My One Chance

At School

"Hey Emily."

"Hey Aria," I replied as she walked up to me.

"Are you doing anything on Saturday?"

"Not that I know of, why?"

"Well I was kind of wondering if you would like to go on a date with me?"

"A Date, as in an actually date?"

"Yeah."

"Why?"

"Well I like you as more than a friend and I wanted to see where it can go."

"Okay."

"So do you want to go?"

"Of course Aria, I would love to go on a date with you."

"Cool, I'll pick you up at eight."

"Eight sounds good."

At Emily's House On Saturday

"Hello Aria."

"Hi Mrs Fields, I hope it's okay that I take Emily out tonight."

"Of course it is sweetie," I smiled up at Mrs Fields.

"Here she is," Mrs Fields said.

"Hi Emily, you look beautiful," Emily stood in between her Mum and I wearing these killer black skinny jean with a white tank top which showed her arms off perfectly.

"You two girls have fun."

"We will Mum, bye," Emily kissed her Mum on the cheek before stepping out of the house.

"You do look beautiful tonight."

"Thanks, you look amazing as well."

"Yeah sure," I say thinking my blue denim jeans and black top weren't as amazing as what Emily was wearing.

In Aria's Car

"So where are you taking me?"

"You'll see."

"You're not going to like kill me are you?"

"No, I wouldn't do that."

"Good to know."

"Hey, can you turn the stereo up I love this song?" I asked Emily not wanting to take my hands off the stirring wheel.

"Sure, it's one of my favourites too," Emily said while turning the volume up. Emily and I begin to sing along to Rihanna song FourFiveSeconds.

At The Park

Pulling the car into the parks parking lot, Emily asked "Why are we here?"

"Don't worry, just trust me," hopping out of the car I run around to Emily side of the door.

"Thank-you," Emily said as I helped her out of the car. Taking Emily's hand in mine I begin to lead us through a dimly lit park. I hear Emily gasp at the scene in front of us, I had come here early and had set fairly lets up in the trees. In the circled remote area that only locals would know about was a table and chair, with a white sheet covering them. Another table sat next to it with a blanket sheet and picnic basket sat on top.

"Aria this is beautiful."

"Thanks, I'm glad you like it." Leading Emily over to the table, I pull out a seat her and she happily takes it. Moving across to the picnic basket, I open the lips and begin to pull all of Emily's favourite foods. A full pepperoni pizza that Mike my brother had help Mum make this afternoon, Emily's favourite pasta dish from the Apple Rose Grill, a bowl of skittles and a bowl of strawberries covered in chocolate.

"Wow, you've literally got all of my favourite foods right here."

"Well I knew everything that you liked and I thought this was safer than a restaurant."

"That's true but I would've been happy going anywhere with you."

"I'm glad to know for future reference."

"Future reference, hey?"

"Umm…yeah, I just thought if tonight went well we could do this more."

"Sounds good Aria," Emily smiled up at me. Pulling a bottle of orange juice and apple juice out of the basket, I walk back over to the table and take my seat.

"Would you like apple or orange?"

"I'll take apple please," smiling at Emily as I hand her the bottle of apple juice. I can see Emily eyes and mouth just watering at the food in front of her, it was really cute.

"Dig in," I watch as Emily grabs a piece of pepperoni and take a bite before placing it down on her plate.

"Sorry," Emily said around the pizza.

"I don't mind, I find it cute." Leaning forward I graze thumb over the corner of Emily's mouth and wipe bit of cheese away. Pulling my hand back, I lick the cheese off my thumb and pick up my own piece of pizza.

"So why now?" Emily asked after popping a handful of skittles in her mouth.

"What do you mean?"

"Well we've known each other for a few year, why are you only asking me out now?"

"There were people in my way, first Alison, then Maya and then Paige. This is the first time you've been single since discovering my feelings and I thought this was my only shot."

"Oh, how long have you felt that way?"

"Just a couple year."

"Gez, that must've been hard."

"You have no idea. I didn't want you to be dating anyone if I ever told you, it drove me nearly insane but I was patient."

Emily nods her head and I asked "Do I have a chance Emily?"

"Honestly I don't know and that's how I've gone into every other relationship, I never know if that person has a chance or not. But I'll say this is definitely my favourite first date."

"Well I had something over the other three."

"And what's that?"

"I was friends with you for a very long time, you tell your friends a lot and I just happened to take in everything you say."

"But I've never talk to you about dating before."

"What you think is date talk is different to me and who do you talk to the most about that?"

"Hanna."

"Exactly and who likes to share every single detail about their friends to each other?"

"Hanna, oh god. What has she told you?" Emily asked now realising what she's told Hanna, I probably know.

"That's for me to know and you to not."

"In this moment, I hate you."

Smiling, I asked "How's the pizza?"

"Really good, did you make it?"

"No, Mike and Mum did. I was doing everything else."

"Well tell them thanks from me. Does your family know?"

"Yeah, that's why Mike always smiles when you randomly come over to the house and Mum practically giggles like a school girl when she sees you at school."

"That finally explains something."

"What?" I asked worried.

"Nothing, I just wanted to hear your voice go all high."

"In this moment, I now hate you," I smile across at Emily and she smiles back.

Back At Emily's House

Walking Emily up to her front door, Emily said "I had a lot of fun tonight Emily."

"I'm glad you had fun, it was the plan but you can never be too sure."

"Well you've got nothing to worry about," Emily places a hand on my shoulder and I can feel my heart melt.

I asked "So is there going to be another time?"

Emily leaned into me and whispered "Definitely," I felt Emily peck my cheek before she turned and head inside to her house. Now my heart was definitely melted just like the rest of me and it was all because of one Emily Fields and I wouldn't change it for anything. Smiling to myself as I head back to my car, standing in front of my car door I looked up to Emily's room window and I saw her staying there.

"Goodnight Emily," I say before getting into my car and driving away on top of the world.

The End.
