Tonight I'm going on a date with Elliot. I mean do I really want this to happen? Do I even still have the same feelings I had back in summer camp? Is the fire still burning?

So many questions. So many doubts. As I try to erase my questions away from my mind. I took a deep breath, looking at myself in the mirror.

"You can do this. It's just one boy. One date." I said to myself trying to calm down my anxiety level.

My two feet walk over to my phone, and my purse. I took one more last deep breath. Exiting out of my room door frame. My feet go clump clump as I walk down the stairs.

I reach for the doorknob, there he was standing all handsome and what not.

"Ally, you look beautiful." He said.

"Thanks, you look amazing too"

"Shall we?" A smile creeps on his face. And all I can think about is Austin.

"Yes, by all means." I exit out of my house, shutting the front door.

Hopefully, this date won't be a disaster.

"So where are we going?" I said questioning.

Already I'm asking questions. Come on Ally.

"This fancy restaurant called Oranjee's"

"Sounds fancy" I said raising my eyebrow.

We made it to the restaurant. By the looks of this place, the money for the meals are expensive. The restaurant was so beautiful. It had red velvet wallpapers from right to left.

A chandelier hanging above the ceiling in the middle, fancy brown wooden tables, on top was white sleek table cloths including mini scented candles.

I sat down on the right, Elliot pushed my chair. What a gentleman.

"Thanks Elliot."

"You're welcome." Then he sits down on the left. "So how are the songs coming?"

"They are getting there. Austin and I have been working really hard" just saying his name make my heart crush inside.

"That's good. I mean his album is super good! You are the best song writer, those songs are so good."

"Thanks Elliot. How's the mechanics going?"

"Good. Really good." He smiled at me.

I didn't smile back. I mean this is destroying me inside, I thought I can go with it. Be happy. But I'm not. I feel guilty.

"Ally, are you okay?" Elliot said concerned.

I look up at him. "Yeah I'm fine." Not really.

The waiter comes up with two menus. "Good evening, what would you like?"

My eyes start searching. "I would like the carrot casuarina"

"And for you sir?" The waiter patiently waits.

"Yes. I would like the same thing as the lady" he looks at me, smiling.

Okay, what's up with this guy?

Be quiet. He's cute. He's a gentleman.

Yeah a total gentleman uhh creepy alert.

"Be quiet." I said.

Elliot was confused. "I didn't say anything"

I look back at him. "Sorry."
