"Lizzie. Can I ask. D-do you like me?"

Joel questions.

Now

"I-I... Ughhhhh." Lizzie says looking down.

*_*_*_*Lizzie's pov*_*_*_*

Shoot. How do I say this. Lord help me. Please. What should I do?!

Should I tell him? I think this isn't the right time.

Yeah thats it!

I'll just have to say that.

It's better than confessing and getting hurt.

Right?

Uhmm.

I'm so scared to admit.

H-he's just a good friend of yours Lizzie.

It's okay.

A good friend which you like.

I hate you conscience.

I don't know what to do.

"LIZZIE!""Hello?"

Oh shoot. I've been dazing.

*_*_*_*Third Person pov*_*_*_*

"Hmm. What? Sorry. I was dazing."

Lizzie apologized.

"I-Its okay. I'm sorry for forcing you."

He says apologizing

"But you can tell me anytime you want to."

"Well only when you're ready of course."

He adds

Lizzie nods her head and intertwined their hands together.

They both blush.

Sooner Lizzie starts walking to a ladder.

She tells Joel to follow her.

Joel nods and follows.

They get to the top of the tree.

And it was sunset Already.

"This is my favorite part of this tree."

"It has a little open spot where you can sit at,"

"but you can not be seen by other people."

Lizzie stated.

Lizzie then stares out to the sunset.

And as the sunset's light shines on her face.

Joel stares at her and smiles.

"Isn't the sunset beautiful?"

Lizzie asks while looking to her right.

Where Joel is.

"It is. But it's not as beautiful as you."

Joel says smiling.

He closes in.

"J-Joel?"

Lizzie asks.

She closes in too.

They're just few inches away

When...

CRASH! BOOM! CRASH!

Lizzie pulls away.

"I-I'm so sorry."

Joel says.

"I-It's okay. We were in the moment."

She says smiling.

"Anyways. I-I better check what's happening."

Lizzie says standing up.

"I-I'm going home."

He says standing up too.

"You're not gonna have dinner with us?"

"I dont know."

He says rubbing the back of his neck.

"Come on. Please Joel."

"Fiinee."

"Yay! Now lets go before my parents come finding me."

They both get out of the tree and lock it before leaving.

"Your secret base is amazing."

Joel complements.

"Well thank you. It had so much pink tho."

Lizzie giggles.

"Yeah. It looks great with you tho."

"And Your theme for the whole thing is creative."

"Thanks."

Lizzie smiles.

"ELIZABETH!"

Her dad shouts.

"Yes Dad!"

"Where are you?!"

"I'm at the backyard!"

She replies.

His father goes outside.

And smiles to both of them.

"Well hello Joel."

Micheal (Lizzie's dad) greets him.

"Hello Mr. Dwyer."

Joel replies smiling.

"Are you gonna join us for dinner?"

Micheal asks.

"I Dont--"

He gets cut off.

"Yes. He is going to be joining us dad."

Lizzie says smiling.

She then holds his hand.

Which makes Joel blush a pink tint on his face.

"Okay then. I'll be cooking since your mom's knocked out."

"Dad. Can we just order pizza."

Lizzie suggests.

"You know what happened Last time you cooked."

She reminded him.

"Oh. We keep on having pizza already."

He says.

"I know. Want to go out to a Chinese Restaurant?"

He asks.

Both Lizzie and Joel nod.

"Where's Maddie?"

Lizzie asks.

"She's on a date."

"WHAT?!"

She replies shouting.

"You allow her to date and not me?!"

Lizzie says throwing her arms up on the air.

"Look Lizzie. Your my little girl. And Maddie is your mom's"

"So I'm very protective over you."

He admits.

"But mom. Ugh. Never mind."

She says keeping quiet.

"Okay anyways. Change up Liz."

You're gonna go with us to the restaurant or not?"

"Okay. Wait for 10minutes."

They nod and sit on the couch.

She runs upstairs.

And starts choosing from her closet.

"This! No too sexy."

"This! Nahh too nerdy."

"This! NO! Too sloppy."

"This! It's perfect!"

She comes down wearing a white off shoulder crop top.

With some skinny ripped jeans.

And white hightops.

She also has four gold bracelets on her right hand.

And a white choker around her neck.

"Finally!"

Micheal shouts.

Joel blushes as he looks at Lizzie.

Lizzie blushes back.

"L-Let's go?"

Lizzie asks.

Her dad nods.

All of them then go to the car.

And go to the Chinese Restaurant.
