Chapter Twenty-Seven

"Love is in the Air"

Anders was rushing around the house, trying to sort out these thoughts running through his head.

What should I get her? Does she want anything? Of course she does, she's a girl! Be polite. Be a gentlemen. Most importantly, be cool.

He went into his room to change and closed the door. He slipped off his white t-shirt and looked at himself in the mirror. He flexed his muscles and tried his best to look tough and sexy. He took a look at his stomach. It was firm and thin, just as he'd want it to be. A picture of him before he took the job at the mines flashed in his mind.

Miyu I looked stupid! I look like some kind of tortflick! I'm glad I shaped up.

He went over to his small closet and looked disappointedly at his small range of choices. He had no good shirts or pants. He would have to chose from a sky blue button-down t-shirt, a jade green sweat shirt, or a white turtle neck.

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions. Which one would she like best? Not the turtle neck, too dorky.

He threw aside the turtle neck with a smile and closely examined his remaining choices.

I want to ear the blue one, but will she like it? I hope so.

He threw aside the green shirt and slipped on the blue one. He buttoned it up and examined himself in the mirror. It was long and baggy, just the way he liked it. He looked good, so far. He know slipped off his green pants. He looked at his selection here, this time it was much wider. He narrowed it down to three again. Another pair of clean jade green baggy pants, a pair khaki army pants (bear with me, I'm not good with clothes), or a pair of faded jean pants. He quickly decided on the jeans and slipped them on. They fit perfectly. He slipped on his black outdoor shoes on and took a final look in the mirror.

Very nice, she'll love it.

(At Renee's hut in her bedroom.)

Renee too was trying to decide on what to wear.

Oh Miyu, why is this so hard? Its just Anders, he'll like me anyway, right?

She pulled out a black spaghetti-strap dress that ran down to the knee and a faded blue jean mini skirt with a black top that said "Pro-Batoneer". It meant that she had been certified to use her pole in a sport called "Baton-Reaming", which was very popular on Tameran. She looked at both of them longingly, but in the end she decided to wear the dress. She pinned a pink rose on her chest and looked approvingly at her reflection in her mirror. Now to do her hair.

(Back at Anders's hut.)

Anders walked into the bathroom and squeezed out a little lorpee's gel onto his hand. He rubbed it between his hands and then proceeded to spike up his hair with it. He usually just used a normal low-quality gel, but this was a different occasion. He took his long, thick spikes and perfected them. They now gleamed in the light. He put some off brand deodorant on and decided that was enough. He went into his bedroom and looked out side, it was almost time.

(Back at Renee's hut.)

Oh Miyu, its 6:30! I have to hurry!

She slipped on some black fancy tennis shoes (god I'm pathetic) and ran to the bathroom. She put on some pink eye shadow, french-vanilla lip gloss, light blush, and some black eye liner. She puckered up and smiled. She looked outside and guessed that it was about 7:00 now and she should get going. She went out the door and was shocked at how cold it was.

She walked a little ways, trying to decide whether or not to wear a jacket. She finally decided against it, there was no time. She practically ran to the lake, expecting Anders to be sitting there impatiently, but she was alone. She sat down on a log, relieved that she wasn't late. The cold nipped at her face and legs as she waited for her date.

(On the path to the lake.)

"Man I'm going to be so late, and its freezing!"

He trudged on through the cold and to the lake. He had worn a black leather jacket just in case. He saw her and immediately started to apologize.

"I'm so sorry, I lost track of time and I……"

"Its okay, I thought I would be late."

They smiled and laughed at how much of a deal they were making.

He helped her up and examined her slender body.

Miyu, she is looking hot tonight.

She noticed his staring and blushed.

"What?"

He snapped out his trance and gave a small laugh.

"I guess I was just surprised at how beautiful you are."

If it was even possible, this comment made her blush even more.

"You look great too."

"Uh…Thanks."

She rubbed her arm and looked up at the sky. She let out a small shiver.

"Here, take my jacket."

He slowly slipped it over her small shoulders and she looked comforted. They both smiled at each other and held hands as they walked down the path. He squeezed her hand once and she squeezed back. They laughed and talked about childhood memories or incidences with their siblings (or Anders's in this case). Renee leaned her head on his shoulder as they walked and he pulled her close. Anders stopped walking at Gordando's hut, so did Renee when she noticed he had stopped.

"What are we doing here?"

"You'll see."

Gordando appeared around his hut and signaled the couple to come with him. Anders looked down at Renee and pulled her close to him.

"Come on. I had Gordando prepare a special surprise for you."

She smiled and happily followed him. They went around Gordando's hut to the riverbank where Gordando stopped and signaled Anders to cover Renee's eyes.

"Where are you guys taking me?"

"You'll see, it's going to be great."

Anders slowly led Renee around the corner where he uncovered her eyes. She let out a gasp and looked in enchantment at what she saw before her.

They had prepared a wonderful dinner table on a small boat that Gordando had rented.

"This is for us?"

"Of course, only the best for you."

She looked up at him and gave him a small kiss on the cheek.

"You shouldn't have."

"Now, I know I'm not really dressed for it, I didn't have anything better, but it'll still be fun."

Gordando motioned for Renee to get on the boat by the outstretching of his arm in a butler-like manner.

"Miss."

He took her hand and helped her onto the boat. Anders came soon after and whispered to Gordando,

"Thanks a lot buddy, I'll keep my end of the bargain, gardening, harvesting, and picking for two whole weeks after work."

"No problem, thanks for helping out since I hurt my back."

They shook hands and Anders climbed onto the boat as he watched Gordando stroll back to his house whistling the tune of "Love is in the Air". Anders shook his head and turned to find that Renee had already gone inside. He followed her in and he could only stare in amazement with her at what he saw.
