6:30 came along within a blink of an eye and I realize that I look like trash.

Well he never told me that I needed to look good.

So then I take off my hoodie and leggings, then I throw on a pair of skinny jeans, black as always, a blink182 shirt and my black vans. My usual attire.

Looking at my hair I see that it's a rats nest. Nothing a brush can't fix. I brush my hair and I throw it into a high pony tail, and I straighten the hair hanging from the ponytail.

Good thing that Sunny Day's Diner is only around the block from me. I click on my phone to see the time: 6:50
Just enough time to walk

Me: Do you need me to drive?
My Anchor⚓️: Just walk
Me: See you in 10
My Anchor⚓️: I can't wait.

I grab my phone and slide it into my back pocket, grab my key and hook it, right with the key ring, and put it onto one of my jean loops. And I walk right out the door, I turn right and walk all the way to the corner and I check my phone. 6:57.

Shit. I'm gonna be late, hope he's not pissed.

I turned the corner and I saw Danny's car pull up and he got out, at the sight of him I start sprinting towards him. He didn't see me until I leap right onto his back. Piggyback ride by the guy I love most.

"oh hey!"
"HEY DANNY"
"Are you excited?"
"No" I say in my most sarcastic voice I could manage to use.
"Then let's go eat dinner"
"I didn't bring any money" I say as I hop down from Danny's back.
"Don't worry, it's all on me"
Then I hug him, and I hug him very tightly. Just as he's about to let go I kiss him on the cheek and whisper in his ear, "I love you"
"Love you too sky"

That just filled me with sorrow. The difference between I love you and love you. The difference that he used my nickname instead of my full name. It kinda filled me with rage. I glance up from looking at my feet to see Danny talking to the waiter. The waiter nods and guest used his hand for me to follow.

I follow him all the way into a beautifully lit room with only a small table in the corner of the cafe. Looks like something I'd find on tumblr. I walk over to the table and Danny pulls the chair out for me and I sit down. He attempts to push me in but struggles to, I laugh and scoot in. My movement causing him to fall, I laugh even harder.

He gets up and walks over to his chair and sits down. He takes off his hoodie and puts it on his chair. The waiter walks up to us and hands us menus,
"Hello, I'm Michael, and I'll be your server tonight"
Danny glances at Michael and then Michael takes my menu away.
"I'm sure you will love your meal"
I look at Danny in confusion. He just smiles at me, revealing that dimple that always makes me melt.

"So," I say breaking the silence between us, "what are out plans for tonight?"
"Let me just say that we will end up where we go"
I just stare at him, I do not know what he means. Then the waiter comes back in, I swear he was only gone for 2 minutes. Maybe Danny called ahead.

He put my plate in front of me and Danny's in front of him.

It was pizza, 2 slices each.
"I thought you were in the mood for pizza?"
When he says this I'm already into my second bite of the pizza and I just give him a sauce faced smile. He smiles and bites into his pizza.

In literally 6 minutes we were both done with our pizza. And Danny had never paid.

Maybe he's been planning this, breaking the vase was just a decoy to get me here.

As we walk out the door Danny starts to talk, "Are you ready for part one of three of our adventure of the night?"
I look at him and raise an eyebrow, "three?"
"Yep, now get in m'lady"
I hop into the passenger side as Danny pulls out a quarter.
"Why a quarter?"
"It's part one"
"Explain?" I say as he starts the ignition.
"Every time we come to a stop sign or a signal we flip the coin, heads we go left, tails we go right, and we will see where it leads us"
"Ooh I like this game"
Then he pulls out of the parking lot. And to a signal. I flip the quarter.

It was tails.
