Chapter 8
Sansa smiled widely as she returned home. She was about to go and get ready for her first proper date with Lancel; as this time, they did not need to hide. Arya and Bran entered the house just behind her. Arya a little preoccupied with talking on her phone to Gendry. Sansa shook her head and hurried upstairs; it sounded like they were talking about a date of their own; one that had happened not to long ago.
Once in her room she sat down on her bed; she and Lancel had arranged when they were going to meet up. She just needed to wait and get ready when it was time. She had already told her family of the plans she and Lancel had made for the night; regarding their date. Deciding to at least start getting ready she quickly removed her clothing and underwear, wrapped a towel around herself and headed for the shower.
Later on she was smiling, humming to herself as she sat, clad in her dressing gown, blow-drying her hair. There was a knock at the door, she switched the hair-dryer off.
"Come in." She called out.
The door opened and Arya; clad in her usual baggy T-shirt and faded, ripped jeans, entered. Sansa normally wondered why Arya insisted on such scruffy clothing; but then again, Gendry didn't seem to mind. So she supposed it didn't matter
Arya smirked as she sat on the bed. "So, you and Lancel, finally out in the open, huh?"
"Yeah, what about it?" She asked.
Arya just shrugged. "It's about time, you guys have fun tonight, okay."
Sansa sighed. "Arya, I know it's not easy for you to forgive him, but..."
"Hey, I said nothing about you guys to the rest of the family after I caught you, and I'm cool with you guys dating, what more do you want?" Arya replied; raising an eyebrow.
Sansa shook her head but agreed, Arya had a point.
The date would be mostly casual, just a simple dinner with the two of them, but she still wanted to look nice. Finally she was satisfied with her outfit; a pink skirt that ended just above her knees, a nice grey blouse white ankles socks and a pair of pink flats. She smiled satisfied.
She quickly finished styling her hair into an elegant braid and after applying some light make-up, she was ready. She could hardly wait, smiling she headed downstairs, ready to meet Lancel just outside the house. As she left her room her excitement began building, she was looking forward to this. She had spotted his car pulling up just as she finished and she knew he'd be approaching the door.
'I should surprise him.' Sansa thought. 'It's so great we're finally out in the open, all our fears just, melted away...things couldn't be better.'
Passing the living room she noticed Arya sitting there. Nodding when Arya looked up and saw her Sansa continued and made her way down to the door and opened it, grinning when she saw Lancel standing there, hand raised to knock.
"Hey, wow, you look great." He greeted her, unable to hide his surprise.
She returned the grin. "Thanks, you too."
She looked him up and down, he looked rather relaxed, clad in his cargo trousers, red T-shirt, white ankle socks and blue sneakers. Taking Lancel's hand she allowed him to lead the way as they headed for his car.
"I can hardly wait." She said softly. "I'm looking forward to this."
Lancel grinned. "Me too, Sansa, me too."
Reaching the parking lot they approached Lancel's car, got in and together they headed out, ready for their date.
Later, as they sat, enjoying their dinner in the restaurant; Lancel pondered for a moment.
"You know, I was just wondering..." He said. "Sansa, about my family; we still need to tell them we're dating, although mum and dad have worked it out I'm sure. I don't see any problems with it, just...when should we do it?"
She nodded, thinking to herself. "Hmmm, how about, tomorrow after school?"
Sipping his tea Lancel smiled. "That, would be great."
She nodded, she knew Lancel well enough to know that; even if there was nothing to be worried about, he did tend to overthink things. But with it all planned out, there was nothing to get stressed about and he visibly relaxed.
They continued to enjoy the rest of the meal, casually chatting, Sansa was happy beyond belief; this was certainly the best date she had ever been on. Lancel was certainly a gentleman, he was sweet, caring, he listened to her, let her talk; and he was respectful, especially of her abstinence.
'This is incredible, I never imagined he would...' She thought sadly. 'After everything that happened with, with Joffrey, I never thought I could be happy again. But Lancel...wow, he just changed everything for me. Shit Joffrey, when he finds out about Lancel and I, he is going to go crazy.'
While she knew all this to be true, she wouldn't let it spoil her night. This would be a happy night, she was determined to see that.
Arriving home after the dinner, Sansa was smiling brighter than ever before.
'Gods, this has been the most amazing night so far.' She thought in amazement. 'I; I can't wait to see where this takes us; we have to, we have to figure out how we're going to go public with our relationship in school.'
But again, for now, that could wait. Stepping out of Lancel's car they made their way back until they stood together in front of the Stark family home.
"I had a lovely time." She said. "I...I hope we can do this again sometime."
Lancel nodded. "I agree, I had a wonderful time too, I can't wait to see you tomorrow."
"Me too."
They kissed; enjoying the rush of emotions it brought before finally parting, Sansa heading inside and Lancel to his car; both of them happier than they had been ever before in their lives.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
