Who are U?

Twenty.

All the way here, I was feeling really, really bad about how I assumed that there will be no need in to buying something or doing things for my freshly new boyfriend, assuming that it is too early to start doing such thing. I'm so stupid and inconsiderate towards him and his efforts. Great Raven, way to go on your very first relationship.

He, in the other hand, he did what was supposed to be done as a boyfriend. He prepared something for me, he bought the clothes that I'm wearing as a gift, he bought me a damn Anastasia eye shadow palette something that I never thought that one day I would be able to own, he investigate my sizes, he made the effort regardless of how long have we been dating. He acknowledged me, us. As the guilt squeezes my chest, I turn to look at him while he's driving.

"Hey uh... I want to apologize..." I breath out.

"Hm, what? why?" He checks me out with confusion written on his face, then direct his attention to the road.

"I didn't think that we were going to celebrate this date or make something, that's why I didn't buy anything for you nor did anything for you. But you doing all of that, shows how much effort you put to make us enjoy this evening." I say caressing the hand that he had resting on my thigh.

"What? No, no, no. Babe that's okay, it doesn't matter, plus we don't have to treat each other on valentines day it can be any day any time." He brought my hand to his lips and kissed it.

"But you've done too much honestly, I feel like failed already."

"No, Raven stop, let's focus on tonight, beside you can still make it up to me. If you know watta mean." He looks at me wiggling his eyebrows.

I chuckle a bit, "Pervert." I tap his arm. But I did make a mental note as a reminder that I'll certainly make it up to him. I'll brainstorm some ideas that I have in mind later tonight or tomorrow.

"Good evening sir, m'lady, have any reservation tonight?" The waiter at the front politely greet us.

"Hello, uhh yes we do and it's under Kang, K-A-N-G."

"Sure, one moment please. Ah yes, table for two, would you please follow me." I don't know if I'm hallucinating, but the waiter was eyeing me but quickly composed himself.

As we walk I couldn't stop staring in awe at the different type of fishes surrounding us. It felt like we were inside of a big fish tank or I should say an aquarium. I love fishes, when I was little I would do anything to convince my mom to go downtown at Ripley Aquarium in Toronto.

"Here's your spot, with a closer view on our beloved species." The waiter smiles at us.

I say thank you, so does Daniel. "Hope you enjoy your time here with us tonight and someone will assist you shortly." He turns to me half smile half smirk. I had a frown on my face, then he leaves.

"This guy seriously stood there checking you out and flirting with his eyes, thinking that I'm stupid not to notice." Daniel said smiling but it was a forced smile, and he was talking with gritted teeth.

"I was wondering if you didn't noticed by how calm you've been so far, but thank you for being mature enough." I winked at him.

It took a lot of me not to call out the daring waiter. How can he do that to his client's date? Oh the disrespect and lack of professionalism. I mean, how could I blame him when you get to see a beauty such as Raven. She's beautiful inside out, she's just so... her. I can't get enough of her, I'm addicted to the sound of her laugh and when she pinches the bridge of her nose to help her stop laughing too much. I like when her fingers are too cold in class or anywhere, she would secretly put her hands inside her bra and seek warmth from her breasts —wish I could put my hand there all day— but jokes aside, she's amazing.
