CHAPTER 11- THE DATE
FLORA'S P.O.V
Today was Saturday. Not just any Saturday, it was the day that I have my date with Noah. Noah had signed to me that he was going to pick me up at 7:30pm but haven’t told me where we were going even though I had come close to begging because of my curiosity.
I had woken up at 12pm, had breakfast and now I was sitting on the couch in the living room, watching TV at 3 in the afternoon. I still had 2 hours to spare before going upstairs to have a shower and get dressed for my date. Every time I thought about the date, my lips instantly formed itself into a grin. My mum had a shift now at the hospital or else she would have not stopped teasing me because I kept on blushing.
~~~~2 hours later~~~~
I felt a finger prodding my shoulder and I swatted it away, who and why were they interrupting my sleep. Then I heard my mums voice, “Honey? Wake up, you’re not going to be ready for your date!” My date? What date? Wait.. Noah! I instantly opened my eyes and flew off the couch and ran up the stairs. The date! How could I have fallen asleep? I checked my phone and saw that it was 6:30pm. I quickly got into the shower and when I got out I saw my mum in my room laying a black and white dress on the bed. “How is it? Do you like it?”
Yes, I would love to wear that mum, thank you. I go up to her to kiss her cheek.
“Well, hurry then! You have half an hour left.” She walks out of my room and closes the door on the way and I quickly get dressed. I put on black eyeliner, mascara, light pink lipstick and let my wavy hair down. I got my red clutch and walked down the stairs to the shoe rack that’s next to the door and put on my little black heeled high heels just as the doorbell rang. My mum came running next to me out of the living room and looked me up and down and got had tears in her eyes.
Seriously mum! Are you really crying?
“What? It’s your first real date!”
Oh mum! I hugged her but had to pull away quickly because the bell rang again and I opened it, seeing Noah in black jeans, white t-shirt and a black blazer. Oh God. And he had the front of his shoulder-length hair slightly brushed to the back.
He looked me up and down, and the way he did made me shiver slightly and I look down, not meeting his gaze.
Hey. I signed after looking up at his grass like eyes.
Hi. He replied back. You look stunning.
Thank you. I blushed looking down and he only grinned back in response.
Hello Beth. He nodded at my mum and smiled. My mum smiled too and to the fact that he remembered to call her Beth instead of Mrs. Picket.
Hi Honey, look after my daughter okay? She signed at him.
Don’t worry Beth; she’s in good hands. He replied to my mum but looking at me while saying the last part.
He extended his hands towards me and I grabbed it and waved at my mum while he led the way to the car. He opened the car door for me and I sat and he closed the door, he walked over to his side and sat down him self in the drivers seat and our date began.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
We had arrived at our destination fifteen minutes later to a restaurant that was not too fancy, just perfect. We got out and headed inside finding our selves a seat at the corner of the restaurant next to the window. The moment we sat, a waiter came and gave us menus while looking at me longer than necessary which made me uncomfortable but I shrugged it off as he walked away from our table. I looked up at Noah seeing him give the guy a glare.
What’s wrong? I asked when he looked at me.
Nothing. He replied and looked back down at his menu. I gave him a confused look then looked at my menu too. The same waiter came a couple of minutes later and asked us our order.
“What would you like?” He asked and I pointed at the name of the dish I wanted on the menu and showed the waiter. He gave me a confused look but that look went away when I pointed at my mouth and made a cross with my finger trying to tell him that I couldn’t talk. He nodded in understanding and asked what would Noah want and Noah pointed to what he wanted as well.
“Are you mute too?” He asked Noah but I interrupted and pointed to Noah, to my ears and made a cross with my fingers telling him that Noah was deaf. “Okay then, your order would be ready in a bit sweetie.” My eyes widened. What did he call me? Noah gave him a furious look to his back and turned to me.
What did he say? I know he said something inappropriate because I’m deaf. He looked about ready to jump out of his seat and beat the guy to a pulp but I held on to his arm and gave him a stern look.
No. I’m on a date with you and I want it to go smoothly without anyone causing trouble okay? He reluctantly agreed and relaxed in his seat.
You know what? I asked him, not knowing where this courage was coming from.
What? He asked.
You look so cute when you’re jealous. And this time it was his turn to blush and not I for once.
