The British Princess

Part 47

The following day I was still trying to get back into selection mode now that Liam was gone. Raydon today said he'd planned a date for us, so I eagerly agreed.

"Close your eyes Cherry."

I look at him hesitantly but he waits for me to close them with an excited grin. The last I see is Ray with a smile on his face, surprising as he's usually smirking or grinning, but he seems genuinely excited.

"Alright, keep the eyes closed, but I'll lead you in." I listen to where Raydon's voice is, right in front of me, just before he takes my hands and guides me forward.

I'm moved into the room slowly before Raydon's hands slip from mine and he closes the door behind me. He then comes back around in front of me.

"Ready?" He asks, enthusiasm in his tone.

"Yeah." I say and thankfully Raydon says I can open my eyes, so I do.

He's set up the room for a movie, the massive couch in the centre that you have to crawl back into. There's little candles lit on the table, along with a massive charcuterie board filled with food.

I didn't have the heart to tell him I'd just been on a movie date with Tate, as he seemed to be so excited to do something for me.

"I was thinking a movie. What do you think?" He asks, clearly eager for my approval.

"I think that's really nice Ray."

He smiles. One of his happily smiles, not his usual smirk that I had gotten so used to. I wonder what changed his attitude.

"Let's sit, eat and talk about what we want to watch." Raydon says, offering me to sit first.

He was being so kind today, it was different. He's usually so arrogant. Maybe he's taking this more seriously, which is a good thing.

"This food looks amazing."

"It tastes amazing too." Raydon says with a grin, eating a handful of the fruits.

I pick out a cracker and pile cheese and salami on it before I eat it. He was right, the food does taste amazing.

We snack and scroll through a list of movies before we agree on an action one with a bit of romance to appease me.

Raydon sits back when the movie begins and gestures for me to sit with him. He opens his arms out.

"Sit with me Cherry." He says, and I let him take my hand. He sits right in the middle, trying to get me to lie back on him.

I hesitate to lie on him and he pouts, wanting me to lay with him.

I give in and lie my back against his chest, my head resting just below his. His arms are resting at his sides, but he moves them to wrap around me.

The movie plays and I lean my head back to see Raydon, "Are you sure this is comfortable?"

"It's perfect Cherry." Ray says and kisses the top of my hair.

I think I was about to fall asleep I was so relaxed, also the fact I was up late last night with Tate making me tired. I always got sleepy during movies.

As the movie continues we find out that one of the main characters speaks French and she starts yelling it at everyone when she's angry.

Raydon leans forward so he can whisper in my ear.

"Do you know any French Cherry?"

I feel warm with him so close to me, speaking like that, and I nod, "I know a little. Not fluent, but I used to take lessons."
