Today is it! It's the day of my date with Tom!! I'm scared, excited and nervous!

Let me text him and find out where we are going!

Text to Tom: Hey! Just wanted to ask, where are we going for the date?

Reply from Tom: I want it to be a surprise so I'll just tell you one thing; we will be out for a long time and it is going to be to somewhere very special.

Text to Tom: OK. I love surprises! Can't wait, see you then!

Reply from Tom: Me neither!

1pm

Hannah on the phone: Girl, you've got to come quick! I have one hour left 'til the date and I need help with my makeup!

Jenny over the phone: Calm down! Get dressed and when I come, I'll do your make up for you.

Hannah over the phone: Thanks hun!

*End call*

I guess I should wear my red dress since it's more special! And hot!

Oooo!! My outfit looks great!!!

*Ding Dong*

Yay!! Jenny's here!

I ran downstairs and opened the door.

Hannah: Aghh! Jenny!! Thank God you're here!

Jenny: Come on! Let's go do your makeup! We have half am hour 'til the date!

We went up the stairs and I got my makeup out, ready for Jenny to do it.

25 long minutes later:

Jenny: Ta da!!

Hannah: OMG!! I look amazing! You're boss Jenny!! Love you!!

Jenny: We have 5 more minutes! Let me do your hair quickly!!

5 minutes later

Jenny: Done!

Hannah: Thanks girl!!

*Ding Dong*

Hannah: Aghh!!! It's Tom! I'm so nervous!

Jenny: Don't worry girl! Go get 'im tiger!

Hannah: See you after the date!

I walked down the stairs and gently unlocked the door. Opening the door, I noticed a glimsp of his deep blue eyes. Remembering of the sky when we met, I realized that we had met near New York's Tower of Love.

I guess the myth is real. I whispers to myself as I let out a small chuckle.

Hannah: Hey.

Tom: You...you look beautiful. Your hair...it's amazing!

Hannah: hehe

I let out a little chuckle and blushed, leaving my cheeks red.

Hannah: Well all the credit goes to my friend Jenny. She helped me with everything.

Tom: Well she did a great job!

Hannah: Can I know where was are going now?

Tom: Soz but...it's a surprise!

Hannah: You and your surprise!

I hopped into his car and he drove really fast. I noticed that he was heading towards New York's Tower of Love.

Tom: We're Here! I got you here only because... Well maybe, just maybe, I thought it will be cute to have our first date where we first met?

Hannah: I wouldn't have it any other way!

Tom: Let's go in.

We talked and talked for hours. Before we knew it, times was over and it was sunset.

I noticed how the city brightened by the lights. The night was beautiful.

Our first date had been cracking sidewalks and watery sunshine that struggled past the clouds. They had made several loops of their block, how many neither of them can recall. On the first few circuits the talk had been shy, almost becoming familiar and then each of them backing away. Another few circuits and they knew more about one another than many members of their own family, their fingers entwined in a loose grip. On the final loop around Tom had pulled Hannah close into a kiss that stopped all her anxious thoughts dead in their tracks. They forgot about everyone else and stayed locked lips. When they released the kiss, Hannah smiled leaving Tom in shock.

When the twilight fades to blackness it lights a fire inside my guts. It burns away the drabness of the day, the clock in and the clock out, the mechanized life, robotic and cold. The night means downtown is lit by the neon lights of the clubs and bars, shinning on the rain-kissed sidewalks. At night you can be anybody and no-one cares who you really are. So in my retro outfit from an era even my mother never knew, I step into the darkness. The stars are somewhere behind the haze of black cloud that is stretched thinly above and the transitory moonlight bleaches the grey-scale world momentarily, and then it is gone. My mind is a blur with possibilities, each more fanciful than the next. The scenery left a much more sweeter tone. The clouds flying within the sky and the wind gently howling, blowing the leaves across the place.

It was the best date I'd ever had.
