||Roman's POV||
I watched as Raleigh stood in awe as I held her hand. "Come on, lets eat." I led her to the picnic table. "Roman, I still can't believe that you went out if your way to do this for me." I smiled at her as I poured her a glass of champagne. "I'll do anything for you Raleigh. I'll be here for you if you ever need anything. Ever." I cut into the steak that was on my plate as Raleigh began to talk. "Roman...do you like me?? As more than a friend??" I was taken back by her question, I almost choked on the square piece of steak in my mouth. "Raleigh, I only laid eyes on you 4 days ago. But, yes. I like you more than a friend." Her face lit up, she smiled. "Roman..." She slid her hand over the table and into mine. I looked down at our hands and blushed, I've been waiting to feel her hand in mine. I squeezed her hand and she smiled. I let go of her hand and she continued to eat.
=========================
"Are you ready to go back to your apartment??"
"Yes. I'm getting a little tired." I helped her up and walked her to the car. I shut her door and walked to my side of the car, sliding into the driver seat. I put the car into reverse and backed up, as Raleigh reached for my free hand and held it. I switched to drive and squeezed Raleigh's hand in return. "Thanks for tonight Roman."
"You're welcome Raleigh. I loved spending time with you." She blushed and I smiled. We kept up with small talk and I kept my hand in hers until we reached the apartment complex. I parked my car in the parking garage and walked with Raleigh up to her room. Just as she was about to unlock her door I turned her to face me. I brought her face close to mine, kissing her gently, yet very passionate. She pulled away and hugged me goodbye. "I'll see you tomorrow Roman. Goodbye."
"Goodbye Raleigh. If you need anything, just call me." She smiled and disappeared into the room.

||Raleigh's POV||

I walked into my apartment and collapsed on the couch. What a great night. I picked up my phone and texted Kyle.

TEXT

Raleigh: Hey Kyle.

Kyle: Hey Raleigh, how was your date with Roman??

Raleigh: It was awesome. We kissed.

Kyle: On the first date??? Wow.

Raleigh: I know.

Kyle: Did you have a good night, what did you two do??

Raleigh: He took me to a park. We sat at a picnic table, under a blossoming Willow Tree. It was beyond beautiful Kyle.

Kyle: I'll have to have a chat with him about keeping my little sister safe. When are you coming home, Mom was wondering.

Raleigh: I'm coming home tomorrow, hopefully. Are you at Mom's??

Kyle: Yeah, I'm at Mom's. I'll see you tomorrow, bring Roman with you.

Raleigh: Ok, bye Kyle. Tell Mom I love her. I'll see you tomorrow.

I walked into my room and stripped of my dress. I got into some sweatpants and a tanktop, and laid down in bed and passed out minutes later.

***The Next Morning***

"Raleigh, OPEN UP!!!"

I was woken up by Roman yelling my name. "Just give me a second." I got out from under the warmth of my bed, and walked to the door, slowly. I opened the door and Roman smiled at me. "Good Morning to you too, Roman." He laughed and walked into the apartment, I followed him to the couch. "Why are you here Roman?? Why did you have to wake me from my sleep."

"You like it when I'm around you. I came because we have a whole day to ourselves...Yay days off!!"

"Speaking of days off, would you like to go with me to see my Mom and brother today??"

"Yes Ma'am. I'd love too Raleigh." I smiled and hugged him. "Ok. Let me tell my brother. When do you want to leave??" He looked at me for a while before answering, "In an hour lets leave."

"Ok, I'll tell my brother now." I walked into my bedroom and changed into my outfit.
TEXT
Raleigh: Hey brother. Roman and I will be leaving in an hour to come and see you and Mom.
Kyle: Sounds good with me. Love you!!
Raleigh: Love You!!!
END OF TEXT
I walked out of my bedroom and into the living room. "Ready to go, Romy??"
"Sure. Lets go. You lead the way." I grabbed my car keys and held Roman's to the car garage.
