The Dating Plan Novels & Stories

He pulls me in, gripping my waist so tight that I can feel his fingers dig into my skin. Aiden pulls away from the kiss, freeing my hands from above my head. "I need five minutes to decide whether I want to continue this, or go with what I had planned," He utters. I bite my bottom lip. "What did you plan?" I ask. "I was going to take you out on a date," He blurts out. My mouth falls open. What the fuck! Aiden Blacksmith had planned to take me on a date. “ Okay, I will go with the second option,’’ Aiden mutters. “ We're going out.”

"Care to clue me in?" "Promise not to tell Garth?" "Deal." Benji held out his hand. Scarlett leaned on the island and shook his hand. "We're going to date for a year, maybe a year and a half. If we still want to get married, we'll do it fast. No long engagement or anything, just pick an evening that works for us, order some catering and do it. Then, after six months or another year, we'll try for kids." "Wow. That's a highly detailed plan for two people who have been together for a few months."

The planning of the Dates happened on the day August approached me about the bet. Right after we agreed on how the chase would play out, I opened the ideas for the dates that would follow. What she wanted was just to fake it and tell our friends that we did even if we didn't. "In order to be convincing, we actually have to have stories to tell and photos to show."

She planned to seriously discuss with him the plans and problems between them. But how should she discuss this matter? If love is planned, then is it still love? Retreating ten thousand steps, even if there are plans, but the plans cannot keep up with the changes to the laws of being in love, it will definitely be suitable and excellent, right? Initially, she had planned to pursue him, in the end, she failed. Later, she again planned to be good friends with him, in the end, it didn’t last long. Therefore, the dating plan is useless. Plan……is used by love as a plaything to prove that it is useless.

"Another plan? You are really going all out, aren't you?" I nodded enthusiastically. "It's our first official date. I wanted it to be memorable. So, how about we go hiking? There's a beautiful trail not far from here." He chuckled, shaking his head. "Why do you have so much planned for a single date?" I grinned, feeling a bit sheepish but also determined. "Because it's our first date, and I want it to be memorable! That’s why." He laughed, his eyes shining with affection. "Yes, but it also feels like you are trying to squeeze in everything in a single day, as if we are never gonna go on another date."

"His name is 'iamsher.Locked'. What an odd name." "Silly. It's just his username. That dating app allows its users to just use a username instead of using their real names and pictures. In that way, everyone's privacy can be protected." Zoey's forehead creased. "Alright? That sounded so dumb because why the bloody hell would you agree on meeting him if you value your freaking privacy!" Zamantha giggled, even though she can unequivocally noticed that Zoey's nose was now flaring in so much anger.

“Exempt me?” “For the plan to work.” “What plan, Adrian?” His expression settles into something too calm, too decided, too dangerous. “For everyone to buy that you and I are dating.” For a second, my whole body forgets what it was angry about. Dating? The word sounds impossible, ridiculous, and somehow worse than wife, because wife is a secret mistake while dating is public, loud, and daily. I stare at him, waiting for the punchline, but it never comes. “What?” I ask, and this time the word barely makes it out.

Alex piped in as usual as I groaned and tried to keep the conversation pg-13 knowing fully well that they won't let this go, until they were satisfied with the answers that I have given them. "A date is an outing that we go out with a guy, or a girl to talk and have dinner. And they become close and love each other." "And they get married and have babies?" Kelvin cut in as I nodded my head. "Yeah, that sort of thing exactly." Why did it feel like I was setting myself up for something at this point. "So where is your own date? That's how you had us...so where is he?" Alex asked as I winced knowing fully well I had done that to myself giving them a loaded weapon.

“This is a weird situation. We’re both navigating it together. Plus, like you said, we were both drunk.” Lena nodded, but for some reason, it looked like what I said didn’t ease the storm I could see bustling inside her. Rather, it looked like my comment shook it even more. Lena furrowed her brow and took a brief beat before responding. “We should talk about our plan,” she finally said. “What plan?” I asked, rising from my chair to rummage the kitchen. “Our dating plan,” Lena continued. “My father told me that the buzz we created yesterday is already circling around. We should figure out how we want to engage with it. Make it more believable.”

Of course, he won't say it out loud. "So..." She looked back. But before she could see his sweet smile, Brett forged a cough as he stood straight. He looked away and scratched the tip of his nose. "If you can't think of a way to spend our time, I'll lead this date." "Just make sure I'll have fun." "Think of this as training. In case you'll find someone you really really really like, then you can follow this plan. I'm not an expert but at least, I know what a real date is."
