Central Park was the one place that I wanted to see of all the sights in New York City. So that's the place that I really wanted to meet up with Elliot. After a couple of stores I told my mom about meeting up with Elliot Alderson. For some strange reason, she said 'Ok' to the idea. All of the cousins wanted to see Central Park as well and were playing Frisbee out in the open, while I decided to go to a shady spot on one of the benches. I called the 'unknown' number and waited for Elliot to answer. "Hey-or-Hello. I'm here.", I said into the phone waiting for a response, but was met with silence. "Hello?", I asked again. "Hi. I'll be there soon.", was all I heard before I heard him hang up. "Ok. That was weird.", I said out loud. "So, just in case this guy is a nutcase, I'll be watching.", my mom said as she took her phone and walked away. But wasn't too far. "Thanks mom.", I rolled my eyes at her. All of the sudden I saw Elliot out of the corner of my eye strolling up to me. He had his head down like he was trying to avoid being seen. By 'who' I didn't know. Last time he was all dressed in black, this time he was wearing a blue stripped long sleeve shirt underneath his black hoodie. Was he dressing up just to see me? 'No, Tori. This is just what he normally wears.', I told myself.

I sort of smiled. I didn't want to get my hopes up. "Hey.", he said as he took a seat beside me. "Uh, Hey.", I tried to keep my cool because he was just so handsome. Out of the blue, he handed me my phone. "Th-Thank you.", I said as I took my phone from him, being careful not to touch him as I respected his 'No touchy' deal. (Even though I so desperately wanted to.) "Are you alright?", he asked me. 'Am I alright? Let's see. A gorgeous guy sits next to me and I can't touch him. I hardly know him and I want to get to know him better, maybe even date him even though we live miles and miles apart. My mom is super-controlling and thinks I need a baby sitter and I'm pretty sure all of my cousins are going to be talking about my new 'boyfriend' ever since.....dare I say the name again.....Phillip. I'm pretty far from alright...but still. This could be promising.', my mind was on hyper drive my heart stopped beating momentarily. 'What is it about this guy that does this sort of thing to me?', I thought, 'Or was it the fact that I was actually TALKING to a guy right now. It's almost as if I forgot HOW.'
"Oh. Me? I'm-I'm fine.", I wasn't a fantastic liar. And then I laughed. Not my usually controlled giggle, no. My obnoxious high pitched nervous quiver laugh. I wanted to kill myself. Right then. Right there. The smile died on my lips as soon as the laugh made it out. I cleared my throat awkwardly, realizing that I probably would never speak to this handsome man again. "So, thank you for this.", I waved my phone at him, "Most people probably would've taken it and never have given it back but you didn't. You did the right thing. So, thanks." I got up to leave, but he stopped me. "Hey, you wanna, go get dinner tonight?", he said awkwardly as he let go of my arm. I looked at him, stunned. "You....wanna have dinner with me?", I asked not believing what I just heard. "Yeah. I do.", he said nervously,"Gotta work on my social anxiety." I laughed nervously, "Y-Yeah. That sounds nice." I forgot. The family reunion. SHOOT! 'Oh he was worth it though.', my mind raced with excitement of the possibility of seeing him again. "What time?", I asked before he could speak. "Eight.", he smiled. He actually smiled. I could get used to that smile. It was a Disney prince smile if I ever did see one in person. "Ok.", I said as we kept on walking.
