YOWZA! That was great, and really funny! So so so so, this one will be very feelsy! LOVE YOU ALL YOU BRILLIANT PEOPLE! Xoxoxo-Maya 

When Elena walked out the door, I became a little nervous. Phil had texted me earlier saying our fancy date was tonight. It’s 12:00 now, so I figure I have some time to do some chores. 

I plug my iPod into speakers and blast Ed Sheeran songs, while I do my laundry, rinse the dishes, and vaccum the floors. When I’m done, it’s 4:30. I text Phil asking him what time he’s going to pick me up. He responds with 6:00. Okay, so I breathe and run to my room and open my closet. 

I have only three dresses, one is green, and comes to my thigh. The other is orange with white polka dots and almost reaches my knees. Lastly, I have a black dress that comes to my thigh and has a white ribbon across the middle. I decide to wear the black one, that fits nicely. I put on black tights and wear white converse. With my short hair, the only thing I can do is brush it. For this special occasion, I decide to wear my mother’s old pearl earrings.

When I walk into the kitchen and grab my phone, it’s 5:15. I sigh, as I realize I have a while to go. I go into the bathroom, grab some strawberry lotion, and rub it on my hands. It’s one of my favorite hand lotions and it smells really fragrant. Then, I put on some mascara. Makeup for me is really rare, but I think that since I’m going to a fancy restaurant with AmazingPhil, it’s only necessary. 

When I hear a knock on the door, I sprint out of the bathroom and run to open the door. When I do, I see Phil, standing wearing a tuxedo, (a rare sight) and holding a flower. Cheesy, yet really sweet. 

“I didn’t take you for the cheesy type.” I say to Phil, when he hands me the flower with wide eyes. He chuckles and I welcome him inside. When I close the door, I glance at the clock and realize it’s 5:50. 

“You’re early!” I exclaim, and smile at him really wide. He gives me a smile and comes closer to me. 

“For a reason.” He says to me, and wraps his arms around my waist. I blush but wrap my arms around his neck. He pulls me as close to him as possible and presses his lips against mine. No matter how cheesy this sounds, the embrace sends a spark through me. I deepen our kiss and he slips his tongue into my mouth. Normally this would be a gross gesture, but now it wasn’t. When we pulled away for breath, I took his hand and led him to the couch. He sat down next to me and kissed me again. His kiss is full of passion, and all the gentleness is gone. I run my fingers through his hair excitedly and he wraps his hands around my waist once more. I feel a loss of breath all of a sudden, so I pull away from him, breathing heavily. (SHH you people have dirty minds! Or maybe it’s just me, but SHHH XD) 

When I glance at the clock it’s fifteen minutes past six. Phil seems to notice too, as he grabs my hand, pulls me up and we sprint out the door. When we step outside, I grimace as I forgot my coat inside. He notices and wraps his arms around me to keep me warm. We hurriedly walk along the sidewalk giggling about horrible Phil puns. 

“Of course Dan got the car.” He explains to me. We’re just a block from the restaurant. It wasn’t worth a cab, because we can easily walk. I shiver but embrace the cold. As Phil begins to take his jacket off, I give him a look that clearly warns him not to. 

As we approach the restaurant Phil takes my hand in his and leads me up to the front where a waiter is standing ready. When he sees us, he smiles and gestures us to follow him. We do, and he leads us to a table in the back away from everyone.
