Chapter 21

As I sit on the couch by myself waiting for Felix to get ready, I watch Maya and Edgar play outside. It's funny because I never thought they actually went outside due to them being so small and precious. To occupy more time, I start twiddling my thumbs.

When Felix insisted that we'd be going out on a date, I couldn't say that I was exactly ready or presentable. But I found the dress I had bought at Zara and quickly slipped into it. Marzia gave me a small makeover- face wise - and then left for her friend's house. I have been waiting on the couch ever since.

The dogs run out of my vision, going around the other side of the backyard. I sit alone. Not that I wasn't before but I liked to have thought that I was within company of the two pugs.

A footstep stopping suddenly at the door of the lounge room announces Felix's arrival. I look up and in the process, stand, and walk over to him. I smile as he kisses me on the forehead whilst bringing me into a hug.

"You look beautiful." He whispers into my ear. I pull away from the embrace, still being held in his arms.

"Yeah only because your sister put makeup on me." I roll my eyes, challenging him to try and argue against me. Felix raises an eyebrow.

"Clem, you're always beautiful. With or without my sister's help. You were beautiful when I met you, when we went out on our first date and you're still beautiful now." Felix says, smiling.

Yup, okay he's won the argument.

"I love you, you big cheesy Pewds." I say, pecking him on the nose and then walking out of the lounge and waiting for him by the front door. I turn around so that I can see him walking toward me.

"What can I say, I'm a ladies' man." He says in a low voice, wiggling his brow.

"Pfft, yeah sure whatever Feefee." I laugh, opening the door and walking out to Felix's car. Once he unlocks it, I immediately open the passenger side and hop in. A few seconds after, Felix steps in as well.

He lets out a sigh, "ready?" He asks, looking over at me. I grin and nod.

"Ready."

Felix pulls into a small parking lot beside what must be the restaurant were going to have dinner in, despite it still being the early afternoon. I suppose he plans to do something afterwards.

"Well we're here." Felix informs, pointing out the obvious. I grin to myself whilst I undo my seatbelt, opening the car door as I do, getting a strong scent of ocean air.

It's funny, on the drive here we did talk, but nothing about why I was gone or the photo. It's either that he has no idea about the picture - which I highly doubt taking into consideration how much time he spends on the Internet and the amount of attention the actual thing got itself - or he doesn't really want to bring it up in order to keep tonight calm and fight free. But to tell the truth, I would like an honest answer from him even though I believe every word that Cry said to me wholeheartedly. I just want to talk. But not now.

Taking my hand, Felix guides me to the front of the restaurant which turns out to be a hotel. A really fancy looking, expensive hotel. I turn to Felix in awe and in question, but he just looks down at me and smiles. My eyes catch a glimpse of the ocean behind us as we walk through the front door. We both travel along marble flooring inside the hotel towards the actual restaurant nestled in the middle of the open lobby space.

'The Restaurant at Drakes', I read from the bold silver letters written atop the entrance. I get all giddy and excited at all this elegance and jump up and down next to Felix. He shakes his head with a laugh and bends down to whisper in my ear.
