Rydel's POV:Band practice was finally over. The time was 2 PM. It took about 2 or 3 hours rehearsing. We practiced some of our old songs and some new ones that we wrote for up incoming EP entitled 'LOUD'.
It includes four songs, 'Loud', 'Fallin' For You', 'I Want U Bad', and 'Here Comes Forever'. Since the EP come out next week, we're debuting one of the songs at our next gig.
..
As I move from my place, behind my keyboard, I make my way upstairs to my room, getting ready before Mike came to pick me up.
I didn't take a shower since I already took one before band practice.
I put on a new outfit, though.
I chose to wear a Rose Print Woven TuTu Peplum Top, with Dark Wash Jeans, and Black Suede Booties.
I brushed my hair down, before re-putting it back into the neat bun it was in before.
I was currently doing my makeup. I didn't put much on though. I decided on some eyeliner, a light colored blush, lip gloss and a bit of concealer.
"Knock knock."Ell said, whilst walking into my room.
"What's up, Ell?"I ask, using the makeup brush to put on the blush.
"Delly, wanna go get ice cream with me?"He asks, shoving his hands into his Jean Jacket's pockets.
"What about Kelly? Won't she go with you?"
"She's too busy with school."He replies.
"And the boys?"I question.
"They said that they don't want to go."He flops onto my bed.
"Sorry Ell, but I can't."I turn around to look at him, and he makes a pout face at me.
"Why not?"He asks me.
"I'm.. I'm hanging out with Mike today."I inform him, turning back to face the mirror.
"Oh."Is all he says.
"Maybe next time?"I offer.
"Tomorrow?"He asks, with hopeful eyes.
"It's a plan."I say, with a smile, putting down my makeup brush.
Ratliff gets up off of my bed, and makes his way to the door.
"See you tomorrow, Delly."He says, halfway out the door.
"See you tomorrow."I call back.
"Oh yeah, and Delly."Ratliff says, poking his head back into my room.
"Hm?"I look up at him.
"I like it when you don't wear all of that stuff. When you go natural. it's a good look for you. But you look good either way."He tells me.
I smile, I could already feel my face turning red.
"Thank's Ell."I tell him. He nods, before leaving my room once again.
I couldn't stop smiling because of the compliment he has just given me. He's really sweet.
..
"Rydel honey, Mike is here."My mom yells to me, from downstairs.
I send one last text to Vanessa, before putting my phone into my Shoulder Bag, with my house keys and other necessities.
"Coming!"I call, as I walk down the stairs, zipping up my purse.
"Have fun you two."She says, as I walk out with Mike.
..
"So, where are you taking me, Mike?"I ask.
"I'm not telling you Rydel, it's a secret surprise."He replies.
"But I don't really like surprises."
"I'm sure you'll like this one."He says, turning the corner.
We've been driving for quite a while, and I wasn't really sure where we were going. It was about 4:30 PM.
"And how are you so sure of that?"
"I don't know... but I have a feeling you'll like this surprise."He chuckles.
Over the past few days, I've been the noticing the littlest things about Michael.
I've noticed how his hair looks black, it's actually a dark brown if you look at it in the light. I've noticed how he hardly takes things seriously at times. And how he can be calm at the most stressful or worrying moments. I even learned that he has this soft spot for animals.
Although, he looks like one of those tough high school jocks that you see in the movies, he's really a sweetheart.
"Rydel?"He says.
"Uh, what?"I ask, snapping out my train of thought.
"I said we're here, come on."He says, getting out of the car.
I unbuckle my seat belt and get out of the car.
The first thing that catches my eye, makes me realize where we were.
"No way."I say, as Mike locks his car doors.
"Yes way."He says, as we make our way to the entrance.
The thing that caught my eye was a big Ferris Wheel. Mike brought me to a Carnival, which was one of my favorite places.
"I told you that you'd like the surprise."He says, grinning.
"I guess you were right."I mumble.
"What?"He asks, but I knew he heard me the first time.
"You were right, Mike."I say, giggling.
