"So! Ready to go?" - Part 1

Eadlyn's POV
I smiled to myself as I drove home from school Friday afternoon. Erik had finally gotten the guts to ask me out! After years of waiting, he suddenly just appeared by my locker. I giggled, remembering how I'd tried to play dumb with him.

"You're Erik, right?"

Well of course he was Erik! He was the one who had always stared at me during English. And lunch. And while I was walking down the halls. It sounded creepy, but it was actually kind of...cute.

I rounded another corner and then drove down our long driveway. Our house was next to the ocean, and we had a private beach and everything. Thank you, mother, for becoming famous.

I parked my car, grabbed my purse, and headed inside. "I'm home!" I yelled before grabbing an apple and taking a large bite. I walked over to the couch and was about to sit down when I noticed that it was already occupied.

My twin brother Ahren and his girlfriend, Camille, were having a make-out fest right before my very eyes. I screamed and retreated to my room, slamming the door behind me. Gross! That is not something you want to see every day!

I plopped down on my bed and continued to eat my apple. I tried erasing the image of my brother kissing Camille from my memory, but it wasn't working. I groaned and pulled my phone from my pocket. Maybe that would help.

1 New Message from Unknown Number

Hmm...strange. Who could that be? I unlocked my phone and read the message.

Unknown Number: Hey Eady. This is Erik. Just wondering where you want me to pick you up tomorrow😃

I felt a small smile form on my face, and I quickly added Erik's number to my contacts. I'd need that later.

Me: I guess just pick me up at my house. You said noon, right?

I already knew he was picking me up at noon. I just wanted a reason to text him. I heard my phone ding and I immediately checked it.

Erik: Yup! I've got a couple surprises for ya😉

Me: Oh really😏 Any hints?

Erik: Hmm...

Me: Pleeeeeaaaaase???

Erik: Fine.

Me: Yay!!!

Erik: 📽🍿

Me: Oooh, a movie!!

Erik: I might as well ask, since you already know we're seeing a movie. What kind of movies do you like?

I smiled to myself. He was so sweet! I remember one time I went on a date with someone and we saw a movie. It was a disaster. He chose the worst film in the history of films. And then, while we were leaving, he'd tried to take advantage of me. My dad was so angry, he made my uncle Gerad expel the guy from school. Thank goodness. He was such a creep.

Me: Well, I'm a hopeless romantic when it comes to movies😅

Erik: Cool, a romance it is!

I was trying to touch up my makeup when I heard the doorbell ring. I grabbed my purse off my bed and ran my hand through my slightly curled hair before running out of the room.

As I made my way to the door, I felt butterflies fluttering around in my stomach. I was so excited to see Erik! We'd stayed up until after midnight, texting and FaceTiming. He was a super nice guy, and I loved talking to him.

I got to the front door and quickly opened it. Sure enough, a bright smile greeted me. When he saw me his eyes got wide.

"Wow," he whispered. "You look amazing."

I blushed and shrugged before giving him a once over. He looked good. But I didn't want to admit it. I was already the shade of a tomato.

"So! Ready to go?" I asked, trying to change the subject.

"Yeah, follow me," Erik started walking toward his car, and I followed close behind. He opened the door for me before getting in himself. He started the engine and then off we went, down the driveway and then onto the road.

I could barely contain my excitement!
