One week later

It just can't get any better with Mike. I'm just constantly happy with him. I was sat on my bed staring off into the distance with a huge smile  on my face. Mike told me we were going on a date tonight. God this guy is amazing. I got up to go to the restroom to get ready for our date. I picked up my phone and saw Mike had texted me.

Mikeypoo😍🔥🔥: Our reservations are in 2 hours😘😘.

Aww he so cute. Wait.  TWO HOURS!1!!1! I'm screwed I look like crap. I quickly ran to the restroom and straightened up my hair and brushed my teeth. Trust me doing both a once is a hassle. But the real struggle was finding something to wear.

Nope.

Wore that yesterday.

Smells like teen spirit.

Do I even fit into this. Guess not.

Finally a shirt I can wear it's perfect. My black rebel eight shirt. A pair of black skinnies. Oh and I can't possibly forget my black vans. Wait. Is this date fancy. Eh whatever I only have an hour left.

I quickly jog down the stairs and run to my speakers and blast P!ATD. Nails for breakfast and tacks for snacks started to blast through out the house. My only option was to dance like a maniac. I heard a knock from the basement door? That can't be Mike. My fingers hover over the knob before I finally decided to open the door. A single candle lay on the first wooden step. I grabbed the candle by the handle and steeped down and the basement shut behind me. Crap I forgot it closes by itself. I grab the knob and it wouldn't open. Great it locks too.  I can hear FOB playing faintly in the other room. Well the only place I can go is down the stairs. My stomach felt as if it was in my throat. The creek of the floor board was so loud I almost jumped out of my socks. In the corner of the room was a man. With his hands in his pockets. He walked up to me and I soon realized he was no human. His eyes were pitch black and his nails super long. But he wasn't scary.
"You can't have that down here!" He shrieked as he ran over and blew my candle out. " that's better."
" W-w-who are y-you?" He snickered and got down on the ground. He placed his hands on the ground in front of him and started speaking. " I am the viger."
" I don't understand. Who are you?"  He stood up from his spot and pointed behind me. I turn around and see myself. Not a mirror no literally another me.

" I make you see things that aren't there. I hide in everyone's house. My name came from the man who created me. Viger Lott. I am no one at all I am the one you call who."

Then his eyes went crazy and looked as if they were gonna pop out of his head. He let out a cry that sounded like my name. "TONY!"

"TONY!"

My whole body was being shaken by Mike who was hovering over me.
"Babe you fell asleep."
Oops."sorry Mikey."
"It's ok turtle. We still have another ten minutes so let's go."

I shot up next to Mike and raced him out to the car. But when I got downstairs I heard FOB coming from the basement. But I thought nothing of it. I quickly ran outside and saw Mike smiling like an idiot in coming to the car.
"Ready!" Mike yelled.
  "Yep! I'm so excited." My leg was bouncing so fast that Mike reached over and stopped me from bouncing it.

Once we arrived Mike pulled me away from the building and towards the park behind it. There was a little table with candles and it had a view of a lake with a fountain in the middle. Mike walked over and I trailed behind still stunned by how gorgeous it is.
"Awe babe don't cry." Mike said while rubbing my back.
" I can't help it. You did all of this for me and I did nothing for you." Mike looked at me and smiled.
"That's a lie you are doing everything right now to make me happy and I want that forever." Mike then got down on one knee. " I couldn't thank you enough for all that you've done for me. I don't care that you were once trapped in a women's body. You're my man now. I just wanted to say that we haven't been together that long and we are still so young. But the way you are and the way you smile. It makes me feel like I'm at home. You might not want to but will-"
"YES!1!!11!!" I jumped on Mike while tears streamed down my face I was so happy. Mike let out a small giggle and... Wait. giggle? Oh my god he never does that. This moment just gets better and better.
" I love you babe"
" I love you too Mikey"
" That doesn't mean I'm gonna let you win at laser tag!" My fiancé got up and ran to the building and I run after him. My fiancé. My fiancé. It sounds so right. My fiancé.
