Me: Did you know that we were the first relationship of the group and we havent even gone o a first date?
Love: What? No way!
Me: Im being serious!
When Mark and Lila left, I started to think about what he had said. Then I realized that Rachel and I have never gone on an actual date. Weve gone on group dates but never one with just the two of us.
I wanted to make this mind-blowing.
I took Marks lead and put on a nice polo shirt and some dress slacks. I put on some dress shoes and called up Braydon.
"Hello?" He answered.
"Can you help me?" I pleaded.
"Dude, whats up?"
"I need you to bring me to the florist downtown."
"Be there in five." He hung up but my phone vibrated again.
Love: Well? Are we going to change that?
Shit! What do I say now?
Me: Ill think about it.
Fuck! Now shes going to be pissed!
Love: Oh Ok then.
Oh great, shes upset. This is worse than her being mad. A honk brought me out of my paranoia. I went out to Braydons car and I filled him in on our way there. We went inside and I went up to the desk.
"Can I get 11 red roses and one white rose? All individually wrapped please?" I asked quickly.
"Sure thing sweetheart!" She said with a smile. "Will your friend want anything?"
"Um Sure. Can I have a dozen white camellias?" Braydon ordered.
"Do you have those little cards?" The woman nodded. "Can I get 12 of those and a pen if thats possible?"
She handed me everything I needed and I wrote down everything I wanted to.
"Where to now?" Braydon asked.
"Home."
We went home and I handed Mom a flower to give to Rachel.
Go to the kitchen where the pancakes are made.
On my way out I sent Rachel a quick text.
Me: Come over
Then we left for Bobs Diner. I dropped off the next rose with Grandpa Tio.
I fell head over heels for you. If I was on a trampoline, Id have done twists and flips.
The next place we went was the indoor trampoline place where I left it with the clerk.
So now Ive jumped for you. Maybe Ill work out for you.
I looked down at my phone when it vibrated.
Love: David? What are you doing?
I sent back a smiley face. Next, I went to the gym where I normally worked out. I left the next rose with my trainer.
I hope these flowers are lifting your spirits like I lifted these weights. Maybe Ill score some goals like I scored you.
I went to the local park and taped the flower to the goal post of one of the soccer nets.
The greatest goal Ive ever scored was you. I promise to shout it from the roof of that building right there.
I went over to the stage and left the next flower. I have to say, Im very proud of myself.
I couldnt reach the roof so I settled for the stage. I hope you havent given up and gone home. Actually, maybe you should, thats where the next clue is.
I went over to the Winchester household where I dropped off some roses. I left the first one with Kayli.
Id thought Id say hi to your mom before getting on my knees for a goddess.
I walked over and had Andrew sit on the couch with a rose.
An angel stood before me that day, but a demon stood behind, guarding her. Thought Id say hi to your dad.
I went to Raven and begged him to hold it for me. I ended up paying him $10
Yup, still scary. Thought Id go to where I told you I loved you.
I went to the hidden room and left a rose. I heard the front door close and I swore in my head, I had to get out without Rachel seeing me.
When I said it, I meant it. Ill be waiting in a tux at the altar of your dreams.
I got out without her noticing me. I heard her laugh as I left and a smile immediately took over my face. I went to the church that Rachel used to fantasize about when we were younger. I asked Father Tom to hold it for me which thankfully, he did.
I'm sorry, I just think Im too young! How about lunch at Bobs?
So thats where I went with my one white rose, I sat down in a booth and waited. A smile was plastered on my face. After about 15 minutes of waiting for her, she walked in with all of the roses. She was in a white sundress and I almost wished that I stopped at the church.
"You're a dork." She said with a smile. "What is this?"
"Wait I still have one more." I handed her the white rose.
How was the first date? Ready for the second?
She laughed and looked at me. I sat her down with a smile.
"Hungry?"
