"What are you thinking about?" Adriana smiled, noticing the huge grin on my face."I was just thinking about asking you to race me down the beach.""You're on." Adriana replied, the smile not leaving her face. "When I win, what do I get?""A date with me tonight to ring in your birthday early.""I like the sound of that." Blushing a little, Adriana continued, "If you win, what do you get in return?""A date with you tonight to ring in your birthday early.""So, I take it that, either way this plays out, we are going on a date tonight?""I guess we are ." I smiled, my heart happily and excitedly thudding inside of my chest.
