Chapter 50

Charlie: Adie grabbed a dress from the closet and got dressed in the bathroom while I tried to calm my pulse down.She always made me extremely nervous. Even after 10 years she took my breath away. When Adie came out, I was amazed. She was wearing the black dress I designed for her a few weeks ago. It was kind of a pre-birthday present. "Wow!!" I said with a proud grin in my voice. "You look amazing honey." "I love that dress," she whispered flirty. While I was in a kind of trance and just stared at her, I noticed we were running out of time. Nora would show up any minute, so we had to get out of the house quickly. I reached out to Adie and said, "Come on, beautiful woman, we have a lot of plans." We grabbed our things and drove out to the lake. Adie was not a person who you can impress with money or jewelry. She loved being outside and was an enterprising person. We walked through the park, fed the ducks and later went to a local fair. It was a beautiful day, and Adie seemed to be enjoying it. We drove bumper cars, were on the Ferris wheel, and I won a giant panda bear for her. Armed with cotton candy, we later walked down the street. "How do you want to go to the cinema with that?" Adie asked me with a giggle and gesticulate at the 1m giant panda. "Whooops... maybe we have to buy a card for him too?" I replied with a grin. We walked to the cinema and had exactly 3 hours until we should be home. Adie chose a movie while the man at the cash register had to resist laughing at our cuddly buddy. I wasn't sure which movie played, and I was relatively indifferent to it. Next to me sat the most beautiful woman in the world, with an oversized panda in her arms and a sweet, happy smile on her face. After these tough 2 weeks, it was just beautiful to see her smile again. Adie cuddled on my arm through the entire movie. Later we walked home arm-in-arm. I told Adie that I would bring her home and then unfortunately have to go. She nodded, but her face twisted into a sad expression. She didn't want me to leave... *if she knew* I thought secretly and suppressed a grin. It was exactly 8pm when we stood in front of her house. All the lights were out when Adie opened the door...
