I walk into my house dazed by the day. my dad is reading the paper at the table. i walk past him with that dreamy smile plastered on my face.
"so who's the girl?" he says without even looking up from the paper. I stop in my tracks.
"w-what" i ask taken back by the sudden question.
"oh come on you cant walk in looking like that if there's no girl" he says looking at me.
"oh this girl i met at the music store, Ally…..but we're just friends" I am quick to say trust me i know my dad. just friends is the way to go.
"right…" my dad says then returns to reading his paper. I ignore him and walk upstairs. That night I think of ally. She's so amazing. I wonder what we'll do tomorrow? Maybe I'll take her to the park. Ya that sounds fun. I settle on the park and fall asleep.
The next day I wake up around 11: 00. I take a shower and threw on a red T-shirt and jeans with my blue sneakers. I laugh to myself. I'm just like a girl. I have like 50 pairs of the same shoe in different colors. I go downstairs and eat breakfast then leave. When I get to sonic boom. I find ally sitting on a bench waiting. She is wearing bright red skinny jeans and a floral tank top with her hair curled perfectly.
"Hi" I say.
" Hi" she says back in her perfect way, standing up.
"So I was thinking we could go to the park?" I propose.
"Sure!" she says cheerfully. With that we walk to the park in silence. But not the uncomfortable silence you have on a first date, this silence was nice. She was so peaceful taking in everything around her as if she would never see the earth again. Smelling the flowers and the water droplets in the air from the fountain. I watch her in amazement with a huge smile on my face.
As soon as we arrive a puppy instantly runs up to ally. She kneels to the ground and pets it.
"Hi buddy!" she says
"where's your owner huh…. where's your owner." she asks in baby talk, petting it's head. I kneel down beside her. I feel her skin brush up against mine. I gaze at her in amazement.
"Do you have a toy" she says taking the ball from its mouth and throwing it.
"go get it!" she says and the dog darts off in the direction of the ball. She smiles at it then looks up at me.
"You're good with dogs" I say our faces close.
"Thanks…. I love animals so…." She says sweetly and I just smile dreamily at her.
Later we sit on a bench and look out at all the animals. She seems so one with the world. I gaze at her and watch as a bird perches itself on her finger and she sings to it. She truly amazes me. Eventually it flies away and she smiles widely at me. I just smile and stare at her.
"What" she asks.
"nothing... you're just special" I say dazed.
"Is that a good thing?"
"Ya" I say in a dreamy state. A really good thing. We stare into each others eyes for a while then we notice its getting late.
"I should get back to the store" she says getting up.
"Ok" I say standing up with her and we walk back to the store.
I start to inch my hand closer to her's, touching it softly with the tips of my fingers. She doesn't resist so I take her hand in mine. She looks up at me slightly shocked then back at our hands and she smiles at me. I smile at her. When we get to sonic boom she separates our hands and hugs me. I am a little shocked but I am certainly not complaining. I wrap my arms around her waist.
"I had fun today" she says when we break apart.
"Me too" I say smiling at her.
"I'd love to do this again sometime" she says. My face lights up.
"Sure! Any time you're free I'll make myself free" I say. She giggles sweetly
"I'm free Friday".
"Sounds great," I say smiling from ear to ear. I know I smile a lot but she makes me smile. She nods with a smile then walks back behind the counter. I watch her walk away then I leave too. I don't think I can wait till Friday.
