DATE
Alex POV
"Please open the door, are you guys alright now?"
"Yes. But you haven't answered my question, Alex. Did you sleep with her?" The door opens.
"Of course, she did, and just so you know, she's a screamer," Addy answered with that naughty smirk of hers.
"Stop doing that Addy, Susie is going to be my girlfriend then fiance soon, right baby?"
"Isn't that too fast? You just got back together. Don't you think you should take it slow?" Maddy asked, getting curious.
"Well, we can't take it slow."
"Alright, you're suspicious, so spit it out already," Addy says.
"Okay, I'll tell you everything but not here, and I have a date with Susan tonight, so can you help me with it?"
"See you later, Susan." I waved at her after pecking her on the cheek.
Thank goodness, my Mom won't be home today. If this date goes well tonight, she might be my girlfriend before the end of the week.
Everything was in place. Maddy even made dinner for us; I love that girl so much. Alright, candles check, movies check. I know we would watch a movie after our little dinner.
"Oh, she's here, hey," I said after opening the door for her to get in. She looks so beautiful.
Wow, this is the first time I see her without much makeup since I came to town. She's so beautiful, and those freckles, I miss seeing it on her face. I am glad she took my advice.
Don't get me started with her dress and her hair. I always saw her with her tied up, but today she let her hair loose, and it fucking suited her with her blue strapless short gown. I think she overdid it, but I am wearing a suit, too.
Addy told me it was stupid since the date was at home and we would end up having sex, gosh that girl. Well, I won't be opposed to it, and I want to get to know her more, but if she's up for it, I will do it.
"Come sit." I pulled the chair out for her to sit.
"Such a gentle lady. Wow, this looks good. Did you order this?" Susan asked. Damn, she knows me so well. I hate cooking.
Even though my Mom tried to teach me, I refused, being the spoiled brat I was. Now, I am not regretting it, but it would be nice to know how to make pasta.
I need to learn; it's not like she knows how to cook either.
"Don't judge me. You know I hate cooking. It's not like you know how to cook."
"Well, I do."
"Wait, what?"
"I know how to cook, Alex."
"When the last time we talked, you said you hated even the sight of the kitchen, and now you magically know how to cook."
"I do know how to cook; I learned how to, especially when I don't want to talk to anyone. I watched some cooking videos online and started practicing.
Well, at first, it was to make my parents mad; I nearly burnt down their kitchen the first time I tried cooking, but gradually, I improved, and just so you know, I love baking as well."
"Did you learn that for me? I remember you hated me taking cookies or cake from Debby since she was good at baking and all."
"At first, I wanted to just impress you, but now I think I love doing them, and I also want you to taste my cookies. Maybe on our next date, I'll bring it over."
"So there's going to be next?" She nods, feeling shy.
"Don't you want that? Of course, I do. It's one of my dreams to watch you cook for me, get married to you, and have many children."
"Well, that's a big dream."
"I know, right. So how have you been? You know, emotionally and physically?"
"Well, I'm hurt, but I'm happy. I'm hurt because my parents don't want me to be happy, they just want to use me for their own selfish purpose, but I'm so glad that you're back. I missed you so much, Alex. I thought about you, and how we fell out, I don't want that to happen to us again," she said, holding my hand, feeling a little bit scared.
"I promise nobody will come between us, Susan. I want you to trust me on this."
"Alright, but how are we going to do this?"
"Not now, babes, let's just enjoy this business later." She laughs.
I took our plates to the shank and washed them. I felt Susan's eyes on me the whole time, she had requested to assist me in doing the dishes, but I refused. It's not like I was the one that cooked the meal.
"So, have you picked a movie?"
"Do you want to stay here or in my room?" Alex asked, nervous.
"Let's go to your room."
"Are you staying over?"
"Yes, if that's okay with you, I don't want to go home."
"Why not?"
"My parents are home, and I don't want to argue with them right now, and I really want to cuddle with you. I missed my cuddling bear."
"I told you to stop calling me that," Alex said.
"But you're my cuddly bunny." Susan pouted.
"Of course, I am."
"I need spare clothes."
"You know this doesn't feel like a date, it feels like a sleepover to me, but I love it."
"Good, now come lay with me and pick a movie."
"Let's watch a horror movie."
"Hell no!"
"How about romance?"
"No."
"Comedy?"
"No."
"Why do you keep saying no?"
"You know I don't like action movies, Alex."
"Come on, babes, you'll love it."
"I won't."
"Alright, how about this, since we can't decide what to watch, let's just watch an old movie. Is that okay for you?"
"Why don't we just cuddle and talk about our lives."
"Yeah, that's better, and then we can come up with a plan. But one more thing, Susan..."
"Will you be my girlfriend?"
