*********************************

Mark's P.O.V

I was standing in the kitchen, leaning against a counter waiting for El to come down. I was wearing a black suit as where we are going is fancy. I reach into my pocket and feel the small box and rub my hand along the velvet. I hope sh-wow.

"You look amazing, El." I said as I walked up to her.

"I always do." She said sticking her tongue out. I just chuckled and kissed her forehead. I took her hand and lead her to the restaurant as it was only a block from our apartment.

When we got there, I told the lady our reservation and she lead us to our table. We sat down and started to look at the menu.

"Oh my god the french dip sounds amazing right now!" I hear El say.

(Side note: I live in Michigan and my family and I didn't wanna do anything big for a vacation this year so we decided to just travel up north to Traverse City and Mackinac Island. If you guys are ever in Michigan, try to go to Mackinac while you're there! It's such a fun place, it's 8 miles around so people rent bikes and ride around the island and there's a cute little town and the whole island is known for the fudge, I would recommend Ryba's and I'm getting off track. Any way, there's a restaurant called The Pink Pony and they have a really good french dip! Ugh! I can't stop thinking about it oops. It has roast beef and melted swiss and provolone cheese and ugh it's amazing! So yeah wow long story short, I would recommend going there.)

"And I'm just going to get the spaghetti." I said while setting my menu down to look at El. Man, she looked amazing. She always does, of course, but god she's just so amazing. The waiter interrupted my thoughts to come take our order.

*****time skip eating but they're still at the restaurant*****

Eleanor's P.O.V

We sat at our booth talking for what felt like ages until he said something.

"I'm so in love with you, El." He stated and I flustered.

"Oh-um-I." I tried, but at a loss for words as it was his first time saying this to me and I don't know how to respond. He then pulled a small black box from his pocket and set it in front of me. Oh god. Oh no. He's going to propose and I'm going to have to turn him down and I don't want to do that! It's to early! We've only been dating for a month!

"I saw these and I remember you said on your first day here when we went shopping that you've always wanted a pair of pearl earrings, so here they are. Happy one month anniversary, El." He said while opening the box, revealing beautiful pearl earrings. At least he didn't propose.

"Thank you, Mark." I said while leaning over the table to kiss him.

He ended up paying for the check and we left the restaurant hand in hand as we walked back to his apartment. I went upstairs to change into something more comfortable and the nearest shirt I found was his lucky red flannel. I changed into that and it was about mid thigh length so I didn't wear any pants. I walked downstairs and sat on the couch next to Mark who must've changed in the spare room. We sat in comfortable silence for about 15 minutes when I turned to look at his and kissed him out of no where.

"And I'm in love with you." I said while resting my head on his shoulder.

*********************
Hehe did you guys think Mark was gonna propose? Oops.
Yeah, this is a little shorter because this is where I had planned to end the last chapter but never got around to it, so please forgive me. And someone messaged me when the last chapter came out asking if I was okay (Thank you by the way, you're an amazing person :) ) and I just wanted to tell you guys that, yes I'm better now. What happened was my dad messaged me for the first time since November. Long story short, he moved four hours away when I was in sixth grade and we didn't talk to me again for a long time since then because he would always change the subject to something like my parent's divorce. So we didn't talk for a long time. The last time I saw him in person was eighth grade and I invited him to my completion ceremony. (I'm a junior in high school right now, just to give you and idea of how long ago that was). And he told me about how my grandma is literally lying on her death bed with a brain tumor a few weeks ago. She's expected to live 3-12 weeks and my dad is trying to get me to come out to visit but I don't know when I can. Any way, my dad and I didn't talk for the longest time and now we're texting back and forth.

I've been to hell and back with my dad so if any of you are going through something similar, please know that it will get better. If you don't believe me, that's fine because if I could travel back in time and tell my self that I'd be having a somewhat healthy relationship with my dad again, I wouldn't believe it either. But if you EVER need someone to talk to, I'll always be here willing to talk about anything that's bothering you.
