Skynna

Skyler POV

I heard the TV turn on in the living room. Great, Syd must be up. I needed to ask her a few things before I took Anna out today. Man, was I nervous. I walked out into the living room. I didn't see anyone, but I heard the fridge door open and close. Syd must be getting breakfast. I headed towards the kitchen.

Bam!

I rubbed my head. What the… I looked in front of me and saw Joe wincing as he rubbed his arm. Oops. "Joe?" He looked at me, "What are you doing here?"

"What do you think?" He barked at me.

I winced, "Sorry I asked," I snuck by him and went into the kitchen. Joe didn't like me simply because I was dating his little sister. I didn't hate him though, I knew he was just watching out for Anna and I respected that. I still did my best to avoid him and get on his bad side though. I grabbed an apple out of a bowl on the counter and walked out to the living room. Joe was sitting on the couch already, so I sat as far away from him as I could. We ended up in an uncomfortable silence.

"So…" I spoke, and regretted it immediately. Joe glared at me, "I should probably get going," Joe looked glad to hear that. I got up and walked to the door. I stopped and turned to him, "You don't happen to know what kind of flowers Anna likes, do you?"

"No, why would I?"

I shrugged, "Just asking," I thought I might as well check. I quickly left after that. I had a really busy day planned for Anna and me. First stop, the florist.

Anna giggled as she slid into my car and kissed me on the cheek. "So, where to first? You said you had lots planned."

I nodded, "This will forever be your favorite Valentine's Day."

She grinned, "Let's go!"

I was about to start my car, but I gave Anna a sideways glance. She was wearing a short, purple sun dress with a floral pattern on the bottom, "Your bag looks heavy. Maybe we should put it in the trunk."

Anna looked down at her small clutch, "Um, ok?" I popped open the trunk and Anna followed me to the back of my car. I heard her silent gasp, "Skyler…"

The corners of my mouth twitched up. I had placed a large bouquet of every flower known to man, an edible bouquet filled with all kinds of fruits, a box of chocolates, a medium-sized teddy bear, and a diamond necklace, bracelet, and earring set in the trunk. The foods and flowers were fresh and the jewelry was sparkling.

"You really didn't have to do all this," she looked up shyly at me.

I looked at her, "Of course I did. I love you," I wrapped my arm around her shoulders, "Ready to go to dinner?"

She nodded, "Definitely."

Before we left, I moved everything from the trunk of the car to the back seat. Then, we drove off to dinner.

Dinner went by fast, but it was fun. I enjoyed it and I could tell Anna did too. Which was good because it wasn't exactly cheap. Nothing about tonight was, but I didn't care. Anna was worth it. We got back into my car and drove towards the pier.

"You're not taking me home yet?" Anna asked.

I shook my head, "Nope. I have more planned."

"Skyler-"

I cut her off, "You're going to love this," I beamed at her, "I promise," I drove us to the docks and walked Anna towards a large white boat, "Ready for a cruise?"

Anna shot me a small smile, "Why not?" We walked onto the boat hand-in-hand. Near the back of the boat a small band stood, poised to play. Anna stopped, "Oh wow."

"Come on," I pulled her to the back of the boat. I held out my hand to her, "Care to dance?"

Anna shyly grabbed my hand. I pulled her close and as the band started to play, we swayed back and forth together. The boat slowly made its way onto the river. We danced to a few songs. I was proud of myself. I put a lot of work into tonight to make it as romantic as possible.

"Listen Skyler," I looked down at Anna, "You really didn't need to have to do all this," she looked like she pitied me.

"What do you mean?"

"All this," she stepped away from me and gestured all around her, "The gifts, the expensive dinner, this boat," she motioned for the band to stop playing, "It's just all too much," I frowned. Didn't she enjoy tonight? "I would've settled for a small dinner and a walk through central park. Do you really think any of our friends are out doing anything as big as this?" I shook my head. I couldn't get any words to come out of my mouth. "Can we just go home? My parents are gone. We can watch a movie or something."

I nodded my head. The boat was almost back to the docks anyway.

When the boat returned, Anna and I walked silently to my car. I didn't want to look at the gifts in the back seat. I felt bad. I was nervous enough about today, and now I find out she didn't even like it? I sighed.

Anna looked at me, "I did like tonight."

"Really?" I said, a little hopefulness in my voice.

She nodded, "Yeah. It was really nice and fun. And tomorrow I get to rub in all my gifts to the other girls."

I smirked, "That's great," we pulled up in front of her house. I spent a lot of money tonight for a girl who didn't even want it. Oh, the irony.
