Alison's P.O.V.
Everything's been good with Edward. We hangout a lot and sometimes, we flirt. Even thought we are boyfriend and girlfriend, our hangouts are friendly. We never went on another date again. We treat each other like friends and both of us are okay with that.
I like Edward a lot especially when he acts like a sweetheart. He always compliments me and acts like a gentleman. Whenever I'm sad, he tried his best to make me feel better and he won't stop trying until I'm better even if I punch him away. He loves calling me 'perfectly imperfect' and I blush everytime he calls me that. I hangout with his friends more and it's turns out that they are actually pretty nice except Sophia. We have a lot in common and we have a lot of things to talk about. Sophia and I have not been in good terms. Every time I go there, she gives me a nasty glare and ignores me everytime. Edward has been distant with her too probably because of what happened before.
I also have been good with my academics. I'm probably the only person who loves school and sad when school ends. Things are starting to fall in place and I could start to sort out my future. I hope to become a musician one day and start to my own music school.
Today, Edward is taking me to a diner. I feel weird because I've never been in one. I know that's it a little crazy that I haven't went in a diner yet but because in my old town, I was scared of the world and I didn't really leave my house a lot. I wasn't as confident as the person I am now. Anyways, he said that a diner is retro-themed and I love the 50's. It was Elvis Presley's time and he made some really good music.
I wore something decent but casual at the same time. It looks similar to what I wore on my previous date with Edward. We went inside while holding hands. We get a little bit of stares from people that also go to our school. We are the 'it' couple of our school so when we do something romantic, we get stares and reactions from everyone. When Edward puts his arm around me, people take pictures and post it on social media.
We sat down on a table that's near a window. I could see that it's starting to drizzle and hopefully, the rain stops when we finish. I love the sound of nature, the way the rain splashes in the ground is peaceful. A waitress comes to our table to take our orders.
"Welcome to Milkshake Madness. I'm your waitress, Rebecca. So are you ready to order?" She asked. I'm happy that she isn't like other waitresses that try to flirt with Edward.
"Vanilla Milkshake with Chocolate Syrup and 2 straws." He said. The waitress left to give our orders and Edward grabbed my hand and looked me in the eye.
"Are you okay that I ordered milkshakes?" He asked me.
"I love milkshakes." I said in a 'duh' tone. I never went in a diner but I always drank milkshakes.
"You know why don't I call you vanilla chocolate swirl?" He asked.
"Why would you call me that?" I asked.
"Because the chocolate represent your hair and vanilla represents your skin color. It would also make you remember the first time that you went in a diner." He replied.
"Ok, I thought the nicknames cute but when you explained it, it sounded racist." I said. We both laughed a little and talked more. The waitress arrived with our drinks and left to serve other tables. This was like a movie wherein the characters would drink a milkshake with 2 straws when it's raining. So far, my life is a movie.
Edward's P.O.V.
Vanilla Chocolate Swirl. I actually like the nickname even though the explanation sounded a little racist but it's a cute nickname. The rain stopped so we decided to go home. We walked home under the stars and the lamppost giving light. This kinda looked like a movie. We were walking with are hands intertwined while listening to the sound of nature. We were in front of Alison's doorstep and we didn't speak for like 5 minutes. We were just staring at each other and it was a little awkward.
"So...... This is it." Alison said breaking the awkward silence between us.
"Umm.... Yeah. So I'll see you later, aligator." I said while saying our 'always'.
"See you in a while, crocodile." She said as she opened the door and walked away. I had a stupid smile on my face as I walked away. This was fun. I'm happy that I get to see Alison everyday. I also have a good connection with her siblings so they accept Alison and I's relationship.
I walked home and entered my room. My mom was coming hope late so she left me with a key. I took off my jacket and hanged it on my closet. I took off my shoes and my socks and threw them away. I got my guitar and started tuning it. After I tuned all the strings, I got my music notebook and started playing some chords. I like making songs when I'm alone and bored. I can't write songs if someone is watching and it's makes me uncomfortable if they judge it. I put my guitar away and drifted off to sleep with a smile on my face.
