I stand in front of my mirror and do a little twirl. I feel pretty. I haven't felt that way in a long time.

⚪⚪⚪

"¿Adónde vas , todos vestidos para arriba?" Carmen asks me once I get downstairs.

"I have a date." I blush

"Ah , mi pequeño pez tiene una fecha. tenga cuidado de Alice , pasar un buen rato ."

"Bye Carmen!" I shout as I jog out the front door. I see Michael's car pull up to the driveway, so I walk over to it.

He gets out of the car an opens the door for me. He takes my hand and kisses it.

"Hey Michael" I say with a dopey grin.

He looks wonderful. His blue hair looks amazing with his classic black and white suit. I kiss him on the cheek and hop in the car.

Michael's POV

(Sorry if this sucks idk)

I'm in awe of how beautiful Alice is. Her hair is in a messy side braid, But it matches her floral dress, which somehow matches her fishnet tights. Her lips are a florescent pink. I want to kiss those lips, and to have those lips kiss me back. Her jewlery is rose gold. I really don't know how I even know what rose gold is, but what I do know is that it's beautiful.

I try to keep my head clear while driving to the restaurant, but keep sneaking peaks at Alice. From looking at the profile of her face, I notice that she has a curve in her nose, it goes up a little on the end, like a ski jumping slope. Its perfect. It just makes me wonder what other little small details will make me fall in love with her more. (btw this is gonna be v sappy)

"What kind of drinks can I get this lovely young couple?" Asks the waitress.

Alice blushes and orders water. I order water also, and we sit and wait for our drinks to come.

We talk about random things until our water comes, and then we order I get fish and chips and Alice gets a ceasar salad with chicken. Me and Alice talk about our favorite things, books, bands, TV shows, movies, those kinds of things, until our food comes.

We barely talk while we're eating, because the food is so good. I took Alice to the nicest restaurant in town. The bill will be pretty expensive, but it's worth it if I just get an extra minute with the special girl in my life. I realize I don't know that much about her. I decide to ask some more personal questions. 

"So, what do your parents do?" I ask her. 

"Ugh, my dad was one of the co-founders of Kleenex, and my mom is the CEO of Minute Maid, the place that makes lemonade and juice boxes. It sounds like I live the great life, but I really don't. My parents are never home."

I don't really know how to respond so I try to make light of the situation and I say

"Well at least you'll never run out of lemonade!"

"Oh, fuck off, Michael" She playfully says, then clamps her hand over her mouth, realizing that she was loud. I giggled, and she giggled too. The waitress comes over and asks if we'd like anything else. 

"Two glasses of champagne please" Alice requests.

I glance at her cautiously, but she brushes me off, and the waitress leaves, thankfully without carding her. 

"One glass of champagne won't make us wasted, Michael, relax."

"OK, babe"

⚪⚪⚪

The dinner was great, we decide to go for a walk after, I guess that's our thing. 

"Oh shit, I left my jacket in your car!"

(Warning: very cliché/sappy part)

I pull of my jacket, and drape it over Alice's narrow shoulders. She laughs and tilts her face up towards mine. Her brown eyes stare into mine, and I can't feel my body. Only her flawless round eyes, gazing into my green ones, perfectly. She goes up onto her tiptoes and kisses me lightly, I kiss back, and all the feeling of my body comes back, this is our true first kiss, on a starry night, outside of the nicest restaurant in town. I gently apply more pressure, pulling the kiss on deeper, Alice doesn't open her lips, just an innocent kiss, two young adults in love.

Alice POV

I think I'm in love.

I'm definitely in love.

It's pure bliss.
