Later on, Ashley and I were holding hands in the hallway. Chelsea noticed this and walked towards us. “Hello girls,” said Chelsea.

“Hey,” Ashley and I stated in unison.

“So it’s about time you guys got together,” smiled Chelsea. I thought you guys would get together at the retirement home. Ashley and I laughed at Chelsea’s joke.

“I have to head to class,” Ashley stated. Ashley kissed me softly on the lips. I returned the kiss. Ashley stopped the kiss and walked away.

“So what did I miss?” asked a curious Chelsea.

“Ashley finally asked me out today,” I answered.

“Wow,” said Chelsea. I bet you’re really excited and also nervous.

“Yeah, I am,” I replied. I need you to do me a favor.

“Sure, what’s up, Spence?” asked Chelsea.

“I hope that I look my best for Ashley,” I answered.

“Ashley likes you for who you are,” said Chelsea.

“I know, but I’m not dressing up like the last time you did a makeover,” I replied.

A couple days later, it was the night with my date with Ashley. Ashley rang the doorbell. I went to open the door and there was a smile was on her lips. “Hey beautiful,” smiled Ashley.

“Hey, Ash,” I said. Chelsea curled my hair for the night. I decided to wear my contact lenses. I had put some makeup on for tonight. I wore a blue, knee length dress. As for Ashley, she also wore a dress, however it was black.

“You look really beautiful for the night,” smiled Ashley.

“Thanks so do you,” I responded.

“Here, these are for you,” stated Ashley. Ashley handed me a bouquet of roses.

“Aw, they’re beautiful,” I smiled. Thank you. My Dad appeared.

“So you’re Ashley,” began my Dad.

“Dad,” I said. Go easy on her. I went to put the roses in a vase and I walked back towards Ashley and my Dad.

“What are your intentions with my daughter?” asked my Dad.

“Mr. C, I really love your daughter,” Ashley answered. I just want to be with her. I want to protect her. I want to take care of her. Is that a good enough answer? Ashley let out a nervous laugh.

“Yes, it’s a good enough answer,” stated my Dad.
