I look in the mirror. I look... I look good. But I have to leave tomorrow. Me and Thomas got our date canceled and went the next day because we had to model. Then I remember the talk that we had about him asking me to be his girlfriend on the second date. What if he asks? what do I tell him? And I have to leave for uni and he has to go back to London! Would we make a long-distance relationship work? Relax, I don't think he will ask. He knows that we have to go separate ways.

My outfit ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - I did not bring the octopus. 

I hear the doorbell ring. I open the door to see Ben.

- Hey, I'm your driver! - B

- What do you mean? - V

- It means, I'm driving you to your date! - B


We have been driving for 30 minutes now. We arrive t an abandoned building, but it is super cute, it has wines all over its walls and a few cracks. Ben shows me where to go and leaves. I walk around the building to find a beautiful garden. In the middle, there is a bench and I see Thomas sitting on it. I walk to the bench and sit next to him. He wraps his arms around me.

- You look gorgeous yet again. - T

I smile and kiss him on the cheek, he turns to me and looks at my lips. I know he wants to kiss me, and he knows that I know. But still, in a teasing way, I turn around to look at the setting sun. He groans and turns my head back to him. He gently kisses me. Then he stands up and gives me his hand. He leads me to a path in the forest. He walks backward not leaving my eyes with his. We and up in a mini grass field. There's a lake at the back. He leads me to blanked on the grass. We sit down and chat, then he brings out snacks and we eat. We have been talking for about an hour. And my head ended up on his lap. He looks down at me and says:

- Violet, will you be my girlfriend? - T

- Thomas...- I say sitting back up from his lap.

- I know you have to go back to New York and I have to go back to London. I also know that you don't think that long-distance relationships last, but can we try to prove you wrong? - T

- Yes, prove me wrong. - V

He kisses me and then hands me a notebook. I open the first page and I see something written in french. I'm surprised but since I know french I translate it out loud:

„ I was thinking, we could have a schedule when are we free to talk. We could talk and FaceTime every day! And then I found the „Friendship laps", you know the ones that you can speak with by colors? Yes, that ones, If you said yes, that means after our date the first thing I will do is order them. And I already have the colors set up, when you open the next page you will see my schedule, then an empty page - that's where your schedule goes. And on the next page the colors and their meaning. If you said yes, then you don't know how happy I am!"
