Hi! Play this audio when I tell you. (Listen from 0:37) This mix has been in my mind like a loop for almost two weeks. Anyways, let's jump right back into it.

Riley's PoV:

I am very excited. Gosh this one boy is making me feel millions of emotions. As soon as Andrew dropped me, I texted Allie.

She immediately called me.

"Riley. Oh my God. Oh my God.!!" She was screaming on the phone.

"Uh. Rest in peace to my eardrums!" I said.

"Riley, I am coming over tomorrow to prep you for your date and other things" She replied.

"What other things?" I asked

"You silly girl" She said

"Whatever" I replied.

Today is the day I am going on date with Drew. I am giggling to myself like lovesick puppy

"What's got you all hyped up on a Saturday morning?" My Mom asked me

"Mom! Drew is taking me out" I said subtly

"As in a date?" My Mom asked me raising her eyebrows at me.

"Who's going on a date?" My brother and dad asked at the same time.

"Riley is" I said addressing myself.

"Is that right?" My dad asked.

"Yes,Dad. Ikindalikehim!" I said in a one breath.

"I didn't quite catch that" My dad said laughing knowing exactly what I said

"Okay, Dad. You all were right. I like Drew. A lot!" I said it finally.

It felt so good to admit which I was in denial about.

"Finally!" My dad said.

"Huh?" I asked confused

"Riles, you thought I am going to oppose this? No. Cause your mother was the same when she fell in love with me" My dad said.

"Oh shut up, Daniel!" My mom said blushing.

"Whoa whoa. If he breaks your heart, I am going to go ninja on his ass" My brother said.

"You are the best, you know that?" I said and side hugged him.

"You bet. I am" My brother said laughing

"Come on. Let's have breakfast" My dad said.

After breakfast, I was just passing the time. Alex has left for a road trip with Sarah. My parents have gone grocery shopping.

Drew💙: will pick you up at 5.

Me: okay babe. 😌

Drew💙: I could get used to this.

Me: Come on, Sweep me off of my feet. Wont be that easy

Drew💙: betcha.

Me: let me see that.

Drew💙: 😉😉😉😉😉

"Uh. Excuse me?" I looked up from my phone on the sound of Allie's voice.

"Hey!" I said

"I have been here for the past five minutes. You didn't even look up when I knocked on the door" Allie said

"Don't exaggerate. I knew you came in. I was waiting for you to say something" I said.

"Got me" Allie said raising her hands.

"Drama baby" I said laughing

"Lover boy, eh?" She asked.

"Yep" I said plopping the p.

"Look at you all girly" she said.

"Yeah. I am not at all but damn" I said.

My parents brought take out for us.

I informed Allie that Drew would pick me up at 5.

"No too much makeup, Allie!" I informed her in prior.

"Okay, Miss Danes" Allie said bowing to me.

I was ready by 4:47 to be precise. I was excited and nervous at the same time.

"Geez,Relax. Will you?" Allie said squeezing my shoulders.

"Nervous jitters" I said

"There's going to be a lot of kissing" Allie said making kissy faces.

"Shut up" I said.

"Look at you blushing" Allie said laughing at my awkwardness.

We reached the living room.

"Looking chic and cute" My mom said

"Thanks, Mom" I said.

There was a knock on the door and My dad was the one who attended the door.

"So, you young man is the one taking my daughter on a date?" I hear my dad asking him.

"Yes, Mr Danes" I also hear Drew replying.

"Come on in" My dad let him in.

"Hi" I said.

"Bonita" he said

"Uh. Thank you" I said

"Kids" My Mom said.

"Let's go?" Drew asked me.

"Have fun!" All three shouted

I waved at them and got in the car. He opened the car door for me like a gentleman

"Chivalry is not dead!" I said getting myself into the car

"So it is a half hour drive" Andrew said.

"Mmm-hmm" I said and took a note of his attire

He has paired a flannel shirt with black jeans and converse. Simple but cute

"Drew?" I called.

"Hmm?" He replied keeping his eyes on the road

"You look good" I said.

"Thank you for the compliment. It is just I am trying to impress this girl that I like " He replied

Girl that I like.

"Who might that be?" I asked

"Oh, you will know" Andrew said.

We both were singing along to the songs playing in the radio.

"That was fun" I said.

We reached the carnival place.

"Come on, let's play some games" I said.

We played on different games for several minutes.

Andrew won me a stuffed animal. A stuffed dog.

"Aww, Drew." I said and blew a kiss to him.

"Anything for Mi'lady" Andrew said smiling.

"Cheesy" I said.

"Devil house?" He asked.

"Okay" I said.

Who am I kidding? I was vey scared to go in there.

We got in and suddenly Andrew disappeared.

"Drew?"

"Drew!"

"Andrew!"

I saw the exit sign and ran towards it like a mad person.

Near to that was a person with weird mask and scared the living day lights out of me.

"No." I screamed.

"Leave me alone" I continued screaming and yelling.

"Hey. Hey. It's me, Drew" he said.

"You idiot!" I said frustrated

There were tears in the corner of my eyes.

He was laughing uncontrollably.

I just shook my head and started walking away from him.

"Red, wait!" He said jogging me.

I just kept walking.

"Riley! I am sorry!" He said keeping with me.

"Whatever!" I said.

He was walking beside and disappeared again

"Red?" He called

"Where did you go?" I asked

"To get cotton candy for you" He said

"I love cotton candy" I said

"Am I forgiven?" He asked with a puppy dog look on his face

"Give me my cotton candy and I will think about it!" I said.

"Yes, you are forgiven" I said hugging him.

It's impossible to stay mad at him.

"You scared me there" Andrew said hugging me back.

It is 8 at night. We had our food and started to leave.

"Lets go to the beach!" I said.

"I like the way you are thinking." Andrew said.

Beach had a deserted look. Only few people were there.

"Beautiful, ain't it?" I said.

"The way I see it. I am looking at two beautiful things" Andrew said

I was speachless.

We both took photos of us making silly faces. It was fun.

Andrew twirled me and brought me close to his chest encircling his hands around my waist. I looked at him and he was already looking at me.

My stomach just did a backflip with the way he is looking at me.

"Red?" He whispered my name.

"Hmm?" I said unable to form the words.

I haven't been this close with him ever since the incident at the Stokes place. And the tingly feelings have awaken to the occasion.

"You make me feel many things. Many things I am scared of accepting to myself. But you are worth it. I like you. A lot. I want to hold you everyday and shower you with kisses" Andrew said.

I was just staring at him.

"I-uh." Great I was stammering now.

My heart was thumping very hard. I am pretty sure he can feel it

He kissed my cheeks and then tip of the nose. I was in daze state.

"I would go crazy if I didn't kiss you, Red. Will you let me?" Andrew asked.

"Yes. YES!" I screamed in excitement.

With that, he placed his lips on me. I went numb for a second but I recovered and brought my hands around his neck and kissed him back. It was pure bliss.

It was slow and sensual. We both pulled away. We were smiling like a chesire cat.

"Damn!" Andrew said.

"I know right!" I replied smiling like a crazy person.

I was biting my lips and looking now at the ocean.

"Rather I would bite your lips." Andrew said hugging me from behind.

"Boys!" I said rolling me eyes.

Andrew started kissing my neck.

"Mmm-hmm" I said

I took a photo of us. Him hugging me from behind and kissing me on the cheek.

"Let's go home, Drew" I said.

"I was planning to keep you to myself" He said.

I laughed at him.

We reached my home.

"So, I was impressed" I said.

"Did I sweep you off of your feet?" He asked.

"You did" I said.

"And Drew?" I called him.

"Yes?" He asked.

"I like you as well. Much more than I intended" I said.

"I rendered you speechless, didn't I?" I asked.

"Yes, you did" He said.

"You are my lucky charm, Riley!. I am glad I DM'd you." Andrew said.

I kissed him. He was too cute.

"I had to do it, Drew" I said grinning.

"Makes me want to do more" Andrew said.

"Keep dreaming" I said.

"Oh yeah. I will" Andrew said grinning.

"Pervert" I said.

"Anyways,Uh. Good night" I said and kissed him on the cheek

"Mmm" Andrew said.

"See you" I said rolling my eyes but still smiling.

Me to Allie💃🏻👯: Allie!

Allie💃🏻👯: Riley! How did it go?

Me: we kissed.

Allie💃🏻👯: omg! Finally! You guys are cute! Damn.

Me: hahaha. Will meet you tomorrow.

End of chapter 23.

I think this might be the longest chapter I have wrote. Finally it took me 22 chapters to make them kiss. How was this chapter? Too much cheesy? You liked it? I think I did a great justice to the date scene. Let me know in the comments. Until next time, see ya!
