Is it Love?

Date preparation (Aiden's view)

The others left, and I went into my room. To be honest, I am not sure what I am supposed to do. My only thought was Taylor and her eyes. These goddamn eyes. When I closed my eyes, I saw hers. It drives me crazy. Then I heard my phone. I noticed a weird chat name 'Date  Tay'. It was a new group. The only members were Ben, Logan, and I. Ben and Logan seemed to discuss a date that Taylor would like. This can't be true, who of them liked her? And why would they get me involved. I wanted to cry, then I realized. She is not just a friend to me. I can't lose her to them, even if they are my friends.

I texted in the group asking what this was supposed to mean. Logan then explained, "Aiden. Ben and I noticed you seem to like Taylor. We decided to help you get a date with her. I am her best friend, and Ben is also pretty close to her. I am not sure if we are as good as help as Tyler would be, but we will try our best." So they don't like her. That is a win. Logan went on telling me things Taylor likes. Most things were not very helpful. She likes cats, different kinds of music, watching Tyler play baseball and Daisys. Wait, Daisys, that might actually be helpful. I could give her some. Flowers are always good when it comes to girls.

I remember she had fun when we were at the arcade, so I decided we could have a date there. She knows that place and feels comfortable there. Logan and Ben agreed. Now, how do we get her there. I can't just ask her. Logan said he would take care of it, and Ben helped me get ready. I looked like some guy I would hate. Ben said I needed to make a good expression to her if I wanna have a chance. I understand his point of view, but Taylor already knows me, so there is no need for it. Still, I went with it. I hope she won't laugh at me. Ben and I went to the arcade, but when we arrived, he left me alone in front of it. My hands began to become sweaty, and I felt my heart exploding for nervously. In my left hand, I was holding some Daisys for her. She would like them, right? If not, I am doomed.

I never had time move so slow. Even if I was just waiting 10 minutes for her, it felt like hours. All my nervously went away when I saw her. She somehow looked prettier than usual, and she was alone.  No Tyler, that could ruin everything. I felt relieved seeing her, and my heart knew it was the right thing. This date is my one and only chance, and I won't ruin it. She first didn't seem to recognize me. Gosh, I love that woman. She looks so cute when she is clueless.
