You made it all better

Beach restaurant

I'm in school, I'm almost free and I'm looking outside to see if Damon is already there. I don't see his car, so I guess he still has to come. The bell rings and I grab all my stuff from my locker. I see Cassidy in the hallway.
"Have fun on your date!" She yells. I just laugh and wave. Than I walk outside and look for Damon. He's walking over to me.
"Hello my beautiful, almost 18 years old girl." I smile and pick his lips. It's my 18th birthday in 3 days. I don't really care that much about it, I never really cared about birthdays. But Damon seems to be really excited about it.
"So, where are you taking me?"
"That's a surprise."
We get in the car and start driving, I just tell him about my day, nothing special happened, as usual. It isn't a long drive, we're at some place I've never been before. It's on the other side of town from where I usually go to go out. We're walking in, it's this really cute and tiny restaurant which is created to look like a beach.
"Damon, how did you know I love beaches?"
"I kind of asked Cassidy what would be a good place to take you. She told me the beach, but since we don't have a beach nearby, this is the best I could find."
That's true, I freaking love beaches. I just love to take walks on the beaches and let the wind go through my hair. It makes me so calm. Sadly there's not a beach nearby.
"It's perfect." I smile and grab his hand. He takes my seat like a gentlemen, so I can sit. Than he sits down himself.
"So what are you going to eat?" He asks.
"I'm not sure. But at least not something with sea food, that makes me want to throw up."
He laughs.
"So you love the beach, but not the creatures in the sea?"
"I do, just not to eat them."
We smile.
"So what would you recommend?"
"Well, I was going to say you had to try the sea food menu, but I don't think that's still a good idea."
I laugh, but I sound like a pig. That happens when I really find something hilarious, even though I don't understand why this was so hilarious to me, it's probably just because of him. I still feel like he's too perfect for me.
"I'm sorry." I say, still laughing a little.
"For what, for being cute? Don't be. It makes me smile."
Now I feel I'm blushing. No one has ever been so sweet to me.
We order food and talk more. When the food arrives we just started a conversation about what job he would like.
"So, you told me you have been looking for a job. What kind of jobs have you been looking for?"
"I told you a while ago that Stefan helped me get through a bad time, right. So I would like to do something like that. I'd like to help kids who have been through something hard, or are going through something hard, to deal with it."
My heart's pounding, isn't Damon the sweetest thing ever?
"Damon, that's so beautiful..."
"It's just really hard to find something since I didn't finish school. I'm probably not going to find something unless I get a diploma..."
"I'm sure you'll find something. You're strong and I know you can do it."
He smiles. Than we both take a bite, so we don't say anything for a while. But it makes me so excited that Damon wants to do something with kids, that must mean he likes them and that just makes me so happy. I can't stop smiling and Damon obviously notices.
"What are you smiling at?"
I look at him
"So you like kids?" I ask with a smirk.
"I never said I liked kids, I just want to help kids." He smirks back. I get so happy about this, I always wanted kids and that means I need a man who also wants kids, so this feels like good news to me, and I know that it's really soon in our relationship to think about kids, but that's what happens in my head when I get excited. And than I say stupid things.
"You know. I kind of always wanted the first person I ever kissed to be the last one I ever kissed. It's just one of those weird things every person has. I don't know why I'm telling you this right now." I laugh. He laughs with me.
"That was kinda random. But yeah, I can understand that thought."
We just eat our food and I say some more stupid things, but it doesn't seem like Damon feels weird about it, which makes me feel comfortable.
When we finished our dessert Damon takes my hand and looks at me.
"Promise me we'll never be stupid like that again. Telling each other to stay friends and keep in contact, but than not keep in contact. I really hated it."
"I hated it too."
"So you promise?"
"I promise."
He smiles.
"What about this is going to be our place?"
"This restaurant?"
"Yes. The beach restaurant."
"I would love that."
"Okay."
"Okay."
The night is over and he takes me home. School again tomorrow.
