AURORA
I'm getting ready for a literal blind date my brother set me up on. I mean it's been 7 months since Jasper left me. we dated for 6 years... and I found him cheating on me with someone else. And of course, it broke my heart, and I've not gone out anywhere since then. I've not done anything fun. All that I have done is eat ice cream, watch Netflix and cry, cry, cry. I've not even gotten out of my room much either. Since my brother loves me so much, he thought it'd be a great idea to set me up on a blind date. I mean my brother knows the guy it seems, but I don't. I'm still really upset about the breakup. And it's the first time I'm going out to have fun in a while. I don't have best friends. I only have a loving and caring brother. And I guess it's time to move on from Jasper. I did my make-up simple and light nothing extra. A light pink lip, some blush, a bit of mascara and eyeliner. I'm not in the mood to put more effort into my make-up today. I go to my closet to pick out a dress... I pick out a white tank top with a pink plated skirt. I also picked a pink and white varsity jacket because it's kind of cold. I'm supposed to meet the guy in a restaurant named "Sweet Affairs". Which is just a few blocks away from home. It's currently 7 pm and I'm supposed to meet him at 7:30 PM. I asked Zane to give me a ride there because I'm not looking to put in any effort.
"You ready Aurie?"
Zane shouts from the living room as I'm making my way down the stairs.
"Turn around," I say.
Zane turns around and looks at me and comes running to me hugs me and says, "FINALLY! My cute little sister is sistering". I just smile at him. He grabs the car keys and holds my hand to the car. He opens the car door for me and closes it once I sit down. He rushes to his side of the car and sits down.
"Everything will be fine. I know the guy and I know he'll treat you good tonight but if he doesn't then I'll make sure to beat him up" he says sweetly.
I smile at him and nod. I get why Zane is concerned about me. He's seen me at my worst. He's seen me through everything, He is the one who took care of me my entire life. We lived in an orphanage and never got adopted. We grew up and Zane got a job, and we bought a small apartment and started living on our own. We never found our birth parents. We are the only ones we have for each other. He knows how much losing Jasper hurt me. He doesn't want me to go through the same pain again. He wants me to move on which I am not able to. He understands me so much. And I feel really special to have him in my life. I know that not everyone gets an amazing brother in their life. So, I'm grateful. But I'm not excited about this blind date. Zane didn't even show me his picture. All he told me was that his name was Asher Townsend. Hmm, Asher huh? The name is kind of hot. Like those romantic novels where the guy has a hot name like his looks and stuff. I wonder what this real-life Asher Townsend looks like...
....
I got out of the car and smiled at Zane before he pulled away and drove off. I went inside the restaurant and looked around. But I didn't know what he looked like, so I didn't know who he was. I walked around and heard someone calling out my name from behind.

The voice... so damn... attractive. I turned around and saw him. he looked so damn good in that outfit. With his dark hair and glowing skin which was as white as milk. His eyes are as green as the grass. And his smile was as bright as the sun.
"Hey, pretty lady," he said. In his damn attractive voice.
"Hey," I said while my cheeks changed colour.
We sat down opposite to each other. He looked like he had escaped from heaven. He stared at me with those dreamy eyes and a melting smile.
"So, what's your favourite food?" He asked in the same goddamn attractive voice.
"Burger with fries," I said as I tried to control the dumb smile.
"That's my favourite too," he said while I was trying not to drool. "let's order?" he asked me, and I nodded. And we of course ordered a Burger with fries. My favourite. Or should I say, our favourite?
