I set my alarm for my usual 6am start, and did my night routine before cuddling up in bed and taking my mind away to peaceful dreams and possibilities for tomorrow; it's a brand new day.
My eyes shot open just as my alarm started blaring Broadway into my room at 6am this morning. I woke up with a big smile on my face and in an overall good mood. I left the music playing while I started my morning routine which included showering, exercising and dressing myself up, not necessarily in that order.
I was very happy this morning because today, Finn was taking me out bowling as a sort of date/reunion/make-up session. I reminisced whilst putting on a dark-blue polka-dot dress about the previous times we had been bowling and how much fun we always had together.
I raced down the stairs and rushed through a typical vegan breakfast I made for myself, banana French toast, and kept glancing at the clock every few minutes. It was now 10am and Finn and I had decided he would pick me up from outside my house at 10:30am. With this in mind, I slowed myself down and ate more slowly, hoping for the time to go by quicker this way. Luckily for me, this worked.
Soon I was pulling my coat on over my dress, and checking my shoes were neat and tidy before gathering my purse and stepping out of my house, locking the door behind me. As I turn back around, Finn's truck is sitting on my drive waiting for me with a very smiley Finn in the driver's seat. I bound over and jumped in with a continuous smile on my face.
"Good morning!" He exclaimed to me, seeming happy to see me.
"Good morning, Finn. Hope this wasn't too early for you." I slightly teased him, knowing he wasn't a morning person like me.
He gave me a slight smirk as a response. "You ready to go?" And with my firm nod of approval, we set off to the bowling alley.
I increasingly got more and more excited as we got closer to the bowling alley, causing Finn to laugh at me. I called him out on it.
"Hey, don't laugh at me! Aren't you excited?" I narrowed my eyes at him waiting for him to answer. He shot back with a response.
"Yeah, I am. Am not gonna wee my pants though!" He said in jest. Secretly pleased with his response as he was also excited, I stuck out my tongue as retaliation.
We finally got to the bowling alley and proceeded to have fun. After paying the entrance fee, we got our shoes and Finn graciously bent down and put mine on my feet for me, making me feel almost like Cinderella. When he stood up again, I thanked him, took his hand and led him to our lane we had bought.
Not needing him to teach me this time, however I did get his help choosing some balls that would be light enough for me. We then got the game underway.
"Ladies first." He said, whilst gesturing me in front of him. I gave him a smile and put some energy into my first swing; it deviated slightly to the right and knocked down the back row and the three pins on the edge of the pyramids right side, leaving 3 pins standing one from the second row and two behind it.
"Not bad, but can you get the spare?" He joked with me; I didn't give him answer, letting my bowling skills do the talking.
SPARE
"Read the screen Finn! It's spelling 'you're gonna lose' on it!" I teased him.
"Yeah? We'll see about that…"
Needless to say, as we were leaving an hour later, I had bragging rights, winning 103 to 92. As we were walking out, he put his arm around me and led me back to his truck.
"I'm glad we did this today." I spoke honestly, looking up at him. "I had a really nice time."
"Me too, we'll just have to do this again someday." I smiled in response to him and with his help, jumped into the truck letting him shut the door behind me.
As he drove us back to my house, I pondered for a little while over our date. I really enjoyed it and it proved to me that the spark we always seemed to have would never die away no matter what came between us. I honestly believed we would always be together. Something Kurt had said to me a little while ago jumped back into my head. Maybe he was right, maybe Finn and I are soul mates? I sure hope so, I would love to spend the rest of my life with Finn. That's when I fully realised, I had forgiven Finn. As I reached my startling realisation, he turned the radio on.
"And here on drive time we now play you a little Journey, hope you guys in Ohio aren't stuck in traffic today."
Lost in twilight, the memories
Precious moments, you and me
We've been old friends, all through the years
Picture postcards, sharing tearsWhat's in our hearts, there's never time, to say
Need you tonight, lover don't fade away
I've seen your city lights
As I walk away
Why can't this night...go on forever
Without love, we won't survive
Run together, we rule the night
Tell me secrets, oh that make you cry
Where's the laughter, we gotta tryWhat's in our hearts, there's never time to say
Need you tonight, lover don't fade away
Like a photograph
That time won't erase
Why can't this night...go on forever
Go on forever and ever...ever and ever
Journey – Why Can't This Night Go On Forever
The song left silence in the truck as I quickly turned the radio off when it finished. It greatly shone my views for our relationship and spoke of how much I had enjoyed today with him. I looked over at him and he seemed to have a pensive look on his face whilst driving, obviously in thought. He turned his head to glance at me though, feeling my stare, and so I smiled at him and he smiled back, and in that moment, I was sure we were going to be alright and we are going to have a bright future together.
