Yeah…so clearly nervous I was going to ask….What if we we’re a thing?
Like what? You mean like friends or dating?
He’s struggling with his words but he wants this
Like…dating
what do you mean? I say looking at my mom then back at you confused.
he takes a deep breath I mean, like…you know, a couple? Boyfriend and girlfriend?
Oh uh... for real? I say looking over at him and then my parents
Yeah for real…..I chuckle nervously
what do you mean by that evan? My father asks while drinking whiskey.
looks down at the ground and then back up I mean, like a couple…like, I like your daughter. A lot. And she likes me too.
I look over at her nervously then back down at the ground before continuing
We’ve been together for awhile now and I was wondering what you guys thought about us dating?
My parents both give you nods of approval.
He looks shocked, and then a grin breaks out on his face. He gets up off the grass, slinging his guitar over his shoulder and comes to you.
You mean it?
What do you mean by “a thing”?
Like a couple. A thing, like together?
Evan, what do you mean by that?
I mean…like you know….If we were a couple?
I look over at my parents, they give me an encouraging nod. Evan... will you be my boyfriend?
Evan is visibly relieved and surprised, he wasn’t expecting this but is definitely happy about it.
Yeah…yeah I will.
I smirk at him. so what are you saying?
He gives a sly smile and sets his guitar aside, crossing his arms.
I’m saying….What if we’re an item? Like…a couple.
He smirks.
I look at my parents who have an approving smile on their faces. Oh! umm... yeah! We can be a thing!
I know we already spend so much time together but…like as an official couple.
He’s trying hard not to get too excited, it’s unusual for him to be this nervous around someone though his cool demeanor is always present. He reaches out and gently grabs your hand.
I look to my parents who are smiling eagerly waiting for my response before turning back to Evan and nodding. Sure! I'd like that.
Evan is shocked by how easy that was and tries to act cool. He smiles a little but is clearly excited
Oh…really? I thought for sure you’d say no
I look over at my mom and dad who seem oblivious to what's going on. You mean like together?
He chuckles nervously Yeah…like, officially a couple. You know?
"I would like that." My dad says
I mean…for real? You’d be cool with that?
I glance over at you to see your reaction.
I chuckle lightly a thing huh?
he laughs and rolls his eyes yes a thing, like an item….boyfriend…girlfriend.
Do you mean like go on dates or something?
I blush Yeah…like go on dates and stuff.
Like together? As in a couple? Smiles slightly
Looks at you Yeah, I think we’re both interested. And I think we have a good connection.
I smile softly. We could definitely try.
smiles back so, like…officially dating then?
