The Mystic Hearts Series

Chapter 104- Robin

He guides me up to the house, holding the door again for me when we reach the house. He wears a black button up and dark jeans, his hair braided and wearing classic wing makeup. I can't help staring at him in the evening light as we come inside.

"You- look great..." I smile nervously, eyes drifting to his.

He smiles shyly, face reddening. "T-thanks... You too, love..."

I grin nervously. "T-thank you... Where is everyone?"

He plays with his hands as we walk down the hall. "Hira's at a friend's house & my parents went on a date night, so we could have the evening alone..."

I smile nervously, face heating. I clear my throat. "Oh... That's... considerate..."

He laughs nervously as we reach the dining room & I gasp.

. . .

The lights are dimmed, the room lit by some fragrant candles. The table is set for 2, a... guitar (?) case sitting on a chair some distance away. He pulls out my chair for me, smile shy & eyes soft.

I grin, biting my lip slightly as I sit, my head lifting up toward his. "You... really didn't have to do all this..."

He blushes, sitting down across from me. "I didn't have to... but I wanted to... I know it's not the same as going out, but..."

I beam. "No, it's great. I... love it..." He smiles, blushing as he brings over our food. Spaghetti & meatballs. I grin, chuckling slightly. "Very Lady & the Tramp of you..."

He chuckles nervously, face reddening. "Yeah, I know, kinda cliché... I just thought... it was 1 of the few dinners I know how to cook &..."

I raise my eyebrows. "Really? I thought you were good at cooking? You made that cake..."

He chuckles as we dig into our food. "No, yeah... I'm ok at baking, but... cooking is a whole different thing... Maybe it's just because I'm much more interested in fulfilling my sweet tooth than anything else, haha..."

I chuckle, grinning up at him. "I mean, mood... You should have baked something so that I can eat everything, haha..."

He smiles slyly. "Oh, no, I did... make something... You'll just have to wait..." He winks at me & I blush, turning back to my food.

"O-ok..."

Aw, the awkward love birds. Young love- my babies are growing up so fast, lol
