User blog:IonicZach/Date with a Dullahan Part 1

"Yahoo!" I exclaim to an empty home with a huge grin on my face, doing some sort of small excitement dance. I still can't believe it, I was finally able to ask out my crush, the cutest girl in town (in my opinion), and she said yes!

In my excitement, I keep replaying the days events leading up to this in my head. It all started when I told one of my friends about my feelings for her just wanting to tell it to somebody, and in response he suggests that I just ask her out. Of course I tell him "It's not that easy."

"Well if you won't, I will." He says slowly starting to walk away, but I stop him and say "Fine, I'll do it." He just smirks and gives a gesture with his hands as if to say "Go ahead."

Brimming with determination, I looked all over town until I finally found her. "Elizabeth!" I yell to get her attention. Hearing me she turns, smiles and waves towards me.

Walking up to her, I take my time to admire her visage in the least creepy way I can manage.

She has a slender, but well developed, build with pale-ish skin; pointy ears, which I always chalked up to her being part elf or something; bright, almost otherworldly, green eyes; a very light dusting of freckles around her nose; and long platinum blonde hair, I've always wondered if the color's natural.

The thing that stands out most about her is the long, red scarf she wears all the time, and I do mean all the time. Winter, summer, spring, autumn the scarf is always there and any time I ask if she would like to take it off, she'd politely refuse.

"Hey, Robin. H-how's it going? A-also, you don't have to use my full name, just Ellie is fine" She asks me, her cheeks faintly turning red.

"G-good, b-but listen, there's something I've been needing to ask you." I stutter out, feeling my face starting to burn up.

"Hm?" she says, her blush getting redder upon noticing mine, probably knowing where this is going.

Summoning up all my courage, I take a deep breath and come out with it. "Elllie! Would you like to go on a d-date sometime?"

I look back towards Ellie only to see her face completely red and her trying to cover it up with her hands. My god, that's adorable! I think to myself. A few seconds later, she finally looks into my eyes, smiling, and says "I'd be happy to. What should we do?"

My heart leaps when I hear her words of acceptance, then I think for a bit about what we'd actually do, I didn't bother thinking of this before since I never expected to even get this far. After a second I suggest "How about we go to the cafe tomorrow night, is that alright with you?"

She nods, and we both decide that I'll meet her at her place and walk with her to the cafe. We say our goodbyes, and go our seperate ways, both of us eagerly awaiting tomorrow night. This brings us back to now where I've finally settled down seeing as how it became evening I decide to turn it in for the day, though I sleep about as well as a kid the day before Christmas.
