Chapter 2 Dating Novels & Stories

“Fine. We’ll share a room—but not a bed. And I mean it. We take things slow. I need to know who you really are before I give myself to something so… irreversible.” He runs a hand through his hair, frustration flickering across his face. “And how do we do that, exactly? Get to know each other… slowly?” I draw in a breath. “Let’s… date.” Jack blinks at me like I’ve grown a second head. “What does that even mean?” I blink back. “You don’t know what dating is?” He tilts his head. “No. Should I?” I almost laugh, but there’s too much tension. ” I read about it in a book. Humans—before they get married—they date. They spend time together. Learn if they’re compatible before they commit for life.”

CHAPTER FOUR: ENGAGEMENT PARTY ✧FAITH ZEICAN LEE✧ It’s been a month since Chloe and I started dating. I’ve taken this time to get to know her, and so far, I’m starting to really like her. Why wouldn’t I? She’s a sweet girl. At first, I was a bit nervous around her, but now I feel more at ease because she’s easy to get along with. She knows how to carry on a conversation when she notices I’m getting quiet, which sometimes happens due to my shyness.

I tilt my head back and laugh, which makes his ears turn the brightest shade of pink. “I love you, Nixie.” He says back. “And I am not sure where we’re supposed to go from here but I think that according to research, when two people love each other, they are meant to be in a relationship which is popularly known as ‘dating’” “Right.” I nod my head, still grinning. “Let’s try that.” -- Ivan: Three weeks later, “You have to multiply two by that number, not X.” I say softly to Nixie, but she’s too busy studying my face to pay attention. “Nixie, focus.”

“You know, these days, girls are always in danger. It’s good to let your roommates know where you are going.” I shook my head with a fond smile. I liked her already and I had a feeling we were going to be closer in the future. “I’m going on a date.” “Ouuu, with who?” “With a man.” I deadpanned. She pouted. “Is he your boyfriend? First date?” Good question. Was Damon my boyfriend? We were exclusive so he could as well be considered one, right? Then again, it was just sex. A man didn’t pay his girlfriend for sex. “Second date.”

He continued. "What does dating mean?" I asked, and they gave me a blank look. "you lived under a rock or what, how the hell you don't know that, you are 18!" Mickey exclaimed, scaring me, before sighing. "Date, like they were boyfriend and girlfriend before" Ace explained, and my mouth turned to 'o' in understanding. "They even used to have sex, you know" Mickey whispered in my ears. Rei whined sadly at the information and I slightly felt ripped.

I gave him a glare. "We've been dating for two years now! There's nothing wrong about it!" he firmly told me. I shook my head. I wanted to shout in his face that he couldn't touch two women on the same day, but I held back because my mind kept telling me that I couldn't afford to lose him. "We're just dating! You said it yourself, Jiro! We're dating and not married! S.ex is only for married couples, and we're not freakin' married yet!" I firmly replied to him, wanting to slap myself.

The Second Date In some ways, a second date can be harder than the first. With a first date, it’s all about testing the waters and seeing if the initial attraction has any possibility of going somewhere. But a second date…that’s when things start to get real. Taking my own advice, our first date was a group date. We went to Luna Park and had a ball. I walked her to her door at the end of the night and gave her a kiss on the cheek and we made plans for our second date.

Embarrassment took over. My cheeks flushed with heat, and I struggled to admit the truth. "I've never dated before." It didn't surprise me when his brows raised in shock-even dorks dated. "And other than a game of spin the bottle, I'd never been kissed." I rolled my eyes when he cocked his head, intrigued. "So, as shallow as it sounds, Chet's attention was similar to winning the lottery. He's gorgeous, an athlete, built-"

I was poking at my eyelashes with the mascara wand again just as Conor knocked and opened the front door. “Chloe?” The door shut again. “Two seconds.” Shit. What does one even do on a second first date? Is this even a first date? He said he wanted to talk. Is it a talking date? A friend date? A parent date? A romantic date? Good grief. I pushed his baby out of my vagina and I was worrying about going for dinner with him. I also fucked him two days ago, for the second time in just under three weeks, so I think we can safely say this isn’t a friend or parent date.

For somebody who has zero experience in dating, she is too brazen on a first date! Although this double date might be a good chance to observe her, she figured. Isn’t it a golden principle to keep your enemies closest to you? At the dinner table, Care and Ivy sat beside each other while the boys were across them. Thus, they were facing one another. A typical dating setup. "If anyone is really a newbie here --- It's wimpy kid Lark-y!" she inwardly thought.
