Out tonight ((RP for innocent_touch and family))
The address Nessie had given him ended up being for a location on the outskirts of Albany, which was saying something in a city as small as it was. Drew kept a firm grip on the wheel of his Saturn VUE as he navigated the winding path to the Cullens' house. He'd made sure to get it washed before he picked Nessie up for their date. His car wasn't fancy, but it was new-- one of the few things his parents had okayed him using his book money for, most of the rest going into trust and college funds.
Putting the car into park, Drew let out a breath as he saw the house. It was a huge affair, as houses in this area went, probably at least three times the size of his own. There were a lot of windows, he noticed, something unusual in a place with their weather. Drew also noted that the place looked really expensive. Apparently, Dr. Cullen's practice was booming. Or had been, back in Washington.
Which kept begging the question as to why they'd moved to New Hampshire.
Drew opened the passenger side door and pulled out the bunch of flowers he'd picked up on the way. It was a last minute idea, but his mother had pointed out it was good manners to bring a gift for the lady of the house. He just hoped Nessie's mother liked lilies.
He still couldn't quite believe he was here. He'd met Nessie Cullen just that morning, had talked to her during lunch and before they'd known each other a few hours, he basically asked her out. He'd gotten a few odd texts and e-mails since school had let out, but Drew had been too busy writing to return any of them to figure out what was going on. In any case, he knew people had noticed, and so tongues were going to wag.
Damn. He really didn't want to have to start apologizing to Nessie for anything.
Climbing the stairs, Drew took a deep breath and pushed the doorbell.
