"I just don't get why they're...floating." William confessed.

It was only Willie and I in the apartment, watching the end credits of the "P.S. I Still Love You" movie. Timmy was out getting some groceries and Louis had left during my first nap of the day.

"I didn't like this movie that much. They missed very big key parts of the whole book. Willie, when I tell you that the book made me want to rip my hair out. It made me want to rip my hair out. I had to take breathers because I was so frustrated." I told him as I put some chocolate into my mouth.

My head was laying on his lap and his left hand ran through my hair, his other holding his phone.

"Did you cry? Wait I already know the answer, of course you did." He told me, making me close my mouth because it was true. I cry when I get frustrated. That whole book was an emotional rollercoaster.

"You know I'm not that emotional Will, you just over exaggerate it." I said slapping his chest. He gave me a shocked look.

He rolled his eyes as he massaged my scalp sending chills down my back, "I'll ignore you said that because you know you are an emotional bitch," I swatted his chest, "If you make me some of those rice krispies again." He was quick to add.

"Maybe, if Kuya doesn't eat them all first. We need more oreos anyways, Alex runs into the apartment and snags them all and leaves." Willie let out a chuckle.

I turned my head slightly to look out the windows. It was bright day outside, good enough day to go out and play tennis, but my arms felt too sore and I didn't have the energy.

I turned my head back to face Will. I looked up at him through my lashes as my head sat on his lap, my arms hugging his thigh. Addie and him would make such a cute couple, I thought to myself.

Willie was staring at his phone when I spoke up, "Willie you're my best friend you know that right?"

He looked down at me, putting his phone down at his side. "Yes I know, you already your mine." He assured me.

"So you promise you'll tell me if you're seeing someone right?" I asked.

His face faltered a bit, it happened so quick that you wouldn't have noticed, but I did. "Yeah of course." I knew that was true, I also knew he has been texting Addie since we played the other day. I should ask her to meet up.

I nodded my head and turned my head back up to the ceiling, as Willie looked at the space above me, "I'm taking a nap, don't move." I told him as I adjusted my body on the couch and my head on his lap.

"I won't." And then I closed my eyes.

———————————————

"Go, man go!" I heard someone cry out.

I slowly opened my eyes and let them adjust to the brightness of the room. A shine of bright orange flashed through the curtains as I looked up to see Willie smiling in the direction of the door. "Who are you talking to?" I asked him, my voice raspy.

Willie's head shot down to mine, he cleared his throat. "Oh uh, Alex came to snag some lemonade. He didn't want to get caught." His voice was raspy as well, he probably fell asleep too.

I sat up from Willie's lap and rubbed my eyes, opening them back up and the stars disappearing, I saw that the sun was starting to set outside.

"Is Lou not back yet? He's been gone all day." Willie looked back at me with a shocked face.

"Oh has he? I didn't even notice." He checked his phone, reading a notification he had gotten. "Oh shit..um." He faced me then to his phone, his head snapping between us both. "I'm gonna go out with Addie, you wanna come? Great okay, go change in your room, hurry up." He didn't let me have a chance to speak before he rushed me up from the couch and towards my bedroom, closing the door behind me.

Okay, weird. I said to myself, I didn't feel like third wheeling with them, but then again Willie always third wheel with Lou and I. But then again he was oblivious and didn't realize it.

I was about to object to me going out with them before I turned to face my bed, seeing a dress sitting on top of it. Clearly confused, I walked over to it, grabbing the note that was laid next to it.

"Wear this." Was all it said.

I looked around my room searching for another hint to this weird command but never found one. So of course, I put on the dress.

It was a beautiful floral tie dress. It was light blue with mini flowers decorated around it. The dress fit snugly above my waist, as it was flowy around my thighs. I looked at myself in the mirror. It was the dress you eye in the window of the store but never end up buying.

I put on a little makeup as my eye bags were showing, when I noticed a note snuck between my makeup brushes.

"You don't need makeup, you're already beautiful. Go out to the dining room, there's a note sitting on the table."

I put on makeup anyways.

Following the notes instructions, I went out to the dining room. And like it promised there was a note waiting to be read on the table.

"Go up to the rooftop."

Oh my god...am i going to meet a serial killer? Was the first thought going through my head. Noticing Willie had left me behind, I shot him a text.

ami 🙄

willie 🥱

ami 🙄

* ami 🙄 has shared her location with you *

willie 🥱

ami 🙄

ami 🙄

willie 🥱

ami 🙄

willie 🥱

bye

Shutting off my phone as I read Willie's text, I grabbed my keys that held a pepper spray keychain on it. Just in case.

I went into the elevator and pressed on the top floor that led me to a staircase...that had red petals scattered around the floor. Ok so my killer is a romantic I see.

I slowly opened the door that led to the rooftop to a blue and purple sky greet me. Lanterns hung from the poles around the corners. Red and pink petals scattered around the floor. With a blanket and pillow sitting in the middle of it.

I stared at the scene in awe when I heard a groan beside me. "Oh fuck." The voice muttered. I turned to see Louis's back facing me as he fixed something on the table in front of him.

I cleared my throat as he jumped turning to face me. A scared look on his face that soon calmed when he recognized me. He turned to the table and back to me, a nervous look on his face.

Walking towards me, he hugged my waist, his face sat in the crook of my neck. "You look beautiful darling." He whispered.

His breath sending chills down my body. My stomach felt a whole circus.

When he let go, his eyes examined my face as I examined his. His face was full of excitement, which only filled mine with curiosity.

"So what is this Lou?" I asked interlocking our hands as I faced the blanket and pillow sitting on the floor. He rushed me towards the blanket and sat me down, patting my hair as I gave him a confused look.

"Why it's our first date of course." Then he proceeded to walk away back towards the table. Leaving me stunned on the blanket with my dress begging to fly up.

First date??? Holy shit. I knew I should've worn more makeup. I yelled at myself in my head as I looked around. The sun was slowly setting, putting a nice hue of dark blue and purple in the sky. A mix of my favorite shades of colors. The star colored lanterns hanging above us with the red and pink petals surrounding the soft blanket. The air was surprisingly a little warmer than a usual January day, I didn't need a sweater as the heat bouncing off the lit fireplace kept me warm.

I sat up after putting my keys to the side as Louis walked towards me, a tray of food in his hand. I soon recognized the smell. This dude for real got me jollibee.

"You did not." I said as he put the tray in between us. He smirked at me, "Oh but I did." I slapped his hand that rested next to mine. He smiled at me sweetly before standing up abruptly and walked behind a chair, coming back with a bouquet of fresh sunflowers in hand.

A smile immediately came to my face as Louis handed me the flowers. "I asked the florist what flowers were best for the first date." Louis scratched his neck, taking a seat across from me. "We went back and forth but I thought sunflowers were best because they kinda matched your dress and I had bought that one first. The flowers symbolize adoration, longevity, joy, loyalty, and happiness." He said as he put down a finger for each one.

My heart warmed inside me as I imagined Louis running around buying a dress, getting in line for jollibee, and arguing with the florist. He went through all that trouble...for me. And I admired him so much for it.

"But Willie was supposed to let me know when you were coming so I could be prepared. I was gonna stand a couple feet away from the door so when you walk up and open the door, you see me and then the view and I would hold the flowers and guide you to the blanket and hand them to you. But then the fucker didn't text me so I didn't know." Louis rambled out, pulling me from my trance. His face was slightly red and he was panting a bit, but there was a smirk still plastered on his face, making the butterflies in my body go haywire.

"Lou." I put down the flowers next to me and put my hand on top of his. "I love it trust me...I cant believe you went through all this trouble for me." I assured him.

He laughed a bit, gripping my hand in his, "And I'll do it again..BOP BOP" He exclaimed making me laugh.

"You watch my for your page for a day and look at you quoting some of them." I rolled my eyes at him.

"It's not my fault, they're funny." He replied back. "Come on, let's eat, I already got a plate ready for you." He handed me a plate with the exact food I always eat at jollibee with a prepared bowl of gravy on the side.

Holy shit. This guy is whipped if he knows my order so well.

And then we started to eat.

——————————————

My head laid on Louis's chest as we watched the sunset in front of us. His head leaned against mine, as I was sitting in between his thighs. His chest heaved up and down behind me, taking deep breaths. His hands were sitting on my lap holding mine.

We had finished eating and put away the food into the trash, he had bought us boba and some cheesecake which we managed to finish by ourselves. Now we just laid together as we watched the view.

"What are you thinking about?" Louis asked me, his voice raspy since we hadn't talk a while, we were staying silent as we appreciated the scenery. "Just this moment." I felt his head nodded against me.

"What are you thinking about?" I asked him, playing with the silver rings on his finger.

"I'm thinking by which date I should ask you to officially be my girlfriend." He said.

"Now would be great." I replied in an instant. My cheeks warmed at how fast I spoke, my mind didn't realize I had.

I felt his hands move to my hips as he turned my body to face him. There was his infamous smirk on his face, his cheeks tinted pink.

"Now really? You're being serious?" There was such eagerness detected in his voice as I bounced my head up and down, my body feeling giddy. "Yeah I mean we've been acting like one for a while now so."

Then his smirk fell which made me panic. "But I cant ask you now, it'd only ruin the moment. I want the whole thing to be special, to be meaningful, not after our first date." I nodded along with him. I understand where he was coming from. I would want my first future boyfriend to ask me out in a special and meaningful way as well.

"Oh-kay then not now." He pouted at me, making me laugh.

"I'll ask you out soon Azami Navarro, but let us have this moment okay?" I nodded my head again as his face came closer and closer to mine. His face turning to my left as mine turned to my right.

His lips felt as soft as I remember. I'm just glad he wasn't like those guys with chappy lips. I felt his arms snake around my waist pulling me closer to the point I was sitting on his lap. My arms hung around his neck as our kiss deepened. I moved my hand to his hair, my fingers running through his soft silky brown hair, I noticed his heart beating faster than ever.

After sometime we pulled away, both of us catching our breaths and our foreheads leaned against each other.

"Can we take some pictures? You look too gorgeous tonight." He asked after sometime, I raised my head from his chest.

"I uh oh yeah, let me just check myself." I got up from my spot on his lap and walked towards the table, checking myself in the camera of my phone. I noticed my lips were slightly red and plump, with my cheeks looking like red balloons, and my hair was just messy. Putting some lipgloss on and patting down my hair, I walked back to the boy, I knew I couldn't do anything about my cheeks so I just left it at that.

Louis smiled at me as he took out his phone and told me to pose.

"You're doing great sweetie." He'd yell out as I did poses for him. The sunflowers in my hand as props.

"Cmon Lou, let's take pictures together." Louis came to my side, holding the camera in front of us, spamming his phone. I smiled at him as we scrolled through the photos. Happy at where I was and who I was with. I wouldn't want it to be any other way.

I hugged Louis tighter with his arm around my shoulder, giving him a kiss on the cheek. He turned to me and smiled, planting a kiss on my lips, and turning me towards the fully set sun and the blue and purple sky.

I could get used to this.
