Ellies P.O.V.
It'd been two weeks since Soda had invited us to move in with him and his brothers. I'd honestly never seen Emily so happy, and I don't know if I'd ever been this happy either.
Christmas was only a month away, and I couldn't decide what to get Emily. She wasn't very picky, but I wanted to get her something she'd really like. It'd been a rough couple of weeks, us moving to a new place and making new friends.
"Hey El, you wanna take a walk?" I looked up to see Soda standing by the door, smiling that smile that'd make the girls swoon.
"Sure, just let me get my coat." I agreed. I told Emily I'd be back soon and thanked Pony for watching her. Soda held open the screen door for me and followed me out. We walked down the street in a comfortable silence.
"Nice weather we're having huh?" Soda joked breaking the silence.
"Wonderful." I said laughing. Lately, the daily high had only been getting up to 30 at the warmest.
"I didn't bring you out here to talk about the weather though." He said throwing his arm around my shoulders.
"Well, what other reason could there be?" I joked, putting my hand over my heart dramatically. He laughed, then got serious again.
"I was actually wondering if you wanted to go on a date with me sometime." As soon as the words left his mouth, all I could think was Sodapop Curtis was asking ME on a date.
"I'd like that. A lot." I smiled. He tightened his grip on my shoulders pulling me closer. I wrapped my arm around his waist, happy on how a simple walk managed to make my week.
Sodas P.O.V.
I honestly had to restrain myself from doing a happy dance or fist pumping when Ellie said yes. I planned on taking her to the Dingo. It wasn't much, but I knew she wouldn't want anything fancy.
The next night she came down the hallway wearing dark jeans, converse, a t-shirt and a leather jacket. The way she dressed reminded me of Dally, even though she really didn't act like him. Thankfully. But I couldn't help but notice how beautiful she looked.
That night was one of the best nights I'd ever had. We didn't do anything. We just got burgers and talked. But it was enough.
"I had a great time." She said as we were walking back home.
"I did too. But I still have one last question." I said stopping here. She raised her eyebrows, still smiling.
"Ellie, will you be my girlfriend?" I asked. She's going to say no, I know it, I thought to myself.
"I'd love to."
And I kissed her. And she kissed back. It was amazing. Then I felt something wet on my face. We pulled apart, looking up at the sky.
"It's snowing!" She said giggling like a little kid. I hadn't noticed we were in front of the house until the gang burst out of the door. They were hootin' and hollerin' and throwing snowballs at each other. It'd been a while since they had seen snow. Ellie was giggling and watching Emily chase Dally around, trying to hit him with snowballs. It was weird to see Dal actually smile and have a good time. I kissed Ellie again and decided something.
It wasn't one of the best nights of my life. It was the best night of my life.
