Dieciséis

Dieciséis

I feel sick. The good kind of sick however. You know when the butterflies in your stomach just become too much for you too handle and your heart is beating so fast you think you're going to vomit it up your throat? Maybe that's just me, but that is exactly what I am experiencing right now.

All these ideas of what he's going to say to me are rushing through my brain as if we are on a highway and it's just one car. What if he tells me he's moving away and I won't be able to speak to him ever again? Honestly, I do not need to lose him...again. 

I'm currently staring out the window, nervous at where he is taking me, but also excited at the same time. He's already given me such a cute necklace and the car of my dreams. It's like the perfect date with the perfect boy. The only boy that is actually for me. I'm smiling to myself like a creep while summer music is playing in the background and Max is driving to the mystery destination. 

I just want to know exactly what is running through his head right now. Is he nervous? Is he thinking of the date? Is he excited? Questions always rush through my head, I can't help being such a curious human being. 

My head starts to drift towards Max, he looks so good right now, I can't help but to just sit and stare and him and admire the fact that I am his lucky girl. Well technically I'm not his, we both haven't had the guts to ask one another out. That's the one question which has been stuck with me the whole time, will he ask me tonight? 

We finally make it to a stop in the middle of absolutely no where. He said we would be going to dinner, but to me this looks like we'll be walking for about five hours due to a car being broken down. He opens to door to the car and makes his way over to my door. I raise my eyebrow at him and he grins at me, "Just trust me on this one Lacey." 

He opens my door and I step one foot out at a time. My eyes make my way up to his and the way they sparkle just makes me feel so lucky. You know when someone close to your heart looks at you like you are all they see right in that moment, well that is exactly what I was feeling in this moment. His eyes look like the stars right above my head right now and I just can't get my head around how lucky of a girl I am. How? How did I out of all the girls in this world get so lucky? 

"Ready?" He looks down to me and I nod my head. I probably look like the Chesire Cat right now because my grin is just so huge and it won't go away. Honestly though I don't care if people look at me and think what is she grinning about because I'm with the most important person in my life right now and he's making this night be as perfect as he can. 

I take his hand in mine and he guides me to an unknown place. My stomach is still going crazy. Butterflies. These butterflies are not normal though, they're attacking my heart as well. Normally I don't feel this strongly towards a boy. I mean I obviously had a few butterflies here and there from Lucas, but he just had the looks and the act. I still don't think that I will ever be able to forgive him. I'm quite literally scared of him, he's a creep and I'm surprised the girls didn't realize that sooner. 

My hand is getting sweaty in Max's and I'm starting to worry if he will be a little grossed out by that. Maybe he can tell how I'm feeling though and think it's cute, hopefully he is thinking that way. "Max...Where are we? All I can see is darkness and I'm sure we're gonna be walking for hours and you know I didn't get all dolled up to go on some country walk in HEELS cause if that is how it's gonna end up my feet are gonna kill and I really-" Max stops and looks at me. I begin to blush, but thank god it's dark enough that he can't see the red tint making it's way up onto my cheeks because if he could then I know that his reaction would literally be to laugh at me and then make a witty comment about how he finds it cute which would lead to me slapping his arm in a playful way. Urgh, I'm rambling so much because I'm so nervous, this needs to stop.
