Chapter 2
I heard the doorbell ring as I was applying my light pink lip gloss. I ran down the stairs as fast as I could. I was wearing cute black dress pants with a pretty purple cardigan. On my feet, I wore cute strappy silver heels. I don't dress up often but I wanted to look perfect for Eli! I hoped he liked it!
-I'll get it!
I opened the door slowly and tried to make it look like I hadn't just made a dash for the door. Eli was standing, arms folded as usual, infront of me. He wore black jeans and a black top. He knew I perfered he wear colours but these must be the only things close to dress clothes that he owned. I didn't mind this time, he actually looked very cute.
-Hi, Clare. Ready to go?
-Yeah, just let me grab my purse.
I grabbed my purse that was hooked on the door handle and shut the door behind me. Eli slipped his hand into mine and we headed down the driveway. We walked a couple of blocksr before stopping infront of an old italien restaurant. He ran infront of me and opened the door.
-For you,
-Why thank you, Eli.
-No problem.
I walked through the door and Eli followed.
-Resvervation?
-Yes, for Eli Goldsworthy.
- Right this way.
We followed the waitress down an aisle of tables until she stopped at a table for 2. It had a rose in a clear vase on the table. It was placed next to the window, just the way I liked it.
-Window seat, just as you requested sir.
-Thank you.
-Eli! You requested this just for me?
-I told you I wanted to make this perfect.
-Well, I told you, it would be as long as I was with you.
-I had to make sure.
He pulled out my seat for me and took my jacket. He gently placed it on the back of my chair and then sat down across from me.
-What would you like to eat?
-I could go for pizza.
-Pizza it is. Want to share one?
-Yes I'd love too.
The waitress came and took our order. It was not very long before the pizza came but in the mean time we talked about all different sorts of things. It was so romantic.
-Thank you Eli for a wonderful night. This was so romantic!
I said as he helped me put my jacket back on.
-Your welcome, you know you deserve it.
-I didn't deserve anything. You're just the best boyfriend ever!
-Only because you're the best girlfriend ever!
With that, we walked home. Holding hands, but in silence. Neither one of us minded. It wasn't awkward silence at all it was actually just peaceful silence. We'd gotten to know eachother so well. When we finally reached my house, we parted our ways. He pulled me in close and then kissed me. He kissed me once more on the forehead before saying good-bye. It was perfect. Eli was right. He did create the perfect night for me, it was so romantic and quiet. I loved every minute of it!
