Blue Moon

25-Roller Date

I feel myself being picked up and carried somewhere. 

My eyes fight to open but I am really tired. 

I end up winning though and my eyes open just as River sets me down on my bed. 

I watch through half closed eyes as he pulls the covers over me. What a guy.

"River." I say groggily and his eyes snap up to mine. 

"Sleep." he says and I shake my head. "What time is it?" I ask, not wanting to look up to my clock. 

"Late." Is all he says. I sigh as I get comfy in the bed. 

My eyes feel heavy again and I feel him kiss my forehead. 

"Wait." I say, my eyes still closed. 

"Want to hang out tomorrow?" I ask slowly opening my eyes. 

He nods, placing one last kiss on my head before leaving my room. 

The next day I hop in the shower before getting dressed. 

I decide on a pair of light wash high waisted mom jeans and a black lace spaghetti strap crop top. 

Then I lace up my doc Martens as I hear Desiree call me from the kitchen. 

"Where are you going looking like that?" She asks, a knowing smirk taking over her face. 

I look down at my shoes, "Out with River."

"What are you two going to do?" She asks curiously. 

I look up at her, "We are going rollerskating."

This morning I texted River again making sure it wasn't a dream and that he did accept my invitation to go out today. 

I asked him what he wanted to do and he said it didn't matter as long as he got to hang up with me. 

I may have almost fainted at that. 

Looking at things to do in town I decided on roller skating. I haven't gone roller skating since I was fourteen. 

I texted River and he said he was down and he'd pick me up at one o'clock in the afternoon. 

It's currently twelve forty five. 

"Ooo fun, you should pretend to not know how so he'll teach you." She says and my brows furrow. 

"Why would I do that when I know how to skate?" I ask confused. 

She sighs, "Babe you watch rom-coms, its cute when the guy teaches the girl how to play pool, play baseball, skate."

"But isn't that only when they don't know how to do those things."

She nods, "Thats why you pretend."

"Oh." I say now understanding what she means. 

She winks and I shake my head laughing. 

My phone buzzes and I see it's a text from River letting me know he's outside.

"See ya." Dez says as I leave the apartment. 

As I walk towards his car the butterflies in my stomach return. 

He is standing outside of the car beside the passenger door. 

Oh wow. 

He's wearing cuffed black jeans, a white shirt and a black and white flannel. I look down and notice his worn in chuck's he always wears.
