Okay guys I know it's been a while since I've updated but I really have a lot of things to do in school. You know college life. But anyway, thanks for still reading my story. I really appreciate it. So here it is the date of my favorite couple.
Gale is really excited with his date with Madge. He is going to bring her to a really fancy restaurant. He's really thankful that he saved some money from his salary from his job at Thom's. He save money just in case of emergency. Madge said she doesn't want anything fancy, but Gale wants this date to be special, this is their first date and he wants it to be memorable. He is on his way to his house to change. He'll just wear the same clothes he wore during the acquaintance party. When he entered he saw the worried face of his mother.
"Ma what's wrong?"
"Oh hello Gale. Remember Mrs. Simmons?"
"Yeah, we ask her last month if she could lend us some money because we need it when Vick was hospitalized. Why?"
"Well, she's asking if we could pay her now, I know she said we could pay her once we could but her daughter was hospitalized and she needs money for the surgery. I still haven't received my salary, that's why I'm thinking how I could pay her. She is really nice and I want to pay our debt to her, she was the only one who helped us when we are in need."
"Oh." Gale knows Mrs. Simmons, he knows that she is not that rich but she is willing to help anyone. She didn't have any second thoughts when they ask her if she could help them financially. Gale really wants to help his mother and the only way to do that is to give her his savings.
"Ma, just wait here."
"Here, I hope this is enough to pay our debt to Mrs. Simmons."
"But isn't this your savings. I know you are planning to use this with your date with Madge."
"Ma, this is our savings. This is more important. Don't worry about my date with Madge, I will just find a way."
"I don't want to ruin your date tonight Gale."
"Ma, I told you, I'll find a way, I promise I won't cancel our date. You know us Hawthorne men; we could solve any problems especially when it comes to wooing a woman."
"You really are like your father. I'm so happy to have you as my son."
"Thanks Ma, now give that to Mrs. Simmons. And while you're gone, your genius and romantic son will find a way to solve his date dilemma."
"Okay."
Gale is really having a hard time thinking what to do, now that a date in the restaurant is out of the question. He wants to make this date special, but he can't form an idea and he will also not cancel this date. And then Gale remembers the park where he used to play when he was little. It is already dark outside so he knows that no one is there. It became his refugee when his dad died. That place meant a lot to him. Then to make the date more special, he cooked. He knows that Madge will be surprise on how good of a cook he is. He went to the park and arranged everything and then he went to Madge's house.
When he saw Madge, he was speechless. Madge is wearing a really beautiful pink dress that is made of silk. Gale is starting to worry it might get dirty because they'll be sitting in grass but he doesn't want Madge to be disappointed because he knows she chose this dress very carefully.
"So are you ready?" Gale said.
"Well, it depends, are you ready?"
"Well be prepared for the best date of your life."
"You are really confident, huh, Hawthorne."
"You know me." But in reality, Gale is really nervous because he doesn't want to disappoint Madge.
"Well, lead the way."
Madge is starting to get confused. The way that their taking is not the way to any restaurant. She knows she lost her ways sometimes but this time she is sure that the way they are taking is to the Hawthorne house.
"Are you trying to get even with me because I got us lost on our way to my house?"
"No, just trust me okay."
Then they reach the park. It is just a simple park with a playground. But it is huge, during the Sundays a lot of families go here to just eat and relax. But now, no one is there.
"The Park?"
"I know, I'm sorry, I knew it was a bad idea."
"No don't apologize I'm not mad, but Gale you could've told me, I mean I think I'm a bit overdressed." Madge said smiling.
"Well you look really good and don't worry no one will notice that you are overdressed."
They made their way to their spot. Gale put out all the food and candles. When Madge saw the candles she started laughing.
"What?"
"It's just that..are you planning to have some sort of candlelight dinner while we are sitting in grass."
"Yeah..anything wrong with that?"
"Gale we are outside. If someone sees us with those candles they might think we are doing some rituals. And it is not so dark with the moon and the stars."
"Okay. No candles."
"Thank you. By the way did your mom cook all this? Isn't she busy?"
"I'm the one who cooked all this?"
"Seriously?"
"Yep." Gale said proudly.
While they are eating they started talking. Gale told Madge the reason why he had to bring her in the park instead in a restaurant. He also told Madge why the park is his special place.
"You know you are the first girl I bring here."
"Really? Not even Posy."
"Well I brought the kids here but you are different."
"Okay. Thank you for bringing me here and I'm glad that you didn't bring me into a fancy restaurant. I'd rather be here alone with you than to be in a place full of people."
"I'm glad."
"Thanks Gale, you I really had fun. I know we just ate and talked but I'm happy that you brought me to your special place."
Okay I know this is just a fluff chapter. But I can't help it. By the way, next chapter will be Madge's check-up. We will find out what really is happening to her. And who could be our mystery doctor? Review.
