I paced my room back and forth it was almost time for the date, I slipped on a plaid skirt with a Lacy body suit, me and Remington had been texting pretty much all night and he told me what sort of thing to wear.

I moved into the living room with speed in my walk, I only live across the street from the park it wouldn't take me long to get there but I couldn't bring myself to leave to meet him.

Was it nerves? I had taken my anxiety medication in preparation for this. I don't understand why I was so nervous, yesterday I was in a hoodie and now I'm in full makeup and dressed up. What if he doesn't like my style? What if he leaves me and never talks to me again? 'I should go change' I tell myself going to walk down the hall but monkey sits in the way

"Excuse me little buddy, can I get passed?" I asked politely, it was stupid of me but instead he barked stomping his tiny, blonde paw on the floor.

"Please, I gotta change" I went to step passed but he tugged on the sleeve on my jacket pulling me towards the door. "Hey!" He brought his nose to the floor telling me to kneel, he was smart for a dog. Sometimes I wonder if he's secretly a human, how weird of me.

I kneel in front of him, he begins to lick my face. "Monkey! I took hours on this makeup! I had it perfect" He whines and nudges me towards the door.

It took me hours to get it just how I wanted it, should it matter if a stupid guy didn't like it? It should by my thoughts were telling me different.

I kissed the top of his head, "I'll see you later buddy, be good" I told him before leaving the apartment, I ran down the many stairs hoping I wouldn't be late to meet Remington. I crossed the street clutching my phone nervously.

I walked to the pond where we had planned to meet and took a seat at a bench close by, I scrolled through Instagram for a little to pass time.

6:16 pm

It was only 30 minutes, he's probably running late..

It didn't bother me in any way I understand not everyone is on time for things, I continued to bust myself with answering back snaps I was yet to answer and like a few more Instagram posts.

7:24 pm

I sighed standing to my feet, it was cold and I just wanted to cuddle up with monkey at this point. I got stood up..

I walked through the street lamp lit park towards the apartment complex. "Wait! Y/n! Please!" I kept my head down and kept walking, I could hear his footsteps coming closer. He was running.

I get his hand wrap around my arm pulling me around to face him, "let me explain please"

I sighed not wanting to look up from the ground, "it's okay Remington, I understand if you no longer want to go on the date-" I was cut off by his gentle touch on my chin. His pointer finger and thumb pushing my chin up to meet his gaze.

"No I don't.. We don't have much time, do you still trust me enough to let me take you somewhere?" I nodded slowly, his pale face finding a small smirk.

"Great, now can you run?" I tilted my head a bit confused at his question. "Yeah...why?" I asked slowly.. why would he need to know that?

"Let's go!" He grabbed my hand and started running, pulling me along with him. I squealed as we ran through the park, I could hear his perfect laugh through the empty park. How could a laugh be so beautiful? It suited him..
