Marigold
“hey, it's a first date not a wedding ceremony. Stop being nervous” Eliza said and hit me playfully on my shoulder
“what exactly happens on a first date again?” I asked and stared intently at her
“you eat then talk about stuff. Mostly about the both of you. You ask questions about his personal life, things like his hobbies, favorite food, favorite color... All those stuff” she answered and I sighed
“sweetheart come on, you've gone out to dinner with him several times”
“yeah, but not in a fancy dress and heels and makeup” I said and she laughed
“then forget you're wearing all those. Mari stop being nervous”
“easy for you to say” I mumbled and she chuckled
“I wonder what's keeping him so long. He ought to be here by now” she said and stood up from the bed where we both were sitting
“you have to remember to give Goldie her milk by 8pm. And please make sure she poos before 9pm” I said
“sure baby” she replied and looked into the mirror
A car honked outside and I knew it was Wilbur
“wish me luck” I said as I stood up
“good luck. Whatever happens, don't forget to bring a takeaway”
I laughed and opened my room door
“I can't forget something as important as that Eliza” I said and she laughed
“bye, my regards to Will”
“okay” I replied and walked to the front door
I was wearing a pink dress and Eliza had curled my hair but let it fall on my left shoulder. I also had a purse, a white purse
I opened the door and almost gasped when I saw Will. Gosh he looked so beautiful. I mean beautiful.
His hair was no longer in bangs and it appeared darker.
He was wearing a black suit and his skin shone brighter.
“Goldilocks” he said with a smile
“hey” I said and returned the smile
He moved closer and gently and slowly placed a warm, moist and long kiss on my neck. I felt tingles and electricity ran through my nerves. My legs became wobbly and I held unto his arm for support
He held me to himself with his left arm firmly wrapped around my waist and trailed short kisses upward to my cheek. He kissed the side of my lips and then kissed my chin then went up and kissed my forehead
He pulled himself back and gave me a flower from his right hand. So he's been holding a flower all these time?
I collected the red rose with a smile though I wasn't happy he didn't actually kiss me after giving me signs and symbols that he was gonna kiss me sweet.
I inhaled the fragrance and looked at him
“smells like you” I said and he grinned
“you really look beautiful tonight. I almost got jealous of myself that I'm taking you out” he said and I laughed out
“crazy” I said and he smiled
“come on, shall we?” he asked
“yes we shall” I answered and moved out. He wrapped his arm around my waist again and walked me to the car. He opened the door and I sat in while he went through the other side
