18.

My nerves were everywhere and I was shaking rapidly. The press the door bell and heard the ding go through out the house. I regained posture and attempted to stop shaking, I felt the footsteps come closer to the door and I put my hands into my pockets.

The door swung open and let me tell you this, what I saw before me was the most beautiful human being I've ever seen in my lifetime. There she stood, in beige cropped pants and a white shirt. As simple as she was, she was beautiful, scratch that she is beautiful.

"Aiden? Hello?" She said questioningly snapping me out of my thoughts quickly.

"Yeah, sorry. Shall we?" I asked in a fake British accent smiling at her sticking my arm out for her to put around. She smiled at me before turning behind her.

"I'm leaving J!" She yells to me. She shuts the door slowly and wraps her arm around me.

"We shall" She answers in a fake British accent as well. We walk down the stairs of the house and walk to my motorcycle.

"You look beautiful this fine night" I said to her speaking continuously in a British accent. She looks at me before her cheeks tint to a shade of red and she looks down. I pull her close to me.

"It's okay, no need to hide" I say softly to her. She wraps her arms around me. She makes me want to protect her all the time. Most of the time, I wish I can but I can't. Once we reached my motorcycle, I helped her go onto it and take a helmet and gave it to her. I took my keys out and turned on the engine. We drove our destination with the sound of the engine surrounding us.

When we got to our destination, I parked the motorcycle and turned off the engine. I got off and helped Lily got off as well. She took off the helmet and we walked to the entrance. I looked down at her quietly and saw her smiling up at this place.

"You like it?" I asked her. She looks up at me and smiles, nodding at me. "I haven't been here...ever" She asked. I bought two tickets and we walked into the park. I stopped my tracks and turn to her, watching her do the same.

"Where to first?" I asked her. She looks down shrugging. "You choose" She answers. I bring her to the highest ride and we go on the line. She looks up at the ride and her eyes widen. She starts backing up to the point where she trips. She closes her eyes ready to fall but I catch her and look down at her. She slowly opens her eyes and looks at me. I pull her up and we walk forward the line waiting for our turn.

"It'll be okay Lily" I tell her. I slowly pull her closer to me and we walk toward the ride. We sit down together buckle up. "Just breathe-" I say to her.

"-In and out" I continue. She nods in response and we felt the ride move. We first off went up slowly, we got higher and higher and when we reached the top I felt Lily hold on to me.

And, down we went. Everyone screamed as loud as they could. Lily was screaming too, holding me like she was gonna fall if she let go. Me? I was smiling enjoying the ride, the whole way down. And after that, the ride was done. By the time we got off she was shaking so I pulled her softly to a nearby bench to calm down a bit. I gave her time to calm down and when she was, we continued to sit there.

I pulled her toward the Ferris wheel and we got on. I checked my watch, it was 8:30pm. We sat on opposite sides and waited for the cart to move up. When it did, Lily looked up at the stars, gazing at them probably thinking about how beautiful they are. I look at her and her features. The way her face glowed in the moon light, they way her eyes sparked with happiness.

She was just so....

Imperfectly perfect.

When the ride stopped the moon in clear view from where we sat. "Lily?" said quietly. She turned to me and looked at me questionably.

"How are you liking it? I asked shyly. She smiles at me in response. "It's nice, it's pretty different counting that this is my first date" She answered. I sat there shocked but reacted quickly. "Really?" I asked. She nodded in responded. "I'm honored...-" I said to her. She looked at me with a blank expression. "-just kidding" I tell her. She turns back to the sky and the ride proceeds to go down.

I sat next to her and try to pull her to me. She grudgingly takes my hands off of her. "Stop it" She tells me harshly. I back away from her, I flinched. I give it a minute to sink it in.

Don't give up.

I pull her into a hug and when she fights to pull out the hug I hugged her tighter. She finally stops pushing at one point and she just breaths heavily into my chest. We get off the ride and she still hasn't talk to me. We go around and find some type of food festival and somehow I find my way to fried Oreos.

Realization hits me like a cold bucket of water. She's mad at me. "Lily?" I said trying to get her attention but she turns her back to me. I quickly try to make her look at me but failed. I tried one more time and succeed. "Lily, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you in any way. I really didn't" I said to her softly. She smiled at me and my heart warmed for her.

I bring her to the fried oreo stand and bought some. "Fried oreos!" I tell her. She chuckles before trying one. She nods and wipes her mouth neatly. We walk out the park and I take her home. Once we get to her house I walk her to her front door.

"Thanks for today" She says quietly.

"No problem, I'm really really really sorry again" I said to her scratching the back of my neck. She smiles and nods.

"Goodnight A" She said.

"Goodnight" I said.

And that is how the date went ladies and gentlemen.
