Blake and I were in my car, and I put on the radio. "Everything Has Changed," By Taylor Swift ft. Ed Sheeran, came on. Once the song got into the first chorus, I couldn't help but smile. The lyrics described Blake and I so perfectly, it wasn't even funny.

[Taylor Swift]
All I knew this morning when I woke
Is I know something now, know something now I didn't before.
And all I've seen since eighteen hours ago
Is green eyes and freckles in your smile
In the back of my mind making me feel right

[Taylor Swift]
I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now

[Both]
I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just wanna know you, know you, know you

[Both]
'Cause all I know is we said, "Hello."
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name
Everything has changed
All I know is you held the door
You'll be mine and I'll be yours
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed

[Ed Sheeran]
And all my walls stood tall painted blue
And I'll take them down, take them down and open up the door for you

[Taylor Swift (Album version) / Ed Sheeran (Remix version):]
And all I feel in my stomach is butterflies
The beautiful kind, making up for lost time,
[Album version:] Taking flight, making me feel right
[Remix version:] Taking flight, making me feel right like

[Both]
I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just wanna know you, know you, know you


Blake grabbed my hand, and interlaced our fingers. I took my eyes off the road for a minute, and looked over at him. He was very intently looking at our hands. I couldn't help but bite my lip. WHY DOES HE HAVE TO BE SOO CUTE?! ITS NOT FAIR! I really want to climb over, and start kissing him, but I remeber that I am driving, and that, I probably shouldn't do that. Maybe later.

[Both]
'Cause all I know is we said, "Hello."
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name
Everything has changed
All I know is you held the door
And you'll be mine and I'll be yours
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed

Come back and tell me why
I'm feeling like I've missed you all this time, oh, oh, oh.
And meet me there tonight
And let me know that it's not all in my mind.

[Taylor Swift]
I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now
I just wanna know you, know you, know you

[Both]
All I know is we said, "Hello."
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name
Everything has changed
All I know is you held the door
You'll be mine and I'll be yours
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed

[Taylor Swift]
All I know is we said, "Hello."
So dust off your highest hopes
All I know is pouring rain and everything has changed
All I know is a new found grace
All my days I'll know your face
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed

Once the song finishes, we are still holding hands. The sensation that is slowly becoming familiar, which is something that I quite love,but fear. He starts rubbing his thumb against the back of my hand, and I can't help but get shivers up my spine. I bite my lip and look into his eyes. He starts leaning in, but when our lips are about to touch, he says keep your eyes on the road. Grr.

We get out of the car, and go to the Ice cream parlor. Blake, runs over to open my door, for me, and, he reaches out his hand to assist me to the ground. I didn't need help, but how could I crush him, by rejection? By the time we get in front of the line, I realized that I forgot my purse in the car. I make an annoyed face, and grunt- so lady like of me.

Blake knows me so well. "Don't worry about it Willow, I got it."

He reaches out to get the money from his pocket, and cusses under his breath. "I only have enough for one." He says, making a worried facial expression. "Don't worry! I won't get one," I said. He chuckled.

" Willow, of course I would get you one!! What are you, crazy?!" He said with a wink, and my heart melted then, and there.

"I am crazy!" I said, returning the wink. I am a flirt too.

We ended up buying Ice cream, and we split a Vanilla one. Because, turns out we both hate chocolate ice cream. Also, he wouldn't let me not have some, and I wouldn't let him not have any either. So we just shared it. I was licking it, and enjoying it, but then Blake,out of nowhere, smashes the cone on my face.

It is everywhere. And I probably look like crap now. I don't want Blake to see me like this! agh! i start wiping it off, and he falls down laughing, in the park where we were yesterday. The ice cream shop is 2 minutes from there.

I wipe off my face, and make a puppy dog face at him. I turn around, pretending to be all sad, and he just chuckles. He leans into kiss me, so I peck his lips, but then run away. Hes always chasing me, isn't he? I like it that way, I guess. He is running after me, and we have been running for quite a while. Now, we are near a river stream. I run to it. I lean near it to wash my face, completely, and to see my reflection-basically seeing how I look.

"You're so beautiful." He stared at me through the water.

Man, I could get used to this.
