Chapter 6
Clementine smiled as she checked herself in the mirror, she was dressed up in a red knee length dress with matching flats, she had just finished brushing her hair and was now styling it into her usual twin ponytails.
'I can't believe it, at last, after so much chaos and confusion, it's come down to this.' She reflected. 'Violet and I, going out on our first date.'
Just the thought of it made her smile widen into an actual grin as she finished getting ready and left her room, heading downstairs. The rest of her family looked up she did so and grinned.
"Wow, Clem..." AJ whispered. "You look great."
Clem laughed at that. "Thanks AJ."
Carley nodded in agreement. "He's right Clem. You look beautiful."
"Yeah, you and Violet have fun now okay." Lee added.
Clementine blushed at that, but grinned. "Thanks, I'm sure we will."
"You sure you guys don't need a lift?" Lee asked.
"No, we were gonna take advantage of the nice day, we were just gonna walk and meet up at the restaurant." Clementine explained.
The others nodded and AJ then spoke up. "You'll have to tell me about it when you get home."
Clem laughed again. "You'll be in bed when I get home, but I'll tell you tomorrow."
"Alright." AJ agreed, pouting slightly.
Still smiling, Clem grabbed everything else she needed and left the house, ready to go on her date.
Standing in her room, in the apartment she thought she'd never see again, Violet looked at herself in the mirror, she smiled but it was tremulous.
'Am I...is this really the right look for me, would Clem, would Clem like it?' She wondered nervously.
She was clad in probably her newest clothes ever, a lilac mid-thigh length dress with matching flats and tights. There was a knock at the door and her mother entered.
"Violet?"
She turned, biting her lip. "Mom, I...I just..."
"You're nervous honey." Amy said softly. "Don't be, Clem loves you and you love her and you look great by the way."
Violet shifted, blushing slightly. "You really think so?"
"Of course, now, you have fun tonight." She said warmly.
Violet smiled, feeling reassured and nodded. "Okay, I...thanks mom."
Amy nodded and hugged her daughter. "Trust me, this will be a nice experience for you."
Violet agreed, knowing that, after all, she never had anything like this when she dated Minerva. But this was different, this was a real relationship and now she was looking forward to meeting Clem and going on the date. So, smiling widely and feeling more confident, Violet grabbed what she needed and soon she left, ready for the date.
Arriving at the restaurant Violet grinned as she saw Clementine.
"Hey Vi." Clem greeted.
Violet grinned. "Oh, wow, you look, you look amazing."
Clem winked. "Thanks, you too."
"I um, thanks." Violet replied, blushing.
Grinning, Violet took Clem's hand and they began to walk inside. The hostess welcomed them warmly, not batting an eyelid.
"Hello, how may I help you?"
Clem smiled and spoke. "We've made a reservation. Clementine Everett and Violet Adlon."
The hostess nodded. "Ah, yes. This way please."
The young woman smiled at them in a polite way and Violet smiled back. It was good that they didn't have to deal with something problematic like a restaurant hostess refusing them due to their sexual orientation. They were soon shown to their table and sat down, consulting their menus. They ordered their drinks first and before long, they placed their orders and were soon waiting for their meals.
"Wow, when you think about, it hasn't really been that long since all of this started for us." Clem said softly. "But it feels like years."
Violet nodded. "Yeah, that's exactly how I feel. We…we've come so far, both of us. So many things have changed, and mostly for the better."
Clem agreed and they waited until their first courses were brought and they began to eat, occasionally talking as they ate until they finally finished. As they waited for their main courses to come, Clem smiled and leaned closer. Violet did not hesitate and responded in kind and they kissed, enjoying the sensation deeply.
Their main course arrived shortly afterwards and they resumed eating. As they did, Violet bit her lip, pondering.
"So um...Clem...was wondering, you wanna, go to prom with me?"
Clem laughed softly. "I was wondering when you'd ask, or if I'd be the one asking."
Violet gave a lopsided smile. "That a yes then?"
"It is."
Violet grinned widely, overjoyed at that and Clem returned the grin, the pair of them kissing again. They resumed their meal and, after it was finished and paid for they left, hands still linked.
"Well, the night is still young, let's go for a walk, huh?" Clem suggested.
Violet agreed, smiling widely as they walked away, hands linked, their love obvious and stronger than ever, their joy continuing as they enjoyed the remainder of their date.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
