I shake o first"

"Okay" He clears his throat and pauses for a few seconds "Okay, would you rather spend the rest of your life with no arms; or would you rather spend the rest of your life with arms you couldn't control?"

What the hell? I can honestly say this date has definitely not started the way any of h

"Well…" I hesitate "I guess I would rather spend the rest of my life with arms I couldn't control?"

"What? Seriously? But you wouldn't be controlling the his ar around and you'd be constantly punching yourself in the face! Or worse, you rab a knife and stab yourself!"

"I didn't realize there were right and wrong answers," I say

"You suck at this!" he teases "Your turn"

"Okay, let me think"

"You have to have one ready!" he says

"Jeez, Will! I barely heard of this gao Give me a second to think of one"

He reaches over and squeezes "

He repositions his hand underneath ers interlock I like how easy the transition is, like we've been holding hands for years So far, everything about this date has been easy I like Will's sense of huh around hi I like that we're holding hands I really like that we're holding hands

"Okay, I've got one," I say "Would you rather pee on yourself once a day at random, unknown times? Or would you rather have to pee on someone else?"

"It depends on who I'd have to pee on Can I pee on people I don’t like? Or is it random people?"

"Random people"

"Pee on myself," he says without hesitation "My turn now Would you rather be four feet tall, or seven feet tall?"

"Seven feet tall," I reply

"Why?"
