i've been a clippers fan for as long as i can remember and just like any other girl, blake griffin was my favorite player. i had only ever dreamed of being someone to him, but one day i didn't have to dream anymore.
Before I had the chance to answer, DJ and Chris were yelling at him to hurry up and he ran off.
You know that feeling when you get really happy and just smile to yourself and freak out a little bit? That's exactly what I was feeling.
I went back home and changed into some comfy clothes and turned on Netflix, waiting for Blake to text me. I was so nervous and anxious I checked my phone every 5 minutes.

6:17pm
Blake: hey beautiful, come meet me?
Emma: at the staples right?
Blake: you got it
I shut the tv off and ran to my closet throwing on something cute, but sexy at the same time. I was over not wanting to be "too eager" I was going to take every opportunity to impress Blake. This was the chance of a lifetime and I wasn't going to be the shy and quiet girl I had been all my life, I needed to put myself out there and I was willing to do that for him.
6:42pm
Emma: i'm here :)
Blake: i'll be right there
I sat in my car anxiously awaiting his arrival, I was so nervous, my palms were sweating and my heart was beating fast, as usual. I saw a car pull up next to mine so I fixed my hair and walked over towards Blake, who was getting out of his grey Tesla.
"You look...amazing." He said looking me up and down.

"So do you." I replied, winking at him.
He opened the door to his Tesla for me and even though I kept asking he wouldn't tell me where we were going.
"Don't worry I promise you'll love it."
I trusted him. Which surprised me because I barely knew him and it was hard for me to trust people.
We were in the car for about a half an hour, talking about the most random things, our favorite foods, colors, music, etc. He made jokes and I laughed and we had really good conversation. We pulled up to a large white building, I immediately recognized it.
"Blake! This is the Griffith Observatory!"
The Griffith Observatory is a planetarium in LA where you can go to look at the stars and planets, etc. I had always loved this place, and the fact that Blake brought me here made my heart happy.
"I had a feeling you'd like it here."
We both got out of the car and not even thinking, I ran over to him and hugged his waist.
"Blake, I don't like it, I LOVE this place."
"Good. We have it to ourselves for the rest of the night."
I couldn't help but ask him jokingly, "is this a date?"
"It's whatever you want it to be beautiful."
He put his arm around me and we walked towards the entrance and I couldn't help but think to myself...
"Emma don't get attached, don't get feelings, he's been with a lot of girls, you don't know if he wants commitment right now. Don't. Get. Feelings."
I brushed off the thoughts and looked up at him smiling.
...
We spent a couple hours inside looking at the stars and planets and sitting around talking. He was such an amazing guy. But I couldn't get feelings for him.
We had walked back to his car and were leaning on the hood still talking about the littlest, randomest things, but Blake suddenly got quiet
"What's wrong?"
He looked at me smirking, "Well..."
"Oh my gosh Blake, what is it?"
"I just really want to kiss you."
I smiled and took a second to reply,
"I don't know if that's a good idea yet."
"Come on, just one kiss."
Everything in me was telling me not to kiss him, but I couldn't help myself.
"Ill kiss you if you admit that this was a date." I said, smirking back at him.
"It was definitely a date."
He put his hands on both sides of my face and pulled me towards him, kissing me, he wanted it to be long but I cut it short, knowing in my head I shouldn't have done that, but the butterflies in my stomach were telling me something different, so I pecked his lips again.
"We should head back, you have practice tomorrow."
