Episode 3

Its been four months now, that we have known each other. I have always thought of hanging out with him but never really got the courage to ask him. I am still not sure if I should say it. I was really happy when he insisted on baking together. But a part of me is so worried .. maybe he didn't like me in that way.. or he was just wanting to be friends. It didn't matter either way. I decided I was gonna ask him out.

I picked up the phone and began to dial his number. I pressed call and put the phone against my ear. It rang a couple of time before it was picked up. It was Shawn " hello, this is Shawn speaking."

I hesitated for a bit before replying " uh.. hey.. This is willow."

" Oh hey willow," he said.

I smiled and took a deep breath, " uh.. hey, do you.. think maybe... " I began and took a while before proceeding. He sat there quietly waiting for me to finish. " Uhm do you.. think that maybe.. I and you.. could like.. to go ughh..." I tried to think of a way to word it but couldn't. Before I could say anything,

" Let's hang out this weekend," he said with a small titter.

We planned the date to be on Sunday, we decided that we just go to the movies and I was honestly really excited about it.

The day of the date finally came, I had just gotten out of the shower and decided to get changed. I picked ripped denim short, an oversize t-shirt and a pair of my favourite sneakers for my outfit tonight.I walked to the bathroom to brush my hair then put on some light makeup. And then and I left the house.

He was waiting there, in front of my house.

He looked nice like really nice. He dressed kinda simple. But it looked really good. He opened the car door, " Hi " he said smiling. I smiled back "Hey " I replied trying not to show my nervousness.

We sat there for a while before he started the car. The ride was awkward for a while until Shawn spoke, " what movie genres do you like? ". He said in order to break the ice. "I really like sci-fi movies " I replied. We talked the whole day thereafter.

The theatre is so dark. But he shines so brightly. Which makes it hard for me to concentrate on the film.

All I could think about is how fortunate I am to be there with him. By the time we got out of the theatre, it was dark.

We began walking towards the car before I grabbed his arm " hey, let's go to the park for a bit. Let's have ice cream there." He smiled and nodded shyly. He began walking towards the park with me by his side.

[Shawn's pov]

" Sit down and rest for a while I will go to buy something to eat," I said.

" I'll go. I'll go! I know that there's a great ice cream shop nearby." She said in excitement. Her smile..

I wish I could explain how I feel when she smiles. The way my world is brightened up by her smile, I cannot describe. All I know is that the best times in my life are when she is smiling at me. I will work toward keeping that smile on her face every day. And even when we are apart, keep smiling for I will feel it wherever I am.

[ They didnt need words. They just looked at each other and smile.]

She came back with two Chocolate Almond ice creams. She sat down beside me.

[End of Shawn's pov]

He has beautiful eyes. The kind you could get lost in.. and I guess I did.

[No sooner had they started enjoying their moment than Shawn received a phone call.]

" Oh I gotta take this call," he said hurriedly.

" Oh ok " I replied.

He stood a little far from me as he answered the call.

" Hey," he said. "what! you hurt your leg on the road? Gosh why are you clumsy..! Ok wait there I am gonna pick you up. " he said and hung up his phone.

He came near me and he said " uh, Willow I am really sorry but I don't think I can spend the rest of the evening with you today. Umm, you see my friend hurt her leg ..and I need to pick her up from the hospital. "

" Oh, it's completely okay. You should go now and check on her" I replied.

"Thank you willow. How about I drop you at your home?" He said and we walked towards his car.

Not very long after that, we reached my home and parted ways.
