I tapped my feet anxiously. I woke up two hours earlier than I normally do, took a shower, and started thinking of what to wear.

Was it a date?

I got up and walked to my closet. I picked out a shirt, shook my head, and put it back. I sighed and slapped my face. 

What the hell am I doing? Just put on a nice outfit and get out.

It took a while but I finally put a few things together, looked at myself in the mirror for the fifth time, and headed downstairs.

My mom sat in the kitchen sipping a cup of coffee while looking at her phone and smiling. I walked up to her and she flinched a bit.

"M-mom?"

"Hey sweetie, off on your date?"

"I-Is everything ok?"

"Yes, is there a problem?"

"No, none."

She smiled and looked back at her phone. I wanted to ask her what she was doing, but I didn't know how she'd feel about it so I didn't bother. 

I wore my shoes and headed out. I tapped my phone and looked at the screen. It was still early.  9:00 am.

I guess I could ride my bicycle around for a while.

That's when I realized that Axel never gave me a place to go. Why didn't I realize that? I opened my chats and clicked on Axel

:)

You: Good morning.

Morning.

You: Were you supposed to pick me up or...are we meeting somewhere?

Oh, right. Sorry.

You: No problem at all.

We can meet up at a cafe before going to the main place.

You: Which cafe?

Jiolo cafe. Are you ok with it?

You: Yeah it's fine. It'll be a first so...

Do you know where it is?

You: Actually I don't.

😆It's on Hoko street. The first building to your left. You'll know when you see it.

You: Sounds beautiful.

Trust me, it is.

You: I'll be on my then.

You're sounding like you're ready.

You: I am actually. I just realized that I was, to be honest.

I just got up a few minutes ago. Just got out of the shower.

You: Oh...

You can check out the surroundings of the cafe though. It's really pretty.

You: Really?

Yup. I've been there a couple of times.

You: I'll keep that in mind.

Great. See you there. 

You: Yeah.
