Craving Forgiveness

" I would love to go on a date with you." You
smiled at him as he let out a sigh of relief.

"Oh my gosh I was so nervous."

"Don't be."

"I thought I was moving too fast I mean we only met a few hours ago."

You shrugged," Carpe Diem."

"I'm glad you think that way."

"So, where are we going."

"Oh no," he said standing up,"that's a surprise. See you in an hour." and with that he walked away.

You smiled widely and sighed with happiness. Let's be honest here, Alex was gorgeous.

Like, really gorgeous.

You practically skipped up the stairs to get ready.

You took a shower and got dressed.

You decided to go with a fitting red dress that stopped right below your knees. It was an off the shoulder dress that you paired with black heels and a black bag.

You did your hair and lightly applied makeup.

"I'm gonna knock his socks off." You said in the mirror as you smiled at how good you looked.

There was a knock at the door.

"Come in," you shouted still ogling at yourself.
"Atarah I came to apolog-"

You turned to see Erik with his mouth slightly agape.

"Where are you going?" He questioned.

"If you must know Mr. Lensherr, I am going on a date with Alex."

His jaw clenched, "Alex?" He asked through his teeth.

"Yes Alex, blond, handsome, sweet, actually wants to be with me."

"Good. He can have you." He slammed the door behind him.

You rolled your eyes and grabbed your bag before going to meet Alex down stairs.

He stopped talking as soon as your heels hit the stairs he was in slacks and a nice button down shirt.

Charles, Alex and Hank incredulously looked up at you as Erik stood against the wall with a pouty sour look.

"Good lord." Alex exclaimed as you reached the last step. He took your hand and kissed the back of it before he let it go, "You're breathtaking."

"I agree." Charles chimed in.

"Oh yeah so do I." Hank added.

They paused and looked to Erik for his input but instead he just rolled his eyes and walked off.

"So are you ready to go?" Alex asked.

You turned your attention back to him and smiled," Absolutely."

"Don't be out too late you two." Charles winked at you.

Alex opened the front door to reveal a nice black car.

"Wow." You said.
