Lenny's POV
I started to drink my lemonade as Van came in. He looked my way and I waved. Act cool I told myself. This isn't a date. Your just taking him out as a thank you for helping out at your store.
"So why did you call me here?" Van asked as soon as he sat down then he smiled. "Did you change your mind about the cruise?" he asked.
"Nope." I said drinking my lemonade again and he frowned. "Sorry Van but this is about me thanking you for... everything." I said sighing and looked down.
I don't appreciate him as much as I should.
I looked up and he was blinking at me. "For everything? I didn't do anything." he said and I couldn't help but smile.
I forget Van just does things thinking anyone would do that for a person. That's one of the things I love about him.
"You did a lot." I said smiling more. "So tonight I pay for dinner." I said.
"You don't have to." Van said.
"I am, cause I can." I said smiling and he sighed smiling as well.
"Fine Len." he said and I smiled brightly. "I'm going to order all the expensive things." he said smirking.
"I'll order for you." I said and he laughed.
His laugh ugh and his smile.... his eyes.... I hate you.... I hate that I love you. Hate and Love can be one.
When we ordered food he talked about how I hated when things were bought for me. We talked about our years in high school. We talked how we use to and we laughed... it was amazing. Everything was just, amazing. Just like how it use to be.

"Leeeeen, Len Len let down your hair!" Van yelled and I pulled the curtains blushing.
"What am I, Rapunzel?" I asked looking down at him from the window and he smiled.
"Come with me princess." he said putting his hand up and I turned red as he laughed. "I'm joking Len, come on down. I wanna take you somewhere." he said.
"It's late." I said frowning.
"I'll ask your mooooom." he said smiling.
"Don't!" I yelled and he blinked. "I-I mean... okay I'll come." I said and he smiled.
Van... I love you. Do you feel the way I do?..... Of course not... love hurts as they say. I really am Rapunzel, stuck in a tower waiting for my love to come get me. But my love doesn't love me the same way I do for him. So I sit in the tower watching him, waiting for him to come in the tower....
He smiled as I stood in front of him and he grabbed my arm dragging me to his car.
"Ugh where are we going?" I grumbled and he turned to look at me smiling making me flush.
"Somewhere." he said.
But he never came
