“Yeah, sure.” She was surprised that he wanted to do it himself. She assumed he didn’t know how to do hair, and that was only because he’s a guy. That’s what you get for submitting to your gender bias, she thought.
She goes over to the mirror. A nicely done, aesthetic messy bun. “Cute. Where’d you learn to do hair?” She asked, walking back over to him.
“Oh. Well, it’s good. Thanks.” She said, internally kicking herself. “I’m not usually very good at doing buns. They always end up sticking up,” she held her hand above her head to show the height at which they sat, “and it just looks dumb.”
“Oh, no, it definitely is,” she laughs. “Maybe you can teach me how to do it better someday.”
(Do you remember what they were gonna do?)
(Probs, I mean that sounds about right.)
“Uh…about.” She darted into the bathroom, fixed up her makeup as fast as possible, then walked back out. “Now I’m ready.” She smiled at him as she made her way to the door.
They arrived at the cars. “Do you wanna just take my car?” She asked, almost impying that she wanted them to have to come back later.
“Great.” She hopped into the driver’s seat, buckling up, and turning the keys in the ignition.
“I picked last time; you pick.” She insisted. “Also, I don’t know. So you have to.”
“Mm, what are you in the mood for? Italian, Mexican, something Asain…?”
“How about pizza? There’s this great New York style place I know. It’s pretty good pizza, with the quaintness of a family-owned joint.” She suggested, realizing she sounded a little bit like an advertisement.
“What? I would never!” She joked back, laughing. “But for real: it’s good stuff.”
“Deal.” She made a turn to get onto a road that would take them there. She turned in the radio, switching a few stations until she caught the familiar sound of a song. She let it play, looking over at Jack in the seat next to hers.
The way that the sunlight lit his face, his hair, the way it reflected of his eyes, making them look like their own stars…she just couldn’t get enough of it. She remembered that she was driving and needed to focus. She looked back at the road. Instead she listening to him hum the melody of the song.
