In the End

Chapter 3

[Emerson's POV]

I am laying in my bed sloshing around because it's fun when you have a water bed and I can't stay still just thinking about her. I wonder if I should go to her house and throw pebbles at her window. Maybe I should just text her to see of she is still up.

She is so beautiful. I hope impressed her. I know we just met and every thing but she just seems so perfect. I can't wait until tomorrow. It's gonna be amazing.  I was gonna text her first but she beat me to it and I was a little scared.

I fell asleep at around 3 I think. I woke up to my alarm and I was sure I looked as tired as I felt. My morning remedy helped me. Filled the sink with cold water and ice cubes and dunked my head in it for about fifteen seconds I wiped my face off and jumped in the shower. Washed my hair extra good and made sure it looked nice. I spent a little longer than usual picking out my clothes but I ended up wearing a black beanie, plaid shirt, shorts, and vans.

I don't know why I'm so nervous. She's just a girl. I have to be myself.

I made Finley lunch. It was quesadillas with chicken and cheese. I had one too they were really good. I did a quick mirror check, grabbed my keys, wallet, and walked out of the house. When I got in my truck I texted Finley saying I am leaving the house now. When pulled up she was waiting on her porch. When she walked down she looked so beautiful she was wearing a floral dress with a jean vest and cowgirl boots with her hair curled. I took her bag and walked around to open the door for her. I sat her stuff behind the seat and waited for her to climb in. She smelled like my garden. I walked back around and got in the car when she asked, "what is that amazing smell?" I told her I made her lunch and her whole face lit up. She told me I didn't have to do that but I wanted to I love cooking especially for her.

We drove to the bakery down the road called Charlie's. It was where my family got all of our baked things. Breads, cookies, sometimes he even gave us pizza dough. He was a nice man and we had become great friends. I walked up to the counter and greeted Charlie. He asked what we would like and I told him two of what I usually get and two saugsage biscuits. She wanted the biscuit but I wanted her to try something I loved and I would try hers. He handed us our bag and we went to sit down at the table. I took out the two biscuits and handed her one then I took out two of the most amazing tasting and smelling chocolate chip muffins. I handed her one and took the other. She ate both of them without complaint. So did I, her pick was great. Now that was out of the way. We got to school and to first period on time today. It was a normal day, if you count hanging out with a beautiful girl all day normal. And went on like that for the next couple weeks. I dropped her off at Mara's house Thursday afternoon. I'm not sure what happened and I didn't ask it was none of my business. Friday we have the football games and I thought I would ask her to go to the bonfire at my friend, Lane's house. She asked her mom and she said that was alright. I think her mom trusts me and likes me. I sure hope she does I would never try to do anything to hurt her.

I couldnt wait til the bonfire. I'm sure she will look amazing. She always does. Something just struck me. Does she think this is a date?

I'll have to get her flowers and we can eat somewhere before. Wait I should just ask her.

I pulled out my phone and texted her before I went to bed. I asked if she thought tomorrow was a date. I fell asleep waiting for a repsonse. I wasn't sure what to expect. I woke up the next morning hoping that I had a text so we didn't have to awkwardly discuss this in the car.

Unfortunately no text from Finley. I texted her on my way. She was waiting for me with a grin across her face. I didn't know what it meant. I was scared by now she just threw her stuff in the back whilebingot the door for her. As I sat down and got  ready to drive off she said, "yes if you want it to be." I couldn't help but grin.

She actually wants to go out on a date with me. I cant believe it.

I spent the whole day thinking about later on that day and the date with the beautiful girl. I ended up dropping her off at Mara's house.  I told her I'd be back in about an hour or two and I would text her on my way there. I went got her a bouquet of roses, grabbed chinese food to go, texted her I was on my way. She came outside in a black tank top with a plaid over shirt amd some jeans with black vans. Her hair was up in a messy bun. Looked like she was wearing no make up.

She looks even more beautiful naturally.

"Follow me," I said leading her to my car. I made sure to grab an extra sweatshirt for her in case she got cold. The bonfire was on Lane's family's private beach. I had asked Mara before hand what kind of chinese food Finley eats and she told me orange chicken with rice or chicken and broccoli. Personally I like almost everything so I got both and we gave each other a bit of both. As we sat on my truck tailgate at a park waiting for Lane to text me saying he was starting the fire. I made sure I got everything we needed for s'mores. Just for the two of us. "Hey we are starting now you can head over." He texted. I told him I would be over. I had no clue what the night would turn out like.
