I stand there frozen in place trying to comprehend what just happened.

I'm brought back to the world when I feel a hand ruffling with my hair.

"You forgive me?" He asks.

"Hold on let me process what just happened." I say still in shock.

I see him smile.

"You're cute."

"And I'm older then you." I say.

"So?"

"Don't call me cute." I say

"Whatever." He says while pulling my head onto his shoulder.

How can he just do these things so easily?! I question to myself.

I lay there with my head on his shoulder for awhile not saying anything, the only thing I can hear is our heartbeats syncing.

"Hey, so.." I start to say.

"Yeah?" He says

"I was just curious and stuff, and I don't want to get the wrong idea but what are we?" I ask quickly before I regret saying anything.

"Well what to you want us to be?" He asks.

I sit there trying to think of something to say.

I can feel his stare on me which makes me feel nervous for some reason.

"Well, if you have the same mindset as I do I'm serious about this and I don't want us to just be friends." I say.

"Well then consider this our first date." He says.

I cough out of shock.

"Hm?" I say making sure I heard that right.

"Consider this our first date." He says while ruffling with my hair.

I can't help but go red at his gesture.

"I must've saved billions of life's in my past life." I say.

I hear him laugh and I sigh.

"I'm sorry, I didn't get you anything." I say out of guilt thinking of the fact that he got me a gift.

"You didn't have too, you just being here makes up for it." He says.

"God, you're so cheesy." I say.

Before he says anything I hear his phone ring.

"Hello?" I hear him say.

"Okay, I'll be there in 10."

"Yep bye."

He looks at me with a saddened look.

"Hey, I'm sorry that was my brother he said that he wants to see me so he told me to go home." He says.

Although I'm said this moment can't last any longer I just say,

"That's okay."

"Hey, but I'll make it up to you kay?" He says.

"Okay, but.. how?" I ask curiously.

"We can go on another date." He says.

"Okay, but nothing too fancy okay?" I say.

"What do you mean by that?" He asks confused.

"I'd rather eat pizza and drink soda at home than go to a fancy restaurant." I say.

I see him smile as he says,

"Sounds good, next time it'll be simple." He says while holding out his pinky gesturing me to make a promise with him, which I do.

We walk to our cars and with that my valentines day is basically over.
