Eden's POV
After a very quick breakfast I drove to the hotel John left his suitcase in the day before, in my Ford Cortina. The car really was a pile of shit but that was something my parents didn't help me pay for.
I pulled up at the pelican hotel gesturing for John to leave the car, but before he did, our eyes met and we were caught in a gaze. His eyes were a stunning hazel-green, and they were small but delicate and deep, it was hard not to lean in and kiss him right there and then. So I didn't resist.
John's POV
Gosh, what a gorgeous woman she was. Her striking blue eyes caught my attention as if they called for me to wait before I stepped out the car. I was spellbound, tempted by her eyes to lean in. But this time she didn't hesitate. The kiss was gentle and only lasted seconds but only those who had the same feeling I had for her could understand how every second counted.
As she pulled away smiling, she began to speak, "How long do you reckon you need?"
"Probably just half an hour but don't rush if you're not ready....not saying you don't look nice now, I uh.. You.." I quickly panicked. Luckily though, instead of getting an insulted look from her, she giggled. Her eyes squinted when she laughed or smiled, I found it adorable, her dimples complimented that. Meaning that when she smiled, she looked absolutely perfect.
The feelings that I rapidly developed for her weren't anything I had ever experienced. I didn't really notice girls through my whole life until I saw Eden last night. Her body language, her speech, her style was intoxicating. I just knew so much about her already, it seemed like everything came natural to us and there wasn't any awkwardness.
I was thrilled when she asked me to spend the day with her but also very nervous. I wasn't sure if I would be able to hide my attraction to her since she was simply beautiful and it would be embarrassing for her for someone of my persona to admit to fancying her, but I just hoped she wasn't that kind of girl, the girls that let me down my whole life.
All these feelings took over my body unhealthily fast. I needed to slow down and get to know her first and today would be perfect to do so.
Eden's POV
The kiss was perfect. He was gentle almost hesitant at first to deepen the kiss but after a second or two he loosened up.
My drive back home was full of many giggles to myself and uncontrollable smiles.
When I reached home I hoped in the shower and washed my hair and body. While I waited for my hair to dry I picked out an outfit from my wardrobe, I tried on many items of clothing but they were either too casual or too outgoing. Last night I wore very causal straight leg trousers and a plain vest and jacket so I wanted to make an effort today. I eventually settled for a dungarees that cut off at the top of my thighs and a pink flared blouse underneath, frilly socks that reached the bottom of my shin. As for my makeup, I went for a subtle coat of mascara and blusher. I avoided lipstick in case another event like this morning in the car happened.
My hair was basically dry within 20 minutes of me showering and being left in the towel; I was thankful for my short blonde length hair when it came to washing it. It dried wavy and I didn't wan't to waste time straightening it. Overall, my final look was fairly casual but I still felt confident it would be perfect for today. I couldn't wait to see John although I did take about 40 minutes to get ready so I hoped he was ready for me to pick him up.
I got into my car and drove to the same address, contemplating what to do if he wasn't outside or in the reception. Turned out I wasted overthinking, because as I got closer and closer to the building I saw him sat on the bench outside looking absolutely gorgeous. He was dressed in a white polo, Blue washed jeans and a bomber jacket, luckily I wasn't too over or under dressed, our outfits complimented each other perfectly.
I parked the car next to him and got out to go and say hi,
"You look lovely, I like this" he said tugging at the sleeve of my blouse
"You look good yourself, thank you" I smiled
"What have we got planned today, then"
"Well since its only just gone half 11, we've got a few hours to kill so I thought we could park the car off and grab some lunch and go for a walk around town and you can visit any shops or anything" I said hoping he'd be okay with that
"That sounds perfect, thank you for driving by the way, my cars back at my flat so I've been relying on the bands van"
I nodded then chuckled and signaled him to hop into the car.
