The Boy Next Door

promise? promise.

I changed into sweatpants and washed my face then got cozy in Blake's hoodie and fell asleep. When I woke up the sun was shining brightly right into my eyes. I rolled off my bed which made a THUNK causing Stacy to run upstairs.

"You alright?"

"Terrific" I said, giving her a thumbs up.

"Waffles are downstairs for you. Blake's mom said yes by the way. You can "learn" to surf tomorrow," she said making air quotes.

"Perfect, thanks."

I washed my face and walked downstairs to eat my waffles. I added whipped cream and strawberries so they were the perfect waffles. I grabbed a fork and a knife and basically inhaled them but then I got a text. It was from Blake.

Blake: So excited to see you tmrw! You're gonna be an amazing surfer when im done with you ;)

Me: Yeah right, but im excited to see you too

Blake: Gtg, enjoy your waffles

Me: what?

Blake: I can see your kitchen through my window, your tangled hair is so hot

Me: I JUST woke up! Cut me some slack

Blake: just teasing, see you tomorrow <3

I spent the day at the community pool and came back looking like a lobster. I swear I was the color of an actual tomato, I'm not kidding.
I jumped into the scalding hot shower to lessen the burn and followed that up with lots of aloe. My burn turned into a cute tan by the end of the day, but I still got no sleep because I was so excited to see Blake.

I woke up at 8 and changed into my swimsuit but then threw on a tank top and shorts, just incase we weren't swimming. I heard a knock and ran downstairs.

"Hi!" I hugged Blake

"Well hello to you too. Ready to go surf?" When he said surf he did air quotes

"Let's go!"

We got into the Tesla and arrived at a small cafe. It was a light pink with tons of bright colors and the furniture was all white. It honestly looked like a preppy threw up inside of it, but it was still adorable. Blake opened the door for me and we sat down on the humongous couch.

"Why are we here?" I asked susp

"Well, I assume you didn't eat and they have really good food here so I thought I'd treat my girl to a little cafe date."

"Oh my god you just got ten times hotter in one sentence"

"I was already hot to begin with"

"True but I love food"

"I know" he chuckled, "that's why I brought you here!"

I gave him a little kiss and then looked at the menu, I ended up deciding on strawberry French toast and it was bomb.

"So where are we going next?"

"My friend's house, they're out of town and said we could use it."

"For what" I asked, suspicious of him.

"I can't say."

"You aren't gonna kill me, are you?"

"You'll like it"

"Okay..."

We pulled up and this house was huge. That made me feel a little more at ease with the whole killing thing. Once again, Blake opened my door and led me into the house.

"So what are we doing?"

"Whatever you want! I set up a bunch of movies or there's a trampoline or a pool"
