When I Met You | CHONI |

Chapter 15

When Cheryl walked through the door, she quietly shut it behind her and leaned against it, a blissful smile on her face.
'Well that was cute' Veronica smirked.
'You was spying on us?' Cheryl responded.
'Come on spill, what's going on?' Veronica asked excitedly.
'We're going on a date tomorrow' Cheryl squealed. She never felt like this about anyone before, she was so glad her friends supported her.
'Well we need to find you an outfit to wear!'.
Jason had dropped off some of Cheryl's belongings with Veronica so she at least had fresh clothes.
Cheryl ran upstairs to her friend, Veronica was happy to see her best friend finally smile. They spent the rest of the evening choosing a outfit for Cheryl and watching movies in bed.

Sunday morning arrived and Cheryl was excited for her date with Toni.

Cheryl got dressed, did her hair and make up, she was getting more and more nervous as time went on. She'd never been on a date before so she didn't know what to expect and Pops was the only place to grab food so she assumed they would be going there.

Before she knew it the doorbell was ringing, Cheryl took one last look in the mirror and let out a nervous breath. She walked downstairs and opened the door, Toni handed her a bouquet of flowers.
'Thank you Toni they're beautiful' Cheryl grinned.
'Beautiful flowers for a beautiful lady, are you ready to go?' Toni smiles.
'Sure' Cheryl said shutting the door. Toni helped Cheryl onto the back of her bike, once she was on herself Cheryl wrapped her arms around her. 'Where are we going?' Cheryl asks.
'You'll see' Toni started the engine and set off. When Cheryl realised they were getting futher away from the centre of the town she wondered where they was going. Toni pulls in at the bottom of a grassy hill, Cheryl is confused, there's nothing here.
'Close your eyes' Toni says taking Cheryl's helmet and putting her hands over her eyes 'watch your step'.
Cheryl could feel they was walking up hill, she still had no idea what was happening.
'Ok open your eyes' Toni said she was nervous as she wasn't sure what Cheryl would think to her idea of a date.

Cheryl slowly opened her eyes, she could see the whole town, everything seemed so small, the lights were beautiful. She looked to her left there was a picnic basket with cushions and blankets and a free standing projector screen with fairy lights around it. It was perfect, Toni was perfect.
'So what do you think?' Toni asked nervously.
'I love it, it's perfect' Cheryl said making her way over to Toni kissing her sweetly on the cheek.
'Come on let's eat' Toni smiled.
Toni set out the different plates of food and drinks and set up the projector. 50 first dates started playing on the screen. 'I hope this movie is alright' Toni sat down next to Cheryl. 'Perfect' Cheryl said placing her head on Tonis shoulder. They laughed and ate together, just enjoying being in each other's company.

Both girls were secretly overwhelmed with their feelings for each other, even though they hadn't known each other long they were so comfortable with each other.
'I'm so glad your here with me Cheryl' Toni whispered.
'Me too TT' Cheryl whispered back.
'TT' Toni thought to herself with a smile.
Toni turned onto her side to look at her date, Cheryl did the same. They both stared at each other in comfortable silence. Toni began to lean in, Cheryl closed her eyes and followed Tonis lead. The kiss was slow and sweet but filled with need and want. The girls pulled back leaning their foreheads against each other.
'I never want this night to end' Cheryl whispered.
'Me either Cher' Toni whispered back 'but as long as I'm with you nothing else seems to matter'.
Cheryl knew that she wanted to take things slow with Toni but she couldn't stop the words spilling from her mouth.
'Toni would you be my girlfriend?' Cheryl instantly held her breath as the words came out. It seemed like the world had stopped for Cheryl as she waited for Toni to answer.
'Of course Cher, I'd love that' Toni kissed her girlfriend easing her nerves.
