Casey's POV

I widened my eyes as soon as I read his message. He was here, outside my door!

I quickly brushed my fingers through my hair and straightened my t-shirt. I checked my reflection in the mirror and ran down only to hear my brother call out.

"Cass your friend is at the door! The one with the weird glasses"

I mentally kicked his ass and promised to take revenge later. I pushed him aside from the door and smiled at Nate. He looked cute as always. His glasses slightly crooked, a small grin on his face. A slightly loose t-shirt and jeans and his famous vans.

"I'll see you guys later" I called inside the house and shut the door. I turned to Nate and pulled him in a tight hug.

"Ouch, you're choking me Casey" he said in a strained voice causing me to release him.

"Do you choke people you like?" he asked, humor twinkling in his eyes.

I hit his arm and glared playfully, "Do you plan on leaving my porch?" I asked.

"Yeah sure, let's go!" he said and held out his hand. I smiled at the simple gesture and placed my hand in his.

"I'm so happy today" Nate said, causing me to grin from ear to ear

We strolled down the road, swinging our hands between us like five year olds. But I hadn't felt this happy since Emily was with me. Sure I had friends before Nate, but no one like Nate. Artie teased me about rejecting almost every guy that asked me out. But until I met Nate, no one felt worth talking to or spending my time with. With Nate, I felt almost peaceful, happy.

We stopped infront of the local ice-cream shop 'Baskin Robins'. He held the door open and I stepped in. He smiled at the old man behind the counter.

"Hello Mr. Sawyer" he said. I loved his voice.

He turned to me and said, "This is Casey" and gestured to the smiling old man and said "Casey, this is Mr. Sawyer"

"Oh the famous Casey! So glad to finally meet you" he said extending his hand,"Nate here never stops talking about you. His sister and I get tired listening when they come every Wednesday"

I laughed when I saw Nate's cheeks turn pink. "Aw Nate, you talk about me?" I said while laughing.

He rolled his eyes, "This old man can't keep anything in, can we have ice-cream already?" he said causing Mr.Sawyer and me to laugh even more.

"Okay okay Nate, you want your regular, and for Casey what you told me earlier?" Nate nodded and turned to me, "I hope you don't mind, I've ordered for you"

"Oh thats fine" I said smiling.

"Okay then lets go sit" he said dragging me to a window seat.

"You really love ice-cream don't you?" I asked once we were seated.

"What can I say? It's my guilty pleasure" he said with a grin.

"And you spoil your sister too!"

"Hey she likes it as much as I do!" he said.

Mr. Sawyer appeared with two bowls of ice-cream. He placed a large chocolate ice-cream with what looked like Oreo, infront of Nate and then placed an elongated bowl infront of me. I looked down curious to see what had Nate ordered for me and gasped.

It was topped with caramel causing it to look almost black and on it, looking like stars, there were sparkles aligned to form the words:

Be my girlfriend?

I smiled the widest smile ever and nodded furiously, not able to form words.

Finally when I stared at the ice-cream enough, I looked at him and said, "Thank you so much Nate! This is lovely."

His nervous look finally broke into a grin and Mr. Sawyer clapped his hands and did a happy dance. We all burst out laughing.

He walked me home once we were done with ice-cream.

"So I'll see you tomorrow? In the library?" he asked me when we were at my door.

"Sure" I said. He smiled, then hesitation crossed his face for a second before he shook his head, leaned and placed the lightest kiss on my lips.

"Bye" he said his cheeks already turning pink and I smiled and touched my lips and saw his retreating figure.

I turned to the door and felt my phone buzz in my pocket.

Nate: I miss you already :(

Casey: I miss you too.Well we can always text :)
