For both Tucker and Ella, the next day came pretty fast and before they knew it, the two were walking down the street of downtown Boston.

Ella had to admit, that Tucker was hotter in real life. She imagined playing with his longish dark curls, her hand running down his sharp jawline. Fuck this kid was going to be the death of her and they barely knew each other.

"So you good at any sports?" Tucker asks, "I play volleyball, and in high school I did soccer but I stopped so now it's just volleyball." Ella answers, "Yeah, River was talking about how good you were at volleyball last night." he replies. "I guess I'm just that good." She fake brags, brushing "dust" off of her shoulders.

They find an arcade and decide to go there. Ella begins to take out her phone to vlog but Tucker pushes her hand down gently.

"If you don't mind, I don't want to vlog our first date," he speaks quietly. "Y- you want this to be our first date?" Ella questions, "Kinda yeah." he replies shyly. "If you want this to be our first date it can be our first date." Ella smiles, kissing the boy's nose, resulting in him scrunching it.

So, the two played a few games. Tucker won Ella a little elephant and told her it reminded him of her because of- to quote Tucker- "Ella- phant." which Ella found pretty cute.

After an hour of arcade games, the two went to a small little cafe where they bought sandwiches for lunch and ate out near a fountain.

"So I assume you're single if you let this be the first date?" Tucker assumes, taking a bite out of his sandwich. "Um yeah. I mean there's this guy that's like, he's my celebrity crush and I'm his and we met a few days ago and have been hanging out, but there's nothing official between us." Ella explains. Tucker nods with a smile as he admires the girl.

"What? Do I have mayo or something on my face?" she asks, wiping her face with a smile. "No, you're just really pretty that's all." Tucker says, "Oh, well thank you. I think you're pretty too." Ella replies, tapping the tip of Tucker's nose.

Since they were sitting on the end of the fountain, they got the mist that came from the fountain, but since Ella was a trouble maker, she decided on something else.

"Wanna jump in the fountain?" Ella asks Tucker, standing up from her seat, "Ella we aren't allowed to do that" He replies. "There are a lot of things I do that I'm not supposed to do. Tucker we only live once, might as well live it up." Ella reasons, "Fine." he gives in.

The two throw away their trash and then agree to jump in at the same time. They gave the fountain about 2 feet of water, so they didn't belly flop.

"3...2...1. GO." they both count down at the same time, then run and jump into the fountain. They splash around for about 2 minutes then stop.

"Wanna dance M'lady?" he asks in a terrible British accent with his hand sticking out. "Of course, kind sir," Ella replies and takes his hand.

He twirls her once then pulls her into his chest. They look into the eyes of each other, Tucker glances down at her lips every once in a while.

"You're so fucking beautiful." he whispers, "And you are very gorgeous," Ella replies with a giggle.

"Fuck. What if he kisses me? Should I kiss back? I mean he's really fun but I've only known him since yesterday. But God I want to own his lips so bad right now." Ella's thoughts were stopped as she sees Tucker lean his head near hers, only stopping when their lips are about to touch.

"Can I kiss you?"

Ella was stunned. The only boy she had ever kissed was Baylen and that was when they were still in school. But her kiss count can't only be one at the age of 19. Fuck it. She thought.

Ella nods her head with a smile before Tucker's wet lips had connected to hers.

"I think I'm gonna pick that up as my new hobby." Tucker smirks after pulling away from the girl, "Hmm. Well I think I'll take interest in that hobby too." she replies, giving Tucker one more peck on the lips.

"Wanna go for a swim?" Tucker asks, nodding his head towards the large body of water near them. "Hell yeah." Ella complies and they both get out of the fountain and walk to the seawall where they connect hands before jumping in at the same time.

They swim for a bit before Ella cuts herself on something.

"Shit, I think I cut my leg." Ella winces before pulling herself up on the dock, Tucker doing the same thing. "Are you okay-? Oo shit. Here. Put this against it and I'll take you to my house to clean you up." he asks. Seeing a thick cut all down Ella's leg gushing blood, he gives the girl his shirt to stop it from bleeding.

Tucker carried the girl, bridal style to his car where he helps her in the passenger seat before getting in his own seat. He drives her to his house and helps guide her to the bathroom where he got his first aid kit out.

He cleans the cut and then bandages it, smiling up at the girl who had winced several times.

"All done, no more blood. Perfect like always," he says, pecking the girl's lips. "Thank you, Tucker," Ella whispers, leaning her forehead against his.

She knew that something about this "relationship" was wrong. She knew it wasn't Matt. She knew that the lips she continued to kiss weren't Matt's, the hugs weren't from Matt. The dates weren't with Matt. But maybe, she didn't need Matt as a boyfriend. Maybe the plan was for Matt to just be a friend to Ella.

"Ella, will you be my girlfriend?" Tucker whispers, "I know it's like really short notice, but I think- I know you're the one for me." he adds. "Yes I'll be your girlfriend." she smiles before kissing the boy.

Fuck. What have I gotten myself into?
