Stella rolled to her side in her bed on Saturday and sighed. Tonight was her date with Brandon.
She stretched and blinked twice. She got up and picked up her phone and dialed a number.
"Hello?" A voice said.
"Blooooom." Stella moaned.
"What?" She said haistily.
"Well someone is grumpy," Stella gofted.
"Sorry... just kinda tired." Bloom said.
"Oh, s'okay. My date is with Brandon tonight," Stella raved.
"Yay..." Bloom yawned.
"Ok, fine. Thanks for the support. Bye," Stella said closing her phone.
When the clock switched to 5:58, a knock came on the door.
Stella ran to it in her purple long sleeve shirt and white shorts, holding her jacket in her arm.
"Hey," Brandon smiled.
"Hey," Stella said.
"You look really pretty," He said blushing.
"Thanks," She smiled shyly.
"Shall we," He said motioning out the door.
Stella smiled and closed the door and followed him to his bike. She put her helmet on as he did and they zipped off quickly. The cold air was not as cold as last night as they zipped to the beach.
"Brandon, it's like 50 degress!" Stella said shivering.
"I know," He said picking up two light blue blankets.
"Ohh smart boy," She said sitting down on the warm sand. Brandon drapped one around her shoulders and did the same for him.
They talked an hour or two and laughed together, watching the sunset.
It was dark as the sun hid smuggly under the Earth.
"It's getting a little too dark, want me to get you home now?" He said rolling onto his side and staring at her.
She yawned and smiled back. "Sure," She mumbled.
He got up and let her keep the blanket wrapped around her as they drove home.
"Thanks for a great time," She said smiling shyly.
"My pleasure," He smiled. She leaned in and pecked his cheek and he smiled widely.
"Good night Stella," He smiled and walked back to his bike.
Stella smiled and watched him drive away. When she pushed the door open, 4 pairs of eyes were glued to her. Stella looked around and took 2 steps to the side shyly when Musa jumped onto her and pinned her to the ground.
"You're not going anywhere," She said with a grin.
"Noo!" She said sarcastically.
"What happened Stella?" Flora said looking at her smile.
"It was a really romantic date, we went to the beach, blankets, talking, sunset..." She said looking off in the distance.
"Wow," Bloom said helping her up.
"I need some sleep," She said hugging Bloom and walking to bed.
Stella sat down on her bed and pulled out her phone and saw it blinking.
"Hello," She said not glancing at the caller ID.
"Hey Stella, it's Brandon. You forgot your jacket." He said.
"Where are you?"
"At the bottom floor in the lobby," He said.
"Ok, bye," She said hanging up and sprinting down the stairs.
Stella saw him holding a gray jacket and he turned around and smiled. "Hey! Here you go," He said handing it to her.
Stella smiled, "Thanks," and leaned up and kissed his lips. she bit her lips and walked up the steps.
"Wow," he said breathless. "I do," he mumbled.
