I spent the rest of the day helping Millie with her homework, watching movies, and talking to my parents a lot.
When it was almost six o'clock, I began to straighten myself.
When I went to my closet, I was stabbed by a pink knee-length dress. I've never had it on in my life as I wanted to save it for something very special.
I had the feeling I could wear it today, but decided to go for a black, simple dress. Not noticeable or anything. I also took flat ballerinas and a small handbag.
I straightened my hair and put on some make-up.
"Wow, Lili, are you my Lili" my mother asked proudly when she came into my room.
"You have grown up so much," she sobbed and a tear ran down her cheek.
Immediately I hugged her, which made her laugh.
"You don't even know how proud we are of you" she smiled and kissed me on the cheek.
"I love you," I whispered. "But now hurry, should Timothy wait," she shooed me out the door.
I ran up to our garden gate, where he was just pulling up a cute little car.
"Good evening" he grinned at me and gave me a kiss on the hand.
He was really cute.
"Good evening" I replied and walked next to him to his car.

He drove off slowly, I could see by his hand that he was excited.One thing was clear to me, I hadn't had anything to do with him for a long time, but I wanted him as a friend, even if a relationship didn't work out.

When we were at a little little amusement park outside of town, he stopped.
The park wasn't huge, it was small, cozy and resembled a Christmas market.
When we got out, he took my hand and walked towards the entrance.
Wow.
I wouldn't have dared to do it, but it was cute.
At the entrance we were greeted by a bear mascot that checked our bags. I only had my smallest bag with me to stow my phone and wallet.
"All right, you can go in," he said when he looked through them and moved to the side.

We walked the streets of the park and rode a couple of roller coasters.
It was funny, even if he'd probably throw up straight away if we drove a little more.
"I think I'm bad," he laughed and propped himself up on his knees.
"Wait here for a moment, I'll get you a Coke," I replied before he really hands over.
"Thank you" he said and took a sip from his bottle. "Better" I asked and he nodded with a smile.
"You are the best," he added and kissed my cheek.
We talked a lot, laughed at everything, but had we just become very good friends in that short time?
"Hey look at the Ferris wheel, shall we go?" He asked with a grin and I nodded uncertainly.I was afraid of heights, but how should he know and I don't want to ruin it all for him.
I ran next to him on weak knees and finally got into our compartment.
When the big part started moving, I tried to breathe calmly.
Halfway through when it stopped and we were hanging at the top, it became too much for me.
I put my hands in the leather seat and chewed my lip.
"Lili, everything's okay, calm down," said Timothy, sliding a little towards me, the gondola moving slightly. "Stop it," I said aloud.
"Quiet, come here," he said, leaning an arm around me.
He made me look at him not to look down.
"You could have told me that you are afraid of heights" he breathed.
"Probably so," I replied, pretending to be calm. Well inside, I was just dying in all the possible ways there were.
And then the bike started moving again, when we were finally down I literally jumped out of the gondola and sat down on a bench.
"Lili, everything is okay, you really could have said no," he said and sat down next to me.
"I know" I lied, I probably would have ruined the mood, but I really only saw him as a friend.
That certain something was missing.
Unsure, he ran through his brown hair and smiled at me."I think we should go slowly, it is really late," I said, slightly shocked when I looked at the clock. It was already after 11 pm and very dark. The park was half empty, only a few people were walking through it Streets, although most of them were probably drunk.
"Yes, that's right," he said and got up. I did the same and now we walked side by side to the car.

I wouldn't say the date was bad, but it was definitely not worth repeating.
But how should I tell him that we should just stay friends. I felt like we could become best friends. Just like Niall and I used to be.
I didn't have butterflies in my stomach or the need to look me in the eyes for hours.

When we got to his car, he drove off again.
The ride was relatively quiet, but I had to tell him. I didn't want him to have hopes, I didn't like having or having false hopes.
When we stopped in front of my parents' house, I stayed seated and didn't get out of the car straight away.
"The date was really very nice," I began.
"But" he interrupted me.
"I don't think we can be more than friends" I said honestly and looked at him encouragingly.
