Tony parked in front of a roller skating building. "I haven't skated in who knows how long." Tony laughed and got out of the car walking to my side to open the door, "Let's refresh your skating abilities then." I took his outstretched hand and moved out of the car, "Gladly." Tony got us our skates and currently we were tieing our laces to get out to the floor. "You ready baby?" Tony held his hand out while standing. I tied my last knot and took his hand smiling, "Why of course. Let's get to the floor." Tony and I moved to the rink and quickly skated into the circle of people. A couple minutes later I was laughing as I helped Tony up from the floor because he had tripped over his front break making him fall onto his knees. "Hey it wasn't that funny." Tony said while he stood back up in front of me. His statement only made me laugh harder so I was crying and trying to speak. "Oh b-but I-it was mr pro s-skater." Soon after I said that Tony started laughing with me while playfully pushing my shoulder. I moved to the wall and leaned against it while I watched all the other couples and friends skate in a circle. Tony put an arm over my shoulders and asked, "What's going on in that mind of yours?" I leaned my head against his shoulder and sighed, "I'm just thinking about what would of happened if I never sat down on that bench that morning. What if I had left earlier or never stopped?" I looked up and over at him, "What would of happened if we never met?" Tony looked out at the rink seemingly in thought. "Well for starters I wouldn't be nearly as happy as I am now and would most likely still be grieving over my grandmother." Tony's grandma had passed that day and he went to the park to clear his head which led him to sitting next to me. "But I am so happy that I sat down on that bench and that you decided to talk to me." I smiled and leaned in to kiss him quickly. Pulling away Tony said, "How about we go back to skating so we can finish our date." I pushed off the wall and held my hand out as an answer. Half an hour later we turned in our skates and Tony was driving us somewhere. "Where we going babe?" It was already almost 10 but I didn't mind seeing that I had nothing else to do. Tony squeezed my left hand that he was holding and briefly looked over at me saying, "Just somewhere nice to end the night. Don't worry we are almost there." He lifted our intertwined hands and kissed the top of mine.
After 30 minutes we were pulling up to a turnout in the middle of nowhere. "We're here come on." He got out and opened my door for me grabbing my hand again and intertwining our fingers. We walked on top of the hill and saw the view of the whole town. My eyes widened in surprise, "Wow what a view." Tony walked us to the edge and sat us down. "I know I found it not too long ago with a friend of mine. We went driving and he blew a tire stopping at the turnout. While he was fixing the wheel I climbed this hill and found the view. Naturally I thought to bring you here because I know how you like views and the night, I thought this was a perfect mixture." I smiled leaned in kissing him softly and pulled away, "Thank you for showing me this and taking me here. And thank you for the amazing day today." He smiled and kissed me slowly again. When breathing became a problem we both pulled away and I leaned my head against his shoulder. It was midnight by the time Tony and I made our way back to our apartment complex. Tony had walked me to my door and kissed me goodnight, "Sleep well baby I hope you enjoyed our date as much as I did." I smiled and pecked his lips once more before opening my door, "Of course I did and I'll see you tomorrow for the sleepover." Smiling he took a step back and nodded. Waving to him I closed the door and locked it knowing Victoria was asleep. I took of my sweater off and hung it on the coat rack before making my way to my room slowly. Once there I turned on my light and jumped when I saw a sleeping Victoria on my bed. Jeez Vic, way to give a girl a heart attack. I sighed and noticed she was holding onto my pillow tightly. Raising an eyebrow I also noticed her eyebrows were furrowed and she would jump occasionally. She's having a nightmare. I quickly stripped my clothes and changed into spandex shorts and a big T-shirt and turned off the light joining Victoria in bed.
I laid behind her so I was the big spoon and wrapped an arm around her waist pulling her to me. I could feel her tense up before slowly growing comfortable. I moved my arm that was around her waist to her hands that were still gripping my pillow. Good thing I have three pillows. I grabbed her hand and ran my thumb along her knuckles to try and ease her grip on the pillow. My plan had worked a couple minutes later and she finally released the hold on it and grabbed my hand instead. Wow this must be a disturbing dream. I need to get her comfortable or she's not going to still be asleep for very long. Using the hand she was holding I slowly turned her body so she would face me and moved my left arm under her head as an extra pillow. I let go of her hand and moved it back to her waist so I could pull her into me. Unconsciously she moved so her head was in the crook of my neck, her hands grabbed at my shirt, and she tangled our legs trying to get as close as possible. Hopefully this will work. I rubbed soothing circles on her back while I rested my head on the top of hers with my eyes closed. Eventually she was sleeping peacefully and completely relaxed in my arms which made me able to sleep peacefully. Buzzzzz, buzzzzzz. Slowly opening my eyes I could see my phone on my nightstand with an incoming call from Marcus. Reaching over without disturbing Victoria I answered the call.
"I'm outside are you ready?"
Pulling my phone away from my ear I noticed it was 8 in the morning.
"Give me a couple of minutes and I'll be down."
"Okay see you in a little."
I hung up the phone and sighed looking down at Victoria. She moved a couple times throughout the night but other then that she stayed peacefully sleeping. I hadn't fully slept which I knew I was going to regret considering all the things that needed to happen today. Carefully slipping out of our tangled limbs I got myself ready for training. Once I was changed into shorts and a tank-top I went downstairs to the street to climb into Marcus's car. "Sorry I took so long I didn't get much sleep last night. I got home from a date late and Victoria was having a bad nightmare." Marcus put his hand on my shoulder, "Hey it's alright are you sure you still want to train?" I nodded and Marcus took his hand off and started the drive to the training center.
