Dating Ivan Martinez

Ivan

Ivan's POV

To say that I am nervous is a huge understatement I don't know what to do I'm scared. And no not scared like there's a serial killer running around my house, I'm scared as in what if I get rejected. Anyone who knows me knows that I'm pretty confident guy but for the last few weeks that Ariel and her friend Gabby have been here I've been nothing but a jumble of nerves.

I think I have a crush on Ariel,  whenever I see her I just want to hug her and kiss her all over her face. I get a whole bunch of butterflies in my stomach, it's just something about being around her that makes me extremely happy.

This has taken me about a week to figure out but tonight I'm going to ask Ariel to be my girlfriend and I hope she says yes because if not I don't know what I'm gonna do.

"Hey Martinez stop you're daydreaming and  come help Ariel and I with the zip line we are building." Jake says walking back outside to his truck,

I follow Jake outside and I don't know why but seeing Ariel in the pink Team 10 hoodie makes my knees feel like jelly.

"Hey Ivan." Oh god the sound of her voice is enough to make angels sing. I definitely know I have a huge crush on her now there's no way I can deny it.

"Hi Ariel, ne..." by the time I respond to her she's already inside the house oh my god what is she thinks I'm an idiot now. Oh well might as well help get the rest of the make shift zip line in for the video Jake wants to make.

"So how exactly are we going to make this have you looked up online how to do it?" Ariel asks Jake while pulling out some of the supplies out of The Home Depot bags.

"Yeah I looked up online a while ago and I'm pretty sure I can do it but I'm going to test it first with our fake mannequin just to make sure that it can hold some weight and doesn't break." Jake tells her as he brings out some of the supplies to Emilio in the backyard.

I gather some more supplies and the video camera just incase Jake wants to record us making the zip line for his video. And I was right Jake asks me to turn on the video camera and start recording for his video.

It takes us a good forty minutes or an hour to build the zip line,  I had to say it looks really good. Jake puts our mannequin on the zip line and pushes it and it works oh my god, it works.

In heat of the moment I turned around and not even thinking I grab Ariel's face and I kiss her. I pull away as I hear shocked gasps, I look around just now knowing that I kissed Ariel. I like down to her to see that she's blushing, I think I just made things really awkward between the both of us now.

"I'm so sorry Ariel I didn't mean to I'm sorry." What have I done? Now we can't be friends cause I kissed her and this just makes it really awkward . But not going to lie I really didn't want to kiss Ariel.

"Don't worry Ivan it's ok." Ariel says walking back inside the house but I hear her say something that makes me happy, I hear her very quietly say, "I've been waiting for you to do that."

"Dang dude if you wanted to kiss her that bad  you could've just said something and we could have made that kiss happen a lot sooner but then again it was pretty smooth." Jake says giving me a high five  me.

Jake goes inside but Emilio just looks at me with a death glare. What did I do?

"You jerk how could you!" Emilio whisper yells shoving me.

"What I didn't do anything wrong come down."

"You didn't do anything wrong are you serious right now! You kissed Ariel why would you do that you know I've had a crush on her since the day we run into her the day at the beach." Wait what! Emilio never said anything about him ranking Ariel if he did I wouldn't have done anything. Damn I just broke guy code.

"I'm sorry Emilio if I had known that, I wouldn't have kissed her I'm sorry." Emilio just looks down shaking his head.

"You know I can't stop you but just take care of her okay. She's too sweet to have her heart broken,  so don't hurt her." I nod hugging Emilio,  I smile knowing he gave me consent I'm dating Ariel. Now here comes the hard part asking Ariel to be my girlfriend but an ask her tonight and I just hope she says yes.

"Hey Ariel and I talk to you before you go home?" I can't begin to tell you how nervous I am I think I'm shaking I can't even tell.

"Yeah sure what do you need to talk about?" Oh God I think my stomach is  doing flips this is so nerve-racking.

"Will you go out with me." I ask but it sounds more like one big word.

"I'm sorry what I didn't understand you." I don't know if I can say it again I love that one more breath before I say it again this time slower.

"Will you go out with me Ariel." I say say letting out of breath I didn't even know that I was holding.

"Of course."

"Oh okay sorry to have bothered you I'm just gonna go now. Wait what? Did you say yes?"

"Yes Ivan I'll be your girlfriend." Oh my God I don't know how I'm going to contain my excitement but whatever I can't hold it in any longer! I pick Ariel up off of the couch and swing her around in my arms. This is honestly the best day of my life, my dream girl said yes!
