A 17 year old boy was standing barefooted in the shallow water of the ocean...he was repeating the same sentence to the waves-
"Even if you touch my feet a thousand times, I won't forgive you for taking my parents away."
It's been one week since I've officially been out of the hospital. Tonight I was taking Aleah on our first date. I was nervous as hell. I'd never done this before so I had no idea what to do. I had actually asked my aunt about this earlier in the week, and she gave me a few ideas.
Idea 1: We go to a fancy restaurant then to a movie Idea 2: We go on a picnic and just chill Idea 3: We go ice skating then for a walk later in the evening
I decided the last one, so I texted her.
Me: Hey! I was thinking that we could go ice skating? Then maybe a walk?
Aleah☺️: Sure! I've actually never been ice skating before
Me: Really?! You're gonna love it
Aleah: I can't wait
Me: Ok I'll pick you up around 5:30
Aleah: Ok see you then
I turned my phone off and started getting ready. After about thirty minutes and several times of asking Aunt Belle if I looked ok, I had finished getting ready.

I walked into the living room as my aunt turned to me. She gasped and put her hand over her mouth. I looked down, thinking that something looked wrong.
"Do I look that bad?" She shook her head and walked closer to me.
"No, not at all" she pulled me in for a hug and kissed my cheek.
"I love you, Aunt Belle" I smiled.
"I love you too, son" she smiled.
"Well you better get going, you don't want to keep Aleah waiting" I laughed.
"Yeah, I'll see you later" she hugged me one last time. I walked out of my house and to Aleah's. I just so luckily remembered where she lived and I made it to her place within five minutes. I knocked on the door, which was opened by the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.
"Woah" I stared in awe at what she wore.

She smiled at me and looked down.
"You look beautiful" I said, still in awe.
"Thank you. You look good too" I laughed.
"Gee thanks" she laughed along with me.
"Do you wanna come inside?" She asked. I nodded.
"Sure" she moved out of the way and let me in. I looked around her house. It was decorated with beautiful Christmas decorations.
"You already decorated for Christmas?" I asked, turning to her. She nodded.
"Do you like it?" I smiled at her.
"It looks beautiful" I looked around. She pulled me into the kitchen where I saw cookies. My face lit up and I grabbed one.
"Can I have one?" I asked her. She laughed and nodded. She walked into the living room as I followed her, stuffing the cookie into my mouth. I leaned onto the entrance to the living room. She sat on the couch and looked at me.
"What?" She asked.
"This cookie is really good" I said with my mouth full. She laughed and stood up, walking towards me.
"You got a little cookie in the corner of your mouth" she said, laughing slightly. She rubbed the corner of my mouth, me staring intently at her eyes.
"There ya go" she said looking into my eyes. She looked up and smiled.
"Look up" I looked up and was not really surprised by what I saw.
"Mistletoe" she said, as I looked back into her eyes. She leaned up, slowly, and placed her lips onto my cheek. She pulled away and put her head into my chest. I put my hand on her head and my other arm around her waist. She leaned her head away and looked at me, glancing at my cheek.
"Oops" she laughed, rubbing my cheek.
"Did you get lipstick on me?" I asked, laughing. She nodded, a big smile on her face.
"We better get going" I informed. She nodded and dragged me to the front door.
I was excited but nervous about the time I will be spending with a beautiful girl who has the heart of a lion.
