Chapter 1

Asia's POV

The somewhat loud conversations throughout the bar was pleasing. This meant, we were busy. Which also meant, I could make quite a bit of cash. I owe my flat mate, Taylor, a bit of money, since I couldn't pay my half of the rent, she did it for me. I walked to a table where a man, who looked like has was at least 30 or older, was sitting. "Hi sir, welcome to Bar Louie. Can I get you anything to drink?" The man stared at the small menu on his table before responding, "I'll have a raspberry margarita"

"Coming right up, sir" I said to him, after I wrote his order down. I walked away form his table to the bar, not far from there. "Raspberry margarita, for table 4," I said to mark, the bartender. "Coming right up, Asia" he said to me before handing me a triangular glass with a reddish pink liquid in it. I placed it on the table and walked to the little podium by the door. Then the old wooden door creaked open and there stood him. He had chocolate brown eyes and hair. He was wearing a black shirt with a white ring on it. He walked up to me, "hi, I'm table for one" he said to me. I looked down to the little white board on the podium, marking the tables. I found one in the back and pulled out a red marker. "Can I please have your name, sir?" I asked him. He smiled at me,"Dan,"he said. I wrote his name down on the small square on the white board. I then grabbed a menu and leaded him to his table. I tried my best to not grab his hand. I sat the menu down at the booth. He sat down and began to scan the menu. I pulled out my little note pad and began,"hi, I'm Asia. I'll be your waitress today. Can I start you off with something to drink?" I then clicked my pen. "I'll have just a water," he said to me. I wrote it down and walked back to the bar. "1 water, table 9" I said to mark. He handed me the glass cup with water. I walked back to his table and placed the drink down. I turned around and began walking away until,"Asia, wait," he said to me. I turned around and stared at him. " would you like to go out sometime?" I tried my best to not do a happy dance," um, sure. I get off at 4 today so we can meet at London beach. Sound cool?" I then prayed in my head. "Sure, I'll pick you up at 5" "ok I'll see you then"
Time skip
It was finally 4:00. Once I finished my shift I went to the back room and took off my little apron and hung it up. I then ran out the back and caught a bus. I got off at our flat building. I took the elevator up to the floor we were on. I unlocked the door and walked straight to my room. "Woah, looks like someone is in a rush. What's the occasion?" Taylor said. She's been my best friend since 4th grade. "Date," I said to her. She smiled and began to squeal. "Yay! Is he cute?" "Very, help me get ready," I said to her. I knew she would anyway. "Ok, first go take a shower, you smell like alcohol. I'll pick out your outfit and help you with your hair makeup." "Ok, thanks girl!" I then walked, more like ran, to the bathroom. I started the water and stripped out of my clothes. I got into the shower and did the normal stuff. Washed my hair, shaved, washed my face, you know, the usuals. I then stepped out and wrapped a pink towel around my hair and body. I then walked to my room and got the clothes off the bed, that Taylor picked out. I then walked into my small bathroom and skid the clothes on. A white TØP crop top, blue jean shorts, white converse, and a cute legend of Zelda necklace. I then walked out of my room into the lounge, where Taylor was sitting, watching of course attack on Titian. "How do I look?" I asked her she gasped and responded," amazing! Now let's do your hair and makeup. She did an amazing make up look for me. I looked like a little tumblr princess. she then began on my hair. she pulled out her curling iron and curled my hair into soft curls. the then pulled my hair into a pony tail and put a white bow in front of it. I was definitely pleased with my look. I then grabbed my phone, wallet, and keys and tucked my phone and wallet into my back pocket. I then walked out the door and locked it. I hopped onto the lift and made my way outside.

I then saw a blue mini pull up and saw Dan step out. he looked amazing. he wore a red and black flannel with a black shirt under. he also wore black jeans and white converse, like me. "he," I said to him and waved shyly. "hi, so are you ready to go?" "yeah," I responded having no idea where we were going. he then opened the passenger side door for me like a gentlemen. I sat down in the car and he shut the door behind me. he then rushed to his side and hopped into the car. he then started the engine ant headed to the pier. the was a Ferris wheel and games and a Starbucks. he came to my side, after parking, and opened the door. he then held out his hand for me to take. I gently placed my small hand into his and we began to walk towards the Starbucks. we walked in and the smell of coffee surrounded me. we walked to the counter and I ordered a vanilla bean frap and he got a caramel frap. we then walked towards a small table in the back. we sat down and talked for about an hour and a half. after we finished we threw our empty cups put and began to walk towards the boardwalk. we first played some games, rode on the Ferris wheel, and got some balloons from a nice man. we then finished out the date with a walk on the beach. "so Asia, tell me about your life," he asked me. I then told him my story. "well, as a kid my parents were drunkies and abusers. when I was 5 they died in a fire. I then lived in a orphanage with an abusive lade and a bunch of sluts and whores. after a 10 years of living there I got anorexia and depression. I'm still anorexic today, except I eat a lot more and I'm getting better, and that's it" he lifted his hand to his mouth and then hugged me. it caught me by surprise but I eased into the hug. he let go of me. "I...I...I cant believe you went through all of that." "it was rough, but I'm okay now. I have a good life and I'm really happy," o said to him. a smile spread across his face. it was an awkward silence for a little till I saw him start to lean in. he then kissed me on the lips, softly. his lips were soft. after a coupe seconds an old lady yelled at us, " get a room!" we then pulled apart and walked back down the beach to the car, hand in hand. today was a great day.
