The Girl in a White Dress

Chappie 21

Christian's POV

Candice and I are now walking towards our car, and I still felt like I'm on cloud nine. Even though she didn't tell me that she loves me back, she still did kiss me...that has to mean something, right?

Before she goes inside the car, I turned around to face me and said with a smile, "Don't cook dinner, okay? Tonight, I'll be the one cooking for you."

"Do you even know how to hold a knife?" she said with an amused expression on her face.

I gave her a flat look and said, "Of course I do. Now, get inside. And in a few hours, you'll be eating the most delicious food in the world!"

She laughed while shaking her head and went inside the car.

Three hours later, we're sitting on the sofa, watching a movie while eating pizza. "You're right, Christian. This is the most delicious food in the world," Candice said with a laugh.

Apparently, I can't cook to save my life. I was planning on cooking carbonara with garlic bread, but it didn't work out. So, now, we're eating pizza. "Well, I'm sorry. I didn't expect cooking to be that hard," I pouted.

"It's not that hard," she laughed.

"Easy for you to say. You always cook," I said.

She scooted closer to me and kissed my cheek, "Next time, leave the cooking to me."

I blushed like a little girl, and I hate it. I mean, a grown man should not act like a little girl! It's weird! Candice is really ruining my macho persona.

 Friday, 4:45 pm

I'm now watching Candice sing "Hey HO" by The Lumineers. "♫ You belong with me, I belong with you. You're my sweetheart, ♫" Candice sang. After Candice came into my life, I couldn't imagine my life without her anymore. She became my life, and it's totally fine with me.

She finished her song, and as she was walking towards me,a guy blocked her way. Great, it's him again. What's his name again? Was it Darren? Oh well, who cares?

Candice finally finished talking to Damon and made her way to me with a smile on her face. "Hey, Sweetheart," I greeted her.

"Why did you call me "Sweetheart?"" she questioned, furrowing her eyebrows.

"You sang that I'm your sweetheart, so I guess you're my sweetheart as well."

"I was singing to the crowd, silly."

I shrugged and voiced out my thoughts, "It feels like I'm the only person you're singing to." She smiled, and I cleared my throat. "So what does Daniel want?" I pertained to conversation earlier with Derick.

"His name is David, and he invited me to a concert!" she was smiling ear to ear now.

"You're not going."

Her smile instantly disappeared. "I am going to that concert with David."

"But I don't want you to go..." I told her the truth.

"Why not?"

"Because I'll be all alone." I don't care if I sounded needy. I just don't want her to leave me alone.

She smiled and said, "You can come with us." I looked hesitant, so she added, "It'll be fun!"

Ugh, the things I'd do for this woman..."Okay."

  The band that sang in the concert we attended was not that well-known. They just covered a lot of songs. It's okay because they were good.

Candice was right. This was not so bad. Even if David was with us, she didn't make me feel out of place. The band is now halfway through the song "Little Things" by One Direction. As they sang, I just stared at Candice and thought of how blessed I am that I have her in my life.

She sensed that I was staring at her so she stared back with a smile. "♫ I'm in love with you and all these little things.♫" With that, Candice wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me,

I instantly wrapped my arms around her waist and kissed her back. She pulled away and rested her head on my chest. "If I get a kiss every time we go to a concert, then we're definitely going to every concert in town ," I said breathlessly.

I felt her smile against my chest, and she looked up at me and said, "Oh, Christian, we don't need to go on a concert just for me to kiss you."

I blushed at her words. With that, we completely forgot about David, and she kissed me again.
