~Richard Clarke~

I am way to excited. Even though me and Julia aren't a 'thing' yet. I hope after a few dates together we can be.

It's 7:30. I should probably get going since she lives 30 minutes away.

I hopped in my car and started driving to her house. By the time I pulled up it was almost 8. I saw one of the curtains move, she must see my car. About a minute later I saw her walk out of the house.

She. Looks. Perfect.

She was wearing midnight blue dress that ended close to her ankles with sparkling black flats and her shiny dark brown hair was cascading down to her mid back. She hopped in the car.

"You look A-MAZ-ING." I said while making eye contact. She blushed.

"You look good to Rich."

"So...... Where are we going?" She questioned.

"It's a surprise." I replied smirking.

"I like surprises."

"Cool." We fell into a painfully awkward silence.

"...."

"...."

~Julia Carter~ -at the surprise place-

"We're here!" Richard jumped out of the car and came around to my side. He pulled open the door like gentleman.

"Thank you." I said blushing as he took my hand. I blush way to much.

"Wow." I looked ahead of me to see a very fancy looking restaurant. As we came through the door I saw how it was decorated like some sort of Italian restaurant.

"Welcome, do you two have a reservation?" A man in a black tux asked.

"Yes it's under the name Richard Clarke." Richard told the host.

"Hold on, are you THE Richard Clarke?" He host asked in surprise.

"Keep it down, and yes." He whispered to the host.

"Okay, your table is right this way." The host gestured for us to follow him. After a lot of twist and turns we were led to a table by the window.

"Thank you." Richard told the host.

"Your most welcome." The host walked away.

"Ok spill it." I told Richard.

"Spill what?" He asked me clueless to what I meant.

"Who are you Richard?"

"Fine, I own a little business called 'Clarke's Jewelry'." He stated.

"Your the one who owns Clarke's Jewelry?" I asked very surprised.

"So I assume you've heard about me?" He asked truly surprised.

"Yes, you see my brother owns 'Carter Diamonds' and let's just say he doesn't really like you that much." I told him trying to be as calm as possible.

"You have a brother?" He questioned.

"And a sister, but she's still in high school." It was silent for a moment.

How could I have not made the connection. I feel stupid now. Oh well. I'm not going to let my brother get in the way of this.

"I'm going to go visit my family tomorrow, would you like to come?" If I ever have a chance of being with Richard I need my brother to like him.

"Oh....uh.... Ok." He replied nervously.

"Great! I'm sure they'll love you." I happily reassured him.

As the night went on we got less nervous and started talking, joking, having those cute little moments I'm sure I'll treasure forever. Then a girl came up to our table.

"Your Richard Clarke right." The girl asked Richard.

"Yes, why?" He looked confused.

"I was wondering if I could take a picture with you?" She asked blushing slightly.

"Uh....ok." He said nervously looking at me. I nodded at him. She pulled out her phone and took the picture.

"Thank you!" She happily walked away.

"You ready to go?" He asked me.

"Yeah."

-at Julia's House-

"Thank you Richard, I had fun tonight."

"Me too...." He replied smiling that heart stopping smile.

"So I was wondering if before I go to meet you family, if we could be a.....a uh......" He scratched the back of his head as if looking for the right word.

"Ok. I'll be your girlfriend." I said straightforwardly.

"Thank you, I was so nervous you were gonna say no and....." His words trailed off to silence.

"I'll see you tomorrow Richard." I got up on my tiptoes to peck him on the cheek. He started blushing.

"S-see you tomorrow."

I stepped through the door of my house. I threw myself on the couch.

Oh what a wonderful day.
