I was sitting in bed reading the latest issue of Cosmo magazine when my phone went off. I smiled when I saw his name on my phones screen, I answered it "Why hello handsome, how are you?" "I'm good, beautiful, how are you?" It's been like, two and a half weeks since I started seeing Beck, and it still gave me the craziest butterflies in my tummy when he said I was beautiful. We easily fell into light conversation for a while, after about twenty minutes Beck cleared his throat "So Tori, I called to ask you something.." he paused, and for some reason, my heart stopped, "Would you like to go to dinner with me tonight? Theirs this Thai restaurant I've been wanting to go to, but it's a little fancy, so I thought I'd wait for a special night." It took me a while to realize what he said, why was today a special night? I didn't care, I loved going out with Beck, "Yeah sure, that sounds great. What time?" "I'll pick you up at eight? Wear something pretty?" I blushed, "Of course, anything for you Mr. Oliver. I'll see you tonight babe." We said our goodbyes and then hung up. Once I set my phone down, and caught my breath I ran off to Cat's bedroom screaming at the top of my lungs.
I burst through the door "CAT OH MY GOD 911! CAT GET OUT OF BED WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN BED AT 1 IN THE AFTERNOON? UGH GET UP!" I jumped on her bed and she sat up so fast she almost bumped into me. She looked at me horrified "What's wrong Tori, are you hurt? Is it Beck? Is he ok?" I realized I had overreacted, "Oh no Cat, nothing that bad, but..Beck, he…he invited me to a fancy dinner tonight. He said it was a special occasion, and he wants me to wear something pretty! HELP ME!" The next seconds were nothing but a blur of fire engine red hair whipping up and dragging me back to my bedroom. Approximately two hours later, I stepped out of my walk in closet for the millionth time, and I stood in front of my full length mirror. Cat and I studied my outfit, we had gone through almost every single option in my closet. Cat and I looked up from the mirror and said in unison "This. Is. IT!"
I looked back to the mirror to take my outfit in one more time. I was wearing 4 inch black over the knee boots with black leggings. My top was a dark red scoop neck tee, with quarter sleeves. I looked good, but the outfit was incomplete. As if she had read my mind, Cat was already pulling me over to my vanity, mumbling something about jewelry. I had one necklace that I always wore for special occasions, it hung a little below my color bone, the pendant was very simple, it was just a little orchid covered in diamonds. My parents gave it to me for graduation, and it instantly became my favorite piece of jewelry. I traded my simple piercing stud earrings for classy diamond stud earrings. Cat sighed at she rested her hand on my shoulder and we looked at each other in the mirror, smiles on our face. Cat's cocked her head to the side and frowned, I was about to question her when she suddenly jumped up exclaiming "MAKEUP TIME!"
Cat spun me around in my chair faster than I could object, and she started doing my makeup. I cringed at the thought of her going overboard, flashbacks of when she glued a zombie mask to my face. She started pouting and I opened my eyes, "Oh Cat, you can do my makeup, just…don't go overboard!" I said with an uneasy smile. "kk!" she responded and quickly went back to work. I sat their in silence as Cat did my makeup, after a few minutes she spoke, "So Tori, do you think he's gonna, ya know, ask you out tonight? Like you two official" I froze, I wasn't moving, but I froze. I slowly opened my eyes to see Cat sitting back looking at me with wondering eyes, I honestly didn't know. I had hoped so but I didn't want to jinx it or anything. I started looking around the room, I took a breath "I haven't put much thought into that Cat, I really hope he does though. I really like him." I let out a sigh, Cat pulled me into a hug. I loved her hugs, they were always so warm and loving. "Don't worry Tori, even if he doesn't make it official tonight, it's obviously nothing bad, he did say it was special. Either way, I'm here. I love you." I hugged her back, "I love you too Cat, let's get finished up here." She pulled away and smiled at me "I'm already done Tori."
I closed my eyes as I turned to face my vanity once again. I slowly opened my eyes and I was shocked with what I saw. Cat had done an amazing job with my makeup. She went for a really classic look, slightly winged eye liner, with natural false lashes. Defined brows, bronzed cheeks (she skipped the blush making a cute remark about how Beck would take care of that. I thought about fighting back before realizing she was right.) I looked beautiful. I turned around and stood up and pulled Cat into a tight hug, "Thank you Cat, thank you! You're the best best friend a girl could ever have!" She hugged me back and explained "No way Tori, you are! I love you!" After we finished our hug, we made our way into the living room to watch a little bit of tv to kill time. I still had about an hour or so before Beck picked me up. We turned the tv on, but neither of us could keep our eyes off of the clock. After 20 minutes Cat turned the tv off and turned to face me.
"Okay Tori, tv isn't helping, so let's just talk! I'm going crazy waiting!" I laughed but agreed with her. We started talking about past dates and past boyfriends and before we knew it, it was 7:30. Our conversation died down to awkward small talk. Both of us were equally anxious. That was my favorite part of Cat, she felt everything. I was anxious and she was just as anxious as I was. That's how invested she was in her friends and family. That's how much she cared. My thoughts of Cat reminded me of the time in high school when I threw a prome at HA, and Cat invited a guy in a crazy suit. We started talking about high school, and once again Jade was easily ignored and avoided. I didn't realize how wrapped up in the conversation I was until the door bell rang. I almost jumped out of my skin, but I kept my composure, I stood and walked over to open the door.
Beck stood there on our porch looking really amazing, my first instinct was to pull him into a big hug, and his was the same. Every time we hugged and kissed, it was like it was first time, we were both so excited to be with each other. Every time we hugged and kissed, it was like it was the last time, like we couldn't get enough each other and we were savoring every moment together as if it was about to end. Beck squeezed me tight and pulled his face away to give me a kiss. Then he stepped back, "Wow, you look beautiful Tori." Cat of course had to butt in and shouted a hello from the couch, "Uhh, hi Cat" Beck let out an awkward laugh, our eyes never leaving the others gaze. I grabbed my purse and returned back to the door, Beck grabbed my hand. I said goodbye to Cat as I shut the apartment door and followed Beck down to his car.
The drive took about twenty minutes, and we arrived a little before the reservations Beck had made for 8:30. We waited a few minutes and got a table early, we both ordered our food and returned to our conversation. We talked all through dinner, conversation with Beck was so natural, like it was second nature to me. And when we sat in silence, it was like it was meant to be there. It was never awkward or uneasy. That's what I loved about being with him. For example, I was more anxious than ever back at the apartment, but the moment I saw Beck standing in front of me, all of the tension in my body melted away, I liked that. What was better was, I seemed to have the same effect on him.
After Beck paid for our dinner, he grabbed my hand once again and led me outside. Instead of walking back to his car, we went in the opposite direction. I would have questioned anyone else, but at this point, I trusted Beck one hundred percent, I knew we were going somewhere. We walked down the street in silence, sometimes crossing the street, sometimes turning the corner. After about fifteen minutes of walking, we arrived at a park, it was breathtaking. I couldn't stop looking at the stars and the moon, the way they lit up everything in the park. The trees, the grass, the random flowers, everything was a hundred times more beautiful in the moonlight. I look over at Beck and I notice he's been looking at me this whole time. I looked away, trying to hide the fact that I was blushing once again. It never got old.
"Tori, will you dance with me?" I giggled, "Theirs no music playing Beck" He pulled me close, wrapping his arms around me, giving me a kiss. Our lips parted but our foreheads stayed close. He started humming as he rocked me back and forth, this was not bad. I wrapped my arms around his shoulder and leaned into him, letting him lead. After a while, Beck stopped humming, "Is the dance over?" I questioned, Beck slowed the swaying, eventually stopped. He pulled me in for a tight hug and then pulled away, with our arms still around each other.
Beck took a deep breath before looking me in the eyes, "Tori, I know we've only been dating for a few weeks, but I really like you. I love every minute we spend together, and when we're not together, you're on my mind 90 percent of the time. I'd really like it if you'd be my girlfriend, I want to be exclusive. Just us, nobody else." I stared back at him, I felt the blush in my cheeks burning bright, and a smile spreading across my face. This time I didn't hide from Beck, but I pulled him back into another hug. I held him tight as I whispered into his ear, "Beck, I would love to be your girlfriend" He laughed softly and replied "Tori I would love to be your boyfriend." "Just us" he smiled into my shoulder. "Just us" he echoed softly. We started dancing again but this time, Beck didn't hum. Neither of us needed music to dance.
A while later, we both started to get tired, Beck and I started to walk back to his car. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me close, I wrapped my arm around his waist and melted into him, letting him lead the way. Once we got to his car, I looked at the time on my phone, which had been left in his car. It was 2:36 am and I had four missed text messages from Cat. "Hey Tori, how is it goin?" "Tori did he ask you yet?" "OMG do I need to call the cops?" "Are you alive?" I laughed at Cat's dramatic-ness, I started to text her back, when Beck asked if I wanted to sleep over, since his house was closer, I nodded while texting Cat back. "Yes! He asked me out, I'll tell you everything tomorrow, staying at his place! Night! Sorry, btw. Love you for caring 3" she responded right after "Omg you scared me, but omg I'm so happy for you Tor! Cya tomorrow, Luv u 2" I turned my phone off and slipped into my purse, Beck reached for my hand and started driving towards his house. I've spent a lot of time at his house the past few weeks, but this time was different, obviously. It was the first thing we were doing as a couple! Okay Tori, when did you become a giddy school girl? I questioned myself. I knew the answer was two words, Beck Oliver. Once inside his bedroom, we curled up together and quickly fell asleep.
