Part 3 - The Date

Josephine

Friday night

I look in the mirror and I apply my red lipstick. I decided to wear a simple outfit. A black tank top, a blue pleated skirt and my nude sandals. And this time, I took a blazer with me.

I am ready for my date with Hero. And I'm freaking out. It's been a while since my last date and I wish this will be a good date. I take one more look in the mirror and I leave my room. I wished my parents wouldn't be in the living room.

Louis: "Are you going somewhere, sweetheart?"

Jo: "Uhm, yeah..."

Louis: "Where?"

Jo: "I have a date." And there we go... Question and answer session.

Louis: "With whom?"

Jo: "With a man. I didn't changed my orientation, dad." I'm pissed.

Louis: "Josephine..."

Elizabeth: "Darling, let her have fun. She needs some fun before settling."

Louis: "Where did you met him?"

Jo: "On the internet." Lie. I don't know if date will like the fact that I'm dating a Fiennes. The relationship between our families aren't that good.

Louis: "I want to know everything about him."

Elizabeth: "Louis, enough. When the time will come, we will met this man."

Jo: "Thank you, mom. I love you, guys. See you later!" I say and I leave the house.

I walk to my car and I get inside. I start the car and I drive to the coffee shop. I find a parking lot and I park my car, then I go to find Hero. I finally see him next to the entrance in the coffee shop, with a rose in his hand. So sweet. He instantly smile as he sees me and I can't help but do the same.

"Hi."

"Hello, beautiful. This rose is for you." He hands me the rose.

"Thank you." I blush.

"Shall we go?"

"Yes. Where are you taking me?"

"You will see." He takes my hand and we walk to a car. A Range Rover. I suppose this is his car. It's a big one.

"Do you like big cars?"

"Yeah, you don't?" He helps me to get inside and then he drives away.

"Not really."

"What car do you have?"

"Audi R8 Coupe."

"Uh, really nice. I wanted to buy one a few months ago, but I decided to not let my beauty."

"Maybe I will take you on a drive one day."

"I would love to." He smiles and he continues to drive until we arrive in the front of The Ivy Asia. An Asiatic restaurant and I would say my favorite restaurant.

"Did you put someone to know what I like?"

"Huh?"

"I love this restaurant. I love Asiatic food."

"Oh... This is just a coincidence. I didn't know."

"Did you make a reservation?"

"Of course, I did."

We walk inside the restaurant and the receptionist is taking us to our table. A few moments later, a waiter hands us the menus, but I know exactly what I want.
