Date night.
Toni's POV

I was super nervous about me and Cheryl's date tonight.

She told me to pick her up at her house. I was super nervous.

Her dad is very intimidating. Since he doesn't like me very much, I just feel unwanted.

I walked up to the steps, A single rose in my hand.

I ranged the doorbell.

Cheryl's dad opened it. His smile he had on his face instantly dropped.

"Hello, Toni. Um, Cheryl will be down in a second." He deadpanned. I nodded.

He stepped to the side, letting me in.

I looked down at my feet awkwardly as we stood in silence.

"I want her home by 9:30. No earlier no later. It has to be 9:30 on the dot." He said. I gulped with a nod, "of course, sir. I-I'll has her home."

"Good." He nodded, "I want her to come home with the biggest smile on her face." He added.

I nodded. "Dad! Stop scaring my date!" I heard Cheryl say.

I looked up at her, she looked beautiful.

She had on a red dress that stopped mid-thigh with red converses. Her glasses on her face, hair in a ponytail.

"Woah..." I breathed out, "Cheryl you look beautiful." I smiled in awe.

Cheryl blushed. Her dad cleared his throat.

"Remember what I said, Toni." He warned. I nodded.

"Have fun, cher." He smiled. He then left into what I assume was the kitchen.

"I'm sorry about him. He's just scared you might go back to your ways..." She sighed.

I took her hands in mine, " I promise that the 'old Toni' isn't gonna do that to you anymore. " I looked into her eyes. She nodded.

"Let's go on with our date!" I smiled.

Cheryl's POV

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"You'll see." She giggled. She pulled into the woods.

"Great, now you're trying to kill me?" I asked. Toni laughed.

"Why would I kill you? Your dad would kill me first." She joked. She parked off at sweet water river.

She got out of the car, opening my door for me.

"Thanks," I mumbled, pushing my glasses up. I do that when I'm nervous.

Toni lead me to a picnic basket and blanket.

"Wow, Toni. You could've just taken me to pops!" I said. She went all out, fairy lights, candles, she even had all my favorite foods!

"I'm taking a beautiful girl out. There's no way in hell I'm gonna pass on the chance to impress her." She replied with a smirk.

I rolled my eyes playfully.

"Let's eat!" She said, taking all the foods out.

She had sandwiches, pickles, watermelon slices, empanadas, cheesy bread, pizza, almost everything.

"My mom packed all this stuff." She shrugged.

"Well, your mom made a good choice." I giggled. She joined in.

Once our giggles died down, We started to eat.

"You have cheese all over you're mouth!" Toni giggled. I tried wiping it off.

"Here, let me do it." She grabbed a napkin.

She started wiping the cheese off my face, once she was done, she realized how close our faces were.

"You're beautiful. You know that?"

I nodded with a small smile, "I guess, "I whispered.

Her eyes went down to my lips then back to my eyes, " Can I kiss you?" She asked with a whisper.

I only nodded.

She leaned in, connecting our lips for 1 second before she pulled back, looking into my eyes.

She leaned in again this time she kissed me harder. I closed my eyes, kissing her back.

She places me her hand on my cheek, caressing it with her thumb.

She pulled back, whimpering from the lack of contact.

"Woah..." I whispered. I just had my first kiss with my crush.

"You're lips are so fucking perfect..." She whispered. I blushed.

She pulled her phone out, playing a slow dance.

"May I have to this dance?" She asked with a giggled.

"Yes." I smiled. She pulled me up, wrapping her arms around my waist, my arms around her neck.

"Ya know, my 4-year-old brother had to knock some sense into me?" She divulged.

I giggled, " what did he say?" I asked as we swayed to the music.

"He said, and I quote 'you can like who you want to like. Show people you can like who you want to like.' I was all like Woah I never thought of it like that." She chuckled.

"Wow." I huffed quietly.

We just swayed to the music.

HELLO DARKNESS MY OWN FRIEND!
