Alissa
I've got a leave from the office today. Eric himself told me to take a leave so that I have enough time to be ready for the date. I bought some new clothes for myself and also some new jewelry and other accessories. I bought a dress and thought to wear that today. It was completely black and had a deep v-neck. It came till my knee and had a v shape cut from the middle. The straps were tied behind my neck. I wore grey earrings and they were touching my shoulders. I wore my black heels. They were two inches high. I put on my lipgloss of red color and put on some makeup. I picked up my clutch which was of grey color. I remembered that I have to wear a necklace too. So I had one which was of my mother. She had kept it in a box before she passed away. I put it round my neck, it was also of grey color. I left my hair open and just curled them a bit. I quickly went down and looked at the time. 6:58 he must be on his way. I waited patiently. Suddenly, I saw Jade coming down from her room. She looked at me and her eyes lighted up.
"You are looking gorgeous" she commented.
"Thank you sis" I said.
"He must be coming I guess" she said referring to Eric.
When I told her about me and Eric she looked at me like I've lost my mind. But when she believed that I am not joking than she was happy. Suddenly the door bell rang and I suddenly felt nervous. I looked at Jade and she gave me a reassuring smile. I opened the door and there he was. My prince charming. He was wearing a white shirt underneath his tuxedo. Underneath he was wearing a black pant and black shiny shoes. His hair were slit back and he was holding that smirk on his face.
"Like what you see?" He said in a teasing voice.
I blushed and said shyly "Shut up"
"You are looking gorgeous" he complimented.
"Thanks. You are also looking good" I said in return.
"Only good?" He said.
"Very good" I said nervously. He just chuckled and looked straight into my eyes, making my heart skip a beat. He walked a little forwards and I was frozen on the ground. My legs were unable to move.
He brought his face closer and we were almost going to kiss that suddenly someone coughed from behind. JADE!!!
I wanted to throw her on the ground right now. Why every younger sibling is like that? He suddenly got back and we both looked at her.
"I think you both should leave. It's already 7:07. You will be late otherwise" She said with a smirk on her face.
"I think he want his face to be rearranged" Eric said with arrogance.
"Hey hey hey....Calm down okay.... Ignore him" I said quickly as I didn't wanted him to create a scene.
Soon he brought our orders and kept it in front of us.
"What would you like to drink?" He asked and gave us a small menu which had names of plenty of wine.
I looked through it and finally decided. He asked me and I said "Penfolds Grange Hermitage" he noted and asked Eric he ordered "Domaine Leroy Richebourg Grand Cru"
He noted it down and left. Just after a minute he came back and kept our wines in front of us. I noticed he kept a small chit under my glass of wine. I looked at him and he winked at me. I opened it and it was written "Meet me outside the kitchen"
My eyes almost popped out and the chit was snatched out of my hands. I looked at Eric and he threw a punch at that person. My jaw literally drop. I put my hands on Eric's biceps to stop him. He threw the money on his face, held my hand and we were out of the restaurant. He took me towards the car and pushed me towards the door. My back was on the door and he was towering over me. He crashed his lips on mine and kissed me. It felt so right. I felt like nothing can go wrong now. I know that Eric will never leave my side.
