It's Valentine's Day and I'm fucking freaking out. I shouldn't have said yes. I dont know what to do I'm scared. I'm all ready and we're supposed to mert in 5 minutes. The door belk rings and I'm shocked. I should have had 5 more minutes to panic. My mom tells me Elise is here and I walk down the stairs. I'm wearing a pink, blue, and, green floral dress. With a cardigan on top. The cardigan looks knitted and is grey. I'm wearing white converse and my hair is curled to top it off. My curls bounce up and down off my pale skin. I have no makeup on so my brown eyes look super bare and natural. I don't look at Elise as I'm walking down the stairs I'm too scared. When i get down the stairs and look im graced with her beauty.

She's wearing a bohemian dark pink clothes set. One piece a long sleeved crop top with stripes down the arm. One piece a mid thigh skirt with stripes down the side. She has her hair pinned back and is wearing white sneakers. We both stare and smile at each other for what seems like ever.

"Ready to go?"says Elise

"Um Yeah." I say nervously

When we arrive at Olive Garden mafter a silent car ride with Elise driving, we get seated. After we order our food Elise smiles at me.

"You look beautiful. " she says

"Thanks, you too." I say

She leans in and kisses me.

"Was that for fun." says Elise

"No." I say

She smirks. We get our food and we both go silent. She must love food too because when i get food i focus on nothing but that,

After dinner, we drive home. When we get to my place Elise starts talking.

"Wait." I say before she starts

"You know I know that you knew my name before you asked me because the teachet said my name to me in front of you. So therefore you were coming up with an excuse to talk to me." I say

I thought about this over dinner. Elise looks suprised.

Elise says after pausing, "Yup."

"Go on." I say

"Listen Amerie I know it hasn't been that long but, I really like you and I was wondering if you'd want to be my girlfriend. I think about you all the time. You're beautiful and I would love for you to be mine."

I sit with my mouth hanging open. Should I? J could have a relationship for once in my life. I just met her. I don't want her to hurt me. My mom once said : life is about taking risks. And I need to start living my life. Shit lets do this.

"Yes." I say

"Come here." Elise says

We kiss passionately. Cliche? I know. But it was awesome. We do this for two minutes and then i say goodbye and get out the car.

When I get inside, I lean against the door and take a big, girly, dramatic sigh. Best. Night. Ever.
