Joel came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed me on the lips.

"It's okay. I still love you" He says.

I just smile at him. "Happy one month" he says.

"Happy one month" I say back.

"Go shower and change. We're leaving as soon as your done"

"What should I wear" I ask.

"Anything, but we'll be outdoors for part of it." he replies.

I dash upstairs and take a shower. The aspirin was kicking in so I felt so much better. I washed my hair, the blow dried it and curled it. I changed into white shorts, a pink lace top, and brown wedges. I put on makeup, grabbed my license, room key, and cellphone. I strut downstairs and walk past Aaron, Seth and Trey.

They were all staring at me as I walked toward the balcony where Joel was waiting.

"Looking good" Aaron said. Trey did a cat-call.

I smiled and rolled my eyes. I stepped out onto the balcony and hugged Joel.

"You look great" he says.

"Will there be food in this date?" I ask.

"Of course! What's a date without food?" we stroll back inside and head for the exit.

"You two love birds have fun!" Christine calls.

I turn around and blow her a kiss. We walk out of the hotel and a limo picks up.

"A limo?!" I gasp. He chuckles.

"Go all the way or go home" he says.

I smile the whole way to where ever we were going.

"Tell me what we're doing. Please!" I beg.

"Nah" Joel replies.

I pout and cross my arms. We arrive in a building and we have to fill out waivers.

"Oh gosh. What did you plan out?" I say as I sign my name.

He wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me close. He kisses my head and murmurs "You'll love it."

They lead us out back and I see the track and everything.

"We're going go-carting?!" I smile. I feel like I'm 8 years old again.

"Ever done this?" he asks.

"Once when I was like, 7! And not as good as this!" I look at him and give him the biggest smile and kiss him on the cheek.

A cute instructor tells us all the gears of working the cart. He was always smiling at me, and looking at me.

"And you put your feet here" the instructor says.

"But I'm sure you won't have a problem with that" he says looking right at me. I can see Joel get mad. He pulls me closer towards him.

We finally get in our go carts, ready to speed off.

"I'm gonna cream you" I grin at Joel.

"In your dreams, babe" he rolls his eyes. We dart off and I was ahead for most, but he caught up quickly. I felt like a kid again, like I didn't have to pretend around Joel. He was important to me. In the end, he beat my by like, one foot!

"You beat me!" I laugh.

"Suck it!" he says.

I hug his waist and he kisses the top of my head. The limo driver took us to the middle of a field. It looked like where Edward and Bella were. Joel pulls out a picnic basket and a blanket. I couldn't wait to show him my gift for him!

"Its wonderful!" I gush as he sets everything up. We have sandwiches and grapes and brownies we feed each other. As we finish up, we exchange gifts.

"Mine first!" I squeal.

He smiles and sits patiently.

I pull out a guitar and test the strings. I start singing, putting my heart in every word.

"People like to play those games. Tricking girls and messing with guys. Your no different because you messed with my heart and mind.

Baby, if you weren't here, I wouldn't be me. If you were gone or near, its not close enough to be, what I want, what I want to do. I wanna say that I love you. And I hope you love me too.

Your my guy, the one I can call mine. Your my everything, I love you for...In the end of the day, I couldn't ask for more.

Baby, if you weren't here, I wouldn't be me. If you were gone or near, its not close enough to be, what I want, what I want to do. I wanna say that I love you. And I hope you love me too."

I sing the last note perfectly. Joel was just sitting there, his mouth open.

"You wrote that?" he asks.

I nod and bite my lip. "Is it okay?"

"Its amazing!!! I loved it, Talise. You got some talent." He pulls me closer to him and I lay on his chest.

He pulls out a velvet box from his pocket and opens it to reveal a heart shaped locket. He opened it and it showed a picture of us.

Tears came to my eyes as he put it around my neck.

"Joel, I love this! No, I love you!" I say. A tear falls off of my cheek.

"I love you too, babe. Happy one month." he leans over and kisses me.

"Sound romantic!" Christine squeals after I told her about the date.

We were sitting on the beach, right before sunset, just chatting the day away.

Mr. Kernshaw comes out of the bushes and looks at us. He starts walking over and we stand up and greet him.

"Good luck competing tomorrow!" he says to us.

"Thanks. Who are we competing against?" Christine asks.

He has a puzzled look on his face.

"We? Don't you mean you?"

"What are you talking about? Me and Christine are on a team" I kindly remind Mr. Kernshaw.

He pinches the bridge of his nose and sighs. Me and Christine exchange worried glances.

"You girls aren't on a team" he starts. "Only one can win so you guys will be versing each other"
