Reggie walked to the orphanage in a new beautiful blue dress holding a bouquet of lilies. Her mom naturally was surprised when she had asked to go clothes shopping the night before, but that only lasted a few seconds before a sly smile slowly grew on Judy's face.
"awwwww my Reggie's first date", she cooed pinching the extremely blushing girl's cheek playfully before pulling her into a tight hug. Needless to say Reggie took this shopping spree a bit more seriously than the previous one, and surprisingly could be quite picky about her clothes when she wanted to. Even with the combined efforts of Judy, Esther, and Gwen it had still taken three full hours before Reggie found a dress that was "half way descent" to present to Conelly, despite their continued assurances that Conelly would fall head over heels for anything Reggie picked out. Finally Reggie arrived at the quite homey orphanage, giving herself one last once over before knocking timidly on the door.
"I got it Carmella", Reggie's breath temporarily caught in her throat, with the promise of her beloved so near. "hey Reg", Conelly greeted with a smile embracing her princess even before the door was completely open.
"Well looks like someone missed me", Reggie laughed while holding Conelly securely in her arm's.
"I missed you too princess", Reggie lovingly cooed in her ear, prompting an adorable giggle from her beloved.
"Awwwwwww", the girl's heard snapping them both out of their dreamlike trance, just in time for the flash of light that followed.
"You girl's are so precious together", the twenty five year old girl gushed as she saved the picture to her phone. "I didn't want to interrupt your moment but it just begged for a picture. So I'm guessing you're the famous Reggie that Conelly's told me so much about".
"Yes ma'am", Reggie answered respectfully.
"oh please sweetheart just Carmella is fine", the young lady assured as she gave Reggie a gentle hug, "it's the least I can do for the girl that's made my Conelly so happy".
"I hope I have Carmella, she's my everything", Reggie boldly declared putting an arm around her girlfriend and giving her a sweet kiss on the cheek, which of course caused the girl in question to light up like the fourth of July. "Though we better get going if we're going to make it to Chili's on time".
"Alright well you girls be safe and have fun".
"We will", Reggie assured. "I'll try to have her home by eleven if that's ok?"
"that'd be perfect", Carmella waved as the girls set off hand in hand.
