Will you marry me?

Chapter 9 - The Third Date

Chapter 9

November 10th 2013

After that kiss I went my way and Emma went her way. It was the perfect date, and the thought of that made my heart leap. My first date had been perfect. This added to my confidence and self-esteem when it came to dating.

We went on a second and third date soon after the first one. Both of them were pretty amazing too. On the third date I decided to cook at my place. On the day of the date I got home early and started cooking. I cooked steak for us, with some side dishes like mashed potatoes. Also I hand picked the finest vine that I had at my place. I also set my iPod to play soothing and romantic music. This seems a bit cheesy now doesn't it? Well in my defense I was an amateur when it came to dating. I set the table up with the best dishes that I had and the best tablecloth. I set a flower vase filled with lilies and also a candle in the center. So it was a candle light dinner. Emma came to my place at 8 and she was dressed to impress. She wore a sky blue dress that fit her body perfectly. She looked gorgeous today.

"You look beautiful as always."

"You don't look to shabby yourself Mr. Levine."

"Well, I couldn't come to a date with the most beautiful girl on this planet without dressing appropriately. Right ma lady?"

"Well said Sir. Now you may escort us to your dining room because she we are hungry and want to know what you have made for this special date."

"With pleasure." I chuckled.

I took her to the dining room and when I opened the door she was speechless, I thought I really had out done myself tonight. But it wasn't the candle light dinner, the food I cooked or the music and lights. Rather it was my dining room.

"This is your dining room?"

"Yes, why? Is there something wrong with it? I can change it if you want."

"Huh?" she looked at me in surprise and started laughing.

Now it was my turn to be speechless, I didn't get why she was laughing.

"What's so funny?" I asked innocently.

"The tense expression on your face. C'mon I have been on 2 dates with you, isn't it time to get comfortable."

"Yeah, I guess it kind of is."

"Alright. But, seriously you can see the whole of London from here. And the French windows make the room beautiful."

"I hope my food impresses you this much. And thank you. My dad designed this building. He said that all his work were like works of art, in the biggest Canvas available to him that was London."

"Oh, nice your dad seems like a nice person. Anyway, what have you made for this special date, it better be something good because I am starving."

"Just so you know, I was known as the best cook in my old school. Won a lot of prizes. Those were the days ... Anyway, so I cooked you a steak. And I know you like it medium cooked, I asked Summer."

"Oh nice!"

I loved the way she said 'nice' it was more of a 'noice' with the British accent.

"By the way, I love the music and setting. I think I am getting to know the romantic of you Mr. Levine."

"Even I am getting to know me better. And it only happens when you are around you."

"Aww!"

"Well, lets get started. After you ma lady."

She giggled when I said that and I thought in my mind "Nailed it!" I took the chair out for her and like the gentleman that I am I helped her sit down first and then served her food and sat down. I was nervous in a way because I wanted her to love my cooking. So when she took the first bite, my nervousness just increased.

"This ... this is ... Fantastic. I haven't tasted anything like this before. Oh my god! This steak is done perfectly. You're one of the best cooks Liam."

"I'm happy that you like it."

We ate the rest of the dinner talking about college. One thing that bothered me about college was that I hadn't talked to Summer properly for the last week or so. And I still had to ask her what was bothering her so much.

After we finished dinner, I got desert and we sat on the couch in the hall eating cheesecake.

"This cheesecake is by far the best one that I have ever had."

"Now you're just flattering me."

"No, I am serious. Where did you learn to cook Liam?"

"Well, we used to have chef that I loved spending time with because she was a really nice lady. And also I enjoy cooking so I watched videos on YouTube."

"So Mr. Levine, what movie can we watch right now?"

"Well, it's your wish."

"Lets watch the longest ride."

"Alright."

After the movie ended she looked at me and I looked at her and soon she was on top of me kissing me. The moment was filled with love and lust. The kissing lead to things that ended up in my bedroom. It was my first time and I was happy it was with someone I was going to spend the rest of my life with. 

I got up in the morning with Emma lying on my bear chest and, even though you might think this is cheesy, I wanted to wake up like this everyday.
