Prompt Used - Fuchsia
Nerves
She smiled at how nervous he looked. Holding out a bunch of fuchsia flowers out in front of him, he gave her an awkward smile. She took the flowers, lifting them slightly to smell them.
"Thank you, they're beautiful," she told him, gesturing him into her flat so she could put them in water. He stayed silent while she fussed over the vase, and while she did find his nervousness sweet, she wanted an actual conversation at some point during the evening.
When she was done, she picked up her clutch and stood beside him.
"Are you ready?" she asked, raising her eyebrow slightly.
He nodded. "You look really pretty."
She smiled her thanks.
"Marcus?"
"What?"
Without giving him chance to say anything else, she pressed her lips to his in a chaste kiss. Holding it for a couple of seconds, she stepped back.
"What was that for?" he asked, stunned, as he raised his hand to his lips.
"I'm hoping that now the nerve-wrecking part is over, you'll turn back into the charming, funny man I know."
He chuckled despite himself, and nodded. "I'm sorry. I turned into a marshmallow, didn't I?"
"Little bit," she replied with a grin. "Shall we go and get some food?"
"Absolutely. And Katie?"
"What?"
He pressed his lips to hers for their second kiss, pulling away to tell her, "You really do look stunning."
