I changed my clothes very fast the dropped the older ones onto my bed.
I heard my mom shouting something from downstairs but it was quite hard to hear.
“What?” I shouted back loudly.
“Someone is at the door!” she shouted back much louder than the first time.
I put on my earrings and grabbed my small black side bag with my phone inside.
I left the door of my room and headed to the stairs.
“Oh shit, my necklace!” I said quietly as I felt my neck and ran back to my room grabbing and placing my necklace on.
As I ran down the stairs I could hear the knocking.
“I got the door, mom,” I said as I laughed.
I opened the door, and there standing was Nic in a black suit and tie.
“Wow,” we both said at the same time feeling astonished.
“Um, here…” Nic said as he brought out a rose from his back.
“Thanks,” I said as I grabbed it and smiled.
“Shall we?” Nic replied and held out his arm for me.
“Finally,” I said and we both laughed.
I grabbed his hand and stepped out of the doorway grinning like a ninny.
“Bye Mom, love you!” I shouted and shut the front door.
Chapter 30
We walked into the door of the restaurant and it was named ‘Belle.’ The setting was dark and set with candles in various areas. The air smelled of delicious food and lavender. It was absolutely stunning. Haha, but imagine how much this would cost.
I frowned at the thought, but quickly brushed it off to avoid ruining this date.
Nic and I walked to the front counter and were quickly escorted to our table.
“Here is your menu sir, ma’am, have a goodnight,” the butler said and began to walk off.
Nic and I sat down and began to look at the menu.
“Uh, what are you going to get?” I said shyly to Nic.
“Not really sure, maybe the parmesan cheese spaghetti with meatballs and some coca-cola,” he paused and looked back down at his menu, “or we could both get burgers and fries like regular teenagers.”
We both began laughing, but it quickly died off when the waiter came to the side of the table.
“Are you ready to order?” The waiter said releasing a strong but soft British accent.
“Um, yes. We will have burgers and fried, two plates, with a coke,” I interrupted.
“And a fruitopia!” I said to the waiter.
“Will that be it?” The waiter said.
“Yes, thank you,” Nic said and the waiter began to walk away.
Nic and I both giggle a little under our breaths.
“So, when do you think the food will be ready,” I muttered.
“It usually takes just a few-,” The waiter came to the table holding our food.
“Here you go, if you need anything else, just press the bell under that cover,” he pointed at a cover in the center of our table, put the food in front of each of us, then walked off like usual into the darkroom.
“Ready to try it?” Nic said to me as he picked up his burger with some fries.
“Absolutely,” I picked up my burger and a few fried as well and we both took large bites.
“Holy god, this is the shit,” I said as I stuffed more food into my face.
Nic laughed, nodded his head, and did the exact same thing.
After sitting in silence for 10 minutes, enjoying our burgers and perfectly seasoned fries, Nic and I dusted off our hands and began looking back at each other.
To remove the tension between us, I picked up my drink and began sipping slowly.
“Coy, you know the dance on Friday, right?” I continued sipping my drink, “Do you still want to go?” I nodded my head but refused to remove my lips from my drink, “Coy, it’s not just any regular dance, it’s prom.” I choked on my drink. I literally thought it was just another lovers dance.
I put my cup down and began looking at Nic.
“What do you mean? Prom? It’s prom?” I said in a low tone.
“Yeah, that’s why I asked you, Coy. I wanted it to mean something to me.” My cheeks flushed red.
“So, I have to buy, like, a dress? An expensive dress? And heels?” I said sounding like a child.
“Not necessarily. What you have on right now is absolutely stunning.” Nic looked down at his drink and picked it up.
God, he had a way with words. It just turned my insides upside down.
He quickly finished his drink and I followed by his lead.
“Hey, Coy?” Nic said looking awfully nervous than before.
“Yeah?” I replied back.
“Would you like to be my girlfriend?”
My jaw immediately fell open. I quickly turned my head to the side and my screeching face before turning back.
“I’m. I. I’d honestly love to, but…”
“No, Coy, please.”
I inhaled deeply and let it back out.
“Okay, Nic, I will. I’d love to.” I said and smiled widely.
Chapter 31
I’ve only been to school once this week, and if I keep this up, my attendance will be terribly alarming.
I heard a knock on my door and began walking down to the door.
“Who is it?” I shouted at the closed door.
No reply.
I opened the door and found a package on the doorstep.
What the fuck?
I picked it up and went into the house. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a knife on the table and quickly cut open the package.
Inside was a golden gift box with a bow. I pulled off the bow and quickly uncovered the box to see a beautiful golden dress.
It was
