*Isabelle's POV*

After about an hour of sleeping, I woke up. Carter was already awake.

"Good morning." Carter said.

"Hi."

He kissed my cheek.

"What time is it?" I asked.

"Uhh, 5:30." He said as he checked his phone.

"What time do you want to go?" I asked.

"6?"

"Sure! I'm gonna go home for that like, 30 minutes."

"Okay. I'll see you in a little bit."

"Okay!"

I got up and kissed his lips lightly. Then I went across the street to my house. I got in and mom and dad were sitting at the kitchen table eating.

"Oh, hi honey. I didn't know you would be here, so I didn't fix you anything. Sorry."

"It's okay! I'm going out with Carter tonight."

"Okay, where are you going?"

"I'm not sure. Either it's a surprise, or we're gonna think of it when he comes and gets me."

"Somewhere fancy?" Dad asked.

"I have no idea."

I avoided other questions and went upstairs to my room. My hair was a mess from sleeping. So I took it out of the bun and put it in a French braid.

I texted Carter to ask if we were going somewhere fancy or not.

"Hey Carter, are we going somewhere fancy or what? Because I don't want to dress like a slob and we go somewhere fancy :)"

"Yes! Of course we're going somewhere fancy! It's called Pizza Hut. 😋"

I rolled my eyes at his text.

"Wait, really?"

"No baby."

"Lol okay."

I looked in my closet and got a dark blue dress that goes down to right above my knees, and I got black flats for my shoes. And I got a necklace that I got from Tyler. I just love this necklace, I can't stand to not wear it. I wear it at every fancy occasion I go to. About then, my thoughts were interrupted by a doorbell.

"I got it!" I yelled.

I ran downstairs and answered the door. Carter was standing there with a bouquet of roses and daisies. He gave it to me.

"Awh. Thank you!" I said.

"You're welcome."

"Bye mom! Bye dad!"

"Bye." They both said.

When I closed the door, I gave Carter a hug and kissed his cheek.

"That necklace looks amazing on you. Where'd you get it from?"

Should I tell him? No.

"Uhh, I got it for Christmas."

Technically that wasn't a lie. I got this on for Christmas.

"So where to?" I asked.

"It's a surprise!"

"Aw just tell me!"

"Nope!"

We walked to his car and he opened the door for me. Both of us talked for a while, when we ended up not even at a restaurant. We were at a park.

"We're here!" He said.
