Gaining Colors [Complete]

Chapter 10

Alexis watched confused as Casper started to pace around the living room non stop. She could see that he was worried about something.

"What's the problem, Casper? Is something bothering you?" She asked, starting to walk to him.

Casper looked at her and sighed.

"I cannot find an available church to take you to our date," He whispered.

"A church?" Alexis was confused. Why would he need a church?

"Yes. I saw on Internet one list of the best day of a woman's life. One of those were in a church." He explained to her.

"Can you show me the list?" She asked, walking to her laptop that was laying on the kitchen table.

Casper opened the device and showed Alexis the list. On top was the birth of a child, followed by the day of marriage.

"I don't know what should I do to give you the first best day of a woman's life, so I opted for the second one. Apparently is not as simple as a phone call," Casper muttered.

Alexis couldn't stop herself from laughing, making Casper blush and advert his eyes from her.

"Casper, you are really sweet. Apparently I need to explain to you some important things."

"Like what?" He asked, his head spinning with questions.

"Well.. This days that the women list are really important, that is true, but before they have those days, simple dates come. So dates are the basic steps for a relation and those are simple, like going to the cinema or to a bar or to take a coffee. Those are meant to get to know the person, to see some affinity between two people," Alexis turned to Casper to see if he had understand all that she had said. His face was neutral, not giving anything away.

"But I already know you," was his only comment to her brilliant explanation.

"Well yes but you don't know everything about me as I don't know everything about you. Now, let's go out. We can do some sightseeing and then we can go to the cinema. What do you think?" Alexis asked him.

Casper smiled. "Seems a great idea."

In less than an hour, Casper and Alexis were outside the house, walking through London and enjoying the day. They passed the Big Ben, the London Eye, the Tower Bridge and in the end of the day, they took a walk in the Hyde Park. It was an amazing first date for both of them.

Alexis explained everything that she knew about the city that he was now calling home. They arrived home completely exhausted, landing on the sofa and too lazy to cook.

"Let's order some food..." Alexis said to Casper.

"Can we do that?" He asked, siting up.

"Oh yes and I think I will ask for pizza!!" Alexis exclaimed, eager to show another new thing to Casper. She grabbed her phone and made the order.

While they waited for the food to arrive, Casper locked eyes with Alexis, a satisfied smile on his lips.

"So... Did you like the date?" He asked. He knew she had liked. One thing he had learn on Internet was that when people smiled, they were happy. He wished to never see the liquid that could fall from Alexis eyes. According to Google, that was a bad signal.

"I loved it, actually." She promptly answered, her smile getting bigger.
"Hey...Since tomorrow is Sunday, we could go to the Science Museum. Would you like to go?" Alexis asked.

Casper could only nod his head. He had made it. He had given Alexis a great day and the fact that she wanted to go out with him the following day was a proof of it. Pride filled his chest.
