Walker had messaged me. I picked up my phone and checked my messages.

Walker

hey walker

Oh hey Y/N

i was just wondering if you would want to go hang out somewhere?

i got a few places we could go

I mean I'm not doing anything so yea

And where are we meeting?

I turned over to F/N. "Did you message Walker asking him to hang out?" I was at a loss for words at this point.

He tried to hide his laughing again. "Yes, I did. You need to actually get to know him, not just talk over the phone."

I covered my face in distress. I didn't know what to do. I was not planning on hanging out with my crush today. "F/N, we aren't gonna get together. He's probably straight anyway. Even if, what if he's taken?"

Sighing, he said, "Well it doesn't have to be like that. You also need to make more friends. Today, you guys are friends who are hanging out for the first time."

Except it wouldn't be. Like I said, Walker had been my celebrity crush since I saw him in The Adam Project. I already gave up the idea we would meet, let alone be dating, a while ago. I just watched his movies and occasionally said 'he's cute.' Well, not occasionally. If you asked anyone who knew me, I would only talk about him. Its even ruined a friendship. The infatuation I had with him was probably unhealthy, so I forgot about even meeting him. Until we really did meet.

"I suppose I might be able to go. Its just gonna be awkward."

"Well, that's all part of the process." I laughed after F/N said this. What process? Us eventually getting together? Forget about it.

At 3:30, I left F/N's house and headed toward the park. Walker and I had decided to go to the park and walk around. It was pretty close to the main town. Surprisingly, Walker didn't live too far from me. I walked, but Walker had his dad drop him off.

After waiting for a good ten minutes, he pulled up on the side of the street. When he got out, I was immediately nervous. It still hadn't hit me I guess, because walking over i almost tripped over the sidewalk. Luckily, nobody saw.

I said hi to his father, and he left. It was now just me, Walker, and the millions of butterflies in my stomach.

{~walkers pov~}

As I walked out of the car, I saw him walking toward me. Y/N. He spoke to my dad for a short amount of time. While he did, I couldn't help but stare. I shouldn't be staring. I shouldn't have these feelings for Y/N. That would mean I was... not that there's anything wrong with that. I just couldn't imagine it myself.

Y/N had first come to my attention after watching a movie with my family. He was one of the supporting characters. I thought his acting was pretty good, but that's the last time I thought about him. When I got home from meeting the cast, I looked his name up, which led me to his Instagram. I scrolled through it for probably 15 minutes. Weird, I know. I wasn't trying to be a stalker or anything, I just kind of liked the way he looked. Nothing wrong with that, right?

I got his number after messaging what I assumed to be a friend. His name was F/N or something along the lines of that. I planned to just play a game or two. A game or two probably turned into a couple dozen. We were playing for way too long. When he got off, I couldn't stop thinking about my feelings toward him. It was a feeling I had never had before, not even for any of the girls I've liked. 4AM is when I fell asleep. I'm still not sure how I feel about Y/N.

{~Y/N's pov~}

I tried to start a conversation as we were walking. "Do you come out here alot?"

"Yeah actually, I try to come once a week. I like to watch the geese." Weird, but okay.

"I used to come here a lot, but not as much anymore. Just never had time." I wasn't lying. Me and my family used to go to the park almost everyday after school. I don't know why we stopped, to be honest. Maybe we got too old for it.

As we walked, it was getting pretty cloudy out. The forecast didn't say there would be any rain, so we were pretty confident it wouldn't. When we arrived to the pond, we sat down. This was interrupted seconds later, when out of nowhere, it was sprinkling. "Should we take shelter?" Walker said, with a half smile on his face. "Probably." I replied.

The idea was we would make it into some kind of store before it started raining harder. For some reason, Walker was walking slow (ironic isn't it) and before we knew it, it was pouring. We had to run as fast as we could. I could tell Walker was starting to slip, so I grabbed his hand. I wasn't even thinking about how weird that would look in the moment. I kept hold of his hand, and we ran together, into a random shop in the town.

After making it, we took a second to catch our breath. A minute of running will really do a toll on someone. The store we landed in was a fair sized ice cream parlor. I had been there before, they had some good ice cream.

"Jeez, I thought we'd never get away." I joked. Terrible, I know.

"I know, and thank for helping me not fall." Walker replied, and winked at me. He winked at me. Why did he wink at me?

{~walker's pov~}

"I know, and thank for helping me not fall." I replied, and winked at Y/N. I winked at him. Why did I wink at him?

Visibly stunned, he said "Well.. I'm gonna go order a cone." I hope I didn't ruin anything. the wink just came out.

{~Y/N's pov~}

I was dumbfounded. Walker winked. At me. I was a little honored, if it wasn't already obvious. I may be infatuated with this man, but I was unsure about it all still. I mean, at this point I knew something was up. I just couldn't figure out what. I would find out soon.

I returned to the table with my mint chocolate chip ice cream (the best flavor) and sat down. I was gonna try to get my mind off what had just happened.

The next three minutes were pretty much all silence. Walker was on his phone, and I was eating the ice cream. Might of been the most awkward situation i had ever found myself in. After a while of just sitting there, Walker randomly started talking.

"So is this like.. a..." It sounded like he didn't want to say what he wanted to say. "A date?"

My body froze when I heard him say that. At this point, I hadn't seen it as a date. Like F/N said, it was just going to be two friends going to the park, walking around, sitting at the pond, running in the rain together holding hands...

Oh my god. This might be a date.
