At the moment, I'm pacing around my room in a bra and panties.

Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.

Think, Ashley. What do you wear to ask someone on a date? I'm so rusty at this. I need to step my game up or I'm going to make a fool out of myself.

I blow dry my hair and leave it wavy, because come on, my hair looks great when it's wavy.

It's starting to get chilly outside so obviously I'm going to wear jeans. I grab my favorite pair of faded blue jeans. I've had these for years and even though they're worn down they still fit just tight enough.

The only shoes I ever wear with these are my grey chucks so I grab those too.

Alright, I'm all ready to go. I grab my keys and head downstairs.

"MOM IM LEAVING" I yell to her.

My hand is on the doorknob when I hear my mother laughing hysterically.

What the hell?

"Ashley, where exactly are you going that a shirt is not required in November?" she asks me in between laughs and trying to catch her breath.

Oh shit. I look down and see that I definitely forgot to put a shirt on. How did this happen?

I sprint back upstairs and head into the closet. No wonder I got ready so fast.

I decide on a grey flannel and grab my northface jacket to go over it. I double check in my mirror to make sure I didn't forget anything else and make my way to the car.

I get to Starbucks and order two medium Vanilla Frappuccinos.

On my drive to the park, I run through different ways of asking Spencer out on a date. I'm pretty sure she'll say yes, that's not what I'm worried about. I just don't want to be fumbling my words and embarrassing myself.

I park my car and make my way over to a picnic table where I'll wait for her.

There aren't many people out here aside from me and it's getting dark out. I miss summer a lot. It's my favorite season.

Call it whatever you want, but I know Spencer is coming near me before I see or hear her. She just sits down beside of me and says hi.

She looks adorable. She has on a beanie.

I hand her the coffee and add, "Be careful, the coffee is hot but not as hot as you," wow.. LAME.

She stares at me for a second before breaking out in a deep laugh.

Way to go. Not even five minutes in and you already look like a dumbass. High Five for Ashley!

I can't help the blush that comes to my cheeks as I try to play it off coolly.

"Aww, come on lets go for a walk," she says and stands up.

We walk at a slow pace and I decide to start asking her questions.

"So how was dinner Spencer?"

She sighs and replies "Eventful. The whole family was there."

"How big of a family do you have?"

Kayla didn't tell me very much at all about Spencer or her home life. I don't even know where she goes to school. I haven't seen her around King High so I know she doesn't go there.

"I have two brothers. My parents are divorced but still make us all eat together at least once a week. It's stupid because they just fight the whole time."

"Oh I'm sorry Spencer. I had no idea."

We continue walking for about ten minutes and I'm getting more and more nervous about asking her on a date. I decide that the best way is to just be forward and honest and just do it.

I stop walking and Spencer stops too. She's looking at me quizzically with that cute little head tilt.

"Spencer, can I ask you something?" I get out finally.

"Well sure Ashley," she replies, giving me a small smile.

Here goes nothing.

"Spencer I know I messed up already and you might not be over that but I want to fix it and I want to get to know you more and I guess what I want to ask you is if you'll go on a date with me If you don't want to I completely understand and I'll leave you alone or we can just be friends too if you would want to do that" I tell her in one big breath. Well I got everything off my chest.

"You might have to run all that by me again, I don't think I got it all," she tells me with a giggle.

I grab her hand that isn't holding coffee and take a deep breath.

"Spencer, will you go on a date with me?" I smile at her and wait for her response.

She pulls me into a hug and in my ear, whispers "I thought you'd never ask"

AHH I do a little happy dance on the inside because if I really did a happy dance I'm sure she would change her mind about our date.

"Great, awesome okay good." I say with a huge grin on my face.

"So what did you have in mind?" she asks me.

"Well I was thinking there's a lot I don't know about you so I didn't want to take you somewhere you didn't like. How about you decide?"

We continue walking and I can tell she's thinking hard on where to go.

"Oh I know! We can go speed dating," she says with excitement.

Um what?

"Spencer why would we go speed dating? I don't want to go on a date with 10 people, just you" I tell her.

I'm thinking maybe I should have brought up my picnic idea..

"Haha no Ashley. It will be just us. We can bring questions to ask each other that way we'll get to know each other faster and without all of the awkwardness that comes along on a first date," she explains.

Oh. That makes sense.

"Okay lets do it." I tell her with a smile.

"We should probably start heading back now it's getting late." She says while looking around.

We make it back to our cars and hug and say goodbye.

I'm not really sure how this date is going to turn out and what kind of questions are appropriate. I'll have to ask her for more details later but I'm just really glad she said yes. She seems to be excited.

A/N I'm glad my story is getting traffic again after being on a two year hiatus. So what do you guys think?
