Eli.
The date is tonight. I can't believe I had the guts to ask Emma out. I can't believe she said yes. I'm planning on taking her to the Urban Putt, a really cool restaurant/mini golf course. I went there as a kid with my parents, and my sister before... Anyway, I chose mini golf so I can show her how it's done, wrap my arms around her and- Oh shit! It's six. i quickly comb my hair, and throw on my light blue zip up hoodie. My mom says it brings out my eyes, but I don't see it.
I rush to Emma's apartment next door, then take a second before I knock. I hear some noises inside, and the door swings open, revealing the gorgeous girl next door. Her outfit is cute but casual, and her hair is in a perfect messy bun. I can't take my eyes off of her. Lord help me.
"Ready?" I ask.
"Ready." she replies confidently.
I offer her my arm, and thankfully she takes it. We walk out to my car, a yellow punchbuggy, and she gapes at it, her soft pink lips forming a little 'o'.
"I love your car!" she exclaims excitedly. I feel a burst of pride at that, because not everyone likes them. I open her door for her, then go around to the drivers side.
"Thanks, it as my older sisters. I inherited it when I was 17." I reply as I buckle up.
"Did she get a new one, because who would get rid of this car?" she teases.
I go rigid. My sister is a very sensitive topic. A few years ago, she was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. Abby just went in for a cough, but it turned out to be way worse than any of us thought. She fought for 6 short months, and then she passed away. She was 18. My throat closes up, but I manage to speak.
"That's a long story that I will tell another time." I say quietly.
And I will, eventually, but I don't want to make it a big deal yet.
