I walked outside to see devante standing outside his Jeep

Me: hi devante
Devante: hi Janet these are for you
Me: aww thank you

He gave me flowers he's making me blush.

I got in his car to see where was we going for the night

The radio was playing...

" now on power.105.1 here is shai's if I ever fall in love "

I felt good when that song started

He smelt so good OMG!

Two hours:

Me and devante was walking in the park talking about life. The light we're super bright and made my night

Devante: so tell me about yourself
Me: well I'm 17 I work at a neighborhood grocery store, I take care of myself and that's mostly everything
Devante: that's cool. You know you are so beautiful
Me: oh devante your making me blush
Devante: you are! Every minute I'm alone I'm always thinking of you
Me: same with me. I think your a nice handsome guy the first time I saw you I had to have you
Devante : there's something I been meaning to ask you
Me: yes
Devante: I want you to my girlfriend
Me: are you serious? Cause I want you be my boyfriend
Devante: I guess we we're thinking the same thing

Me and devante started kissing it felt like the Fourth of July. I love him so much I'm glad he asked me to his girlfriend

Devante: well we better get going it's getting late
Me: ok

Devante was dropping me off home

One hour later:

Devante: janet I want you to come spend the night with me at my house you down?
Me: i don't mind at all
Devante: cool I'll call you tomorrow baby
Me: bye

As I walking I was looking up at the sky I had to finally EXHALE I got the man of my dreams I know he's the one for me and only me!
