The Scientist's Son and The Soldier's Daughter

Where They Went Ch.8

~Three hours earlier before the Dads came~

Evan's POV

"Wait. You're asking me out on a date?", Delilah asked, raising an eyebrow, as she was washing dishes. "Of course. After all, we didn't even get a first date.", I said, drying the dishes. "Well...I don't know. I've never been on a date before.", Delilah sighed, while scrubbing a dirty dish clean, before handing it to me. I mentally gasped. My beautiful angel has never been on a date!? "Are you serious? How come?", I asked, putting the dried dish in the top shelf of the sink. "My dad never let a guy near me.", Delilah lightly chuckled. Of course. "Then I shall be the first.", I said, taking Delilah's hand and twirling her around. Her smile was simply amazing to witness. "Ok, Romeo. I accept it.", Delilah giggled, as she had to stand on her tippy toes to kiss me. I lightly smirked, as my lips melted against hers. "Are we interrupting something?", Natalia asked. Me and Delilah looked at the doorway, watching Natalia and Takeda, as they slightly smiled at us. "So, what were you two discussing?", Takeda asked, as he entered the kitchen, holding Natalia's hand. "Evan asked me on a date and of course I said yes.", Delilah said, drying her wet hands on a rag. "Can we have a double date?", Natalia pleaded.

Delilah's POV

How sweet. "Sure, Natalia!", I said, smiling at her. "So what are we going to do? Dinner? Movie?", Evan asked. "Dancing?", I suggested, looking at Takeda. He didn't seem like the dancing type. Fortunately, he nodded, along with the others. "Vunderbar! You girls get ready then.", Evan chuckled, a little bit of his German accent finding a way into his voice. "I don't have anything nice to wear.", Natalia shyly mumbled. I went over to her and I grabbed her hand. "Don't worry. Maybe I have a dress that can fit you. Come on!", I said, as I dragged her to my room.

~A few minutes later~

Natalia's POV

"You have so many pretty dresses.", I said, looking at all the dresses. Different colors and different styles. "Thank you.", Delilah smiled. She picked out a beautiful dark purple dress(see picture above) which simply took my breath away. "Papa would never let me wear this back in Russia.", I mumbled, taking the dress from Delilah's grasp. "I think this would look good on you. Brings out your eyes.", Delilah said, smiling warmly. To be honest, I've never had so much in my life being just so...happy. I mean, of course, I had Papa and Sila, but I yearned for something more than just the cold life back in Russia, I thought as I slipped on the purple dress and looked at myself in the mirror. The fabric seemed to have known my body, for it hugged my curves and edges perfectly. I looked undeniably beautiful. As I turned around, Delilah was all dressed up in a mermaid-like dark red dress, with a few fabrics of lace and designs of diamonds putting the finishing touches of making her dress the definition of elegance and beauty (see picture above). "You think Evan will like this?", Delilah asked, putting simple black heels. "Of course. After all, you possess more beauty than me.", I said, smiling sadly. Delilah gave me a sad look before she came over to me and took my hands in hers. "Natalia, you are beautiful. Besides, Takeda will love you, exactly as you are.", Delilah smiled, before letting go of my hands. She went over to her dresser, where a small wooden jewelry box was at. She opened the lid and took out what seemed to me like the most beautiful necklace that I have ever seen in my entire life. "This necklace is special to me, Natalia. It's the only thing I have left of my mother. The mother I never knew.", Delilah sadly said, admiring the diamonds and the carvings of the necklace. Then, Delilah did the unthinkable. She went behind me and placed the necklace around my neck. After that, Delilah turned me around to face the mirror. "See. You are beautiful.", Delilah said. I couldn't help but smile at my appearance. If Papa saw me in a dress and wearing expensive jewelry, he would be angry, even if he wasn't intoxicated enough. Papa just didn't want me to be noticed, in fear that boys back in the Motherland would take me away, if that happened, Papa would surely hunt them down. Just like how me and Papa murdered the sluts that were his wives. I felt Delilah pull on my arm, as I kept staring at this stranger in the mirror. I was no longer that assassin from Russia. I was now a pretty Russian who is going to experience what it's like to be noticed by a man, who I have deep feelings for. "Come on. We can't keep the boys waiting.", Deliah said. As we went down the stairs, the boys were dressed up in their own clothing that they brought. Evan in a black suit with a black tie and Takeda looking handsome in a black suit with a red tie. Takeda and Evan's eyes widened and their jaws dropped at the sight of me and Delilah. As Delilah and Evan embraced each other, Takeda came up to me and took me in his arms, as he planted a passionate kiss on my lips. I jumped at his surprise kiss, but I was soon melted into his kiss, as I wrapped my arms around his neck, savoring this special moment. A while later, he pulled away and whispered in my ear. "You are breathtaking, my cherry blossom. Absolutely beautiful.", as he gently kissed me again. Being loved seems....simply amazing.
