Love At First Sight Part Two

Chapter 231 - Fuck Off!

Erling's POV

As I come home Eve has already cooked dinner. I sit down at the table with her and start eating but I don't really concentrate on her because there's something very important im discussing via WhatsApp right now. Whenever Eve says something I give her a short answer but then concentrate on my phone again. Suddenly she gets angry which I really don't understand. Like... I know we're not having much time together at the moment but she definitely should be able to not have my attention for one evening. She isn't a baby anymore, she's grown up and should really be able to survive an hour without me. And that's pretty much exactly what I tell her. She looks very sad as I tell her to shut up and this view kinda breaks my heart but the chat is more important right now. I'll say sorry later.
As Eve has left the room I can finally concentrate on the chat again. "How should I tell her about it? I mean... It's so difficult. I can't just go to her and tell her everything, you know? I don't want to fuck up.", I write. The answer follows immediately: "Yeah of course not. But you can tell her where to meet you and then you tell her about everything. You won't fuck up, I'm sure." I sigh and then write: "But how do I tell her where to meet? She'll be freaking out when I say that I need to talk to her! And then she'll come there early and will find out in a way that I didn't plan it to happen! It'll be a disaster!" "It won't be a disaster and if you tell her where to come without some dramatic words like 'I have to talk to you' she won't be freaking out or early and everything will go as planned." is what I read next and I sigh loudly again, then I tap on the call symbol. "Erl, stop peeing yourself!", Astor says immediately. I again sigh loudly, then whisper: "I am just so damn scared to fuck up!" My brother laughs quietly and says: "Erling. Eve loves you more than anything else in the world. She really does. And the day will be perfect. She is having University stuff in the morning that day, isn't she?" As I nod she keeps talking. "Perfect. Then you make her a wonderful breakfast with her favourites. Like... Pancakes, orange juice, fruit, hot chocolate... All the things she loves. And then, when she has to do her university stuff, you serve her a big cup of her favourite tea and cookies and tell her that you have a surprise. Then you tell her where to meet you and leave the apartment to supervise the preparations. And you'll tell Julian or Jadon or someone else you trust so they can help you with the suit and hair and those things, we both know that you fuck those things up when you're nervous. Then you send everyone away and when Eve arrives you two have a some great food and a glass of champagne. It will develop into a wonderful evening and maybe you can even watch the stars from the terrace. And when the moment is perfect you'll go down on your knee and ask her. It's not that hard Erl." I smile and say: "Sounds like a good plan. But what... What if she says no? That would be hor-" "She will say yes, Erling. She loves you, she wants to marry you, she wants to start a family with you. She will say yes and on the perfect day you two will get married and she'll be the most beautiful bride in the world and you'll be the happiest man in the world because you have such a wonderful wife. Really Erling, dont worry about it. She really loves you. And she will say yes. Everything will go the perfect way. And now stop looking worried or is there anything you didn't tell me about yet? ", my brother interrupts me and in the end he raises her eyebrows a little. I sigh, lean back a little and ruffle through my own hair before I answer:" Whilst we were chatting earlier she had cooked and she told me about her day but I was so concentrated on is that I didn't really talk to her and in the end she was really angry I think. But I was getting mad too and shouted at her, telling her to shut up and then she looked sad and left the room." Astor's jaw drops and she raises her eyebrows again. "And you let her go without trying to hold her back?", he asks angrily and as I nod she adds: "Erling fucking Haaland! You damn dumbass! You will go to your girlfriend now! You will say sorry and you'll cuddle her and you will do whatever she wants you to do. You will cook for her of she wants you to. And you will massage her feet if she wants you to. And if that takes five hours it takes five hours. You can't just treat her like that. Telling her to shut up? And saying that it's none of her business? Do you get how that must have sounded like to her?" As I think about it now I realise how it must've looked like. And my heart skips a few beats. It must've looked like I was cheating on her. And oh lord, I would never do that, really, never! And I definitely have to tell her!
I thank my older brother and end the call, then I walk to the bathroom where Eve had been locking herself up. I loudly exhale and then knock on the door. "Eve? Can we maybe... Talk?", I say. I immediately get my answer. "Fuck off!", Eve shouts and only a second later I hear her sob loudly which breaks my heart. I return to the living room and sit down on the sofa. I get my phone out and dial Gio's number. Hopefully my best friend can help. Whilst I tell him about everything Luna steps towards me and presses herself against me to comfort me.
