This morning when I woke up, I rolled over to my right bed table and click the home button on my phone and looked at the time. The notification that made me confused at first was from Noah. I'd forgotten he had my number and I sadly didn't put him in contacts.
It was a sweet good morning message along with him asking,
"Do you wanna grab a coffee or something? Or maybe go out somewhere if you'd like?"

Sent at 11:45 am

I looked at the time and it was 12:53. He'd sent the message an hour ago.
I immediately texted back saying that I'd love to go out somewhere. And since most of my friends are usually busy doing their own things I didn't mind.

He read the message right when I sent it which surprised me a bit for some reason... It was like he was waiting for the whole hour while I was still asleep... I scratched my head in confusion but shrugged it off and waited for his reply.
"Great. I'll come by your house at 1:30?"
"Yeah that's fine. Just doorbell twice."
"Alright."

I got out of bed, grabbing my creme white knitted sweater that I also got for my birthday, some thick tights and some socks, then headed into the shower. The hot water couldn't be rushed, but after while I shut off the water and got dressed. I quickly brushed my teeth and yank the brush through my hair just to get ready faster even though I had plenty of time. A ding came from my room and I hurried out the bathroom to check if it was Noah. But it was just my parents,

"Hey honey, you doing ok?"

I immediately texted back knowing they'd get mad if I didn't respond,

"Yea I'm fine, bout to head out with a friend."

I didn't wanna give away that I was going to hang out with a Boy... Who knows what my dad would do... I looked at the time.

1:10pm

"Still got 20 more minutes..."
Tapping my finger, thinking, I quickly decided to text him and let him know to come by already.

I heard the doorbell ring twice and swiftly went downstairs. There he stood, at the door, smiling.
"Hey. You look nice."

I glanced down at my outfit and awkwardly smiled back,
"Thanks..Oh uh... come on inside."

He grinned and walked in and looked around the house, then looked down quickly to find my husky, Malu, barking and sniffing him.

"Aww, you got a husky, he's gorgeous, what's his name?"
"His name is Malu. He's usually not that friendly to others but I guess he likes you."
"Glad he approves of me."
He laughed as I smiled while he scratched behind Malu's ear. Finally he stood up and looked at me.

"So is there anything you'd like to do today?"
"How bout go see a movie and head to an arcade?"

He cocked his head to the side and flashed a crooked smile, making me blush on how cute he looked...

Don't go boy crazy Ali...

"It's a date then. So what movie you'd like to see?"

I had to look away from his gaze and looked down when he said "Date".
I've never been on a date before even though I've been asked out a couple of times. It's just I was never really interested in the person, or I was crushing on someone else who never liked me back of course.
