10. CONTEMPLATION

NPOV

She takes a deep breath...Noah as for tonight's date yes, I will go out with you. I smile at her, "thanks, Shelly." As soon as she walks away and closes the door, I start to dance around the gym. I couldn't help myself. Even though she has not told me, she trusts me, yet I know that her saying yes I am one step closer to her accepting still being my girl. I mind link the rents asking them to come to the gym with Justin, Lewis, and Rosalie.

Max: What is going on, Noah?

Me: Shelly agreed to go out on a date with me.

Mom: Really, when?

Me: Tonight.

Justin: Where do you plan on taking her.

Me: I am still planning on taking her to our special place, but first I want to take her to Hakkasan

Dad: Good going son; she has wanted to go there for a while now.

Rosalie: Dang Flynn did you know this about her.

Me: Yeah, the last time I came home she told me that she would like to go there for our first anniversary.

Max: Where is your two's special place?

Me: Max I would rather not say it is special to me and Shelly I don't think even Lee knows about our place.

Rosalie: What makes it special.

I couldn't help but gulp and smile

Me: It is where we first confessed our love for each other.

Max: That better be all that happened there, young man.

We all continued talking about what I should do to make my girl have no choice but to forgive me.

Rosalie: Of course, you are getting her roses.

I snorted

Me: Nope, I am getting her Lilies-of-the-valley.

Mom: Noah that is so sweet you remembered.

Rosalie: Really, Noah, you should get her roses to signal your love for her.

I watch mom shake her head

Mom: You don't understand Rosalie Elle will love the Lilies-of-the-valley more. There is a reason Noah is getting them for her.

Me: Just so you know it is because her favorite male character from literature is Gilbert Blythe, and he gives them to Anne Shirley, her favorite female character.

Rosalie: Oh, my goodness, she is going to faint. I can't believe I didn't realize that Elle loved Lucy Maude Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables. You are giving her the flowers Gilbert gave to Anne to let her know you are her Gilbert.

Me: Exactly, if it wasn't because one the rents would kill me if we left the country and two, I know Elle would want my mom their I would take her to Prince Edward Island.

Max: Noah, you do know my daughter so well. Please, son, make sure you do not hurt her again.

Me: I don't plan on it.

EPOV

I was so nervous when Noah asked me out for tonight mainly because I wasn't sure if I was ready to give him another chance. It didn't help matters looking into his eyes and seeing the pleading behind them. I kept thinking maybe I shouldn't but when I looked into his eyes as I started to say Noah as for tonight's date...I realized I couldn't tell him no. I still loved him with every ounce of my being not to mention that voice that has been popping up in my head was pleading with me to tell him yes. I am starting to get worried because the voice is coming more frequently and is getting louder and louder each day. At first, I thought it was my mom, but the stronger it gets, the more I realize that the voice is not my mom's. I think it is time I talk to Lee about the voice. I know he might think I am going crazy, but he is the only person I can trust.
