I'm really sorry this took a while, I had major writers block. I also was not feeling the greatest but oh well here's the latest chapter ! I hope you like it
It's Saturday, the day before Sunday and the day after Friday. The second last day of the week. My date with Madeline! What am I going to do! I have never been this nervous to go out on a date with someone before. Well that someone happens to be the most beautiful person on the face of the planet. I've been basically running around my room trying to find something decent to wear for probably an hour now while trying to calm myself down. Finally after an unbelievable amount of time I have found a suitable outfit, which consisted of your basic dark wash jeans (that sat where they're suppose to not half way down your legs) my 'Mr. Awesome' belt buckle with a white polo shirt and a navy blue blazer. Checking my hair again in the mirror, running my hand through it to give it that cute messy look. Smiling at the myself I turn around to face Gilbird sitting my bed, "So Gilbird, I look awesome right?" he chirped in agreement and flew over to perch himself atop my head as I run upstairs. Grabbing my keys and helmet I slip on my black converse, take Gilbird off my head and set out for Madeline's house.
~~~.: At Madeline's House :.~~~
Madeline's been dancing a round her room for about a good hour. "Oh kuma! I'm going on a date! With Gilbert!" she squeaked spinning around with her fat white cat in hand. Kuma let out a meow that sounded more like a 'who' as she flopped down on the bed. "Gilbert Beilschmidt! you know, the guy I have had a crush on since half way through grade 11! He asked me to go to the fair with him and he's going to be here in an hour." Madeline looked over at the bedside table that doubled as a analog clock, staring at the time her eyes widened, "he's going to here in an hour!" she started to panic, "what am I going to wear!" Madeline started rushing around her room going through every drawer in her dresser until she found her usual attire, baggy blue jeans and t-shirt and a red pullover. Just as Madeline was throwing her hair up into a ponytail and knock came from the door, opening the door she was surprised to find Francis standing on the other side. "H-hi Francis", ushering him in she went back to fixing her hair.
Francis looked his younger cousin up and down sighing he asked, "Madeline are you really going to wear that" gesturing to her outfit, "tonight, on your date with Gilbert?" Francis could tell by the way her face lit up in a blush that that was her exact plan. Walking over to her closet he started pulling out clothing. A navy blue knee length skirt, a cream blouse with a bow and a red and white long cardigan that had little maple leaves lining the bottom. "Here," Francis tossed the outfit at Madeline, "now put these on, then I will fix your hair and make-up." he said stepping out of the room.
After a few minutes Francis returned to Madeline's room, eying his younger relative he smiled, "oh ma chérie tu es magnifique!" he said guiding her towards the mirrored desk. Francis started working on her hair and make-up. He gave a her a diagonal waterfall braid that started from the left, leaving her bangs out and kept the make-up very natural looking, highlighting her eyes. Francis was just putting on the final touches when Alfred started yelling,
"Hey! Mads, Albino's here!" they could hear some commotion down stair, most likely a disagreement way happening. Madeline quickly admired herself in the mirror, wow she looked really pretty, before grabbing the small polar bear backpack that was hanging off the back of the door. Just as she was about to leave Madeline turned around and gave Francis a gentle hug, "merci".
Francis pulled Madeline out to arms length and smiled proudly at her, kissing the top of her head softly he replied, "have fun." he lightly pushed Madeline towards the door. Smiling back at her cousin she moved down the stairs.
"Well Gilbert, it was nice meeting you," Madeline could hear her step father's booming voice coming from the entrance. Stepping around the corner she spotted Alfred and his father standing On either side of Gilbert. Alfred looked like a much younger version on his father, they both had wheat blonde hair, blue eyes, both were rather built and a loud voice that carried though out the whole house. The older of the two stretched his hand out to shake the albino's, which he followed suit with. "Now you better take care of her, you hear me. I want Madeline back by no later then eleven got it." his voice was very stern, throwing a look over his shoulder he calls, "Madeline!"
"I'm right here Franklin." both Alfred and his dad jumps as she steps closer to them. Madeline laughs slightly at their reaction to her presence. A blush starts to appear on her checks as she watches Gilbert's face lit up at the sight of her. Franklin looked at his step daughter with a soft smile.
"Now Madeline, if he does anything you don't like you let us know alright." he placed a gentle hand on her shoulder as reassurance, Alfred did the same in agreement with his father. Madeline smiled up at both blondes then turned her attention back to Gilbert as he stepped forward.
" it was nice meeting you Mr. Jones, Alfred. I will make sure your daughter is home no later then eleven and I assure you no harm will come to Madeline while she is with me." He said very politely and both gave him the nod. Turning his sights back to Madeline Gilbert opens the front door, "are you ready to go?" he smiled brightly. She opened her mouth to answer but closed it again, Madeline looked behind her to see Francis giving her the thumbs up. Returning her gaze to Gilbert, Madeline nodded softly and slowly walks toward the exit. Stepping out the door she gave a small wave to her family before leaving the porch.
