Yesterday was amazing. But today is a new day. Nick seemed super excited last night after I got home. Apparently he planned out our day while I was gone. When I was finally ready to get up and stop living in my thoughts, I rolled out of bed. I showered and threw on a cute outfit. 

I walked out of my room and a went to go see Nick

I walked out of my room and a went to go see Nick. He was seated on the edge of his bed already dressed just scrolling through his phone. 

Y/N: Hey, If you have been ready you could have come grabbed me. 

Nick: Well I wanted you to get your beauty sleep. There isn't much of a rush today. No reservation or anything. Just winging it. 

I knew that wasn't true, but I went with it. If he wanted to act like everything we do today was winged then I'm not gonna stop him. 

Y/N: Okay. Then what should we start with?

Nick: How about walking on the beach?

See, definitely planned. 

Y/N: Sounds like a plan. What about breakfast?

Nick: I can whip up some eggs for you if you want.

Y/N: Yeah sure. 

We walked into the kitchen and he made some eggs and put them in a burrito. The then wrapped it up nicely in a paper towel so I could take it on the go. He called for an Uber to come pick us up. The drive was only about ten minutes long. 

When we got to the beach, we both took off our shoes and went to where the water meets the sand. We held hands and just walked the shore line. I was so peaceful. We actually ended up having some pretty deep conversations. Hope, dreams, fears, past history and much more. Nick really opened up to me, it was nice. It made me open up more too. 

Once our conversation died out, Nicked checked the tie on his phone. Then he pulled up some link on google. 

Nick: Hey, what if we did this?

He showed me his phone. The link led to a website that held painting sections. There was one in about 20 minutes that was of a Safari scene. 

Y/N: A painting class?!

Nick: What a coincidence that its in 20 minutes and we are only 5 minutes away. 

Y/N: What a coincidence.

Nick: Soooo, wanna go?

Y/N: Absolutely! 

 We walked off of the beach and threw out shoes back on. The walk wasn't too bad. Nick just kept making corny jokes to make me laugh. When we arrived at the place, Nick went in and told me to wait outside. That definitely means he made a reservation. He thinks hes slick. Finally, hw come back out.

Nick: Alright, I got us a spot.

Y/N: Alrighty.

We walked inside and it was amazing. There was only a handful of people. I was beyond excited to get started. 

We sat down and ordered a glass of wine to sip on

We sat down and ordered a glass of wine to sip on. While we waited for the teacher, we checked out the materials that were placed in front of us. There were paint brushes, paper plates, paper towels, glasses of water, and of course the canvases. 

Out of no where the front door swung open and made a loud creek. Every one shot their heads towards the door to see a young lady walk in. 

Amber: Hello everyone! So sorry that I am a bit behind! My name is Amber Bowen and I will be your instructor for this class. 

I noticed that Nick hadn't taken his eyes off of her since she entered the room. I'm not gonna lie, Amber was beautiful. But Nick was supposed to be out with me. To snap Nick out of his "trance" or what ever the hell he was doing, I put a little bit of paint on his noise. He whipped his head to me after. 

Nick: Did you just?

Y/N: I don't know what you're talking about. 

Nick started to giggle and kept his eyes focused on me. I maintained the eye contact and then went in for a quick kiss. He began to blush and his smile grew even more. I knew I got his attention back. 

After around 10 minutes of instruction. Ms. Bowen let us free style a bit on the sky. She would make her way around the room helping out who ever needed it. When she reached me and Nick, she would hang around longer than the other even though we didn't need (or want) any help. 

Amber: Great job you two! Do you do this often?

Y/N: I do but he doesn't. We are on a date right now and this is where he took me. 

Amber: Oh I see. That's really sweet of you....

Nick: Nick. The names Nick. 

Amber: Well, Its a pleasure to meet you Nick.

Nick: Thank you Ms. Bowen.

Amber: Please, call me Amber. You can too...

Y/N: Y/N is my name. 

Amber: Right. Well I need to give some more instruction now. Hope you enjoy the class. 

Throughout the class, Amber kept looking at Nick. But he was too focused on me to notice. As soon as the class was over, I grabbed our canvases and walked out of that building. nick followed closely behind. 

Nick: Did you enjoy it?

Y/N: For the most part. Was that all you had planned for today. 

Nick: Well, since it is 4, we can make our way back home and I will cook you dinner. Then we can cuddle and watch a movie. 

Y/N: Home made breakfast, the beach, an art class, home made dinner, AND cuddles? Sounds like the perfect day to me. 

Nick: Then let me call an Uber real quick and get to it. 

It only took the driver a few minutes to show up. Since the car ride was pretty short, we just stayed in silence so we didn't bug the driver. When we arrived, I flopped on the couch and turned on some tunes. I danced around while Nick made dinner. 

After we ate, We turned on the Notebook and cuddled up together. Today was absolutely amazing. Who knew these boys were so good at setting up dates. 

I was dreading school tomorrow, but I knew that I got to end it with my childhood crush.
