                                                            No one knew what I was talking about. A lot of people thought I was referring to Harry. which is correct, and some thought I was referring to the girls. I picked up my favorite outfit: a pair of highwaisted pants, red suspenders, a white crop top, and my black converse. I put a new pair of contacts in and put on a bit of makeup on. I let my hair stay curly for the night. It was already seven forty five and I was getting a bit worried. The day was almost gone and I hadn't even gone on my date yet. My palms were sweaty and I was getting a bit shaky until I heard the sound of something hitting my window. The girls were in the bedroom with me, they were so excited, but not as excited as me. "Oh my god! How romantic!" Perrie said, putting her hands over her chest. I was blushing like crazy and pushed the window up. "What do you want?" Jesy shouted, the girl's laughing. "Rapunzel, rapunzel, let down your hair," he said jokingly, making my heart flutter. "You're a tad late, sir. I had just gotten it cut moments ago." He laughed, forcing a pout. "Shall I come back when it has grown?" I scoffed. "Or I could just take the stairs." "Great idea." I shut the window and the girls started squealing. "If he kisses you, don't freak," Jesy said, fixing my hair. "I packed a condom in your purse," Leigh told me and my eyes went wide. "Ew!" Perrie snorted, patting down my shirt. "You won't be thinking 'ew' later tonight." I rolled my eyes. 

"Thanks, girls. Wish me luck." I heard tons of luck coming from the room as I sped downstairs. I opened the door and there he was, standing there with a bouquet of roses. "Oh my," I breathed out, taking the lovely flowers from his grip. "They're beautiful..." "Cheesy bastard!" we heard Leigh called. He smiled, ignoring the comment and lead me outside to his vehicle. "So, may I ask where we're going?" I asked him, nudging his side with my arm. He shook his head with a smirk, looking down at me. "Surprise."

"Surprise?"

"As in, you won't know."

"Why not?"

"It's special," he breathed out, opening the door. I got in, crossing my arms with a pout. "Aw, babe. Don't be that way," he cooed, poking my nose before he shut my door and jogging to his side. 

I was getting nervous again, so I wiped my palms on my shorts and held my breath as he got in. "You look amazing tonight, by the way," he said softly, pecking my cheek as he put on his seatbelt. Don't get me wrong, I was excited, but I couldn't smile. I was too scared I would mess everything up. And, sadly, I had left my phone with the girls so I could avoid getting a call during the middle of the date. I should have brought it to ask advice from them. Great going, Jade. You're going to mess everything up now. "What's wrong?" I heard him ask, my eyes adverting to his face. "Oh, nothing," I lied, forcing a small smile. He didn't seem to believe me, but refused to press the subject any further and started the car. I just wanted to scream at that point. I was being ridiculous, honestly, and I hated that. I was filling my head with dumb thoughts. Ugh, stupid. He held my hand most of the way. It was certainly quiet. 

He would occasionally squeeze my hand or run his thumb over my knuckles as if to calm my nerves. I know that I was shaking and I'm pretty sure he could feel it. I felt awful for worrying him with my nerves, but once he pulled over and shut off the car, they vanished. We were just in the park and the sky was turning orange. "Close your eyes," he whispered, slipping his hand from mine. I wanted to protest, but I did as told and shut them. I don't even know why he bothered for me to close my eyes, I knew we were at some park he had picked out. Although I had never been to London, I knew this place rather well. It was grassy and had plenty of trees to climb or sit under. Bu tI did as he said, I kept my hands over my eyes and nothing was visible. "Watch your step," he whispered in my ear, causing me to jump as I felt his arm wrap around my torso. "Don't scare me like that," I told him and he chuckled, pecking my cheek.
