As I ran down the stairs I couldn't help the smile forming on my lips. I remembered the last time we had kissed and it sent a tingle through my body.

I opened the door and froze. He looked absolutely dashing. He had a grey t-shirt on paired with black jeans and not to forget a brown leather jacket! 

Thankfully he didn't see me gawk as he was leaning on the porch railing looking at his hands. I quickly composed myself and cleared my throat.

He turned and his eyes became wide open once he laid his eyes on me making me blush. He took his time to take in my appearance and I became slightly uncomfortable under his stare as his eyes moved slowly from my face to my feet and back up. 

When he finally looked up he smirked his approval making me grin like a four year old. I made a mental note to thank my mom again.

"You look gorgeous." He moved towards me slightly breathless.

"You don't look so bad yourself." My heart beat was erratic by now. His breath was fanning my face and his eyes stared into mine. They flicked once to my lips making me breathless and he chuckled at my reaction.

Embarrassed I moved back to put a little distance between us. Being that near to him messed up my brain. 

"Let's get going?" He asked offering his hand. 

I nodded and took his hand. 

Once we were inside the car my nerves started acting up again. And his calm composure caused me to start panicking. I squirmed in my seat and started to sweat profusely. He turned to look at me and became worried.

"What's wrong Aria? Are you alright? Do you want me to stop?"

I just shook my head afraid to speak. I usually start blabbering when I panic and I don't think that's a good idea right now.

"Aria. Look at me." Sean put his free hand on mine and I felt an immediate calming effect. 

I looked up slowly and saw worry written all over his perfect face. His eyes reminded me of the ocean on a sunny day and I got lost in them. I didn't even realize that we had stopped till he put both his hands on mine making me look frantically at the road for approaching dangers.

"Hey. Tell me what's wrong?"

His question brought back my fears but not with the same intensity making it easier to talk.

"Nothing." I mumbled looking down at our hands.

"Aria.."

"Okay okay. It's just that I am worried."

"Worried about?"

His eyebrows were pulled together causing a deep crease to be formed in between. It looked beautiful.

"Um. What if yourparentsdon'tlikeme?" I couldn't speak slow. 

"Pants don't lie me? Aria. Speak slowly."

"I said what if your parents don't like me?" I stressed on each word to make sure he got it all. When I was done he started laughing. I mean seriously?! How can he laugh when it felt like a life or death situation to me.
