It was Friday morning. Francisca and her parents were having breakfast.
"I have plans with Sophia tomorrow night." Francisca said. Which was a lie. She had her date with Jonathan.
"Just make sure you call if you're gonna be late." Eduardo said.
"What are you girls doing?" Josfina asked.
"We're going to the movies." Francisca said.
Francisca and Jonathan had been talking every day since the first call. They both looked forward to talking to each other. They'd really gotten to know each other.
That night Francisca just laid down to go bed. She decided to call Jonathan to say goodnight.
"Hello?" He said.
"Hi." Francisca said.
"Hey, I was just thinking about you." "How was school today?"
"Good."
"Did you make a lot of tips at work?"
"Yeah." "Did you and Joshua win tonight?
"Yeah."
"Good."
"I can't wait to see you tomorrow."
"I can't wait either." "I just called to say goodnight."
"Goodnight." "I'll see your beautiful face tomorrow night."
The next night Francisca had just arrived at the restaurant she and Jonathan agreed to meet at. She bought a new red dress for the date. When she went up to the table Jonathan was sitting there. He stood up.
"Hi." She said.
"Hi." They hugged. "You look beautiful."
"Thanks." "You look nice."
"Thanks."
They sat down. The waitress came up to the table.
"Can I start you off with cocktails?" She asked.
"Well I can't." Francisca said. "I'm not twenty-one yet."
They were eating and talking.
"Francisca, I would like you to be my girlfriend." Jonathan said.
"I'd like that to."
Jonathan walked Francisca to her car.
"I had fun." Francisca said.
"Me to." "There's something I've been wanting to do." He kissed her. She kissed him back. "Text me when you get home." "I will."
"Bye."
"Bye." She got in her car and drove off. She knew she'd have to tell him her age eventually. She just hoped he'd stay with her when she did.
