BRING ME TO LIFE // Prince William

Chapter Sixteen - Date Night

She also wasn't sure why it seemed as though no one had paid for the tracking that they needed.  They always had and it was exactly for things like this -- so that things like this didn't happen.

To say work had been disastrous was an understatement.  It had taken almost all day until they were finally able to track where the package was, somehow.  Evelyn also made sure to pay for the extra tracking not wanting to make the same mistake twice.  

Now was time for her date with William and she was looking forward to seeing him again.  She had that nervous but excited feeling in her stomach at the thought of being with him.  Changing out of her work clothes and into something much more comfortable and relaxed, black pants and a white jumper.  Her blonde hair was now down and in soft waves.  She sprayed on her favourite perfume and left.

The drive to William's she thought about the first time they met as children and then how they met again through Eric.  How they continued to stay close even in the midst of not always being in the same area.  She loved how comfortable she felt around him, so safe.  At the same time though, it scared her.  To know that she could feel completely and utterly herself around someone.  Knowing that he could probably break her heart.  

William had told her that when she was let in through the gates that she was able to open the door and walk in to his room.  

She hadn't even really felt this way about her ex -- Liam, not really.  Sure she had loved him but she didn't feel safe with him like she could be utterly and completely herself.  At least without being judged for it.

Opening the large doors, she walked down the familiar hallway and saw the familiar maid, Poppy.  She didn't want to interrupt her as she seemed to be in a deep cleaning mode and was in the opposite direction.  Instead, Evelyn walked onward until she stopped in front of his door and knocked before he opened the door for her.  

"How was work?" he asked her after they hugged and kissed.

"Long and disastrous," she let out a tired sigh.  "We ran into a big problem at work and it took hours to resolve.  How was your day?"

"What happened at work?  My day was alright.  I had to attend an engagement for my Granny, but that's it," he shrugged his shoulders.

"It was so frustrating," she rolled her eyes at the thought of what happened earlier today.  "Half of our parcel to David for Anthropologie got lost and we couldn't track it.  For some reason Eloise forgot to pay for extra tracking.  We were able to finally find it though and get it shipped.  If we didn't, that would have been an awful nightmare.  

"Well, how about we forget about our long days while eating, watch movies and enjoy each others company?" He asked as he caressed her shoulder as he brought her into his side.

"I like that," she agreed and stood up a bit on her toes to kiss his cheek.

William had ordered the Indian food in advance and it had arrived ten minutes before Evelyn showed up.  He had everything in his kitchen and they were still in their take out boxes as he didn't really feel like putting them on a plate as they could just scoop out the food and put them on their own plates.  

"I think you'll love Indian food, if not you can blame me and never eat it again," he jokes making her laugh and shake her head.

"Deal," she agrees looks at the Indian food he bought for the two of them.  "What d'you recommend?"

"Well, since you love curry, I did buy some from this restaurant.  

William had bought garlic nan bread which was Indian bread with nan topped with garlic and cilantro, swagat dinner for three which contained vegetable pakora/samosas, chicken tendoori, chicken tikka massala, lamb kadai, chicken curry, rice, nan and kheer.  Everything looked so good to Evelyn.
