A Blind Date Is The Start

Chapter 4

Gabriel's POV

After seeing Isabella today I felt more... Expressive.

I made Jason, my assistant and also best friend to pay their bill with my card. And I continued my meeting with another CEO.

I was so focused on the meeting that 3 hours had passed. After the other CEO left. I was still on the table, I glance at the table Isabella was, she had already left.

"Jason"

"hm?"

"i want you to do something for me"

"when you talk like that it makes me think many different things, go ahead then... What do i have to do"

"stop overreacting, I'll sent you a location, I want you to sent something"

Isabella's POV

I walk in my house. Mom and dad are at work for a few more hours.

I take off my shoes and sit at the living room couch.

I didn't see any dress that caught my eye for the prom. And it's in a week...

My thoughts were interrupted by the bell.

Who would it be?

I stand up and go to the door

"Yes?"

"Hello, there's a delivery for Ms Isabella...?"

Delivery? I didn't order anything...

I open the door and see a delivery man holding a bouquet of roses

"are you Ms Isabella?"

"ah, yes that's me"

The man hands me the flowers
"this is from mr... Roberts"

Roberts...? Sir Gabriel?

"thank you.."

The delivery man leaves and I close the door. I look at the roses.

Why did he sent me flowers...?

I put the flowers at the kitchen table, trying to stop blushing. I take one of mom's vases and put water inside. I put the roses in the water and take the vase in my room.

I place the vase near the window, so the roses can  have some sunlight.

I take a photo of the roses. I click on Instagram and put the picture with the roses on my story, I also write a poem.

'If I had a flower for every time I thought of you, I could walk in my garden for eternity'

I then post the story.
I put my phone down and just stare at the roses... Thinking of this man.

A notification popped on my phone and I look at it

"did you like the roses?"

Sir Gabriel...

"they are beautiful... Thank you"

"I'm glad you like them, I don't know your favorite flower so I sented roses,i hope you don't mind"

"i dont hate roses don't worry, I think they are pretty"

"did you have fun with your friend?"

"Yes, we went shopping for the upcoming prom, it's in a week"

"oh, right, it's that time of the year huh.
So, did you find anything you liked?"

"nothing caught my eye, I'll probably go tomorrow in other shops,maybe something will, I still have a week so I'm not in a hurry"

"are you going with your friend then?"

"she has a family gathering so she won't come"

"would you like my company? I'm free tomorrow,if you feel comfortable"

Go shopping... With sir Gabriel..?

Gabriel's POV

I'm at my parents home for dinner, we are in the living room just chatting.

I Simultaneously text with Isabella, in my contacts her name is 'little lady', a small joke for her age.

When I asked her if she wanted to go shopping together 5 minutes ago I felt nervous, she still hasn't responded...

I put down my phone. Maybe she is doing something and can't answer?

Not even a minute passed and I got a message.

"I'd like that, maybe we can also have dinner together? I'd like to repay you for paying today"

A smile came to my face, this little lady is something else...

"it's a date then?"

"if you want to call it that"

"i can pick you up after school if you want"

"if it doesn't trouble you"

"not at all"

"then, I'll see you tomorrow"

"Yes, rest well, Isabella"

"you too, Gabriel"

I look at her story
'if I had a flower for every time I thought of you, I could walk in my garden for eternity'

Does she think of me..? The thought only made me a bit flustered...

(The next day)

I'm waiting in my car, in front of the school.

Some students are starring at me. Do I look weird? I'm in my suit... Do I look old?!?

I hear the bell ring and I brush my hair with my fingers and stand straight.

Students come out, leaving the school, but my eyes search for one.

My gaze lands on the girl, Isabella. I didn't even realize I was smiling.

I open my cars passenger door for her and gesture her to enter.

I then close the door and go to the driver's seat and start driving.

"did you have fun at school?"

"i did, I was with my friend, the one from yesterday"

I drove us to the parking lot near the shops.

"do you have anything in mind?"

"not really, I just walk here and there, looking around"

_______________________________
For about 2 hours, we didn't find anything.

We ate dinner at a restaurant, I let her pay after she threatened me that she would throw out the roses I gave her.

I drover her home and left.

I want to do something... I want to find something... And I have a idea.
