{AT THE 'DATE'}

"What is this place Nicholas?" I asked as I looked around, observing the beautiful view around me. "What? Do you not like it?" He looked at me as he sat down on the ground covered with little rocks. "No, I love it." I reassured him and he chuckled, I liked seeing that. I sat next to him, but kept a respectable distance between us, I didn't even know him two days ago so I tried to not be too forward with things. We sat for a little while, I kept my eyes on the view, the beautiful blue sky and trees, I was too scared to look at him - besides, I liked how at peace I felt in this moment. "It's actually my birthday you know, I've always imagined birthdays as partying and a bunch of people with it - but I actually prefer this rather than that." I thought out loud to him, still keeping my eyes on the view ahead of me. He kept silent, I tried to ignore it but my thoughts were torturing me, is he mad at me ? Have I offended him ? I finally looked at him, only to meet his gaze on me with a slight smirk on his face, not a cheeky one, a cute one. I looked into his eyes for a bit and eventually when I started to feel too nervous I blurted out a playful "What?". His smile widened, "Nothing, you're just cute, you say the most random things.", I felt my cheeks heat up and looked away from him, I didn't want him to feel like he makes me feel some type of way, even though he does. 

We had a few laughs throughout the whole evening, we spoke about our birthdays and how we would like to spend them. It seemed like we had identical interests, I really liked him, but I didn't want to admit it. I can't think of a moment where he wasn't looking at me. There were no playful comments after the one where he called me cute, Im not sure if that bothered me. After all, the sun was about to set, the sky had gone from blue to pink and orange, I honestly haven't seen a prettier sunset in a while. We both just observed it for a solid 10 minutes, no words. I looked at him while he picked up his phone, taking a picture of the sunset. I had realised that he was way closer to me now than he was when we first sat down, and that made me smile. I cant think of words that would explain the way I feel with him, all I can think of is : I feel extremely comftrable and myself around him. 

Suddenly my phone buzzed, I looked down at it and saw many messages from Lumi : 

"We need to talk." 

"Who are you with?"

"Are you serious Ella?"

"You know I had something with him!"

"You're with the guy you said was rude."

"Hey sorry, I need to call someone, do you mind?" I said, still looking down at my phone, wondering what Lumi was on about. "Yeah yeah, no problem Ella, just don't run away" Nicholas responded, smiling again. I let out a slight laugh but it wasn't genuine, I was worried. I stood up and made my way to somewhere where Nicholas couldn't hear me. I pressed on Lumi's contact and called her. She picked up. 

"Hello ?" I called out after some silence.

"Ella! I hate to do this on your birthday, you know I don't like fighting with you." she sounded really upset with me.

"Lumi, what is it ? Please tell me, Im so confused"

"You're with the guy we talked about this morning! You know, the one you said was so rude. Ella, it's not okay, he was the only guy I liked there, maybe if you ever listened to what I have to say you would've picked that up." she was almost screaming, and her voice was also cracking, by which I figured she was probably also holding in her cry. I hated hearing this. I felt really guilty.

"I'll be home in a few minutes, please Lumi wait for me, we'll talk, I promise everything is okay." 

She hung up. 

I was left stressed and felt a tear streaming down my cheek. I felt really bad. I made my way back to Nicholas. "I have to go." I said to him, grabbing my hoodie off the floor. "What, why?" He reacted in shock, standing up straight. I just looked away from him and threw my hoodie over my shoulders. "Hey, hey, Ella. Can I at least have your number, or a way to contact you? I really enjoye-" "No, no you can't." I cut him off before he could finish his sentence, all I cared about was Lumi - and if something serious had happened between them yesterday then he shouldn't have came up to me in the shops today. He's probably a dick. I made my way down the hill to my car, he wasn't following me, which made me quite upset - No, he's no one to me.
