Here's a long chapter for yall.

Prarthana’s P.O.V

I still don’t get why Tridha asked me to get all dolled up.  I walk into her room to see her and Matt talking to each other.

"Hey guys." I say to both of them

"Hey" they both say together and then giggle. Aweee goalss

"Can I talk to you for a minute Tridha?" I ask her

"Yeah. of course." She says and walks out.

"What’s up?" She asks once we are sitting on the couch in our living room.

"I don’t get why you asked me to get all dolled up. You wanna explain?" I say

"Everything will be explained in a few minutes. Trust me Prat. And btw, you look gorgeous." She says giving me an ear to ear smile.

"Thanks Tridha." I say and bring her in for a hug. "You and Matt seem to be hitting it off well." I continue

"Yeaaaa. I really really like him Prat. When I got up this morning I saw 2 pillows in between us. And then I saw his face. He looked so freaking adorable. I wanted to kiss him so bad." She says blushing so much.

I laugh and then whisper "I wanna tell you a secret T."

"And what might that be." She says trying to wiper back. She freaking sucks at whispering.

"I spoke to Matt yesterday and he told me that he really likes you T." As soon as I said that she got up and started jumping up and down just like how I did when I found out that Ethan liked me back.

"So do you think it will be extra weird if I walk into my room and kiss Matt." She says finally stopping her jumping

"Would you mind if I watch?" I ask her getting up from the couch

"Not at all." She says that and runs into her room.

I run behind her and watch what happens. Matt was standing and looking at his phone, She literally yells Matt and then jumps into his arms and gives him a small peck on the lips and hugs him and says. "I like you too Matt." I see Matt surprised as ever as he says "I like you more T." As they tighten their hug a little more.

Aweee. My baby sister just had her first kiss. I’m so happy for her
“Whooooo” I yell out loud and hear Matt and Tridha laugh

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. I wasn’t expecting anyone so I thought it could be for Tridha or Matt. I opened the door to see Ethan standing outside with a bouquet of flowers. What the real heck was going on?

"Prarthana, this might seem really unexpected, but will you go out on a date with me?" He says blushing a bit and handing the bouquet of flowers to me. I couldn’t believe this was happening. I was soo freaking happy. I take the flowers from him.

"I would love to." As soon as I said that I felt a whole bunch of butterflies in my stomach. Oh shit! This is going to happen every second of today.

I keep the flowers on the house and then walk out with Ethan.

"Can I know where we are going?" I ask Ethan as we walk to the car.

"First we are going for lunch at my favorite Chinese restaurant and the rest is a surprise." Ethan says

"I gotta mention, I’m vegetarian." I say looking at him.

"Then I guess I am also vegetarian for today." He says sweetly. That is the cutest thing he has said so far.

"I also wanted to say this before but I was kinda nervous." He says scratching his head a little as we approach the car.

"There is really no need to be nervous Ethan. You can say whatever it is you want to." I reply back to him

"I think you look absolutely gorgeous every single day that I have looked at you. I have wanted to say this from the first day I saw you. I was just to scared to." His cheeks and mine both a bright red now.

"Thank you so much. No one ever says things like to me, other than Tridha. Plus you shouldn’t be scared to tell someone that they look good. It only increases their sled esteem you know." I say truthfully feeling my cheeks cool down a bit  "And I must say, you are also a very good looking guy."

He chuckles and says "Thank you Prarthana."

Ethan’s P.O.V

We both sit in my car and head off to the Chinese place. We have a sweet conversation on our way there. Just getting to know each other a bit better. As soon as we get there we order what we want and start eating. And then all of a sudden my jam plays on the radio, but it wasn’t long before I saw that it wasn’t just my jam. it was Prarthana’s jam also. My all time favorite song was playing. Sunset Lover - Petit Buiscuit. Me and Prarthana both jammed to this song for as long as it played.

"That song is my all time favorite song." She says

"Mine too." I say looking at her. She looked so freaking cute. I wanted to give her a big hug.

We spoke and laughed for as long as we were there. She didn’t let me pay the whole bill so we spilt it. She an absolute sweetheart.

"You ready for the surprise?" I ask her

"I’m very excited." She said as she got into the car.

"It’s gonna be an hour drive though." I say as I get into the car.

"That’s okay with me. I got my music playlist all ready to jam to." She says getting her phone out and plugging it into my aux cord.

I laugh and reply "Awesome. Let’s get on the road."

We jammed to her music so much. It was so much fun seeing her crazy side.

"We still have abt half an hour to get there." I say

"It’s all good. Don’t worry about it." She says smiling.

A few minutes later. Tridha face times us.

"Hey guys! What’s up?" She asks looking happier that ever. Behind her are Grayson and Matt. I wonder what Gray is doing there with them. I guess he got bored without me.

"Heyy T. I guess you couldn’t live without me for more than a few hours so u called to say u miss me?" Prarthana says giggling through the sentence.

"Nope I don’t miss you one bit sissy." She says laughing back and then winking back at her like she’s just kidding .

"I was just calling to let you know that we are going out for some paint ball, lazer tag and maybe some movies. So have fun at your date guys." She says looking pretty excited

"Have fun guys." Prarthana says back

"Byee. Love you." T says and ends the call

"Is Tridha always so happy? And Smiling?" I ask Prarthana cuz I have never seen that girl not smiling

"She is usually always smiling. No matter what. But sometimes she gets really moody. But other wise she is really nice to be around." She says truthfully, looking at me. Unfortunately I can’t look back at her cuz I’m driving. But I could stare at that face all day.

"You are also very nice to be around Prarthana." I say giving her a small glimpse and then turning back to the road

"So are you E." She says "I’m having a lot of fun." She says squeezing my hand.

"Oh Pineapple. The fun is just about to begin." I say laughing a bit now

"Pineapple?" She says laughing loudly now

"Yeah. I don’t know. I think I’m gonna call you that from time to time." I say laughing at myself.

"Okay." She says still laughing a bit
"Can I know where we are going now?" She asks seeming curious

"Well Tridha told me that you like amusement parks and fairs. So I found out about this fair that is taking place for the whole week and thought I would get you here. We are almost there." I say looking at her now that we are at a signal light. I honestly wanna kiss her right now.

"Aweee that’s so sweet. Thank you so much." She says looking right at me. Damn her eyes. 😍

"No need to thank me. I just want u to have fun." I say driving now that the signal light is green.

"We are here!" I say super excited about this.

She doesn’t even say anything. She gets out the car and just looks around. I also get out the car and go to stand next to her. She turns towards me and hugs me. OMGG!  I’m about to burst, that’s how many butterflies are in my stomach right now.

"It’s so beautiful." She says looking up at me.

"Lets go." I say hold her hand and run inside like little kids.

We go on a whole bunch of rides. We play a whole bunch of arcade games and now we are standing in line to go on a gondola ride.

"I’m so excited for this." She says clapping her hands together like a little girl.

"I am too" I say clapping my hands and mimicking her.

"Don’t mimic me mister." She says smacking my arm.

Right as she says that I look at her in her eyes and reach down to hold her hands. She holds onto my hands, smiles looks down and blushing. She just keeps getting cuter and cuter. A few seconds later it’s our turn to get on the ride. We don’t let go of each other’s hands though. We walk into the ride, let go of our hands and sit across from each other. As the ride starts I get a bit anxious.

"I’m a bit scared of heights Prarthana." I say honestly

"It’s okay. I used to be too. Tridha helped me. And now I’ll help you with it." She says holding onto my hand and getting up.

"Forget that you are on this ride. Just think that you are sitting on the balcony of your house. Look at the sky and how beautiful it looks right now. Feel the breeze touch your skin and think of everybody and everything you love. Play your favorite song if it helps."
I follow and listen to everything she says. It’s as if she is a siren pulling me out of my worst dreams.

"Do you feel better E?" She asks drawing circles on my hand as she holds onto them.

"Much better." I say looking at her now. We just stare at each other for a little bit and then I say

"I have liked you since the day I first saw you Pineapple." I say smiling

"Feelings mutual E." She says and as soon as she says that I hold on to her other hand. And lean in.

She leans in too and I just close my eyes and let it happen. It was the most magical kiss I have had. We stop and just look at each other and then hug.

"Was it just me, or did that feel magical?" She says coming out the hug.

"It’s the most magical kiss I’ve had." I say honestly

"It was my first kiss." She says looking at me, blushing a bit

"Then I’m glad it was with me." I say as the ride stops and we get out.

"We just have to do one last thing." I say holing her hand.

"What might that be?" She asks looking at me.

"I’m gonna win you that stuffed toy." I say pointing at the unicorn in one of the game stalls

"Let’s do it." She says and drags me to the stall 

I try I few times and fail but on my 5th try I finally win it and Prarthana goes crazy. She gets up and starts jumping. Then jumps on my back, kisses me on the cheek and says "Thank you my love." Right when she say that I hand her the unicorn  and say.

"Your welcome Pineapple." and we leave.

When we get in the car she kisses me on the cheek and says "Thank you for the best first date ever E."

"Thank you for making it better than it would be with any other girl." After that I drove back home as my Pineapple fell asleep.

I took a few pictures of her and when we got home I carried her to my apartment to see that no one was there. I put her on my bed and walked to the kitchen to see a note from Grayson. It said "Sleeping over at Tridha’s bro. Good night." after I saw that I texted Tridha, Matt and Gray on a group chat saying "Just got home. Prarthana is asleep and sleeping on my bed. I’m gonna sleep on Gray’s bed tonight. Good night guys."

I went into my room and saw how cute she looked even in her sleep and slept on Grayson’s bed.
