I plan on making this the best summer of Cat's life. I texted her earlier today telling her to be ready to go to a nice dinner around 7. I walk up to her door and knock. The door swings open and I'm tackled by a little red head.

"ROBBIE!" She yells while in my arms.

"CAT!" I laugh.

She stays in my arms for a good minute. When she finally lets go she looks me up and down. "You clean up well."

"And your beautiful as always." I smile.

"I don't know how much longer I can take all of this charm Mr. Shapiro. It can be a bit… overwhelming… if you get what I mean." She gives me the same seductive look she did in the pool.

"I think I do." I smirk. "Now, Ms. Valentine, would you like to go to dinner?" I ask her in a polite way.

"Of course." I offer her my arm and she accepts in as she says this. We walk back over to my car and I open the door for her.

"You really are quiet the gentleman. Now where exactly are we going?" She asks me as I get in the other side.

"The park." I explain.

"Why the park? It's dark out." She questions me.

"You will see… It's a surprise." I tease her.

"As long as you don't blindfold me." She tells me. I just look down for a minute,

She pauses for a minute. "You were going to blindfold me!" She chuckles. "Well I trust you so… ok."

I smile at her and grab her hand to intertwine our fingers. We finally get to the park. I park relatively close to the spot I'm bringing her.

I get out and open her door. She stands up and lets me blindfold her. As soon as I finish I start to direct her to the top of a hill.

Once we get there I pull out a lighter and light 2 candles. Then I take off the blindfold. Her jaw drops as she takes in the sight.

A small party ten was set up. Under it there was a small circular table in front of us with a red and white Italian checkered table cloth on it. There were two candles in the center of the table and 2 plates with chicken parm and spaghetti on them. There was a small salad in a bowl on the side. Two wine glasses were filled half way with red wine and two folding chairs were set up across from each other.

"Robbie… This is amazing… Why…? What…?" She looks at me.

I put a finger over her mouth. "Don't talk." I say leaning in to kiss her lightly on the lips. I pull out her chair and slid it in as she sits. Once I sit we both star to serve our food.

The small talk happened throughout dinner. We talk about the sleepover at Tori's the other day and going skinny dipping. We laughed and smiled the entire time. So far it was a great night, but I had to make it better.

After we finish dinner and an entire bottle of wine, I pull out desert. I place a red velvet cupcake in front of her and one in front of me. An ear to ear smile comes over her face. I knew she would love the cupcakes. They have always been her favorite. That's why her hair is red.

"Robbie why did you do all of this?" She asks me quietly.

"Because I love you." I look up slightly from my cupcake and into her eyes.

She just stares back at me. "Oh…"

"Don't worry. You don't have to say it back. If you're not ready, you're not ready. I understand." I smile at her.

"Thank you for understanding me all the time. I can't talk to people like I can to you. Not even Jade. She will always make fun of me. You're the only one who doesn't. Thanks you."

"Can I ask you a question?" I look at her.

"Shoot." She smiles.

"Why are you pushing me to go to MIT?"

"I'm sorry if I hurt you. It was never intended. But I care too much about our relationship to let it be ruined because you had regrets. Because you wanted to do something and I was the one to hold you back. Robbie, I would prefer you to be happy doing what you love, than being with me. I can't be the one to get in your way. So you're going to go to MIT, whether I like it or not, and then you can come back to me. I promise you I will be here waiting. I never break my promises."

"Ok." We finish out desserts and I stand up. I set up my iPhone with some speakers and pressed play. I "All We Are" by Matt Nathanson came on. Cat looked up at me.

"Ms. Valetine, may I have this dance?" I hold out my hand and she takes it. I take her a little bit away from the tent.

I take one of her hands and she puts the other on my shoulder. My other hand goes on her hip and we sway along to the music. The entire time she stares into my eyes. The song switches to "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri. She changes her position and just lays into my body.

We continue to sway back and forth to the music without a care in the world. Everything was just perfect at that moment.

Finally I decide to break the silence. "I'm going to make this a summer you will never forget Cat."

"You've made the last 10 years something I will never forget." She whispers into my neck.

The first couple of drops start to fall and after about 1 minute it turns into a down pour. Cat pulls away a little bit and looks into my eyes.

It was the perfect moment. I lean in a little bit and she moves the rest of the way. Out lips crash together. The rain trickles down our faces as she snakes her arms around my neck. The kiss continue and get more passionate as time goes. The light music in the background, the romantic dinner in the park, the rain, all of it. She bits my bottom lip lightly to open my mouth a little bit. Our tongues start to wrestle while she runs her hands through my wet hair. Finally after a few minutes we pull apart. The rain starts to subside and the clouds finally roll away. The night sky and bright stars came back over head.

"You don't understand how much this means to me Robbie. I've never been with a guy as sweet and nice and passionate and kind as you are. No one has ever set something like this up for me. It was always dinner and a movie. How long were you planning this?" She asks.

"Awhile. Since graduation. So you like it then?" I ask shyly.

"Of course. This is amazing! Thank you so much."

"Anything for you." I smile.

We go back to the car after I get my phone. I open her door for her again and then get in on my side. Once we get to her house I walk her up to the front door. We both stop simultaneously and she looks at me.

"Thank you again Robbie. I can't even begin to explain how happy this made me. You are the sweetest guy ." She explains giving me a hug.

"What can I say, I'm a hopeless romantic." She pulls her head back and leans in to give me a short and soft kiss.

"I do love your Robbie… more than you could imagine…" She says letting go of me and opening her door.

I'm about to turn around when I remember, "So… what are you doing next weekend?" I ask.

"Apparently whatever you have planned." She smiles.

"Like I said, this is going to be the summer you will never forget." I explain.

She walks in the door and closes it behind her after waving goodbye. I breathe a sigh of relief.

I whisper to myself walking back to the car. "I did it… I got the girl…"
