I had a very big problem:
I had nothing to wear! Usually this wasn't a problem for me, I have a variety of clothing options, but now nothing seemed right.
I didn't even know where Everett was taking me so that made it even worse. I had dresses, but would that be too fancy? Then, I had pants and sweaters, but would that make it look like I put in no effort at all?
I'll text him! I'll just ask him where we're going and then problem solved!
To Ev<3:
Where are we going? It really important!!!
From Ev<3:
I can't tell...
Welp. I even told him it was important! It's okay, I will just pick an outfit that is good for any occasion. I've got this.
A dress WITH a sweater! I'm a genius. This should work for pretty much any place he takes me. I'm terrified, I've never been on a date before. What if I mess it all up?
I've never in my life been so very conflicted inside.
Everett should be here in about 30 minutes, which is really no time at all. I put my hair into a loose braid that falls to my lower back, and stick a flower clip in.
I decide to take some mascara from my mom's room and put that on, too. It was hard, I've never worn it before. But it makes my mom's eyes look fantastic so I gave it a go.
I hear the knock on the door. Everett's here.
I run down, not wanting to keep him waiting. When I open the door, he's there, looking handsome as ever. He's wearing a beige sweater with a matching collar underneath. He had black jeans on, and his jewelry which was my favorite. I don't think I have any rings as cool as his.
"Hi." I said. I tried my best to contain my smile, because then I would just look weird.
He looked over my outfit. "Hey, Blue. You didn't have to out- dress me like that." He smirked.
I gasped. "I didn't? You should've told me we were getting fancy!" I said. He shook his head and denied that he looked fancy. What with him and all his jewelry!
When we got to his car, he opened the door for me. I've come to appreciate his simple gestures. I love them actually.
"Where are we going, Ev?" I turned my head to him. He smiled after my question.
"I can't tell you! It's a surprise. I think you'll like it, though." He said. I sighed in exasperation. I couldn't help but look at him while he drove, it was the one time he didn't notice and make eye contact.
I noticed the little pattern of freckles he had on his cheek. And one above his eyebrow. His hair was disheveled in a way that I knew he always ran his hand through it. It looked soft and I wanted to touch it, I almost did, until I realized that would be weird.
Everett's POV:
I had a hard time not staring at her while driving. Of course I wasn't going to endanger her like that, but she looked amazing to say the least. I just wanted her. That's it. I don't know if can though.
I noticed her staring at me, but I didn't wanna embarrass her by calling her out. I've done it so many times that I can let her do it to me. For now, anyways.
"What is your dream?" I asked her.
"Well, last night-"
"No, Blue. I mean... in life." I couldn't hold back my laughter. I took a glance at her and saw her bright red cheeks.
"Oh well, I guess I want to be a vet. Maybe a librarian. Or I just wanna travel. So many things. You can be my travel buddy!" She poked my shoulder.
I held back a wince. I had just been punched there two days ago.
"I'd be honored to be your travel buddy." I said. She was cute in her planning everything so soon. She was ambitious. I couldn't help but plan out my own future, which was really only visualized with her. My little librarian.
"What about you? What do you wanna be, Ev?" She asked.
I couldn't say with her, so really I had nothing. I'd never thought about it.
"Um- I don't know, really. I hadn't thought about it." I answered.
She gave me a quizzical look, eyes squinted and lips pursed. "I can help you plan later." She finished.
I agreed because I loved that she wanted to do that. For me. When had somebody offered something like help plan what I wanted to be before?
We arrived at a stretch of flowers and grass. The flowers were sprinkled across the whole field. There was a river in the middle. I didn't think she liked anything fancy, so we were having a picnic.
I hoped she liked it.
Indigo POV:
I loved it.
I couldn't contain my excitement at the land in front of me. I'd never seen so many flowers in one place, not in real life anyway. I couldn't believe he took me here, does he know about my obsession? No, my hobby.
"Flowers are like my thing! How did you know Everett?" I asked.
"It just seemed like you would like it." He grinned.
I gave him a hug, I only reached his stomach, but a hug nonetheless. I tried to put all my gratitude in the hug. This was perfect.
"Thank you Everett. Nobody's ever really done something like this for me before."
He looked me in the eyes. He let out a short laugh. "You deserve it Blue. I thought it might not be date-worthy." He looked away.
"No. It is. Then again, I would've been fine with anything." I shrugged.
He gave me a tender smile, almost sad in a comforting way. I grabbed his hand and ran to the river. The water was remarkably clear. I ran my hands through it.
Then splashed it at Everett. I know he would want revenge so I ran. Something about me is that I'm not a very fast runner, at all.
He caught me almost immediately and took me down to the grass. He went under me so I didn't crash. I couldn't stop my laughter.
The front of his shirt was all wet. "I still win because your wet and I'm not." I poked my tongue out at him.
He smirked. "Oh really? Because I caught you and your on top of my shirt. So now you're wet too."
He was right. I huffed.
We looked at each other. His eyes staring straight at me, the ones that were dark as night, piercing right through me. I didn't think my eyes were near as captivating. Not even close.
"We should go eat, yeah?" I jumped off of him. I was actually really hungry.
"Yeah." He answered.
He led me to a spot by the river and laid out a checkered blanket. He set out the food, which looked delicious.
He said he had made it all. I was jealous, because I can't cook for my life. His homemade sushi was my favorite. Though, I was better than him at catching cherries in my mouth.
"What are you scared of?" He asked.
I looked up at him from the blanket. I was laying down and he was decorating my hair with little flowers. I laughed when they brushed my face.
"Well I guess um- being someone I'm not. I love little things that I usually don't tell anyone about so when they do find out sometimes they make fun of me for it. Make me feel dumb," I didn't want to mention the specific person I was talking about, " I guess I don't want that to stop me from anything. I still wanna love what I love no matter what somebody says. Because it's me." I say. I didn't expect to say that.
"Even if people tell you what you love is horribly horribly wrong and you'll regret it?" He asks.
"I would find out for myself. Then decide if I regret it. I'm not really being me if I'm letting other people dictate my feelings." I say.
He look down at me and smiles lightly. I reach up and put a daisy in his hair. It is indeed soft.
"What are you scared of?" I ask. He doesn't look like he's scared of anything.
"Ruining things. I always feel like I will. What do you think of that?" He looks up at the sky. The clouds are rolling in, and the sun isn't shining as bright. It's getting late.
"Don't think so much about it. After you do it, you'll come to see if you ruined this thing or not." I shrug.
"What if I don't wanna take any chances at all of ruining this thing, but I still really want it?" He asks.
"Hm, that's sounds very conflicting. But, you're not a destructive person. I don't think you could ruin anything so very horribly. So if you really want it, just try. I'm sure it won't be that big of a deal if it's ruined. Can't it be replaced?" I say.
He kind of shrugged it off, maybe a yes?
It was hard to say anything about his matter when I didn't know what he was talking about,but I liked talking with him like this.
We decided to go now, so I shook off all the flowers out of my hair, but he left his little one. Maybe he forgot about it.
This was by far the best date ever in history.
Everett's POV:
No, Blue. You can't be replaced. And you are a very massive big deal.
