First Dates

Chapter 18: Falling for you

Alvin's Point of view

We're inside the restaurant, on top of the table was a chipmunk sized table by the window. We had a bird's eye view of the whole city, and to Brittany's satisfaction 'The Hollywood sign".

At the front part of the restaurant, a random band played slow and romantic songs. This place really was ideal for a date.

Me, Brittany, Simon, and Jeanette sat on one chipmunk table to give privacy to our little couple. At the other end of the human table, Theodore and Eleanor sat on one table about,... pretty much away from us.

Our food just arrived, and so did theirs. We didn't do so much as eating, though, we focused much on how Theo and Ellie are doing.

"How do you think they're doing?" I asked, looking at them. They're just sitting there, eating, looking at each other, not talking.

"Terrible, they're not even sniffing each other." Brittany answered.

I looked at her with a funny expression "That's what I said before, what a coincidence." I said.

"Um,... Britt, I don't think we ever sniff each other." Jeanette spoke up.

"Even so, they're not even talking." Brittany stated.

"So what? It's they're first date, it's okay to get nervous." Simon spoke up.

''Hey, I can't allow Eleanor to be as plain as that." Brittany argued.

"So, what do you suggest?" Jeanette asked.

Brittany smiled. "Eleanor needs a little help from the love doctor." She stood up, adjusted her unzipped jacket, and walked towards their table.

"... And her assistant." I stood up and followed her, but Simon grabbed my wrist and stopped me.

"Get back here." He pulled me back to my seat.

Eleanor's Point of view

Gosh, I'm so nervous. I've never been on a date before, I don't even know what to do! He's just looking at me, I looked back. Darn he has such beautiful eyes, green and it nearly matches mine.

Sweat dripped from my forehead, I gave an awkward smile. I don't know what to do, what am I supposed to do? This isn't like one of those movies.

Suddenly, I felt a tap on my shoulder, I looked behind me, a pink and auburn blur was standing right behind me. I looked up, it's only Brittany.

"What?" I asked.

"I need to talk to you." She turned to Theodore, "Hey, Theo, mind if I talk to Eleanor for a bit while?" She asked permission.

He blinked twice, "Okay,... I guess."

Brittany took me towards the other end of the table for a little 'private talk'.

"Eleanor, what do you think you're doing?"

"I don't know, I'm just nervous. I've never gone on a date before." I answered.

"Ellie, it's alright. Do you really love Theodore?" She asked.

What kind of question what that? Of course I love Theodore, why else would I go out with him? "Yeah, of course I do." I answered.

"Then, you've got to show him!" She said.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"You've got to go in there and give him the magic." She answered.
