EVELYN'S POV
It's the next day and right now I am in my room, getting ready for my date.
'I am so excited!!!!!'
It's been an hour that I have been searching for an appropriate dress to wear, but unfortunately I've had no luck till now.
'Why do girls have to suffer so much!!??
Despite having many clothes, I still don't have enough clothes!!!!'
Anyway, after a long struggle, I finally found a cute dress which I thought was good enough to wear.
Quickly taking a shower, I slipped into the dress and did a cute makeup look.
Then I put on my pendant and earrings and finally my heels.
Checking the time, I saw that I still had about 15 minutes before Sebastian came. So, I decided to go downstairs where everyone else already was.
As soon as I reached the living room, the twins paused the TV, gaining everyone else's attention.
"You look so beautiful baby." mom came to me gushing and kissed my forehead.
"Bellissima" Dad complimented and kissed my forehead too. (Beautiful)
"You look amazing bambina." Ales came to me hugged me tightly, kissing the top of my head.
"My princess, you look exactly like a princess." Grandpa said with a fond look on his face.
Everyone else too complimented me, except Domenico.
"Am I not looking good Dom??" I asked him making a sad face.
His eyes immediately widened in panic and he shook his head frantically.
"No no. You look more than beautiful shorty. You look amazing." He said taking my face in his hands.
"Then why didn't you say anything??" I asked him pouting.
"Because I don't want to let you go alone with a boy. That too, on a date." He frowned. "You are growing up too fast. We just got you, and now we have another person fighting for your attention this soon. Soon, you will get busy with him and forget about us." he said with a sad look on his face.
My eyes softened at his confession and tears pooled in them.
"I can never forget any of you Dom. You all are my family. I may be going on a date, but you all will always come first. I promise." I said sincerely.
"Fine fine. Whatever you say, shorty." Dom said teasing me at the end.
"I am not short!!!" I whined punching him lightly.
"Yes you are." Xander said teasingly.
I huffed and looked at Ales for support. He started looking here and there, but did not say anything, making my annoying brothers laugh.
"Dad!!! Grandpa!!!" I whined complaining.
"OK, enough. No one will say a word to my princess now." Grandpa said with finality in his voice.
All my brothers immediately sealed their mouths, making me look at them smugly.
'I am so powerful!!!!!! Wuhuuuuu!!!'
All of them glared at me for getting them in trouble.
Our banter was cut with the doorbell ringing. All of them immediately ran towards the door.
'Oh god!!! Now they are going to try to scare him with their glares!!!' I mentally facepalmed.
Quickly going to the door, I saw all my brothers, and even my uncles and dad and grandpa glaring at poor Sebastian, while he stood there gulping.
When he finally noticed me, he made his way towards me and forwarded his hand which had a bouquet with many beautiful roses and lilies in it.
"You look stunning Evelyn." He complimented sincerely handing me the bouquet.
I grinned at him and took the bouquet muttering a small thank you to him.
"Eve honey, why don't you put these flowers in the vase in the kitchen??" Dad suggested while the rest nodded their heads.
I looked at them skeptically, but nodded anyway and left.
Putting them in the vase, I went back out and saw that all the males of my family were saying something to Sebastian.
'More like threatening him!!' my inner voice spoke up.
"OK, that's it. Stop scaring the poor boy." Grandma interfered.
"Yeah, I think it's time you both go now or you'll be late." mom said to me and Seb, making him nod frantically.
All the males sulked, but did not say anything further.
"You know the rules Sebastian. I want her back home by 8:00. No later than that." Dad told him.
"And if there is even one tear in her eye, I won't hesitate to kill you, friend or not." Dom threatened.
"I promise we'll be back by 8:00 and I promise I won't hurt her." Seb said and forwarded his hand for me to take.
"Shall we go??" he asked me.
I put my hand in his, and bidding everyone bye, I went outside with him by my side.
As we reached his car, he opened the door for me and closed it softly after I settled inside. Jogging over to the driver's side, he sat down and started the car.
Slow songs were playing in the car while I looked out of the window.
Turning my gaze to him, I noticed he was wearing an all black outfit.
'Not gonna lie, he is looking quite good in it!!'
"Take a picture, it will last longer." his voice broke me out of my staring.
Looking at his face, I saw that he was smirking at me.
"I..I-I wasn't...looking." I said flustered making him laugh.
"Where are you taking me anyway??" I changed the topic.
"That's a surprise." he winked at me and looked back at the road.
I huffed in annoyance and looked back out of the window, making him chuckle.
Soon, we reached and he got out to open my door. Offering me his hand, he helped me out of the car.
Looking ahead, I saw that we were at an aquarium.
'OMG!!!! I can't believe we are at an aquarium!!!! I've wanted to come here for so long!!'
"Am I dreaming??" I asked him.
"No you are not. Chloe told me you like nature and the related stuff a lot, so I brought you here." he chuckled.
"Do you like it??" he asked nervously.
"I love it." I grinned at him, making him grin too.
"Let's go then." with that, we went inside.
As soon as we entered, I was starstruck.
It was so amazing!!!!
Looking around, I saw that there was no one else there, making me look at Seb questioningly.
"I booked this entire place for a few hours. So, there is no one here except us." he answered my unasked question.
"Shall we start the tour??" a man came and Seb nodded at him.
The whole time, I kept looking at all the fishes and marine animals in aww. We even took a lot of pictures. Although Seb took a lot of my photos, I also took some of him and also asked the guide to take some of ours.
The whole time me and Seb got a lot closer and I got to know a lot more things about him. By the looks of it, he had a lot of knowledge about marine life and looked very interested in it too. He kept listening to the guide attentively and even put in his facts and opinions in the middle.
All in all, it was a lot of fun!!
By the time the tour was over, I was grinning like a hanger was stuck in my mouth. I was beyond happy I came here and saw all this. I was even very satisfied with all the pictures I had.
Exiting the aquarium, we again sat in the car and reached a restaurant. The restaurant was looking very amazing and luxurious.
We sat on our reserved table and ordered our food. Our table had the perfect view of the city and I couldn't help but look at it again and again.
"Umm, so did you enjoy today??" Seb asked me hopefully.
"I had a lot of fun today Ian. Thank you for all this." I said genuinely, not realizing my slip of tongue in his name.
Sebastian froze when he heard me, and that's when I realized what I called him.
"I-uh..I am very sorry for calling you that.." I apologized looking down.
"No no. I loved that name." Seb grinned.
"Everyone else calls me Seb. You are the first one to give me a different nickname. I like it. You can call me that." he clarified smiling.
I let out a breath of relief hearing him.
We kept chatting for some time and soon our food arrived.
"...and then we all got a lot of scolding from our parents for that. We were even grounded because of it." he laughed remembering the moment.
He was telling me incidents of childhood, and I was having a lot of fun listening to them.
"You all really did that??" I asked him flabbergasted.
Ian nodded still laughing, making me laugh too.
"I pity your parents." I shook my head amusingly, making him frown at me.
Soon, our dinner finished and it was almost time to go home too.
Getting in the car, he drove towards my home, all the while holding my hand in the car.
When we reached, we got out and as I was about to leave, he stopped me.
"I-uh actually got you something." he said nervously and took out a beautiful rose necklace.
I gasped seeing the beautiful necklace.
"It is so beautiful Ian." I said in aww.
"May I??" he asked pointing to the necklace. I nodded and turned and let him put the necklace on me.
"How does it look??" I asked him turning to him.
"It looks amazing amore." he smiled.
"amore??" I raised my eyebrows in confusion.
"That's for me to know and for you to find out." he winked and hugged me tightly.
I hugged him back and sighed happily.
"So...do I get a second date??" he asked still hugging me.
I giggled and decided to tease him a little.
"I don't know, do you??" I said teasingly making him part away from me and glare at me playfully.
I chuckled at his expression and nodded for his question. His face immediately brightened up and he hugged me again.
Parting from the hug, he kissed my forehead and bidding bye to me, he left, but not before making sure I had gone inside my house safely.
Waving at him, I entered inside and was met with all my family standing there. All of them immediately hugged me and the ladies asked me about my date, making the men sulk again.
I told all of them about my whole day and even showed them all the pics we took.
The ladies gushed while the men kept glaring at the walls, making us laugh silently.
Bidding goodnight to everyone, I left for my room and changed to my nightwear.
I was really tired after the whole day, so as soon as my head touched the pillow, I was out like a light.
The whole night, I slept with a smile on my face.
