=Time skip to picking up Alfred bc y'all deserve it after all this waitin'. Sorry!=
I quickly hopped in the car, my necklace tucked under a plain white shirt. I set down the bouquet in the passenger seat, fidgeting with my chestnut brown scarf, matching the hoodie I put on. I quickly turned the car on, masterfully getting out of the parking space and onto the street to head towards the airport. I had already fed the cats and cleaned up, making sure it was nice for the new visitor. My phone buzzed, so once I stopped at a red light I pulled it out of my jeans pocket. It was just an extra alarm I set just in case I was going to slow with getting ready. I tossed my phone aside lightly as my black converse came in contact with the gas pedal as I merged onto the highway.
The airport was a mere twenty minuted away, but since London is such a busy place it would take forty five with traffic. I played music, Lovely by 21 Pilots blaring through the radio to cover my anxiety and insecurities about what was soon to come. I swayed a bit with the music, mouthing the words and tapping my fingers on the wheel. As I sat here in the useless blob of traffic, a million different scenes played out.
"What if he hates me? What if I mess up on something? What if I suddenly get stopped by security for MURDER? Wait, I'm not even a murderer, why would that happen? I don't know, you act pretty suspicious."
As the traffic slowly got me to my destination I took a few deep breaths. I was almost ready, but you can never tell what could happen. I was shaking slightly, but not too bad. Okay, just bring your phone so you don't accidentally invoke a conversation with strangers. I parked and exited the car, leaving the flowers in the car so I didn't get any unwanted attention. I slowly crept into the building. I could've sworn my necklace felt a bit warmer, but it's probably my imagination and the large amount of people in one place.
I squeezed my way towards the escalator so I could go to pick Alfred up. Okay, not this is getting creepy. It's actually pretty warm now. Don't get your hopes up, Arthur. It's stuffy and hot in here, no matter how much air conditioning is making it freezing.
My step had gotten a little faster, my hair hitting my forehead repeatedly with each step. I was just heading towards the gate I had to be at, no distractions allowed. I pulled my constantly heating necklace out of my shirt, putting a barrier between its trickery and my skin. It was fine for a bit, but one I got to the entrance of the gate I was supposed to be at I could feel its burning temperature through my shirt. I ignored it and walked slowly towards a familiar face, blue eyes staring up at me with shock. I turned my eyes down towards my feet, shuffling a bit.
"So...", I said, quietly. I could feel his bright blue eyes burning into my skin, almost the same as the necklace. I moved it into my hands a bit, not leaving it in the same place for too long as it made small red marks on my skin for a few seconds. He moved a bit closer, placing a hand on his own necklace and the other over my own hand and necklace. I blushed and looked down at our hands before looking back up at him, clearing my throat.
"So... uh... Alfred... should we go down to my car?", I struggled not to stutter or seem incompetent, but failing ultimately. Everything seemed fake for moments to come, no matter how noisy the building was all I could hear was our breathing.
Alfred's face went from shock to joy, "Sure, sounds great!"
He placed a light kiss on my cheek and started to pull me out of the building. I just watched the back of his head, still in shock. I do hope this isn't a dream. I walked alongside him quietly with a small smile on my face, making my way to the car. It was a bit awkward, but that was to be expected of anything including me. I spotted my car and unlocked it, looking back up at Alfred's smiling face.
I can be okay with this.
