The Corpse of South Tserron

Chapter 4: I'm on a date? Part 1

 I pulled away from the hug and saw a smile that I didn't think I would see. She was too fixated on Ace that she didn't value herself anymore and I want to change that. After a tearful reunion, I said

"Go to my sister's room, She might have clothes that fit you. I'm going to buy groceries, Do you want to come with? "

I could see the excitement fill her eyes as she tried to keep a solemn face. Her cheeks turned red as she calmly said

"I would love to"

She walked towards the pink room as I went upstairs to prepare myself, while in the shower, I let out the most satisfying scream I can muster. I was ashamed of myself but at the same time, I finally got a date with Evelyn. I suddenly became more conscious of myself so after bathing, I pulled out my phone and searched "summer fashion". I'm not to keen on the fashion trends but I need to look presentable, I can't go on a date with Evelyn in a tank top and jogging pants. After browsing through countless images, I settled on a look consisting of a blue flannel, jeans, and a plain white shirt with matching white shoes.

I shaved my mustache, fixed my hair, and sprayed on cologne. I wouldn't put this much emphasis on myself if it was a regular day but I have to show Evelyn how much I value her company. I was still debating whether or not I should wear a hat when I suddenly heard her voice in a shy manner

"I hope he likes how I look."

Did I just hear her thoughts again? I guess I have to get used to it, she didn't mention how it happens. After I was all set, I opened the door and went downstairs to a waiting Evelyn. Her jaw dropped when she saw me and I could see how impressed she was by the way I dressed. She walked towards me and held my arm as she folded the arms of my flannel to elbow height. She then teasingly remarked

"You're one step away from perfection"

I could feel the blood rushing through my cheeks as the words came out of her mouth. My heart is pounding out of my chest as I try to calm myself down. An alluring scent of strawberries waft towards me as she folded the left arm. I was awestruck at how she prepared for this moment. After folding the arms of my flannel, she took a step back and said

"So, How do I look?"

She then twirled around before placing her hands behind her back. I could tell how nervous she was with the way she hid her hands, she tried to mask it behind a smile but even then, I can see right through her. She didn't need to be nervous because everything about her look is so amazing. She made the best of what my sister had and she made simple look sexy. Her silky black hair flowed down to her waist with elegance, Her white shirt perfectly highlights her hourglass figure as the fabric hugs her skin, her ripped jean shorts cuts above the knees revealing her smooth legs matched with foot socks and white shoes. I paused for a moment to take in her beauty before blushing madly, I was tongue-tied and afraid to speak because of the possibility of stuttering. I was so taken back by her beauty that I was out of words, I quickly diffused the situation by saying in a calm tone

"We need to go to the store"

I tried to face away from her as I quickly made my way to the garage, this should buy me enough time to calm down. She wasn't satisfied when I ignored her question but the look on my face gave her the impression that I love her look. She followed me to the garage to which her jaw dropped when she saw my beach bronco. Curiously, she asked

"When did you get such a fancy car?"

I responded in an enthusiastic manner

"I've been saving up to buy this beach buggy ever since I was a freshman in high school. It is a green customized Ford Bronco, a 2 seater pick up truck that can accommodate 4 people, 2 in the front seat, and 2 in the bed."

I could see the bright green paint reflect off her eyes as she excitedly entered the passenger side. Before I could start the car, she looked at me and smiled waiting for an answer as the garage door opened. I tried to ignore her since I could still feel the blood in my cheeks but she poked me to which, I turned to face her. She had such a cute face and a warm smile as her cheek rested on her right hand, she then spoke in a curious tone

"So, how do I look?"

I had no choice but to answer at this point, I gave a short chuckle before responding with a sincere tone

"I'm sorry Eve, but you've rendered me speechless with how beautiful you look and if I were to use words, it would be a disservice to you"

I could feel the delight her body exudes as her smile widened, the way she looked towards the window as we drove off was a sign of how much she's trying to hide her comments but even though she kept quiet, I heard her voice again

"He's a different person from high school, I love how much he changed"

I don't know if it's a power she gained while her body transmuted but it's heartwarming the way she tried to hide her affection towards me but inevitably fail due to her ability. Calmly, I spoke

"You know I can still hear your thoughts right?"

She quickly turned around as her face was riddled with emotions, it was a mix of surprise, embarrassment, joy, and love. It's hard to describe what kind of face she made, but in my own words, she was cute. Seeing how defeated she was, she let out a laugh and said in a cheerful manner

"Well, it's one of the benefits that come with reincarnation"

She then looked at me with her cheek resting on her right hand as she demonstrated her power

"To make it clear, you can only hear my thoughts if I allow you to. It's one-sided if you think about it since you can hear my thoughts but I can't hear yours. I didn't know you can still hear mine. You must be very special to maintain this bond"

It makes sense once she explained her abilities, I just wonder at times if she can manipulate dreams as well. She's been looming in my dreams ever since I went to this island, perhaps it is just my desire to take her on a date to a place she's always been dreaming of. After the long drive, we made it to the mall. I couldn't find a shady spot so I offered to drop her in front of the mall to which, she refused. So I drove off to find a shady tree that was far away from the mall. After we parked, I took the umbrella from the bed and proceeded to offer a shade as we walked to the mall.
