"No, it don't matter what we've been told

I can see the skies are gold
Yeah, it's just you and me and open road, let's go

I don't see no red lights, just a wild ride
You're my getaway, you're my getaway
Tonight I'm gonna be alright
You're my getaway, you're my getaway tonight"
 Friday came, the week went by pretty fast, surprisingly. As I was getting ready for our date, my brother called me
 'Are you going anywhere today?'
 'Yep, I have a date in a bit' - I answered feeling good about myself
 'I see, don't forget the rubber' - he said, typical of him, always joking around with that stuff to embarrass me. We have this kind of relationship, we have each other's backs, always ready to protect each other, but we also mocked and taunted each other so it's a great relationship, I love it.
'Shut up. Anyways, why did you ask?' - I replied with a fake annoyance tone on my voice.
'Oh nothing, just thought you'd like to hang out with me for a bit' - he answered
'Maybe tomorrow if you want' - I suggested
'Nope, got work tomorrow, I'll call you another time, see ya' - he urged
'Alright, see ya' - I responded
As I finished getting ready, I said goodbye to my mother, and left. I then proceeded to start my plan, I had my dad pick me up and picking her up to take us to the amusement park, except he didn't come in any normal car, he came in my other brother's Jaguar XJ, which is a really classy car. As we arrived at her home, I texted her
 'I'm here!'
 'Come on up' - she replied
 'Why? Are you not ready?' - I interrogated
 'I am, I just want your help with something' - she insisted
 'Alright, open the door' - I answered
 "I'm going up, just wait for a bit, she needs my help" - I explained, he just nodded and I headed up. When I got to her door, I knocked on it, she opened it almost immediatly
 "Hey!" - she exclaimed, excited.
 It took me a while to answer as I took in her figure, she was stunning, she was just with a plain T-shirt and some jeans, but she just looked so gorgeous, so perfect.
 "Wow..." - I managed to say, I sort of exhaled it
 "Cmon, are you gonna stand there gawking me all day or are you coming in?" - she urged
 "Sorry!" - I pleaded as I made my way in - "What did you need my help with?" - I questioned
 "I need you to help me choose which sweater should I take!" - she declared
 "Oh alright then" - I answered as we made our way to her bedroom, her bedroom wasn't something reaaaaally girly, it was just a normal room with a bit of girl stuff on it, nothing really special. 
 "Which one of these do you think suits me best?" - she asked as she showed me three sweaters, a green one, a red one, almost as if a wine-like red, and a blue one.
 "With your current outfit? I'd go with the red one, even though you look perfect in any of these" - I said while pointing to the red one, blushing a bit after complimenting her
 "Oh stop it!" - she exclaimed as she picked the red one up and put it on, over her current T-shirt - "How do I look?" - she questioned as she did a little spin. I just stared at her for a bit, looking into her eyes, and to her lips, gosh she just looked so beautiful, she always does, I just wanted to hold her and be with her for the rest of my life
 "Absolutely gorgeous" - I replied sincerely. She blushed a bit and then urged us to go, it was almost 6:30PM so we had about thirty minutes to get to the park, not that it was a problem with the car my dad was driving (Trust me, that shit is faster than it looks).
 As we made our way to the entrance of the building, she saw the car and said
 "Going to the amusement park on that thing would be awesome" - she declared
 "Well, guess you'll have a blast while we ride it then" - I replied with a grin on my face
 "NO WAY!" - she exclaimed, surprised with the fact that I had gotten a car that expensive to drive us there - "How?!" 
 "My dad, he asked my brother if he could borrow it, since my brother owns a car dealership he didn't really mind, so my dad will drive us there in that" - I explained - "Hope you don't mind my dad driving us, it's just I don't really have a driving license to do so" - I added
 "Nah, don't worry. Let's go!" - she ordered as she pratically sprinted towards the car, we both got into the back seat and we all headed to the park.
 During the trip we were joking around, laughing, while listening to some music, after some time, I decided to see if she was ticklish, I started tickling her and she started to laugh uncontrollably
"STOP!" - she pleaded whilst laughing
 "Make me" - I answered, a sly grin appearing on my face, and that's when she surprised me, she grabbed me and pulled me to her, to prevent my own fall I had to put my hands on either side of her head, so I was basically on top of her
 "There, now you stopped" - she retorted. I could feel the tension between us, I wanted to kiss her so badly, but I shouldn't rush things, so I just let my head fall to the side of hers and I let myself all on top of her
 "Nooo, get off me" - she pleaded
 "We're here" - my dad announced
 I got off of her, she stuck her tongue out playfully, and we got out of the car. We both said goodbye to my dad, and I thanked him for everything.
 As we entered the park, we saw there wasn't that much people there, strange for a Friday night, especially knowing most classes had ended already, but we didn't care, we just wanted to have fun. We went to almost every ride there was, as we approached our last ride, the ferris wheel. 
 "This one is one of my favourites" - she declared as we waited in line
 "It's one of mine as well, I love the view from up there" - I said as I looked up at it
 We entered the ferris wheel a few minutes later, and when it started going up I just looked at her, she was looking out the window. She just looked so beautiful, and the night sky only complimented her looks
 "I love you..." - I whispered
 "What was that?" - she asked intrigued
 "Nothing, nothing" - I brushed it off. She looked me in the eyes, her hazel eyes making me melt slowly
 "Thank you..." - she said 
 "For what?" - I inquired
 "For everything, the first date, the moments we spent together, and this date. I loved every single of them" - she responded
 "It was my pleasure, as long a it is with you, everything is worth it" - I explained with a smile on my face.
 Then it happened, she moved forward a bit, she was sitting across from me, and I moved closer as well, our faces inches away from each other, and it happened, I moved a bit forward and our lips met for the first time, months of love bottled up inside of me were released with the simple touch of 2 mouths. She kissed me so sweetly, it tasted like strawberries. I didn't want to stop, I wanted to keep kissing her forever... We grew even closer that moment, and my love for her just kept on getting bigger and bigger, my heart just wanted to burst out my chest and be the one kissing her. We kept on kissing for a bit and when we stepped away we looked at each other's eyes and we could see the pure raw emotion flowing through us.
 "I've been waiting for this moment for months now..." - I exhaled
 She just smiled and blushed a bit, then she sat back down, I sat beside her and she rested her head on my shoulder as we appreciated the view. When the ride ended, we made our way out of the ferris wheel and headed to the little river near the park and sat down on one of the benches near it, just contemplating the night, while waiting for my father to come pick us up. We stood there enjoying each other's company, her head resting on my shoulder and my arm around her.
 A few minutes later my dad texted me saying he had already arrived, I let her know and we headed towards the exit of the park. The ride home was pretty quiet, we didn't talk much, we just looked at each other a couple of times and smiled. When we got other home, I walked her to her door, I was expecting her to turn around and say goodbye, instead she turned around and pulled me into her, our eyes locked with each other, she put her arms around me and kissed me, I was a bit surprised but kissed her back and put my arms on her waist, slowly pulling her towards me even more, I just didn't want to let go. We made out for a bit and then she detached from our embrace and said:
 "Thank you for the most wonderful night I've had in my life" 
 "It won't stay that way for too long, I plan on outdoing myself and giving you a whole lot more of nights to remember" - I declared, she smiled as I said this and headed home, I made my way to the car, feeling my heart threatening to burst out of my chest, I finally had a taste of happiness, and I wanted the whole of it.
 "The morning light shines a lifeline

Escape is what I need
I should've listened last night, girl
This is beyond belief
That we keep falling for the lure of
Liquid confidence and lights
And we skydive from walls we built
Dying just to feel alive

On the way down screamin'

Woah
If all we have is time, then we'll be alright
It's not much, but it's better than nothing
We're running on fumes, but we'll make it through the night
It's not love, but it's better than dreaming"
