But I Love Him

One

'When I first met you, I honestly didn't know you were gonna be this important to me.'

"Can we get two large chocolate chills please?" 

"Sure, that will be $9.50."

Dominick handed the lady behind the counter a 10 dollar bill while I headed over for the straws. I grabbed two straws, handing one to him.

"Thank you" He said flashing me a small smile. He must be nervous but that's okay, so am I. This is my first date with Dominick Black. He looked amazing tonight and that made me even more nervous. 

"Here you go, have a good night." The TimHortons worker said holding out two cups. We each grabbed one and thanked her heading towards a table in the corner. He set his drink down quickly and pulled out one of the chairs, motioning for me to sit. I could already feel the heat rushing to my cheeks as I took the seat.

"Thank you" I said shyly, focusing on unwrapping my  straw to avoid my cheeks getting even more red. 

'You're very welcome." He sat down in his seat across from me busying himself with his own straw. 

He was staring straight down into his drink so I took that moment to memorize every detail of how he looks. His hair is short on the sides and a little spiked up at the front, green and white plaid button up shirt, and dark blue jeans. He's tall; over six feet and has a slightly muscular build. He looked up and smiled at me, showing off a row of perfect teeth. His eyes are the most beautiful shade of blue, like the ocean and the sky had a love child. In short he is gorgeous, and I have no idea what he is doing here with me. 

I am very plain. I'm maybe 5'2, black hair, in a regular t-shirt and jeans. I don't have anything that makes me stand out against any of the other girls. 

After a minute of quiet he spoke "I'm glad you said yes to coming tonight Delilah, I was so nervous. You look absolutely gorgeous by the way."

"Thank you" I said trying to control my blush "I was surprised that you asked me out. I mean we didn't talk to much in person before this or anything." I let out a small nervous laugh.

"Well to be honest I noticed you a lot when we had classes together in school last year. I was going to talk to you but I was far too nervous."

I was shocked to say the least, I mean, I thought that he didn't even know I existed. 

"You should have said something, it would have been great to get to know you then. I have come to realize I don't know much about you. Want to play 20 questions?" 

"20 questions?" He asked with a confused tone "what's that?" 

"You've never played 20 questions?" 

"No, never" 

"Well basically, whoever starts asks a question and the other answers. Usually after that the person who asked will answer it too." I explained. "I can go first?" 

"Yeah sure." He said with a small smile playing on his face. 

I thought for a few seconds before deciding to start off easy. "Whats your favorite color?"

"Oh that's easy, it's blue. Like a sky blue." 

"That's a good choice. I would say mine is pink and black together. Like a hot pink or a neon pink." 

"Hey now black is a shade! That's cheating!" He said laughing. I joined in with his laughter and stuck my tongue out at him. "Okay I guess that means it's my turn. Hmm okay so whats your favorite animal. You get two choices, domesticated and non-domesticated."
