timothee had been a little early, arriving at 6:45 with some flowers. he had dressed himself in a white button up and a blazer with some black trousers, his hair a little neater than it usually was, but it still had the natural messy curls he was known for. marley had opened the door for him, since elodie was still in the bathroom curling her hair and doing her makeup at the same time.

once she was finally ready, timothee had stood up, not yet looking at her. when he did, his heartbeat quickened as he came to the realisation that he may have to fight a man tonight. she had decided on a white dress on the shorter side, reaching her mid thigh. her blonde curls fell over her shoulders.

she looked beautiful. absolutely beautiful.

"hey, gorgeous girl." he smiled, handing her the flowers. this time, they were blue tulips. "i'm running out of vases, chalamet. they're beautiful. thankyou." she took them from him, handing them to marley who had offered to scope the house for an empty vase. "beautiful flowers for a beautiful girl. i am actually at a loss for words, you look stunning." he kissed her cheek before taking another long look at her.

"go! enjoy your date! my fiancée is on her way over and id like an empty house!" marley returned from the hallway, a wide smirk on her face. she loved saying fiancée. timothée laughed at her, and gave her a quick congratulations before pulling elodie out of the door with him.

the drive wasnt a long one, only ten or so minutes - but she saw the queue to get into the restaurant, which seemed like it would take longer. timothée opened the car door for her, personally escorting her out of the car and to the side of the queue. "why are we skipping the queue?" she whispered to him. he grinned to himself. "i paid extra for them to seat us straight away." she blushed at the gesture (elodie was not a patient girl.)

"bonsoir, j'ai une table pour deux réservée." timothée spoke, causing elodie's cheeks to turn a very dark shade of red. she somehow always forgot he was french, and it made her heart skip a beat everytime he spoke.

"êtes-vous monsieur chalamet?" the waiter responded, searching through his reservations. timothée nodded. "follow me." he switched to english. as soon as they had sat down, elodie spoke.
"i always forget you're french."

"really?" elodie nodded, slightly embarrassed. "my whole family has french in them. its what we talk in when i'm at home with them. their english isn't perfect, but it's good so they'll be able to speak to you when you meet them." when she meets them. elodie noted. not if, when.

"say something else in french."

"je t'aime plus que tout au monde, et parfois j'ai l'impression que ça va me tuer." she grinned, only deciphering the words 'i love you.'

"say something else! i love this."

"vous êtes si belle. si je pouvais, je passerais le reste de ma vie à te regarder. regarder tout ce que vous faites. tu es belle, mon amour."
she hadn't realised how red and flustered she had become, but he had. and he took great pleasure in it, discovering a weak spot of hers he could use in the future

"does me speaking french turn you on?" he smirked, entirely amused with her reaction. "shut your mouth, chalamet." she mumbled, hiding her head in her hands. "what are you ordering?"

"you know, i think i'm gonna get the soupe à l'oignon française." he was teasing her now, picking the only item on the menu that had yet to be translated. "you're a bastard."

"and you're into my french."

"you're going to be a single man if you keep this up."

"for some reason, i don't think i will love."

AN: timothee teasing elodie simply because he can <3
