The Start of Something
"Allison, do you ummm- do you like piano?"
"Why?" I asked him, staring into his soft blue eyes, trying to see who he really was.
"I was just wondering if you wanted to go with me to my niece's recital tonight with me." He told me looking down, seemingly interested in his shoes.
"Oh, I..." I started to say before he cut me off.
"No, I shouldn't have asked, I didn't really think you would want to go." After saying that he started to turn around.
"Yes, I like piano, and I would enjoy going with you."
"Really? I'll um pick you up around five." He told me sounding relieved "See you tonight then."

I rushed around my apartment getting ready. I finally settled on wearing a knee length black skirt with a blue shirt. I put in my favorite earings, silver with a star. Then after brushing my teeth, though first I put the tooth paste on the wrong side, I put on some mak-up... but not too much, seeing how I've been told with my natural beauty I didn't need to wear make-up.
The doorbell rang, I started to kind of run towards the door, but then I slowed my pace seeing as a lady never rushes.
"Hi."
"You look lovely tonight." He complimented.
"Thank you. Let me just grab my coat." So, as I said, I got my coat from the closet and we headed out the door.
We got into his new red convertable, his gift from a previous patient.
"So, what's your nice's name?" I asked breaking the somewhat awkward silence.
"Her name is actually part of your name."
"What do you mean, is it Allison? Ally? Cameron?" I said raising my eyebrows.
"No, it's actually your middle name- Anna." He said surprised that I didn't guess that.
"Is she named after anyone? I know my middle name is Anna after my great, great grandmother."
" Her mother, my sister, named her after Anna University, which is where she went."
"How old is Anna?"
"She's 9, and she is really good at the piano. Well, after all she did learn from the best." He said, which surprised me.
"I didn't know you played the piano."
"You do now though. So, you learned something about me, now let's learn something about you."
Sorry to leave it there, I'll update if you review and encourage me though.
