Eunomia

Chapter 53 "Wear something black"

~Bryony~

Today was the day of our date, nobody knew I was going on a date with Sebastian, I wanted to tell Olive but then Quentin appeared and screwed everything, as he always did. So today the fashion crisis will be mine only, no future fashion designer to help me pick what to wear.

I was getting on my nerves, I didn't even know where was Sebastian taking me so how did he expected me to know what to wear? I decided to text him before I lost my mind.

«Where are you taking me? I need to know the dress code.»

His answer didn't take long to make my phone vibrate.

«Wear something black.»

«Black as a garbage bag?» I asked sarcastically because he wasn't very specific.

«Black as elegant.»

That answer reduced my options further. I opened my closet just paying attention to the black clothes when I heard my phone vibrate from the other side of the room so I went to check it.

«And sexy too.» Sebastian added to his last text.

I smiled when I read it, then I threw the phone to my bed so it wouldn't disturb me in my task of trying on all the black clothes in my closet looking for an outfit for our date.

I ended choosing a black dress, tight at the top and looser at the bottom. The dress was long sleeved, the back had transparencies and a zipper in the middle, it ended in a V-way that gave way to the loose part of the dress. The shape of the garment highlighted my butt so I liked how it fit me.

Sebastian told me he would pick me up at 7 so I left the house with five minutes left before the clock struck seven o'clock, and, as I predicted, he was there, leaning against his car. I reached him with a big smile drew on my lips but I couldn't say 'hi' because as soon as I placed myself close enough to him, he brought me even closer. His hand was still at the end of my back when his lips met mine.

We had already kissed before but this kiss was difference. There wasn't that first polite kiss that asked me for permission to keep kissing me, instead he kissed me with crave since the beginning. I put my arms around his neck, standing on tiptoe because I had decided to wear flat shoes. Our tongues met, one of Sebastian's hands was caressing my face while the other had slipped a little further down from its initial position. I had come to the conclusion that I liked to kiss him, because there were just us, us both faking to be alive without anyone that should have stayed dead bothering us... I like it, fake life or not I like it.

We stopped the kiss for catching our breaths, I found funny that none of us would die if we didn't.

"I told you I would kiss you." He warned me.

"And I lie saying I wouldn't let you." We smiled. I took a step back so I could watch Sebastian, and so he could watch me.

Sebastian was weirdly dressed in white, as an exception of his Jordan and his pants that were more like gray. He was wearing a white shirt rolled up and it surprised me to see he didn't match his outfit with his leather jacket.

"And I thought your soul was dark..." I scoffed remembering that day he lied to me saying his tattoo symbolized 'the darkness of his soul'.

"It is." He assured with a smile. "I didn't want  to take away your stardom." He stare at me carefully from feet to head. "I love that dress on you." He flattered me and I felt my cheeks blushing slightly.

"And I lo–" I hurried to correct the words that almost left my lips without consulting me first. "Eunomia." I said with a shy smile.

"Eunomia." He said back before holding the car door open for me.
