Flashback...

"Why Darcy?!" Chelsea yelled, stomping her foot on the cement ground. Although the ground was hard and still, I still managed to feel the ground shake to her furious mishap. "I thought you were my besfriend Darc? I thought that we were close enough to tell eachother everything." She questioned. "And here you are trying to leave this earth without any warning." Tears rapidly streaming down her face. Strands of blonde hair sticking to her cheeks along with her dried tears. "Never had I in a million years thought you'd never do this...ever, If I hadn't bust through the door you would've probably gone even farther..."She sobbed.

End of Flashback.. I sat silently in front of my vanity as I just looked at myself in the mirror, too many thoughts that would just burst in my mind if I let my brain wander off for a minute , the thought of getting ready for a date by myself made me think to myself about Chelsea. The sudden ring of my phone shook me out of my thoughts. An unfamiliar number flashed across the screen of my phone, making it vibrate and almost falling off the vanity table. I quickly snatched it before it could fall of and quickly answered.

"Hello?" I asked curiously.

"Darcy! Glad you answered." I felt a sigh of relief of to who answered, Ryan.

"Ryan, hey! Are you here already, I'm sorry to be honest I haven't even dressed up ye-"

"Darc, it's fine... I was just giving you a warning call, I'm about to head out of my flat, I'll be heading there in 30 minutes so suit yourself babe." He chuckled. Babe? He just called me babe. "By the way, mind texting me your address?" He asked.

"Sure." I smiled. "See you in 30, yeah?"

"See you in 30, bye." He said, by the tone of his voice I could tell a smile curved up on his face.

"Bye." I said, hanging up the phone, holding it to my rapid beating chest. I quickly added him to my contacts and texted him my address.

----------------------------------------------------------

It has been the millionth time since I've checked myself and stood right in front the mirror. Brushing my hair for what seemed like an infinity to beyond, probably clumps of hair has stuck on to the brush, Gross. I stepped a little closer, now looking at my face. Barely any to no makeup has caked my face tonight, except for a little bit of a light raspberry tint.

My phone suddenly rang and of course it was who I expected.

"Ryan!" I chirped.

"Hey, Darc I'm outside of your house right now, you ready?" He asked.

"Yeah, I'll be down in a minute." I said, with a hint of excitement in my voice. I hung up and quickly slipped on my patent flats. I walked over to my vanity and sprayed a bit of Victoria's Secret Body Spray. I flung my door closed and sprinted down the stairs, carefully stepping on each step before I fall. Harry was no where in sight as of right now as I shouted for him. "Harry, Ryan's outside I'm lea-" I suddenly bumped into a hard-rock-tall figure just at the last step of the stairs. I looked up to see Harry's face masked over with a serious look. He pulled up his sleeve a little and took a little glance over his leather watch. "7:25." He stated.

"Yeah, and?" I asked.

"A bit too early don't you think?" He asked.

"No?" I said before trying to get past him, he blocked me once again.

"Harry, Ryan's waiting outside as of this moment, I'm going to be late." I whined.

"No one's going to be late Darcy, matter of fact why don't you invite Ryan inside and we can have a little chat?" He smirked.

"Seriously?" I questioned. He nodded sternly, crossing his arms.

I turned on the phone in my hand and began to dial Ryan's number. I still stood by the step, being watched awkwardly by Harry as I wait for Ryan to pick up.

"Darcy?" He answered.

"Hey Ry, Umm-My Da- Why don't you come inside for a bit." I stuttered. "If you don't mind."

"Umm, okay." He said hesitantly before hanging up.

After about 2 minutes the doorbell rang, and just as I was about to get it Harry held me back and answered it for me. The door opened, revealing the tall brown-haired brown-eyed figure. He tensed up a bit when he saw Harry, looking more nervous than ever before. "Hello, Sir." Ryan smiled, and held out his hand for Harry to shake. "I'm Ryan Tate." Harry shook his hand mischeviously. "I'm Harry, Darcy's father." Harry stated. Ryan raised his eyebrows, and his eyes widened in surprise. "The Harry Styles?" He asked curiously. "One and only." Harry stated. God he has such a big ego.

"So, I'm here to pick up Darcy..." He said, dragging his eyes away from Harry and slowly gazed them over me, smiling. I felt my heart flutter, and my cheeks feeling flushed. I quickly looked down before he could see me turn tomato red.

"Right, right. Well why don't you come in for a second Ryan." Harry said and motioned his hand for Ryan to step foot into the house.

"Umm, okay." Ryan hesitantly slowly walking in, unsure of his surroundings. I was starting to get frustrated with the fact of Harry trying to 'somewhat' ruin our date. I quickly grabbed Ryan's hand, dragging him and dashing fast to the door, making Harry shoot me a confused look.

"We'll be back before 12!" I shouted as I shut the door, leaving Harry behind. I quickly let go of Ryan's hand and realized how sweaty mine was.

"Sorry about that." I muttered, wiping off my gross sweat on my dress.

He chuckled lightly. "No worries Darc, I like your Dad." He said nervously, and scratched the back of his neck.

"You don't have to lie." I joked, biting my lip. He laughed and guided me over to his car. Before I could even lay a hand on the door-handle, his hand swapped in first and opened it for me. "Thanks." I said nervously.

-----------------------------------------------------------

We stopped in front of a local little coffee shop, just right around the corner of the streets. To be honest, I was literally relieved that he didn't take me to a fancy place... This was literally perfect.

"Perfect." I whispered to myself.

"I'm sorry it's not that much Darc." He apologized.

"Ryan, No... This is perfect." I smiled placing my hand over his, making my heart race once again. Making the tension alive.

"Surprised hearing that from Harry Styles' daughter." He joked. I chuckled lightly.

"Trust me, I'm the opposite of him." I laughed.

He helped me out of the car as we started to approach this little shop. He opened the door for me as I stepped right into the place. A nice home-feeling was in the air. The smell of warm sweet cinnamon, and the old vintage furniture was a cute touch to the place. Ryan slowly interlaced his fingers with mine as he walked us over to a table for two right next to the window. I smiled looking out the window, the night sky and city lights was a perfect view from here. He pulled my chair out and helped me in, still not taking my eyes away from the breath taking view. He walked over to his chair and sat.

"Like the view?" He asked.

"Yeah, it's beautiful." I smiled, turning my attention to Ryan.

"I was talking about me." He said cheekily. I laughed, shaking my head. Such a cocky boy.

"Sadly, you ruin the view." I joked. He placed his hand over his heart, pretending to be hurt.

"But you don't, you make the view even better." He winked. I bit my lip, trying hard not to let out a nervous laugh. He knew how to make me feel nervous, alright.

"You're so cheeky, did you know that-

"Welcome!" A high pitched voice chirped. I looked up to see the brown-haired waitress dressed casually in a plaid apron, holding two menus. "Here are your menu's and I will be right back to get your orders." She smiled and placed the menu's gently on the table.

"Thanks." Ryan and I said in unison. We both grabbed the menu's and began scanning it with our eyes. I sneakily looked up from my menu and looked over at Ryan, the way his brown eyes flickered from the menu up to me. I quickly looked away before he could say anything.

"So what are you getting?" He asked, placing the menu down.

"Uh, I don't know, what are you getting?" I asked nervously.

"Probably a nice philly sandwhich and some chips." He stated.

"Hmm..." I muttered and placed my forearms on the table, my eyes wandering and observing the place. Suddenly someone stood in front of me, blocking my way.

"Okay, so can I take your orders?" The waitress asked, holding out a little notepad and a pen in her hand, eagerly waiting to tak eour orders. I looked over to Ryan, who was obviously ready.

"I'll get the philly cheesesteak with a side of chips." He said, then both eyes darted over me.

"Um-I'll get the same." I smiled. She drabbled onto her notepad and took the Menu's from our table. "Alright, and can I get you both anything to drink?" She asked.

"I'll have water, please." He said.

"I'll have some tea." I smiled.

"Okay, I'll be out in a minute along with your orders." She smiled, and shuffled her way back to the counter.

"You know you could've gotten something else." He chuckled.

"I know." I chuckled, playing with the hem of my sleeve. "Just don't really know what to get here... You come here often?" I asked.

"Once in a blue moon." He smiled.

--------------------------------------------------

The food finally came and once I took a bite out of my sandwich, I gotta say... I was in heaven.

"So Darcy, shall we play the question game?" He asked.

"Question game really?" I chuckled. He shrugged, and basically insisted.

"Alright, I guess you can go first." I laughed.

"How old are you?" He asked.

"Just turned 17, 3 months ago. You?" I simply stated.

"18." He stated confidently. I felt a bit surprised on the inside for I was basically on a date with an adult.

With that, the list went on and on. We were no longer playing the question game for we were just having a full on conversation about ourselves, it was nice.

-------------------------------------------------

I sat back a little, feeling content with the delicious food that just filled me up. The waitress came back and handed us our bill. I pulled out my cash from my pocket, but Ryan quickly slapped his card down. "Ryan, you don't have to pay for m-"

"I insist, M'lady." He smiled. I chuckled. The waitress shuffled back and forth to us as she billed Ryan's card.

"Shall we head out now?" He asked, waiting for me to get up. I nodded. We both headed towards the door as the waitress said goodbye.

"Shoot, what time is it?" I asked worried, checking the time on my phone to see it was already 9:30.

"Already 10?" He asked curiously, opening the car door for me.

"In 30 minutes it will be." I stated.

"So, does your Dad want you back by 10 P.M. sharp or?" He asked. I didn't think twice about my answer.

"No, why?" I asked.

"Would you like to go out for some desert?" He asked.

"Why not." I chuckled.

----------------------------------------------------------

The whole drive Ryan was being mysterious, he made me cover my eyes half way as I felt the car jolt to a stop. "Ryan, when can I open my eyes?" I asked, eager to remove my sweaty palms from my face.

"We're here." He said, I sensed a smile on his face. I slowly removed them as the bright lights of the carousel caught my attention, making my jaw drop.

"Carnival?" I asked, a bit shocked. My voice shaking at the end. I quickly looked over to Ryan who's face looked as if his plan failed.

"Seems, childish doesn't it?" He asked with a hint of disappointment in his voice.

"No Ry-" Before I could say anything, I quickly dashed out from the car, a bit too excited. Okay not a bit, but maybe alot! He followed me out of the car, as I just stood there in awe admiring the bright lights of the nearest carousel and the ferris wheel. I looked over back at him to see his brown eyes sparkling with the lights, making me flutter on the inside. I quickly ran on over to him and hugged him tightly. I took in the scent of his fresh cologne that whiffed the air. "Thank you so much." I smiled. I felt his arms slowly but reassuringly hugged me in a tight embrace.

"I've never been to a carnival before." I said. I didn't realize how happy I was, nor enjoying the moment as I felt myself lace my hands with Ryan's as we walked over to the entrance. It felt perfect. "Really?" He asked surprise.

"Yup, I've always wanted to go to one since I was a young one." I chuckled. We finally made it to the entrance, as Ryan and I had a little fuss about paying for my ticket in which he finally insisted again.

I hadn't realized that I was basically jumping as we step foot into the carnival, little kids running around with their parents. Excited much Darc? You're acting like a little child. Who am I kidding I could fit in, I thought to myself. Oh who gives a shit.

"Where to f-" I quickly ran to the Candy Floss booth before Ryan could even finish his sentence.

"Two Candy Floss' please!" I chirped, my voice a little higher pitched than usual, as I reached for my money, someone placed their cash in front of me. I turned back to see Ryan, shooting me a killer smile. I couldn't complain anymore, he'd basically pay for me this whole date I guess.

The lady gladly handed us two puffy cones of Pink Candy Floss' as I eagerly grabbed it from her. "Thank you!" I smiled and kindly handed the Floss to Ryan. "And thank you."

------------------------------------------------------

"Last one, Ry! You can do this!" I cheered as my attention was on the last ring in his hand. Two glass bottles were already hooped, as finally he shot the last one and made it. "YES!" I cheered loudly. The working behind the bottles handed Ryan a medium-sized teddy bear. I smiled looking at the stuffed-plushed as it was handed over to me. "For you." Ryan smiled. I grabbed it and hugged Ryan. "Thank you!"

I had no idea nor any clue what time it was, it honestly didn't matter to me. I honestly had the best time at the carnival, riding the carousels, eating so much candy floss, playing games... but there was one last stop we had to make.

I grabbed his hand as I dragged him over to the ferris wheel. "I say last ride of the night." I said confidently. His eyes widened at the scene, quickly looking down to his feet.

"Are you alright?" I asked curiously.

"I'm fine." he said hesistantly.

"Is someone scared of heights?" I jokingly teased.

"No." He said, a bit defensive.

"It's alright Ry, you won't fall." I chuckled. "You can hold my hand." He laced his fingers with mine before I could.

We waited in line, and as it was our turn, I jumped excitingly as we were escorted into our seats and buckled up. "Not so sure 'bout this." Ryan said nervously.

"You'll do fine." I chuckled. "I promise." The Ferris Wheel then began to start as we were slowly becoming elevated. "Think you had too much Floss to actually go on here." He joked. I chuckled as I looked down to see our hands were still locked together, feeling his sweaty palms from the nervousness of the ride. Except mines were sweaty because of that fact that I was holding his hand.

We stopped at one point, and I looked over my shoulder to see Ryan eased up a bit than earlier. "You alright now?" I asked. He nodded, but his attention froze at the view in front of us. The city lights were beautiful. Along with the fresh-crisp air that wasn't too cold or too hot made this moment perfect.

"It's beautiful isn't it." I stated. "It's perfect up here." There was a brief moment of silence as Ryan finally turned his attention to me.

"You're perfect." He said softly. I couldn't help but feel sparked and my heart racing faster than ever and his face was now only a few centimeters away from mine. I froze as my eyes glued to his brown orbs, but his eyes flickered down to my lips as he slowly leaned in. I slowly closed my eyes and carefully leaned in. I felt his warm supple lips almost brush against mine, almost tasting the sweet candy floss that still lingered in his breath. But just as our lips almost touched, the ferris wheel began to move again, making us shift in our seats. Damn it. I thought. I felt a wave of disappointment cross over me.

-------------------------------------------------------

The Candy Floss hyperness wore off a bit now as we headed towards Ryan's car. Our hands still locking with eachother's. Although it was only our first date, and I barely knew Ryan. It felt as if we've been together for a long time.

"Thank you so much for tonight Ry, I had so much fun." I giggled.

"My pleasure Darc, honestly I think you're my first date that ever enjoyed this place... I like that." He smiled.

-----------------------------------------------------

We finally stopped at my place, as there was just a brief moment of silence in the car. Sweet silence I must say, no words or anything was said. Except for the lustful tension lingering in the air and the loud beating hearts for one another. I looked at the time on my phone to see the time was already 12:00. I started to feel worried for I just now arrived at midnight.

"Shoot, I gotta go-" I said interrupting the silence, but as I got out Ryan followed along with me. "Darc, wait." He said, and grabbed my wrist. I turned around and was caught in his lustful gaze, and I froze. I couldn't help but think I was falling hard for him already.

"I really don't know how much I can thank you for tonight Ryan." I paused. "Probably the best night of my life."

"Maybe you can thank me with this?" He said cheekily, and slowly leaned in. I felt a bit hesitant now, and maybe it was just the floss that made me want to kiss Ryan. I carefully pushed him back, feeling a bit guilty for what I was doing.

"I don't kiss on first dates." I said biting my lip, trying to a bit at playing hard to get. But before he could say anything he cupped my cheek softly and he slowly leaned in again, but this time I couldn't resist. As only our lips brushed on the ferris wheel, now our lips finally touched. I felt a spark and my heart racing. Feeling his warm sweet supple lips felt so unreal. Felt as if it was really out of this world. I wanted more- I felt a wave of disappointment as he pulled away, but my heart was still beating to the contentment of a quick but passionate kiss.

"Change your mind now?" He asked cheekily. I bit my lip, still feeling the sensation on my lips. I nodded but as I leaned in for another, I heard the door suddenly burst open. Ryan and I quickly pulled away from eachother as I heard Harry clear his throat. We walked closer to the door and finally on the steps.

"Thank you Mr. Styles for letting me take out Darcy." Ryan said nervously, digging his hands into his pockets.

"Pleasure." Harry stated. Ryan turned to me one last time and shot me his killer smile.

"Until next time?" He asked. "Goodnight Mr.Styles." I nodded biting my lip, feeling overlusted.

"Careful now!" Harry rang.

"Bye." I said sweetly and watched him jog on over to his car. My attention was brought away when Harry cleared his throat as we both still stood here in the doorway. He pushed up his sleeve and didn't say one word.

"It's 12:08." He said in a posh voice. "Its not 10 P.M. is it?"

"I didn't promise that I'd be back at 10." I said calmly. He motioned his hand for me to come closer. "Open your mouth." He said. I quickly blew at his face before he could do anything else. "Candy Floss?" He asked surprised.

I nodded.
