THIRD PERSON POV:

It was almost four in the evening, and Ophelia was finishing some touches of what she's wearing. She opted for a short purple velvet dress and a leather jacket, paired with some Doc Martens, and of course some fishnets. She only hoped Elijah wouldn't take her for a long walk, her shoes are not meant for that. 

Anyways, while doing her makeup and what not, she took a look at her phone and noticed it was almost time for Elijah to come and pick her up. She can't deny she's filled with nervousness and fear, but it can't be that bad. After all, they did give their souls to each other that one day. And in a daze filled moment, the sound of a loud car whistle awoke her from the daydream. Quickly, she grabbed her tote bag and sprinted to the car.

When Ophelia got outside, she was greeted by a cleaned up Elijah Hewson, leaning on the side of his car, looking through his cellphone.

OPHELIA'S POV:

Once he noticed I was standing there, he looks up. I could swear there was something in his eyes, something I could confuse for adoration.

"Lia, hello!" He checks me up and down. "You look beautiful, my dear." Oh, dammit. There he goes. His stupid charm.

"Ah... Ummm. Oh! why, thank you." I said, a bit too clumsily. Fuck!!!! There you go, Arango, making a fool out of yourself in front of your date. I blush slightly from embarrassment.

While continuing to walk to the car Elijah opens the door for me, and waits until I'm in to close it. And they say chivalry is dead!

"Thank you, Eli." It was a sincere compliment.

He's now seated. "No need to thank me, Lils." He grabs my hands, and caresses them softly. "It's no big deal, really." Sweet sweet heaven, pleaseeeee, make this man mine.

I took a glance at him and, God, he's just looking as good as ever. How can a man look so good without even trying? I'm really having an internal meltdown because of this man. God, I'm so pathetic. I blush.

"So, Eli... Would you be kind enough to tell me where we are going, now?" I say batting my eyelashes very seductively at him, or at least I think. He took notice of me through the rearview mirror with a very big smile.

"Well, sweet Lia, I'm afraid I cannot reveal that. Please just wait, we're so close to the place." And just like that he's got me enthralled. Forever. 

With a very convincing pout, I responded to him. "Oh. Bummer"

And within five minutes we found ourselves in a stop.

Grabbing my hands together in an evil mastermind kind of pose I had to let Eli know how excited I am about finally knowing what we are going to do. "Ajá, so now I can know where you are taking me to!!" I'm on a roll. Let's hope it's chill, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.

As I'm about to open my door, Hewson comes running to my side and opens it for me. "Uhm, yes, milady. I'm going to grab this thing from the back." It was a basket. "And now, just follow me." He quickly grabbed my hand, and I clutched it as if there was no tomorrow. I never want to let go of it.

"Whatever you say, sir."

THIRD PERSON POV:

Ophelia and Elijah made their way through a somewhat skimpy tunnel, which had Lia quite perplexed.

"Uh, baby, where are you taking me?" Complained the girl.

Stunned by the nickname he was given, Elijah Hewson just couldn't help but struggle with his words. "I- I- We are gettin- uhm, w- we are getting close, it's all worth it. Oh, I swear!"

And he was right. It was worth it. Call him cheesy but this man knows how to plan a date. Right at the end of the tunnel was a beach.

Just then, Ophelia started jumping up and down, all while still holding his hand. "Oh my God, ELIJAH!!! OH MY GOD, WE ARE AT A BEACH!!!" The boy starts giggling. All his nerves start fading away. 

"Yes, we are." He replied while leading her further down the beach.

ELIJAH'S POV:  

I could not stress that enough. Thank God she's happy. At least my idea worked. I was so worried that I would fuck it up or disappoint her, but apparently she's more than content. My heart is full and I'm glad. 

I make her wait while I grab the blanket from the basket and start accommodating everything. 

"Wait! We're having a picnic too! Holy shit, you really are the best." She exclaimed. Later giving me a kiss on the cheek. I was left flushed. 

CLIFFHANGERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR (sorry, I love you)
