Convincing Charles to let Eileen and me go out on a date tonight wasn't hard. When I asked he didn't need a second to think he just immediately said yes. I am damn sure I have approval from him. I had dressed myself in a pair of shorts and a simple shirt with a pair of sneakers to look a little casual. When I knocked on Eileen her bedroom door she screamed a come in. I walked in and looked around finding her in the bathroom. She wore a white dress with white heels and I can tell you they're not casual at all. More like a formal casual maybe but I had to admit she looked soooo good in it.
"Now I feel underdressed."
"Why? Maybe Charles is dressed the same and I'm just overdressed?"
"Charles isn't coming."
She stopped putting on mascara and looked at me with a little frown.
"What do you mean?"
"We're going on our first date.."
"AND YOU DIDN'T GIVE ME A HEADS UP?!"
"I just talked about it with Charles."
"Right..."
"Well I'm gonna change into something more dressed up. Will be right back alright?"
After a while I came back to the her room and she was almost done. She applied a last layer of lip gloss to her perfect plump lips before checking how she looked in the mirror of the bathroom while I just peaked into the bathroom. She could see me through the mirror and smiled softly. I changed myself into a pair of linen shorts with a button up.
"Ready?"
"I am yes. You?"
"Never been more ready for anything."
We stepped into a cab outside of the hotel who brought us to the address I had given him. Stepping out of the car we looked at a beautiful mansion. Eileen looked at me with confusion lining her beautiful features.
"What are we doing here?"
"Just wait and see."
She followed me inside and even though I wanted to hold her hand while doing so I decided not too scared that fans would spot us. We walked inside of the house and only then you could notice the buzzing restaurant.
"Hi how can I help you?"
"Reservation for Gasly."
"Ah of course. Follow me."
We followed the waitress up the stairs onto a balcony with only 1 table. One only for us. The buzzing of the restaurant had softened and was only to be heard when listening very carefully. The waitress left us alone after leaving a bottle of red wine behind. Eileen stood half a step before me looking at the table for two in front of her surrounded by rose petals and fairy lights hanging on the walls surrounding us.
"Do you like it?"
My voice was soft and unsure. Not knowing her reaction because all I could see was her back. She softly shook her head before looking at me with a smile so bright my insides warmed up at the sight.
"I absolutely love it Pierre!"
She let out a huff as she looked around once again. The sun was already setting with gave the room a golden glow over the already perfect look. I placed my hand on the small of her back and guided her to one of the seats. I helped her sit down before sitting down myself and filling our wine glasses with the perfect red wine. We had started chatting away like we had never done it differently. From time to time the waitress came to bring us our course but the remaining time it was just the two of us and our talking. While eating our dessert we went quiet for a few minutes...
"Thank you."
"What for?"
"The best first date I've ever had..."
"Thank you for letting me."
She gave me the sweetest smile I had ever seen and noticed a flush climbed it's way upon her cheeks while she looked down to her cheesecake. I chuckled softly before we continued eating in silence. When we finished we stood up and walked to the other side of the balcony looking at the stars. I wrapped my arms around Eileen her waist from behind as she softly melted into me like she was personally made by god for me. I kissed her temple as she looked up at the sky her head resting against my shoulder.
"Can I ask you something?"
"Yeah?"
"I know I promised to wait till the 3rd date until asking this... but I just can't wait Leen."
"What is it?"
"Leen will you be my girlfriend? I just know I want this and we'll we've been more then friends for a few weeks and I know it's fast but I don't wanna waist another minute without us being official. We can keep it quiet for a while I just... I just want the reassurance and the label."
She gave me a soft pout before she sighed and wrapped her arms around my neck embracing me in a hug. I hugged her back with my arms around her waist holding her close scared for an answer.
"You're so sweet."
"So?"
"No."
"What?"
I looked at her with a shocked face before she started giggling softly with a bright smile on her face. Her hands on my shoulders as she looked me in the eyes.
"You made a joke of it huh."
I softly squeezed her side earning a squeal and and a hand on my hand to prevent me from doing it again.
"Sorry it was just too funny not to."
"You little rat."
I softly pecked her lips before looking at her beautiful blue eyes.
"So you'll be my girlfriend?"
"Yes."
She kissed my lips as we slightly deepened the kiss. She tried pulling away slowly but instead it ended up in her arching her back into my arms as she grabbed into my shoulders for more stability. She started laughing again ruining our little kiss. I didn't hear her laugh a lot but I know I want to hear it more often. Just a little giggle or a smile is enough. A sign of happiness makes me happy already especially when we're talking about her.
"You ruined our moment."
"I'm sorry."
She was still laughing while apologizing which made me laugh as well. She's too cute for her own good. After we staid a little bit longer at the restaurant we went back to the hotel. Charles was relaxing on the balcony when we stepped out on it as well and he looked at us with raised eyebrows.
"And?"
"She said yes."
"YEAAAA!"
Charles flew up to give me bro's hand shake and then kissed the temple of his sister.
"Now Pierre... if you break her heart... it's gonna be a tough season for you."
"Noted."
