I spend the day with Lottie watching films and playing with her toys whilst my mum works from her office. I glance at my phone and notice it is 4:30pm.

I am going on a date in an hour and a half. I stand up and hold my hand out. "Come on lots." I smile as she takes my hand.

I walk upstairs to my mum and she takes Lottie and allows her to play games on her phone.

I leave her office and walk across to my bedroom. I play some Hozier and one direction whilst getting ready for my date.

I sit at my desk in front of my mirror and start to do a little bit of makeup. Not much, just a little glow. I pick up my curling iron and decide to curl my hair.

It's all coming together now, I just need an outfit. I walk over to my closet and open the doors. I stare into space until something catches my eye.

My beautiful play suit. It's forest green. I paired it with some small white wedges. I look in the mirror at how proud I am that I look this good. I've never put this much effort in.

I quickly realise that I haven't got any of my jewellery on, so I frantically put it all on and then squirt some of my perfume. I'm ready.

I tap my phone screen to see the time and it is 6pm. There is a knock at the door. He's right on time. I walk out of my room and down the stairs to where my mum was about to open the door.

"Look at you, my pretty girl." She smiles. "Oh, I'll not answer the door." She steps into the doorway of the front room so she can still witness it.

I reach for the door handle and open it slowly. I see Noah stood there dressed smartly and like a gentleman. He holds the most beautiful bouquet of flowers.

"Hi." I smile. "Hi." He replies just as nervous. I take the flowers and look at them for a few seconds. "They are lovely, thank you." I say with a beaming smile on my face. They are sunflowers, my favourite.

I look over to my mum and she takes them from my hand for me so she can put them in water. As I turn to face Noah he has his hand held out.

I take his hand and he places it through his arm and walks me out of the house and down to the car. He smells so good. We walk round to the passenger side of the car.

He opens me the car door and once I'm sat down he takes my hand and kisses it gently. "You look so beautiful Maya." He smiles softly.

I can't help but blush at his comment. "You look handsome Noah." I reply making him smile. He closes the car door and walks round to the drivers side.

He begins to drive and the radio plays in the background. "Where are we going?" I puzzle. "It's a surprise." He smirks.

I giggle a little and I feel his hand snake into mine. We hold hands the entire journey. We pull up outside a beautiful restaurant.

The engine is turned off and Noah gets out of the car. He stands at the passenger door and opens it holding his hand out. I take it and he helps me out of the car.

"Thank you." I blush. "You don't need to thank me, I'm doing the bare minimum." He says before kissing my cheek.

We walk into the restaurant hand in hand. A waiter comes up and Noah explains he has a reservation.

The waiter finds the reservation on the system and walks us to our table. I notice that the table is decorated beautifully. When I reach my seat, Noah is kind enough to pull it out.

He gestures his hand for me to sit down with a beaming smile on his face. I can't stop blushing at the romantic gestures and sit down.

Noah walks round the table to his seat and once he is sat down a waiter asks us what we want for drinks. We order our drinks quickly so that the waiter leaves.
