When the neighborhood Christmas party rolled around, Bright wanted to use it as a chance to take Win out on an official date. They were already together, but everything they'd done in their development from enemies to friends to lovers had been done as a family. Considering Lita and Tess would be at the party, too, meant there wouldn't be a huge difference except Bright and Win would go to and from the party in Bright's truck while Lita and Tess went in Lita's SUV. Win was on strict orders from Lita that Tess was Lita's date and, while Win was allowed to fraternize with her date, he was not allowed to take over.
Tess was extra excited because Win had invited Uncle Tay and Uncle New to come to the Christmas party and although their travel time made it to where they wouldn't get there until after the party started, they still agreed to come. Tess told her daddy that she had enough dates for the evening for him to pay attention to Uncle Bright and not to her.
Lita and Tess were in the kitchen when they heard a knock on the front door. Lita went to it and answered it to find Bright standing on the porch with a nervous grin.
"Why are you knocking?" she asked him.
Bright smiled. "I'm here to pick up my date, auntie," he said as though it should be obvious, but a blush still creeped across his cheeks as the excitement of first dates and fresh love emanated from him.
Lita rolled her eyes. "You are too cute. Pulling out all the stops for him," she said.
Bright laughed. "He deserves it, doesn't he? How do I look, auntie? Do you think it's good enough?" he asked, stepping back. Win had talked Bright into trying out his deep royal check Burberry suit, but Lita had taken the suit and told Win that Bright would dress himself and Win would have to wait for the final result. The suit fit him really well, and he had teased his hair to lay down but in a windswept, slightly tussled way.
"If you are intending to take his breath away, then I think you may have just succeeded, Bright," she said, earning a blush from Bright at the compliment.
However, once again, it was Bright's breath that was stolen when Win made his way towards him. He was in a blue suit with a black shirt underneath. A chain link necklace rested at the hollow of his throat bringing attention to his long beautiful neck and perfectly sculpted collarbones. His hair was styled softly where the bulk of it was pulled away from his face with a few strands left to dangle in his eyes. He topped the ensemble off with a long fur coat.
