Date I

"Mom, I'm going out for tonight, I'll try to go home as early as I can!" I said to my mother as I walked out of our house.

"Hey sweetie, got a date?" She asked with a playful smirk. Yep, she's teasing me.

"Yeah, I got asked out by a girl." I replied with a wide grin.

She got stunned, I guess she doesn't really expect that.

"Ok honey, just to be sure to use protection ok?" She said. I almost stumbled down the stairs, luckily I've got something to hold on to.

I guess she outsmarted my outsmarting.

"No mom." I said, while thinking the most devilish thing that I can say.

"What no?" She asked, confused.

Heheh

"I will not use one, Be ready to become a granny." I answered her then immediately run away, it wouldn't be safe to stay at this time after I said that.

And you may ask, how did I know the time Gwen and I supposed to meet up?

Well, it's kinda interesting, to say the least.

=====FLASHBACK=====

I'm going to start the One Punch Man training routine today, so first, 10 km run.

Based on the map application in my phone, I need to run across a few blocks multiple times to finish it, and then I'll finish it in the park close to our house.

'This'll be tough' I said to myself while warming up.

----After 45 Minutes----

*huff* *huff* *huff*

"Almost *huff* done" I said, still breathless due to continues running.

'This will kill me' I said in my mind, but I know that if don't do this, that future will surely mess me up.

"CONTINUE!!" I yelled then moved my feet again.

----A Few Minutes Later----

"10km, DONE!!" I yelled again, scaring some kids who are playing in the playground.

I'm currently in a park close to our house, laying down on top of a long concrete table, the likes that is used when you're eating with a large group of friends or families.

I finished that gruelling 10 kilometer run, now it is time for the push ups, sit ups and squats.

'BUT HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THAT?!' I yelled inside my head.

*tung⬇️tung⬆️tungtung⬆️tungunung⬇️ tung⬆️tung⬇️tung⬆️tung⬇️tung⬆️tung⬇️*

My phone rang and I forced myself to answer it, with the last drop of my energy.

"Hello, *huff* who's this?" I said, still as tired as I can be.

"Hey! Don't tell me you forgot our date today?" The one on the other line said.

'Date?' I thought, thinking what date is it and who this might be

"Wh-" I'm answering the girl on the phone when something clicked inside my head.

'Yes, date. Gwen invited me on a date, isn't she?' I said in my mind.

"Gwen?" I asked, a little hesitant.

"Yep, it's me! So pick me up later at 4 ok? And don't you dare foget about it, or I'll punch you!" She said aggressively.

"Don't worry, I won't forget it." I answered her, not scared that she'll cancel the date, but scared of being punched by her in the face.

Well, that's not necessarily the scary part, the scary part is her father, a captain in the police department. I don't want to earn his ire.

"Ok good, see you later." She said

"Wait! I want to ask, where did you get my number?" I asked her, confused as I didn't give her my nymber.

"Well.. uhm. It's Ned, yeah it is Ned that gave me your number." She said, sounding kinda nervous.

"Oh, ok. See you later!" I said, with the most cheery voice that I can muster with the meager strength that I have left.

"Yeah!! See you later!!" She then said, the nervousness is gone.

"Hays, What a drag.." I said while sighing.

I stood up, and I almost fell over but I still managed.

'Ok, Push ups first'

=====END OF FLASHBACK=====

Yeah, that's what happened. And when I got home, Mom thought I was beaten up, she even wants to go to the police station to report it.

And I just realized that I did not gave Ned or Peter my number, so how did she get it, hmm.

"I will just ask her later.." I whispered while walking to the car, and no, I'm not the one driving, It's our grandma's old driver, Mr.Rogers.

"Let's go Mr. Rogers" I said, while sitting at the back of the S-class Mercedes.

"In a hurry for a good first impression from her dad?" He said with his always present gentle smile.

"Nah, I don't really want to date anyone right now. I've got lots of things to do." I said while scratching my head.

Oh yeh, I did'nt tell what am I wearing right??

Well, I'm wearing a black jeans, white shirt with a black denim jacket on top of it, and theeen black sneakers with red accents. Yep, I don't like black, not at all.

"We're here now young man, go get her." The old driver said to me, trying to encourage me.

"Ok. Wait for a bit, I'll get her." I said then casually walked to their door.

'If her father opened the door holding a gun, I'll be out of here.' I said to myself, still finding an excuse to not go to this date.

*knock* *knock* *knock*

"Wait a minute!" Someone said from the other side of the door, a man.

A few seconds passed then a blonde man opened the door, carrying a knife.

"Uhmm, hello sir. Is Gwen here?" I said nervously, while looking at the knife that he is holding.

'Damn, there's a blood stains on it' I thought.

"You're looking for my daughter?" He said, eyes narrowing.

"Uhh. Yes sir, She uhmm, no I asked her out for a date, and luckily, she accepted it." I said, and yes, I said that I'm the one who asked her out, why?

What do you think will be the reaction of a police captain holding a bloodied knife when you said that his daughter asked a man out?.

"Hmmm. Come in, she's upstairs. Wait in the couch for her." He said, walking to the staircase and yelled.

"Gwen, there's someone here, he said you two have a date!" He said the walked to what seems to be the kitchen.

I just stand close to the door. So that if anything happened, like a father holding a shotgun, I'll be close to an exit.

"Oh hey Ivan, you're kinda early!" A female's voice coming from the top of the stairs interrupted me from making my escape plan.

I looked up and saw what seems to be the most beautiful girl that I laid my eyes on.

She's wearing a white jacket on top of her royal blue shirt, white jeans, and pink sneakers.

'Damn, she really is beautiful.' I said to myself, thinking that it may not be that bad.

"Let's go?" She said slowly walking to my side.

"Y-yeah, let's go" I stammered, damnit.

"Dad! We're going!" She shouted at the general direction of their kitchen.

"Home by 10, no bargaining." A stern voice answered.

"Yes daad!" She said while pulling my hand.

I looked at her hand, holding mine. I mulled over it for a second, and decided to hold hers too.

"This may not be that bad"
