date me?

15. that's a date.

Erela's POV :

And I just realised he's wearing a white sweatshirt underneath his light baby blue varsity jacket with a light washed pair of baggy jeans and pairing that with blue Jordans.
Same as mine.
He's wearing a watch.
And that watch is light baby blue as well.
It's Rolex ofcourse.
I got to know from someone that his father holds some shares of that.
His hair is fluffy and cute as always.
But, the thing is...
He's wearing blue.
Matching me.
Is that why he asked what I'm wearing?
Darn it.

Lowkey cute though.

Everytime I meet him and am around him, he gives me another reason why I should be dating him.

Younger me would have definitely dated him by now.
But I got some things to clear up before starting anything first.

That's when I realize he's also holding flowers, the flowers and symbol of growth, encouragement, caution, good luck and good fortune.

Solidasters and daisies.
He bought me solidasters.
Also known as goldenrods.

Other people might have bought me roses or tulips, because that's what most people bring for the loved ones but Lance.
Whenever Lance brings me flowers.
It's always different from the ones he bought before.
He has given me flowers before.
Many flowers.
Different flowers.
With different meanings.
With different significance.
For different situations.
Last time when he bought me flowers was at September.
He bought me Iris.

Let's hear what he says about why he bought these flowers.

I liked flowers since I was a child,
But because of him, I've grown to love flowers.
I first liked them only because of its beauty from the outside.
But because of him, I have learned to love them because of it's meanings and beauty.
Because of him, I know flowers now.

He hands me the flowers and I take them thoughtfully and happily.
I look at him in the eyes with awe.

"Thank you so much, Lance. These are beautifully lovely. I am in absolute adore. I love them." I say, showing him my happiness and awe.

"May I know why you bought me these specific flowers?" I ask politely.

I wanna hear the reason that made him buy these flowers for me.
There's always a reason.

"Solidasters symbolise growth, encouragement, caution, good luck and good fortune." He says, thoughtfully, as I nod, knowing this already.
If he wasn't here I would've patted myself in the back because atleast I know about this flowers correctly.
My knowledge about flowers have grown because of him.

"I thought to bring you these as you have your mc thing for our school's Christmas event. I bought these to say good luck for that." He adds.

As I nod and look at him.
Don't make me fall in love with you.
Please.

I invite him inside my house and go inside the house with the flowers in my flowers and him following me and then I put the flowers on the vase of our dining table.

And say "Thank you for that."
As we head out.

Like I said this is not the first time he has bought me flowers.
Everytime he gives me flowers I put them in the vase of my house's dining table.
Another reason why my mum loves him.

"Let's go." He says.
As I sit behind him on his bike.
And he starts the bike as I get slammed onto his back again, making me hug him.
I hear him chuckle.

This freaking.
Ugh.

He slows down after a while.
But I'm still holding me.
Because I don't know when this big boy might fasten up.

We are in the theatres right now.
It's kinda cold here.
Actually it was cold even before but me being me thought it will be a idea idea to wear a crop top in December.
I had picked out a white jacket to wear above this but my mind was too occupied with thoughts and thoughts and thoughts.
So I completely forgot about it.
Now I gotta suffer.
Pouf.

We are just going in the cinema hall when Lance says "Let's get some popcorn and a drink, before starting the movie." as he looks at his watch.

"We still got some time." He adds.

I nod and as we walk together, he grabs me by the waist and pulls me closer, then let goes of my waist and opens his jacket and puts it over my shoulders and says "Wear it, I know you are cold."

"No- I... I'm okay. No need for this." I say.

He just stands still and looks me, in the eyes and says "Wear it, Rilly."

I do.
And now I'm wearing his jacket.
I just hope, I don't encounter anybody whom I know here.

We then get a big size popcorn and two sodas.

"Are you sure you want soda, Rilly?" He asks.

"Yup." I say.
Actually I want to get water and soda, I don't like soda, like I have said before. I prefer water but it'll look awkward if I get water.

"We can get a water bottle if you want." He insists.
How does this guy know, I prefer water over soda.

"Sure." I say, quickly.
It'd be nice.

He chuckles.

"Okay." He says and gets a bottle of water.

After that we head towards the cinema hall.
And honestly speaking, I don't remember which movie we are actually watching.
I didn't even check it.
So surprise, I guess.
Thinking of it he might choose a romantic movie so that during the kiss scenes he would look at me and say "would you like that?"
I know him.

Sitting on our seats we wait as the movie starts and when it does I look at him.
Jesus.
This man.
I love him.
He picked out a Disney animated movie for us to watch.
How does he know that I like animated movies over anything.
I would rather watch Disney and get called childish than watch anything else.
Honestly I don't care, if anyone thinks that's childish.
It's just my preference.
This big boy is a husband material, no doubt.

"You choose an animated movie for us to watch?" I ask, looking genuinely curious.

"Yeah, I thought you liked it. Right?" He says, looking at me.

"Yeah I do but how do you know that?" I ask.

"Of course I do. Shouldn't I know what you like and don't, If I'm in love with you." He says, smiling, still looking at me, in the eyes.

"You're a husband material. Do you know that?" I say, now giving my attention to the movie.

"Anything and everything for you, only for you, Rilly." He says, still looking at me.

"Lance." I say.

"Yeah?" He replies.

"You are popular and hot and rich. You can get anyone you want, don't be stuck on me." I say, more like asking him an indirect question about why he chooses to make moves even when I'm not giving him the attention.

"I can't. Clearly." He says as he points at me.

I look shocked for a sec and then say "Move on from me."

"I can't." He says.

"I mentally and physically can't get myself to do so. You're stuck in my head. You're the one I think before going to sleep and when I wake up.
I forget to eat and do things. I wake up in the middle of the night calling out your name. A day without talking to you, isn't a day for me. You're in my head, you're in my dreams." He adds.

I just look at him.

"Give me a chance. Trust me, I won't disappoint you." He says.

"Give me some time." I say.

He smiles.

"Thank you." He says.

Why am I giving him false hope?
I can't break his heart.
He's so in love with me.
