The Light Behind Your Eyes

The rest of the week panned out pretty much the same. The guys and I got really close really fast, I actually felt like I had known them for years, we all had the same sense of humor and I just feel so comfortable around them all. I still haven't told them about my mom, I don't really know why, I suppose it could be because I don't want them to treat me any different but I guess at the same time I wouldn't really know how to tell them, it's not exactly easy to just bring into conversation. We spent the weekend chilling in either Ellies or Aarons house and I loved every minute of it. I told them that I smoked turns out none of them care, Ellie smokes too and the rest admitted to smoking when they're drunk so it's all good. They've also not mentioned anything about the rumors going around school about how wealthy I am which I appreciate, it shows that they don't care about it, they just like me for me.
Things became less awkward between Frank and I. We both just kind of relaxed and conversation flows much smoother now, it helps that I go out at the end of lunch for a smoke with him and Bob, it's nice to see what he's like around his friend. Bob seems really nice too, his personality totally contradicts his stature - he's big and muscly but so shy. I've loved getting to know more about Frank everyday. He told me that he's in a band with Bob and his other friends, they're Gerard and Ray who's 2 years older than us and Mikey who's Gerards' younger brother, he's our age but goes to a different school. He's a major movie buff like myself, his favorite directors are Martin Scorsese, Michael Bay and Quentin Tarantino of course just like mine. We both bonded over our love of Batman along with our hatred for superman. I was pleasantly surprised with how much we naturally had in common.

Today was the start of the new week and I was wearing my blues brothers top tucked into my tight, black high-waisted skinny jeans with an open, oversized denim shirt and my white and black brogue creepers. I applied the same make up as usual but decided to wear my hair down today for a change. Frank greeted me as I took my seat in chemistry,
"Hey newbie!" I loved that he had a pet name for me.
"Hi Frank, how was your weekend?"
"Meh, average. Just hung out with the guys, how was yours?"
"Pretty much the same" by this stage he was already staring at my chest.
We began setting up for the practical.
"Nice top by the way" He said winking at me
"Thanks, do you like the Blues Brothers?"
"Yeah they're sick!"
"Really? Didn't think a 'hardcore' guy like you would be into them"
"You kidding? I love them! I love old music like that, you know blues, jazz, soul, motown."
"No way! Me too! They just don't make music like that anymore." he nodded his head implying he agreed.
"Have you ever been to the living room?" he asked
"No, what is it?"
"It's a sick jazz and blues bar, you busy tonight?"
"No, i'm completely free" - now you just sound desperate!
"Wana come with me tonight? They have a live band play every Monday, it's unreal!"
"Yeah sure...I'd love to." I was blushing uncontrollably now, was this a date?
"Cool, do you have a curfew?"
"No why?"
"Good, The place doesn't really liven up till after 11 so we'll be out quite late" He said with a wink.
We carried on with our practical discussing old retro music and while we were on our way to our next class he asked for my number so we could arrange a time, I was so excited I couldn't stop smiling like an idiot! As soon as I got to Art I told Lana and Ava about me and Franks arrangements, Ava was over the moon for me but Lana still had her reservations.
"I don't think it's a date, I'm sure it's just a friend thing you know?
"Well, just keep your guard up!"
"We're totally coming to your house to help you get ready though, right?!" Ava asked
"Duh! I can't get ready for this alone!"

Franks POV
I'd never been excited for school until Izzy came into my life, but I hated that it was the only opportunity that I got to see her. I'd love to see her out of that place, mainly on a date with me, everyday I'd wake up with the intention of asking her out and everyday i'd pussy out, that is until today. She walked in and I had to take a second look to realize that it was her, she looked different with her hair down, still as beautiful as ever though. She caught me staring at her tits again but I'm pretty sure I saved myself by commenting on her top. I can't believe she's into retro shit like me, the only people who knows I like that stuff is my closest friends, not even Jess new that side of me and I dated her for 7 months. I can't wait for our date tonight, although...I didn't formally ask her on a date. Oh God what if she agreed thinking it's just a friend thing? I suppose I should just be grateful that I get to spend any time with her at all!

Izzy's POV
Time flew that day, it was already 9 o clock and I was still deciding what to wear with the help of my friends, but because we're all so different we all had different ideas on what to wear which just made me so confused.
"This is to DIE for you HAVE to wear it!" Aaron said standing behind me holding my little black sparkly dress in front of me.
"Too dressy!"
"Oooh these flowery shorts!" Ellie offered
"Nahh, too girly"
I finally chose to wear my black leather skater skirt, plain red crop top and my black cut out buckled boots. I kept my hair down like earlier and applied dark red lipstick and had smokey eyes. Once I was pleased with my appearance my friends left and I sat and waited. Frank had text me earlier to say he would pick me up at 10, now all I had to do was sit and wait. Joan our housekeeper sat with me in the main living room and gave me a vodka and lemonade to calm my nerves, God I love that woman. I was just thankful that my dad way away in New York for a few days on business. Lights appeared coming up the driveway, I sank my drink, gave myself another once over and kissed Joan on the cheek
"Have fun sweetheart!"
"I will Joan, thanks!"
I stepped onto the porch closing the door behind me as Frank was walking up the steps, he stopped dead in his tracks and looked at me from head to toe.
"Wow, Izzy...You look...stunning." I was blushing like mad but tried to keep my cool
"Thanks Frank, you scrub up well yourself!" he lead me to his red road runner and opened the door for me like the perfect gentleman. The car ride was a little awkward, but I was sure it would lift once we got there.

As we walked into the bar Frank took me by the hand, it gave me goosebumps throughout my entire body.
"Hey Frank, haven't seen you here in a while! who's this you brought?"
"Hey Dave, this is Izzy"
"Oh Izzy eh? You better keep a hold of this one tight, he's a keeper!" the bouncer said ruffling Franks hair, i laughed at how embarrassed he got and how he frantically tried to fix his hair.
"Thanks man" Frank said sarcastically, "So, who's playin tonight?"
"The swinging lovers and 3 daft monkeys"
"Ah cool, well we'll see you in there, later man"
"Have a good one!"
Frank lead us straight to the bar.
"What's your poison?" he asked me with a smirk
"vodka and lemonade please"
"Oh hardcore, nice choice!"
He ordered my drink and got himself a beer, then he lead us through the relatively empty bar to a cosy corner table.
"Don't worry, this place really picks up once the bands start playin, which should be in half an hour." I took his word for it

The bar was quiet enough for us to talk which allowed us to loosen up. I was so busy just talking with Frank, he made me feel like the only person in the room, It wasn't until the band started playing that I noticed the bar was pretty much full now. The Swinging lovers had only played 2 songs when Frank excused himself briefly and came back within minutes, he wasn't gone lone enough to have used to toilet and he definitely didn't get a drink considering he returned empty handed. He did however have an extremely cute but mischievous look on his face.
"This next song is for Izzy, from Frank. I better see you guys out on this dance floor!"
That's when a guitar riff that I recognised began to play, Frank stood up and extended his hand when the trumpets kicked in. The band was playing Soul man by the Blues Brothers, I smiled, took his hand and we danced. We spent the whole night dancing, laughing and smoking, I was a little bit tipsy but Frank stayed sober only having 2 beers because he was driving. The final song they played was Be my baby - the Ronnettes one of my all time favorite songs, turns out it's one of Franks favorites as well. We slow danced and sang along, during the instrumental he whispered into my ear "I've never seen anyone look so beautiful" then he sang the rest of the lyrics into my ear quite seductively, "so come on please be my little baby, say you'll be my darling, be my baby now..." then he moved his mouth from my ear and looked dead in my eyes. I felt as if my legs were about to buckle from beneath me. He slowly eased in closer, I closed my eyes and we kissed. It was soft and perfect. The bar closed, Frank drove me home, walked me to my door and gave me a goodnight kiss like a gentleman. It's safe to say I was on cloud 9!

Franks POV
I was so fucking nervous for our date, I must have smoked at least 5 cigarettes in the car journey to her house which can I add is more like a mansion. I drove my old rusty road runner up her long driveway feeling unworthy but I couldn't let this get to me. As I walked to her porch I saw her standing there, her beauty froze me on the spot, I studied her up and down with my mouth open wide. Her legs looked so smooth, her tits were sitting perky and a small area of her flat stomach was exposed. I just wanted to have my way with her right then and there but I liked her so much I knew it would be better to wait, plus she's not like the other girls, Izzy is the type of girl you fall in love with; not do and dash.

The car ride was a little awkward but I kept stealing glances at her, she looked so sexy in my passenger seat, I could get used to driving around with her next to me. When we got to the bar, Dave the bouncer i know just had to go ahead and embarrass me but it seemed to make her laugh and Lord knows I love seeing her smile. The awkwardness lifted pretty quickly thankfully and then I had an idea. I excused myself and ran over to Dave asked him to do me a massive favor and get the band to play anything by the Blues Brothers from me to Izzy, they chose Soul man which I was sweet with, it's one of my favorite songs, she seemed to enjoy it, i personally thought that it was a pretty smooth way to get her to dance with me. When we went outside to smoke i'd give her my jacket to keep her warm, she looked fucking good in that too. I swear this girl could wear a bin bag and still look hot. The last song was be my baby by the Ronnettes, she was so excited when the intro began I think she loves it almost as much as I do. As we slow danced I held her tighter and whispered in her ear; "I've never seen anyone look so beautiful" then I sung the rest of the lyrics as romantically as possible, "so come on please be my little baby, say you'll be my darling, be my baby now..." I don't think she realized I really meant the lyric. From here on in, that's gonna be our song. I finally plucked up the courage to do what I was so desperate to do all night - kiss her. It was half 1 in the morning by the time I got her home, I really didn't want this night to end, I wanted to just keep driving to the end of time with her next to me. I gave her a kiss goodnight, this kiss lasted much longer and got me a little excited downstairs if you get my drift so I ended this perfect kiss out of sheer embarrassment, I didn't want her to feel my hard dick against her body, she'd probably be disgusted by me.
I drove home and didn't sleep a wink that night, I lay awake with a stupid grin on my face replaying the entire night over and over again.
