Scott's POV

I was so ready for this date with the girl I knew was the one.

"She's definitely falling for you tonight." Mitch said. "How could she not?"

"I'm nervous." I finally admitted.

"You sure that isn't just fear?" he asked.

"What makes you think that?" I asked.

"Because that's what love does." He said.

"She feels the same." He added, "I hear she has some trust issues."

No, not Andrea.

"W-where did you hear that." I asked.

"That friend of hers, Sam, well she liked me, and it looks like were dating now." He said.

"She told me everything, because apparently the story goes that Andrea really likes you," he added, "and that she was beaten and nearly killed by her ex." He said

"And that's why she's afraid." I added.

I admit, I am afraid to love. Not just love, but to love her. For she is a stunning mystery.

She carries things inside her that no one has yet to understand, and I, I am afraid to fail, like the others.

She is the ocean, and I'm just a boy who loves the waves, but is completely terrified to swim.

Andrea's POV

"You look amazing! Blue really flatters everything about you honestly." Sam exclaimed.

I just chuckled at her and rolled my eyes.

"What? I'm just being honest. He'll love you, I promise." She said.

Funny how she whispered the word promise when she said it.

Because whispers make promises. Promises that can't be broken.

After I finished applying my makeup and getting dressed, I got a knock on the door. It was him.

Scott.

"Hey, come in." I said giving him a hug. "So where are we headed?"

"That's the thing, we have to stay here, the weather's getting bad, and they said to stay inside. We can't go anyway, the roads are closed." He explained.

"Hey, Andi, I'm gonna spend the night at Mitch's, maybe Scott could spend the night here?" Sam said.

I glanced at him, he gave me a nod of approval.

"Yeah, that sounds fine, have fun." I said.

After they left I just had one question for Scott:

"Can I change? I mean we can't go anywhere." I asked.

"We'll probably both me more comfortable that way." He agreed.

I went to the bathroom and stripped out of my dress, then threw those dreadful heels off.

I pulled on some leggings and an oversized shirt, I took my hair of the tight bun and then brushed over it, letting it down and just letting it flow.

"I like you more this way" Scott said as soon as I walked out of the bathroom.

"so, do you wanna watch a movie?" he asked.

"No, I wanna get to know you." I said.

"Why?" he asked.

"I want you to read me the chapter you don't read out loud." 

Lets just say he told me everything great, his fears, hope, dreams, and then I told him mine. And what happens next is just as beautiful, if not more.

Oh, the strange changes.
