I'm nervous, I have to stop thinking about it. Just go on with the date like nothing has changed and the ending will be fine. Well that is what I was thinking until Brendon showed me how to play mini golf, and then again when he lost to me but still won us ice cream. I love this man, I love him. So now what?

We sit down at the tables outside to enjoy our treat. Our bodies facing eachother as we straddle the bench. One leg on the inside, the other on the outside. I am wearing a dress so I sit side saddle to not flash anyone. I'm eating mine from a cup and he has a cone so he is licking this ice cream in enjoyment and I can't stop staring at his tongue. I take another spoonful and place it in my mouth to realize he is watching me also, but he stopped eating. "Addie I have something to ask you."

Oh god, that could be anything. Maybe he doesn't want us to do this anymore, whatever this is. Or maybe he wants more. Do I want more?

"You have ice cream on your face!" I blurt out and he smiles lightly. He grabs a napkin from the dispenser on the table, wipes his face and rolls it into a ball with his free hand. I watch as it flexes within his fist but I feel his gaze and return to looking him in the eyes. "Its been a couple months now," he pauses to place the napkin down and runs that hand through his hair. "And I know we were just like seeing what this is or could be, but I'm pretty sure I want something more. I like you a lot Addie, and I would love to keep spending time with you emotionally and physically. But if you aren't feeling this way that's fine I just need to know what to do and what you want to do, this way-"

"Brendon you're rambling, stop." He closes his mouth and watches me with curious eyes. "I like you a lot too and would like to keep this going. You're alot of fun and sweet and-"

"Addie will you be my girlfriend?" He rushes out and I see the excitement in his eyes.

Oh shit.

"Y-yes." He smiles so big, showing all his teeth and leans forward instantly. Good thing I had put my cup of ice cream down not too long ago because it would be on my chest right now. His lips connect with mine and they are cold from the ice cream. His tongue dips into my mouth and its sweet, creamy and really enticing. I kiss him back lightly to not get too heated. He pulls away feeling my resistance and smirks. "Maybe we should get out of here." I nod silently. He disposes of our unfinished ice cream, grabs my hand, and walks us back to the car. The sun is setting by this point and the cold is slowly creeping in. We get into the car and drive as the sun sets. Its quiet for several minutes between us except for Brendon's hand wrapped in mine as we drive. "Did you have fun?" Brendon asks, breaking some of the sexual tension between us. "I did actually, and I kicked your butt!" I rub it in that he lost once again and I've never played.

"Yeah, ok ok. I'll get you next time." He smirks at me briefly but his eyes go back to the road. His thumb rubs over in the back of my hand in calming circles and he starts humming to the radio that is playing quietly. I don't even know this song, but it is calming to be in this moment right now. I lean over and turn up the radio and its an oldies station playing Frank Sinatra. I know the voice just not this song. "You like Sinatra a lot alot, huh?" He smiles more. "Oh yeah, all time favorite." I nod and smile in return. "I guess mine would be Justin  Timberlake." He laughs, "I mean I can't argue with you there." He turns onto my street and I never realized how close to the mini golf course I actually was.

He pulls into a parking spot and the song ends, he turns off the radio and car and we sit there for a moment. "Did you want to come in?" I ask finally and he smiles down into his chest. He looks up through his eye lashes and if looks could kill. "Only if you want me to." He replies smoothly. "Yeah, I do."
