We had been hanging out in L.A. for two days now. It had been amazing. Jack asked me out two days ago for frozen yogurt. I'd never really had "fro yo" before buuuutttt, it sounded good. Tonight was the "date" I still wasn't for sure if it was a I like you date, or a "I don't really know you but I know the rest of our friends so lets be friends" date. Gahh. Confusion. Either way I did not want to disappoint. So I hopped in for a quick shower....

JACKS POV

Tonight was Alice's and I's date. To say I was extremely nervous would be an understatement. I knew Alice was nice. And she was beautiful. But I didn't know if she knew I wanted it to be a real date. I know we're both in L.A. now, but what about when we get home? She lives in Indiana I live in Connecticut. Jack calm down. You don't even know if she likes you enough to date yet. Oh man, what if she doesn't?

ALICES POV

After my shower I had gotten out. Since we were in L.A. I was excited to dress more.....stylish. In Indiana is basic stuff. No high waisted pants, or crop tops or anything remotely "cute" in my opinion. That's why I got made fun of in school. I'd never really fit the "Indiana Girl" mold. So being more confident here in California, I put on a pair of high waisted shorts and a white flowy crop top. Still keep my "normal" style I went with my beat up black high top converse. Basic. I know. I waited for Jack in the living room of Jenn and Andrea's apartment. "Hey! Why're you all dressed up?" Andrea asked. I forgot she didn't really now about the date. "Uhh, I have an outing with someone...." I said letting the sentence trail off. "WHO?!" she yelled. Clearly excited. "ANDREA STOP YELLING I AM TRYING TO NAP." Yelled Jenn from her bedroom. "ALICE HAS A DATEEEEEEE!" Andrea yelled back. "It's not really a da-" I tried to finish my sentence when Jenn came running in, still in her pajamas. "Who with?!" she asked, sitting down on the couch. "Guys it's not really a date, Jack and I are just going out for some Yogurt, not getting married." I stated. "Hah! Told Ricky. He ows me five bucks." Jenn stated. "Wait, what?!" "Yeah, well I knew Jack was your YouTube crush and I told Ricky by the end of the time you guys were both in L.A. you'd be dating." she stated rather calmly for the situation. "What? You are crazy! We aren't dating. Just getting to know eachother. I mean if you think about it Jack knows you guys and the O2L gang. And you guys are my best friends and I know the O2l guys, so it only makes sense we should get to know eachother more.." I finally finished. "UH huh sureee...." Andrea said, trailing off her sentence. Just then the door bell rang. "JACK." Jenn yelled. She got up to answer the door. "Uh uh, Jenn you stay here." I laughed pointing to the couch. "Yeah Jenn, I obviously should let Jack in." Andrea stated, with a smirk on her face. "Uh no. Not you either." I said smiling. Gosh I love these girls. "BYYYEEEEE." I said picking up my phone and heading to the door. I opened it and Jack looked up. "Uhh hi." he said shyly. GOSH THIS BOY IS ADORABLE. "Hi." I said quietly stepping out, and closing the door. "Uhh I got you this." Jack said. HE PULLED OUT A ROSE. A ROSE. AH. THIS BOY WILL BE THE DEATH OF ME. I screamed on the inside. The gesture was so sweet. Now it was clear this was a real date. Butterflies erupted in my tummy. "Thank you so much!" I grinned. He was so sweet. We made our way down the stairs of the apartment complex and finally made it outside. "I thought we could just walk. Kian said the night life in California was amazing." And it really was. Walking to PinkBerry we passed palm trees with lights glowing off of them. The whole city seemed to glow. As we walked we made easy conversation. We talked about our lives back home, both our strong hatred for school, and how pumped we were to leave or VidCon tomorrow.

We got into PinkBerry and walked up to the machines to pick out the flavors. "What's your favorite PinkBerry Flavor?" he asked. "Actually I've never had it before." "Wait. You've never had PinkBerry?!" he seemed shocked. "Actually no frozen yogurt in general." I stated laughing. "Oh my god. You need some now."

He told me his favorite kind. "Strawberry." We both got Strawberry yogurt with different toppings. We walked up to the register. "$8.23" the cashier stated. I reached into my purse for my wallet. "Oh no." Jack stated. I looked up to face him. "I am paying." He stated smiling. He handed the cashier the money and waited to recieve the change. "But I can-" I tried to talk. "Nope. I asked you out. I am paying." He said grabbing my hand and walking us to a table. HE GRABBED MY HAND. :OIGH. This gesture surprised me. But in a good way. The volcano of butterflies unleased its self again. I was a mess.

JACKS POV

"Nope. I asked you out. I am paying." I stated laughing. I grabbed her hand and picked a table. Wait. I grabbed her hand. I hope she doesn't think I'm to forward. It was just there and I grabbed it. Gah. Jack you're stupid. I couldn't help but feel the way our hands seem to perfectly mold into one anothers. It was great. We finsihed up our containers of the delicious frozen treat and made our way out of the shop. "Thanks Jack." I heard her say. "Anytime. I had a lot of fun." I stated. And I meant it. I had an amazing time. She was so easy to get along with. We seemed to just...click. I was really looking forward to the next two months in Cali with Alice. I grabbed her hand and interlocked our fingers. This time I knew what I was making my hand do. I looked over at Alice. She looked down at our tangled hands and at first I thought she was disappointed. She then smiled and blushed. She was so cute. We made it back to the apartment complex. Not wanting our date to be over so soon, I decieded to walk her all the way up to her door.

ALICES POV

Tonight with Jack had been amazing. We got along extremely well. It was like magic when we held hands. It surprised me, yet intrigued me. I was really starting to like Jack. Not just as a YouTube crush, but as a real one. We had made it back to Andrea and Jenn's place.  I did not want this date to be over. "I really did have an awesome time. Thanks Jack." I stated. "I did too. We should do this again?" He questioned. He seemed unsure that I would say yes or not. "Totally." I replied. A sudden silence bulity itself up around us. It wasn't an awkward one, but a suspenseful one. Like something should happen. He looked into my eyes. His eyes were so cute. The deepest brown, I'd ever seen. He leaned in. I started to lean in as well. He bent down a little and I stood on my tip toes. I was 5' 2" and he was easily 6'. I felt a hand on my cheek. My eyes fluttered close, as did his. Then I felt it. His rough lips. The kiss was gentle. It filled my body with warmth. After a couple more seconds he pulled away his lips. But not his postion. We stared and smiled at eachother before he unexpectedly gave me another quick peck. "I'll text you tonight, Okay?" He said smiling. We were both grinning. If anyone was watching we probably looked like Idiots. But I didn't care then. "Definatly." I said. He stared walking away and I went inside. "How did it go?" Jenn asked. She was in the kitchen making cookies out of a...muffin pan? I don't know I was to happy to ask. We I didn't respond Andrea looked up from her magazine and Jenn from her cookie muffins. "You kissed." Andrea said with a knowing grin. "YOU DID!" Jenn screamed. "I'm going to bed." I calmly stated, with a big smile still painted on my face.
