As soon as I got home, I went straight upstairs and got a shower before doing my hair. I simply curled it and put it over my left shoulder. I then added some makeup, just some mascara, eye shadow and lip gloss. Then I got ready. I was wearing a black dress that went up to mid thigh with slightly puffy sleeves at the shoulders. The back of the dress was joined together under my shoulder blades my a diamond looking strap.

It was the dress Jake bought me for my 21st birthday. My last birthday before he went. I guess it just meant so much to me. I sprayed some of my perfume before making my way downstairs to wait for Aston coming. I was SO nervous, I hadn't been on a date with someone who wasn't Jake. Just thinking about him made me upset, but I couldn't let that bring me down, It wasn't fair on Aston! I grabbed my bag and threw my phone and purse in along with some lip gloss just in case. I kept my keys out so I could lock the house up. Just as I was about to walk back into the living room the door bell went meaning Aston was here. I walked to the door and opened it to reveal him stood there on the door step grinning away. 

He was wearing black jeanes with a white and black checkered shirt along with a white vest that was visible under the shirt.

Gotta admit, he looked hot!

"W..w..wow," he stuttered looking at me. "You look gorgeous" he grinned.

"Aw, thank you, you don't look to bad yourself." I winked.

"Cheeky one you, I like it." he smirked.

I locked the door before we made our way to Aston's car.

"So, where we going?" I smiled.

"I'm not telling you." he smirked.

"Aww, no, please tell me."

"Nope, you'll have to wait." he winked.

"But I hate surprises." I laughed.

"Oh well." he chuckled. 

We soon pulled up outside an extremely posh and expensive looking restaurant.

"Oh my god, Ast, here? really?" I gasped looking at it.

"Yes, now come on, let's eat." he grinned grabbing my hand and taking me in.

We entered an amazing yet romantic looking room. The whole front wall was cut out so it was just a window over looking the buildings opposite. 

"Wow," I gasped looking around. Aston led me over to a table, right beside the window so It was over-looking the whole of London. "This is gorgeous." I gasped sitting down as well as Aston.

"Like you." he winked.

"You're making me blush." I giggled, my cheeks flushing red.

We finished our meal which was gorgeous.

"Do you want a drink?" he smiled.

"Yeah, go on." I smiled back as he ordered some champagne.

"Woah, champagne?" I giggled.

"Yup, the best for you Alexis" he smiled.

The waiter soon brought us the champagne as we spent a while longer drinking it.

"Come on, there's somewhere else I want to take you." he smiled.

We got in his car as he started driving. It was only 8 so we had a little bit of time left. We soon pulled up at the beach.

"Here we are," Ast grinned. We got out and he grabbed my hand. "You might want to take your heels off, they won't be good for walking on the sand in." he laughed.

I giggled as I let go of his hand and took my shoes off holding them in my other hand and grabbed his hand again. We walked along the beach before finding somewhere nice to sit. We were just talking when Ast brung up Jake. I knew this was going to be hard... very hard.

"What happened?" He asked.

"We were both at a club with Emily, Sophia and Cameron, Cameron's Emily's boyfriend, and we went out the back for some fresh air when this man called Ben came with his friends. He's always been jealous of the relationship me and Jake had. So he got his friends to hold a gun to him. He let us have our final words together then he shot him, straight in the chest. It was the worst thing ever. It was like my whole world fell apart." I whispered, tears slowly starting to pour down my cheeks.

"Aw babe, I'm so sorry, you can tell you loved him." he smiled pulling me into his chest.

"I did, I thought he was he one, he was my first everything, boyfriend everything, I loved him so much, but his last words to me was to find someone who can treat me right and will love me, I had to move on and smile, but never forget him, which I won't but I'm moving on like he wanted, with you, and I'm smiling." I smiled looking up at him making him smile.

"What happened with your ex?" I asked.

"We were together for about 3 months, she was a slag to be fair, short dresses all the makeup. Then she cheated on me, she had been for 2 months, I don't love her, she wasn't the one, I knew that but It hurt, It felt like I was worthless, I'd been used," he sighed. "But then I met you, and you made me happy and now I smile." he laughed.

I looked up at him as he looked down at me. He stood up and pulled me up with him before slowly wrapping his arms around my waist as I put mine around his neck. He slowly leaned in and pressed his lips onto mine. The fireworks that went through my stomach was unreal! I could feel the shivers running through my body. It was perfect. He soon pulled away grinning, but kept his arms around my waist.

"Be my girlfriend?" he smiled.

"I'd love too." I grinned as he leaned in and we kissed again on the beach in the sunset...
