Ernest had completely cleaned his apartment. It was usually pretty tidy anyway, but he wanted it to be completely spit spot. He jumped as the little timer on the counter buzzed. He ran and pulled the quiche out of the oven. The smell of egg and bacon swept through the room. It was a lovely smell, one Ernest enjoyed. He then went to his room and got changed. His pants were fine, but he took of the suspenders and put a new shirt on. This one was a dark blue, and a tad shiny. He never wore it much, but it did make him seem a little less nerdy. As he put on his red bowtie he heard a knock at the door, and he went to answer it, jittering considerably.
As he opened the door he saw her. She had another red dress on, one similar to what she usually wore, except without the bow tie. Though she hadn't done anything special, except maybe freshen up her hair a little, Ernest was completely gobsmacked by her beauty.
"Golly Miss... You look stunning." He said baffled.
"Thank you Ernest, you look great too." She said, smiling ear to ear. He realised he was blocking the door, and stepped aside so she could enter.
She placed her coat she had been holding in her arms on the small table near the door.
"What's for dinner?" She asked. Ernest laughed.
"Sherl was right, the food is your number one priority."
"Haha, No Ernest. You're my Number one priority."
She got closer to him, and grabbed his bowtie. He froze. His Heart racing at her compliment. Suddenly he smelt burning coming from the kitchen.
"Oh Fiddlesticks! The Dressing!" He ran over to the pot to find the Dressing slightly burnt. Nothing to intense, Just tasted a but charred.
"Hope you like smokey things." He sighed.
"It'll be fine Ernest, Let's eat."
They sat down and Katrielle entered her 'Food State', completely captivated by the food.
"It Looks Lovely Ernest!" She said Excitedly.
"I hope you like it." He said smiling. They began to eat, but shortly into their meal they looked at eachother. They continued to stare, but it wasn't odd. It felt natural. They both watched as they blushed instinctively. They then giggled and went back to their food, eventually striking up conversation. They Laughed long and hard about nearly everything work related.
"You staring at me so hard, you split your tea was funny." She laughed. Ernest Blushed.
"It isn't my Fault you're so distracting."
This time it was Kat's Turn to blush. They Continued to talk until snow started to fall over the moonlit night.
"I should get going." She said. "We still have work tomorrow."
"Golly It is late, How about I walk you home?"
"Sure!" She said as they threw on their coats.
As they walked to her apartment, they continued to chat as the snow softly fell. It began to become noticeable by the time they got to her doorstep.
"I had a great time tonight Miss Layton, We should do it again soon."
"Couldn't agree more… However I have one request for now on." She said waving a finger in the air.
"What is it?" He asked nervously.
"You call me Kat from now on." She Smiled.
"Oh ok, will do miss… I mean Kat!" He said, facepalming. They both laughed, Katrielle more than Ernest. But suddenly the laughing stopped and they had locked eyes again. This time Kat took a step towards ernest and grabbed his bowtie. He was practically irresistible. She Leaned in and kissed him on the cheek, just enough to fluster him… and it worked. Ernest was completely overloaded in the moment, and while it was only a few seconds, it felt a lot longer for him. As she drew back, she saw Ernest completely flustered at what had just happened, stuttering for words. She giggled, it was just too cute.
"Goodnight Ernest. See you tomorrow." She said as she opened her apartment door and went inside.
"Goodnight Katrielle."
As Ernest walked home, he felt as though he was walking on air. He had the girl of his dreams finally. I wonder what the future will hold?
