THE NEXT DAY.

"Where are you going?" My mother asked, eyeing on my outfit for the "date" with Kyle.

"A date." i sighed. Her face lights up and she gasps, "Wha- who's the lucky guy?" she winked.

"Kyle." I rolled my eyes just by mentioning his name.

"Oh honey, he's not that bad. Afterall, he's your closest guy friend right?"

"But i have someone else in mind, and also Mia likes him. I don't want her to be mad for stealing her crush."

"Well, first of all, a guyfriend wont stick around you as 'just friends', of course they will start developing feelings for you after some quite while.."

Again with the lecturing about boys. Thank god doorbell rang before she could even say more. "I'll see you later, love you." i told her and left.

I see Kyle leaning on his car on his phone, he was in his black button up shirt and jeans. His fringe were gelled up neatly, that's when i finally get a full view of his face. Just as i'm walking towards him, he finally looked up from his phone and admire me from head to toe.

"You look beautiful." he smirks, opening the passenger's door for me. A simple thank you was all i can say. Gosh, i don't know where this is gonna go..

"So where are we going?" i asked him.

"You'll know when you get there." he smirked and we drove off.

***

"Where are we?" i asked, getting out of the car while looking around. It's some apartment flat where we stopped.

"Calm down woman, do you always question this much? Come on," he let out a chuckle as he grabbed my hand in his as we go in the apartment. "I think you'll like it."

We entered the lift and Kyle pressed the highest floor. "You know, i've been wanting to do this for a long time..I just hope you like it." he squeezed my hand tight as the door close.

"Kyle, you brought us on a rooftop?"

"Actually, somewhere more convenient. Perfect wind blows at night here," he hugged me from behind. "Turn around," he whispered.

I turned around and saw the table already set up, with candles and a flower. I gasped as i wasn't expecting something like this from anyone. I don't deserve this.. Mia do. "Kyle you don't really have to do this for me.." i walk towards the table.

"You like it?" he smiled, pulling out a seat for me and pushed in gently.

"Well it's not that bad.." i said.

"Not that bad.." he mimicked after me.

"I mean it's good, i love it."

We were interrupted by one of his friend dressed as a waiter.

"Special meal comin' through!" he said as he placed our food on the table. I gave Kyle a confused look while he just smiling at me. "Enjoy!" he said and left before Kyle mouthed him a thank you.

"Did you plan all this? Wow.." i picked up a fork and begin eating the spaghetti. 

"Yeah..for you." he said. "I hope you like it though..you don't seem.." he trails off.

"Amused? No! I mean this is the first time someone ever done this for me, thank you," i said. Eventhough i don't really deserve this.

"Alright let's just start on why i brought you here." he grinned.

"Yeah, it was a date, since i can't accept your offer." i said with mouthful of spaghetti.

"Well actually, there is a surprise. Right after this" he said.

"So.. Back in the day, i realised i was a jerk. Remember you had a crush on me?"

"Oh my god, that was clearly like in second grade, i wasn't the person i am today, don't." i covered my face, feeling embarrassed about how immature we were all back then.

"It was cute, how you sent me letters." he chuckled, revealing his two dimples which i just noticed it was getting deeper than before.

"Kyle, please." i pleaded as i covered my whole face with both of my hands. I felt blood rushes up on both of my cheeks, me turning red as ever.

***

"I had fun," i told him. We're on my front porch outside my house after a long drive from that place. My bum aches so much for sitting in the car.

"Me too. I hope we could do this often you know.." he rock back and forth on his heels whilst chewing on his lip. Probably nervous.

"Thank you so much, Kyle. I really appreciate the work you've done. Please give me more time to think."

"Danielle, do you not want me? I mean- after few years i've decided to hit on you. I was so blind i admit."

"But that was last time, when i used to like you.. A lot. It took you long enough to notice me. Give me time. Please?" i took out my keys from my purse and unlock the door before my mum eavesdrop on our conversations. Like what she did on my first date. Embarrassing much.

"I'll see you next week then. Goodnight, Princess." he winked and walked off.

I let out a heavy sigh before walking in. Don't know how am i going to deal with this.
