Asking

The closer I got to her, the more nervous I got.
It was just like the other day. I could feel my heart pound faster and faster. Why is it so hard to ask someone to go out with me?
For all I know, I could get rejected and get hurt. I was almost there and she notices me and waves to come over.
“Hey Ryan” she says in a kind, soft voice. I started to feel a warm feeling when she said that and started to blush. I tried to shake off the feeling, but it wouldn’t go away.
“Hey Ashley” I replied.
“So about this girl… do you need any help with it?” she says and once again, it made me feel so warm inside.
“Um… I really wanted to ask you something.”
“Sure, what is it?”
I started to have the butterflies in my stomach. I wanted to just back off right now but I knew this would probably be my only chance with her, alone. Other than the fact that other people are watching.
I said in a nervous voice and kinda blushed at the same time, “W-Would you…”
Emily gave me a gesture to speak up.
“Would you go out with me!” I said.
