The Perfect Date

The one and probably only part

I was in the hallway at school. I went to my locker and I grabbed my books for my last class of the day. This cute boy came up to me and asked me if I wanted to go on a date with him. I said yes of course.

This man was FINE and I had grown a liking for him. We had never talked much but we always had similar taste in music and opinions on stuff.

Teachers had always put us together for projects and he always made me feel really smart and he told me I was funny a few times. I did like this boy so I was ecstatic that he had asked me out.

It was Friday. My parents trusted me to stay out as late as I wanted to. He told me he would pick me up at 6. I got dressed for the night. I absolutely despised dresses and he knew that. My parents knew this boy as well and they thought he was respectful and responsible, so they were fine when I told them who I was going out with. I put on a shirt some leggings and a necklace. When he got at my house, I told my parents goodbye and I grabbed my wallet and phone. He was driving a pickup truck that was a cyan color.

He wasn't dressed up either, he had a hoodie on and jeans. I asked where we were going and he said my favorite restaurant. We had talked a few times and talked about random stuff a lot. He asked me what my favorite restaurant was the last time we talked, smooth.

He looked over at me and smiled. I looked back and had the biggest grin on my face that I have ever had. This man put on his favorite song. Which somehow was one of my favorites... I never told him what my favorite song was. We had too much in common it was scary. I loved this kid, but I couldn't say that. We weren't that that close. The rest of the ride we just hummed along to the song.

When we arrived to the restaurant. I was so excited it had been forever. I went to open my door but he stopped me. He got out and opened my door and said "After you my lady." We both laughed. He even got my sense of humor. I don't know how he was so perfect but he was. He did the same thing at the restaurant door and the butterflies started up in my stomach.

He got us a table and when time came to order drinks and food he said what he wanted and said what I wanted. "You told me your favorite drink and meal from this place, I hope that it hasn't changed." He said. The butterflies intensified. "No no it's amazing that you payed attention to me that much." I say baffled at how amazing this dude is.

When the food comes he watches me eat and I watch him. For no reason when we made eye contact we both started laughing and I almost choked. He immediately stopped laughing and made sure I was okay. I was of course. The fact that he cared was what made me happiest. Once we finished he asked if I wanted dessert and I would never turn my favorite desert down either. He ordered it, he knew it. He is a keeper.

Once we finished sharing our dessert, it was a little after 7. He insisted on getting the bill, but so did I. Eventually he won the argument and said to me, "I won't let you pay for any of our dates. We can share a bill but never will I let you alone pay." His voice was soft and I absolutely loved everything about him. He payed the bill and we left.

He turned on music, and I started singing quietly along with it. He looked over at me and started singing normally. While he was singing he kept glancing over to me, I decided I might as well sing louder to match him. We both just sing. I didn't even notice until about 30 minutes later he wasn't driving towards my house. When I asked where we were going he refused to tell me. I trusted him.

After another 10 minutes of singing he parks his car on the side of the road and throws a bandanna at me. "What's this for?" I asked "You need to be blindfolded silly." He says chuckling a little bit. I put the blindfold on and I hear my door open. I step outside and I feel his hands on my shoulders. He walks me a couple steps forward then picks me up out of no where. He's walking with me in his arms for about 2 minutes. Then he puts me down on the ground and tells me to take the blindfold off.

I do as he tells me and my jaw drops. He brought me to a large hill where you can see the whole city from. The sun is slowly setting and the sky is full of pink and orange. I stare into his soft eyes and he stares back into mine. This day couldn't get any better. He sits down and I follow. We are sitting there and he puts his arm around me. I lean into him and rest my head on his shoulder. We sit there watching as the pink and orange slowly disappears. We stare out over the city with the only sound is of us breathing.

Time feels like it's frozen and before I know it, it's already 10. It's silent and he looks over at me. I'm slightly shivering and he hands me his hoodie. "I brought a spare." He says "You always wear them in school I thought you might want one." I take it from him and put it on, then immediately go back to leaning on him. He turns towards me. "Hey I had a lot of fun tonight with you. Would you like to go on another date with me sometime?" He asks a little nervously. "Of course I will! You would be an idiot if you thought I would say no." I say, smiling. "Perfect." He says. "Is there also a chance you would like to be my girlfriend?" He asks me. The butterflies in my stomach are at maximum "Of course. I love you." The last part slips out of my mouth.

The world is dead silent. "I-I'm sorry I didnt mean to say that." I say. "N-no." He says, "It's okay. I-I love you too." He says. I am beaming and I loved every second of that night.
