Jen POV

Josh has organized a date for us today. He told me that it was a "fancy" one. So, I needed to dress up nice. I got dressed in a formal short black dress and went out when I heard his car pull up.

"Hey gorgeous" Josh smiled, when he saw me.

"Hi" I smiled, shyly.

"You ready to go?" he asks

"Yes" I blush, and take his hand.

He leads me to his car and I take a seat on the passenger side.

"So, prom is almost here" Josh comments, breaking the silence.

Yes, prom is really close, one week to be precise. Josh hasn't asked me yet, of course we are going together but he just hasn't asked me.

"Yeah" I sigh.

"Are you excited?"

"Yeah, I am" I reply, looking out the window.

We get to our destination which is a restaurant, that does look fancy from the outside. We walk in, and take a seat.

"Josh, this place is so expensive" I whisper, leaning forward in my chair.

"It's okay sweetheart, anything for you" Josh smiles, and I huff.

We order our food, and talk. For some reason it feels different, like Josh wants to rush through everything.

Soon enough we eat our food, and then Josh takes us to the beach.

"Josh, I think it's going to rain" I tell him, once he helps me out of the car.

"I don't think so" Josh replies, looking at the sky. "Come on, let's talk a walk"

"Sure" I smile.

We walk along the shore of the beach, our hands linked together.

We get to a place where there is a bonfire, and something behind it but I can't see. Suddenly, it starts raining.

"Oh shit" Josh says, running away from me. I run after him.

"What? What's wrong?" I ask

The bonfire is out and everything is destroyed.

"I'm sorry Jen, I wanted to ask you to prom but it's all ruined" Josh frowns

I look behind him and see a sign saying, "Will you go to prom with me?" But it's all destroyed.

I laugh, making my way to Josh. Josh looks confused.

"Thank you for all this" I say, "But I don't need it"

"W-what?" Josh stutters, "You don't wanna go to prom with me?"

"No, I do. But you didn't have to do all this to ask me" I say

"But I wanted to make it special" Josh replies, taking me in his arms, the rain pouring down on us.

"You don't need to" I whisper, "Ask me"

"Go to prom with me" Josh states, I laugh, always so straightforward.

"Yes" I whisper, kissing him passionately.

...

It's prom today! I'm so excited! I bought a dress and everything!

Once I am ready, I hear the doorbell ring. I smile walking to the door, but my mom stops me.

"Hold on, honey" she smirks, moving to open the door.
