Thelma was ready. An excited squeak escaped her lips as she stared at the mirror. She looked different. More prettier! Theresa had given her a little make-up.
"Are you sure you don't want me to apply more lipstick? " Theresa deadpanned. She wasn't happy with Thelma's idea of 'Look simple! '.
"It's just a dinner! " Thelma shrugged "I just need a simple make-up".
Theresa rolled her eyes, "Date, stupid! It's a date! "
"So? "
"Would you like Oscar to look at other girls during your date? "
"No! But I believe he likes me being simple. In fact, I am more comfortable looking simple. I can't be like you, Theresa "
"I can't be like you, Theresa " Theresa repeated mockingly. "So pathetic! " she added.
She threw her arms in the air, "Thelma, I have tried "
She jumped into the bed. Thelma continued to admire herself. She wore one of Theresa's expensive dress.
"Theresa, can I you lend me one of your necklace? "
"Because I like the idea of you dating Oscar, feel free to pick anyone? "
Thelma walked to Theresa's drawer and began to select. Her eyes caught a necklace that laid on the dresser. She smiled and picked it.
"How do I look, Theresa? "
Theresa's eyes shot out when she saw the necklace.
"How dare you? " she bounced out of the bed. "Take it off now" she yelled
Fear gripped Thelma as she quickly took it off.
"But... " Thelma trailed off.
"No, buts! Pick any other one" Theresa said softly as a smile appeared on her face. In case you might be confused, that was the necklace she was meant to keep close to heart.
That's the one from Alex.
A knock was heard on the door. A yelp escaped Thelma's lips as she ran around the room searching for her purse.
"He is here! " she declared nervously.
"Thelma, your purse is on the dresser. Why are you so nervous? " Theresa said and swung the door open.
Oscar stood at the door smiling ear to ear.
"Someone is looking good today " Theresa winked.
"Thanks! " Oscar replied. Thelma appeared at the door. She was looking stunning. Her light blue gown was sparkling with crystal like beads. Her hair was wavy and silky. She let her brown eyes to bore into his. They completely forgot about Theresa's presence.
To spoil the moment, Theresa cleared her throat.
"I hope I am not interrupting anything " an evil smirk was evident on her face.
Thelma's cheek became bright pink as she stared at the floor.
"Why are you two blushing? " Theresa asked. She was smiling at how uncomfortable they were.
Oscar awkwardly scratched the back of his neck as a nervous chuckle was heard.
"Thelma, don't blush to much so that your fave won't be as red as a tomato " Theresa added and winked at Oscar.
"Bye now! Enjoy yourselves " she at least ended the awkward moment and pushed Thelma out of the room. She shut the door and bounced into the bed.
"Someone needs to know how he slept today. O should send his picture as a sleeping beauty " she announced and began to operate her phone.
***************************
*Theresa is so annoying. Now, she has made this atmosphere awkward. I don't know what to say*
Oscar and Thelma got to the car. He politely opened the door and gestured, "Go in, Your highness! "
Thelma couldn't help but blush when he flashed her his million dollar smile.
*I should definitely take Theresa's advice. I don't want to blush and be red as a tomato*
We drive continued in silence. Thelma let her gaze drop at Oscar's face. His eyes shone bright blue. She couldn't help but notice the little stubble underneath his jaw.
His pink lip were pressed into a thin line. He frowned his brows as he tried to keep his attention on the road but you could tell he was in control.
"Are you checking me out? " a mischievous smirk appeared on his flawless glowing skin.
He must be using good body cream! She thought.
"Hmm.. No.. What? " Thelma stuttered.
A warm smile creased his face. "You look really beautiful, " he chuckled nervously.
"Hmm. Thanks! You... You look.. look. beau.. Handsome. You look handsome today. I mean you have always been handsome. Sorry I am just nervous " Thelma rant as she fiddled with her fingers.
"Me too! I am also nervous " he sighed.
"Why? "
"I want it to be perfect and I don't know whether you will like the restaurant" he replied.
"Don't worry! I will" she smiled and placed a hand on his.
"Why are you so sweet? "
Thelma giggled. "Am I? "
He burst into a fit of laughter. His voice coming out sweet and melodious in the ear.
*He is just too cute for himself*
He pouted and replied "You are as sweet as a candy or may be my favourite chocolate. I could die for that chocolate " he beamed.
Thelma burst out laughing as well, "As a chocolate? "
"Don't you like it? "
"Of course I do. Chocolate can put a smile on my face anytime " her amused voice filled the atmosphere.
He pouted again.
"Awwn! Cute! " she murmured.
"What did you say? " he cocked an eyebrow.
*Should I repeat myself? Yes! I will tell him he is cute. I just love how awesome he is under those spiky dirty blonde*
"You are cute when you pout" she said with a newfound confidence.
His cheek were tinted bright red. He was blushing with his cute dimples so prominent. Thelma's heart began to do backflips as the butterflies in her stomach ran crazy. It felt like a hurricane was happening within her. Her whole body had this tingling feeling. Then, she at last blushed. She looked at the window. Oscar drove into a parking lot.
"We are here! " he announced. He stared at Thelma grinning ear to ear.
"Should I get down? "
*Oh, gosh! What a stupid question? Of course he wants me to get down. I can be so stupid *
"Not yet! "
*Phew! Thank you for not making me look stupid *
He brought out a red handkerchief. He smirked.
"I am gonna blindfold! " he chimed, his toothy smile melting every walls in her heart.
She nodded. He leaned close and wrapped it around her eyes.
"I hope you love it? " he quaked.
"Don't be! I am really excited " she shrieked.
"Wait here "
He got out the car. Silence followed till the door beside her opened.
"Gently! " he led her out. He wrapped his arm tight around her waist.
"I am here. You won't fall" he joked.
She spank his shoulder lightly as she giggled. After some minutes of walking, he asked "Are you ready? "
"I was born ready" she giggled.
He removed the blindfold.
"TADA! " he threw his hand in the air "We present a dinner under the gaze of the stars "
Thelma gasped as she took in the beauty that was set before her. She smiled. Her cheeks ached from the impart. Her face was bright red by that time.
"Do you like it?"
"Nope! I love it" she shrieked.
It was a candlelights on the table. There was flowers, lights and rose petals everywhere. Just too romantic. Under the moonlight brought a peaceful atmosphere. The music 'Perfect' by Ed Sheeran played softly on the background. To crown it up, the fragrance was heavenly. She couldn't put a name to it but she knew it lifted her spirits. Just prefect like my dream date.
🎶I found a love for me
Darling just dive right in
And follow my lead
Well I found a girl beautiful and sweet
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me.... 🎶🎵
"Why? " she asked.
"Why?" His brows furrowed in confusion.
"I mean, all this for me? "
"Do you think I was joking when I said you were sweet? I am treating my princess the way a princess should be treated" he leaned so close to her. Seeing she didn't move away, he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into a warm, sweet and passionate hug.
When he lean away, a certain emotion flashed his eyes. Thelma freaked out at that.
"Can we eat? So hungry" she exclaimed to stop the awkward feeling she was having.
"Sure!"
They sat down as a waiter appeared from nowhere and began to serve them.
*Freaking out mood!!! I don't like what I am feeling? Help! My brain is on overload. All my feelings are mixed up and confused. Who do I really like now? Alex is my high school crush and I know I would kill to be by his side. But Oscar comes in being all charming. He has the blonde hair and blue eyes like Barbie's Ken. What should I do? I am so scared of this. How will it all end? Will he ask me to be his girlfriend? You know what! I will just follow my heart. That's what I'll do. My heart!! *
Thelma's heart almost failed her when Oscar had interrupted her train of thought with his lovely voice singing alongside the song 'Perfect'.
🎶🎵Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song 🎶
As soon as Oscar saw her staring amazed, he smiled and winked. Thelma did what was right of a girl like her should do. Blush!!
He leaned and placed a finger under her jaw and sang, "When I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful. I don't deserve this, darling, you look perfect tonight "
He leaned away and his cheek flushed bright red. He was smiling hard that his blue eyes began to sparkling from the candlelight reflect.
*He is so so... I can't even describe it. It is official! I am doomed. Two guys in my heart and no idea who to pick. Totally doomed*
"Thelma, can I ask you something? " he chuckled nervously as he rubbed the back of his neck.
*Please don't! I am not ready*
