Chapter 3
The next day it was the day of the lightning ceremony, on this day the town had a traditional ceremony that happened every year just before Christmas. At the plaza there always stood a huge Christmas tree and every year there was a special day that they lightened the tree.
There was always a lot to do too it was also the start of the Christmas market. They also planned concerts every weekend to go to, so Rourke thought it was the perfect day to start his plan with. He stood up pretty early cause for the fist time in his life he was pretty nervous about taking a woman or more young girl out for a date. As he stood up, he took a quick shower and made himself some breakfast. After he was finished he got dressed and decided to give Helga a call.
He wanted for her to come earlier cause then they could have lunch together, after the call it didn't take long for Helga to arrive, she rang the doorbell and Lyle let her inside the house. When she came in her mouth fell open because of what she saw. Everyone knew Lyle and everyone knew his reputation and with all the things she knew and had heard about him, she found it hard to believe that this was his house. It was so different from what she expected, his house was very warm and cosy it was decorated like back in the day so it had a vintage vibe which Helga loved. He also had a huge fireplace and from what Helga could see from the huge windows, a beautiful garden. They sat down and had there lunch. Rourke thought Helga was so nice to talk too she just stayed herself.
After lunch they went to the city to go and watch the Christmas ceremony. "So are you excited?" Rourke asked as they were walking to the plaza. "Yes, I have never been to the ceremony before" Helga said as she went a little closer to Rourke cause there were a lot of people and she didn't really like crowded places. "Can I hold your arm? Please" Helga asked "Sure" Rourke said as he wrapped her arm in his. "You don't like crowds hm? Rourke asked as Helga shook her head no. "Don't worry I'm here with you" he said in a calm voice as she smiled at him.
After sometime they arrived at the plaza there were already a lot of people but they still managed to find a nice spot to watch the ceremony. Rourke put Helga in front of him and put his arms around her to make her feel more secure. To be honest he also did it for himself, it felt nice to feel her so close. A couple of minutes later the ceremony started, every year it got bigger and more special. Helga really was enjoying herself even Rourke had to admit to himself that he was having fun. The ceremony was beautiful, there was music, people were dancing and of course they lit up the tree. It was a very magical moment for both of them. After the ceremony there was a concert, everyone was dancing except for Rourke but Helga didn't let him miss all the fun. She came towards him and said "Common Lyle have a dance.
"No I'm good"
"Please, one dance" Helga said as she looked with begging eyes. Rourke had to give in and Helga pulled him towards the dancefloor. She danced amazing, the way her hips swayed with the music Rourke was amazed by her. After a couple of dances that went back to Rourke his house. When they arrived Helga said " I had such a lovely time, thanks for taking me" Rourke opened the door "Your welcome, want to come in for a drink?"
"No thank you, I should go home really" she said. He really wanted for her to stay, so he tried so that she would stay.
"Just one drink, you can sleep in the guest room"
" I don't know but I guess it won't hurt" Helga said, so she went in and Lyle closed the door. They had a last drink and Rourke started to prepare the guest room, he gave her something to wear and left her so she could go to sleep. He went to his own room with a smile as he laid down and went to sleep. He couldn't wait to see how this would go further.
The next chapter will be very personal to me...
