     I changed into a white sundress with red flowers and curled my hair before putting it in a half up half down hairstyle. 

     I checked my phone, it was 6:15, Dodge should be here soon.  

     I slipped on my shoes and walked out into the living room.

     "Why are you dressed up?" My mom asked.

     "I'm not dressed up?" I questioned.

     "Lil, you haven't worn a dress in years."

     "No, I wore one at graduation!" 

     "But before that," She rolled her eyes.

     "Fine, I have a date with Dodge." I sighed.

     "I knew something was up between you two!" She squealed. 

     "It's not a big deal! It's our first date," I shook my head.

     "This is a huge deal, Lilia! He's a cute boy!" 

     "Mom-" I was cut off by the knock at the door.

     "Oo, is that him?"

     "Act normal," I told her, walking over to the door and opening it.

     "Hi," I smiled.

     "Hi," He reciprocated the smile.

     "Uh, I brought you these." He said, holding out a bouquet of flowers.

     "Thank you, you really didn't have to," 

     "Mom, can you put these in a vase please?" 

     "Of course, honey," She grabbed the bouquet from my hands with a wide grin.

     "Hi Ms. Sloan," Dodge greeted my mom.

     "Hi, Dodge! Lilia and I were just talking about your date!" 

     "Mom!" 

     "Yeah, I'll make sure she's home at a reasonable hour," He nodded.

    "I like you, Dodge." My mom admitted.

     "Okay, we're leaving now." I said- grabbing his hand and dragging it out to his car. 

     We pulled up to Mapleside and Dodge pulled a picnic blanket out from his trunk, we found a spot and set up.

     "So, about last night?" I asked.

     "I mean, it's pretty obvious we like each other." He smiled.

     "Not to me, I denied the thought of you liking me anytime my friends brought it up." I laughed.

     The sun was just about to set, the rays of orange casting upon Dodge's face.

     "You talk to your friends about me?" He asked- I nodded in response.

     "Everything I said last night was true, I meant every word." He grabbed my hand. Our eyes locked.

     "You're the most amazing girl I've ever met Lilia, I love being around you. I just wanted to know if you would be my girlfriend?" He asked.

     The grin on my face made my cheeks ache, I nodded and pulled him in.

     Our lips met once again, I never wanted to stop- to be without them. 

     "Is that a yes?" He laughed as he pulled away.

     "Yes, obviously." I laughed.

      My phone buzzed from the spot next to me on the blanket.

     Heather

     Breaking and entering at Spurlock farm tomorrow at 10:00.

     "Looks like we got our next challenge," I show Dodge the text.

     "Yes, indeed it does, partner." He nodded.

     "Let's worry about that later, don't focus on it right now." He pulled me in. 

     I laid my head on his chest, and we watched the sunset for the rest of the night.

     I can't believe that this is my life.

A/N: Second chapter for today!! These two are a bit shorter but we get a lot of Dodge and Lilia scenes :)
