In the midst of waiting for Ivy to show up I was on FaceTime with xan .

I'm convinced I'm ready to tell her and Anais .

I'm moreso worried about how my sister will take it .

I've never heard her say anything bad about the lgbt community, but that doesn't mean that she hasn't .

Of course , I would want her support , but I'll be just fine if she doesn't. I think . I don't know. I'm not entirely sure .

I haven't put as much thought into it as I should .

I was so focused that I didn't hear anything xan was saying .

I snapped back into reality when I heard the words .. "so it's a date?"

I looked at him with both shock and confusion.

I sighed apologizing . "I'm sorry xan , I was zoned out and didn't hear you ."

He smiled wide and said "I was asking you if I could take you on a date . It's a surprise location though , but I know you'll love it."

Without hesitation, I said yes . I got so excited that I couldn't stop beaming .

I can't believe someone like him wants to take someone like me on a date .

It almost seems surreal ..

I deaded my thoughts before they had a chance to kill the mood .

Sometimes , I hate the way my mind works .

I forced my mind back into the moment .

I just know my cheeks are a deep shade of red .

We continued our conversation for a little while longer before Ivy started knocking at the door .

I said my goodbyes to xan and made my way to the door .

I pulled it open still beaming as I pulled Ivy into a hug .

She was a little taken aback, but still hugged me back nonetheless.

I stepped to the side as she pulled away and went to take her handful of bags into the kitchen .

I walked to her car grabbing the rest of the bags and made my way inside .

I took a deep breath not sure if I could actually go through with this .

I didn't want to hide who I was any longer , but would anyone accept me ?

Do I even want to tell everyone ?
