I like you

30 July 2023

Kate got home at like 6.30 as she walked through the door she told me to get ready because apparently she has booked us at some restaurant for dinner, I got up from the couch and went to go get ready.

We get to this really nice restaurant and and we sit down and look at the menu my eyes almost fall out of my head at the price of everything I look up at Kate "Kate I can't afford this" "who said you were paying?" "Kate I can't let you pay for me this is way too much" "no it's not, get whatever you want" I shake my head because this girl is ridiculous.

We are sitting outside and there's this really cute little puppy sitting near us I can't help but gash at it because it's honestly so cute and makes me miss Koda, I should text Azzi and ask how my dog is doing and if Paige has spent time with her now.

The owner of the dog sees me look at it and asks if I wanna hold her I couldn't resist as Kate laughs at my excitement she also takes a photo of me holding this tiny dog with a glass of wine in my hand as well "you look so cute" she tells me I can't help but blush at her comment. I put the little dog down and thank the owner for letting me hold her.

Our food arrives and as we eat we talk about everything and anything until I remember the conversation we had earlier today and I have to ask her "so you're in love with me?" I laugh a little she looks at me with a small smile "no but I can definitely see myself falling for you" damn I was not expecting her to say that, I blush again and it's my time to smile although I don't really know if I'm ready for another relationship "Kate I like you but I'm not someone you would want to be in a relationship with" "why would that be?" "I have a lot of baggage and I'm damaged" she looks at me with sad eyes "and? I'm not just anyone, Celine I genuinely like you. I don't care that you've got baggage and as for the damaged part, I want to help heal you then."

I just look at her because I don't know what to say, we've finished our dinner and the waitress has given Kate the bill and Kate has put her card in it now we are just basically waiting for it all to come back. When it does we get up and leave, I thought we would be heading home but we aren't she takes us to an arcade.

We play the basketball of course Kate wins but my score ain't to bad because my best friends are basketball players so they have taught me a thing or two, we play a couple of different games before we ended up in the Photo Booth we take the photos and when they print Kate takes one and then I take the other. I also take a quick photo of them just to post on instagram because why not.

When we get home I have a quick shower and do my nighttime routine before getting into bed. Kate has a shower and does whatever she does before she gets into the bed as well, I'm laying on my side facing away from her and I feel her hug me while saying "I wasn't lying tonight, I don't care about your baggage and whatever damage you're talking about, I like you Le" a smile grows on face and I grab her hand that rested around my waist and hold it brining it up so I'm like hugging it, I don't know what to say to her after that but I want her to know I heard her "Kate we will talk about this tomorrow please" "okay" she tries to pull away from me but I don't let her "who said you could stop hugging me?" She laughs and moves back to me.
