Chapter 9 – Eternity
I have to ask her on a date, I have to ask her on a date, I have to ask her on a date…
I paced my room pondering my decision.
Ask her.
Don't ask her
Ask her.
Don't ask her.
Ask her!
Yeah I'll ask her!
I walked to my door, turned around and began pacing again. What am I going to say?
Oh the heck with it!
I opened my door, and walked down towards Star's room. I knocked on the door and she opened it.
"Hello Robin! May I help you?"
"Hey Star, IwaswonderingifyoumightwanttomeetmeinthatnewItalianresturantdowntownlater?"
I said it all so fast she didn't hear me.
"Sorry?"
"I was wondering if you wanted to meet me in the new Italian restaurant downtown at six?"
"Yes that would be fabulous!"
Glad that's over.
"I'll see you at six then?"
"Yes! That would be most glorious!"
I smiled and walked off, not to my room, to Raven's.
I knocked and one of her eyes appeared in a crack at the door.
"Yes?"
"I need your help. What would Starfire like? I'm going on a date with her tonight, and I want to make her happy. Please, I need you help, I only have until six!"
"Whoa calm down Rob, come in and I'll help you."
I walked into her room and spoke with her about what Starfire would want.
Well, it's 5:59PM and I'm outside the restaurant waiting for Starfire to arrive.
A figure landed in front of me in a pink sparkly dress; Starfire. It reminded me of the time I went to a prom with Kitten – forcibly – I'd never go with her off my own will…
I offered Starfire my arm and led her in. I was in a tuxedo, as I should be…I'm in an odd mood tonight. Raven persuaded me to do something.
We sat down at out table, and I pulled a pink velvet box from my pocket. She saw it and almost screamed.
"Don't get too exited," I told her, sliding it across the table. "It's an eternity ring. Not an engagement ring."
She took it and placed it on her finger. She kissed me and we ordered our meals.
That was a nice night…
Now, I have vowed to stay with Starfire for eternity.
But we're not married…
Yet.
