"oh,thank you,"Astrea said blushing so much that she was sure her ears were red ,as she wasn't used to receiving such complement.
"You are welcome ", Ezra said with a smile which revealed his perfectly white teeth and that made her heart to a backflip.
"Anyways...I'm going to get down",Astrea said,her eyes darting left and right trying her best to not look in his eyes while blushing excessively.
"Sure,I'll help you open the door ",Ezra said as he came down from the car to open the door for Astrea. As he got to the other side of the car he opened the door for her and held his hand out for her which she happily accepted ,as he raised her up she suddenly tripped over God knows what and almost fell if not for him catching her .
"Oh thanks, great catch ",Astrea said to Ezra.
"Anyways I'm going to get inside now",Astrea said.
"Sure",Ezra said and as they parted ways they both turned around as if hypnotized and stared at each other in silence both looking like they wanted to say something.
Astrea decided to speak first "I had a great time with you,thank you",Astrea said louder than normal because of the distance between them.
"I did too and I should be the one thanking you for giving me the opportunity to hang out with a goddess such as yourself ", Ezra said looking completely serious making Astrea blush.
"Im going to get inside now bye",Astrea said.
"Bye ",Ezra said with his perfect smile that showcased his pearly white teeth and slightly sharper than most people's canines.Astrea didn't know why but that smile made her heart do something funny.
Astrea entered her house and noticed everything was off except the TV which her parents were watching.
"Hey Hun",Her mum said.
"Hey baby",her daddy said.
"Good evening mum and dad" Astrea said.
"So how did it go with the boy with the black Ferrari"her mum asked with a smile which Astrea couldn't see because she was facing the television.
"it went great, wait...how did you know he has a black Ferrari.", Astrea asked suspiciously .
"oh we heard the car when he dropped you off and looked through the window",Her dad said.
"Um okay",she drawled rather confused.
" I'm going to go change and sleep, good night",She said and made her way upstairs.
As she got into her room she threw her sneakers into her shoe rack and went to take of her dress afterwards she entered the shower and took a warm shower . She them proceeded to get into her robe which was of course pink, and then she wrapped her hair in a towel so that it would dry as she got out of the bath she saw her siblings sitting on her bed.
"What are y'all doing here?",She asked looking at them wondering why they hadn't slept yet.
"why aren't you asleep?",She asked again before they replied.
"We were asleep but the. we heard an engine and looked out the window that's when we say you come out of a fancy black car with a boy.",Sean said while Iris nodded along in agreement.
"Is he your boyfriend?",both Sean and Iris asked in Unison making Astrea almost choke on air.
*cough**cough**cough*
"No he's not , now if you could be so kind leave",Astrea said as she pushed them out of her room.
"Are you sure",They asked.
"Yeah I am ",and with that she locked her door with them on the other side.
As she changed into her pyjamas and fell asleep on her bed her phone suddenly started Ringing .
She woke up from sleep and groggily checked her phone to see it was Ciara calling her on a video call.
"Ciara ,why are you calling me this late it's one in the morning",Astrea said half asleep.
"Hey girl", Ciara said sounding fully awake at this ungodly hour.
"What is it? and why are you still awake?", Astrea said her voice coming out in slurs to show how tired she was.
"I called to find out about your date ,Where did he take you? come on spill the details",Ciara said sounding more excited than the person who actually went on the date.
"It went alright"Astrea said as she turned on the light, "He arranged a romantic picnic that was under a tree surrounded by dropping lights with golden lamps all around and the food was ethereal..", As Astrea was rambling on Ciara could only stair in shock wondering if her eyes were decieving her. This couldn't be her friend who always had a straight face and only smiled on rare occasions, infact the only reason her friend wore bright colors was to avoid being labelled as depressed .
"Girl I'm happy for you?",Ciara said genuinely happy for her friend.
When she said that she noticed something weird "Are you blushing?!",Ciara asked as she had never seen her friend blush in their six years of being friends and they were in twelfth grade .
"what! no I'm not",Astrea said rapidly shaking her head.
"Yeah ,you are",Ciara said with an extremely wide smile.
"No I'm not , good night",Astrea said ready to hang up.
"Okay bye ",Ciara said quickly before Astrea could cut the call, after that Astrea cut the call and went back to bed. While I. the other end Ciara was happily giggling away.

Ezra sat on his King sized bed covered in luxurious silk sheets while in equally luxurious nightwear.
He sat in place thinking about a pair of magnificent green eyes as well as the owner .
Astrea Williams,he had no idea why he couldn't get her out of his head.Her voice,her smile,her eyes and her personality. They all continued to play in his head. He wasn't one to find people intriguing, but she was ... special... yes special that was the best way to describe her in his dictionary.
With a sigh he laid down 'Astrea Williams ' he said in his head and with that he went to sleep
