The Lucky One: Lil Sis Sequel

The Lucky One

Chapter Twenty

-Ali-

My eyes slowly open to a faint sound of a guitar and Taylor's voice hearing lyrics I've never heard before. Slowly, my mind starts to remind me of the events that occured yesterday and I smile. I had my first kiss yesterday, Michael asked me out, and I'm going on my first date, with him, today! I see that it's nine in the morning so I get out of the bed and walk downstairs to see what Taylor's working on.

She's been in sort of a funk with writing new music recently so I'm glad to see her slowly get out of the funk. I walk into her studio room and we talk for a few minutes before she asks me if I want breakfast. Of course I do, so we go into the kitchen where Ed is already eating and she makes the two of us something to eat.

"Can I go out at noon?" I ask slowly. I probably should of thought of asking Taylor when we alone and not, you know, in front of Ed. He's probably going flip out and say that I'm "growing up too fast."

Ed speaks up, "Why?"

Taylor smirks and I feel my cheeks turn a little pink. I turn to Taylor for a little help but she just laughs and does nothing to help me. I mumble with sigh, "A date with Michael."

"Of course you can, Ali," Taylor says with a soft smile. I finish my food and put my dishes in the dishwasher so I have enough time to get ready and calm down before the date. I don't know why it's going to be so early but I don't care. I mean, there's no certain time for a date.

What to wear?

I look in my closet and pick out high wasted shorts with a graphic tee that I'm going to tie in the front. I choose my Adidas shoes (that literally all basic teens have) and put it on. I don't want to be overdressed but I hope my not underdressed either. It's just a casual outfits for a causal date. Right?

Ugh, why am I so nervous that I'm literally questioning everything I'm doing? My phone buzzes and lights up. My face develops a grin as I read Michael's name across the screen. Quickly, I grab my phone to read his text and to reply back.

Michael: Morning, I hope you slept well :)

Me: Thanks! I did. Hey, is this something causal that we're doing?

Michael: Yup. See you in a few hours.

Me: See ya.

Thank god he texted me so I coul ask him. It feels weird to text him and worry so much about whats going to happen. My brain still isn't over the fact that we're like boyfriend and girlfriend now AND he kissed me all in the same night. See, if it was some other guy I probabaly wouldn't have wanted him to kiss me before we even went on a date but we've been hanging out almost like they were dates. Like, what's the difference?

I apply a little makeup, like I always do, but recently I've been wearing red lipsticks. People think I'm trying to copy my sister and her famous red lips, but hey, maybe it's just in my genes to wear it. "Perfect," I say as I put on the finishing touches.

Then I check my phone to see that there's an hour until I meet Michael at the park. I put on some YouTube videos to calm me down and in hopes that time will pass just a little bit faster. Sure enough, it does, and I have ten minutes before I meet him at the park. I grab my phone and put some cash in my pocket in case I need it.

If we were just going to Starbucks though I have money on my phone but better safe than sorry. Taylor stops me as I'm about to leave the apartment. "Bye Ali, be a good girl," she says with a smirk.

"I'm not five."

"I know," she says with a small laugh. "Have fun and text me if you need me, I'm going to continue working on that song."

"See you later," I say while opening the door. I wanted to be there early and the minutes were going by. Michael is usually early to places so I definetly didn't want to be late. That wouldn't make for a good first date, that's for sure.

He texted me a little bit ago telling me to meet him near the lake where we've hung out together before. It's pretty close to my house so I get there a minute before noon and I see him there, waiting for me. He always tries to be early, if he can, but he's human so that's not always possible.

"Hey," I say while my heart is beating at about a million beats a second. I can feel my heart race in my chest and I pray that I don't like nervous to him but, I most likely do. I smile and he smiles back.

Michael says, "Hey, I thought we could have a picnic here by the water if that's okay with you."

"That sounds great," I say which is when I notice him holding a picnic basket. He is literally the sweetest guy I've ever met. I mean, he packed us a whole picnic in this short of a notice.

"Also, I got you your usual," he says and he hands a Starbucks cup that he was holding in his other hand, making me grin.

I say, "Thank you so much!"

We eat the food he packed which was all amazing and talk about life. My nerves go away after a few minutes of talking with him because it doesn't feel any different from when we used to go out. We just... have a different label now, I guess. We stay there for hours but it feels like minutes.

I guess time really does fly when you're having fun.
