Chapter 9: first date

Emily's POV

I was up in my room getting ready for tonight. I never thought going on a date with your best friend/crush would be so hard. I mean we don't have anywhere to go but here. We didn't really pack nice things, but I guess that can be dealt with secretly. Lindsey and Sierra helped me with my hair and makeup then left me to pick out my outfit. And if i knew that it was going to be this hard, I would of made them stay here and help me.

I finally decided on a sequinned cocktail dress with a belt around the waist, sparkly flats, and my pink clutch. I don't know why i brought this. I guess i thought I might need an outfit for the fake role play parts we had for a while. I tweaked my hair and makeup one last time in the mirror before i left my room. Then i took a breath and walked down the stairs. Owen was waiting for me in the closest thing to a tux there is.

"follow me this way to your table Miss. Edwards."

"miss. Edwards.. Really Owen. Why don't you just call me Emily like you have for the past several years I've known you?"

"Because I want to be all fancy like Em, and Louis said to try and be fancy. So be quiet and just go along with it."

Wow. Did Louis really tell him to be 'fancy like' for our date. I'll tell you what, that boys is special.

Owen led me out to the gazebo where there was a table set up. Louis was sitting there waiting for me.

"you look amazing Emily."

"why thank you Louis. You look good to if I say so myself."

I sat down in the seat across from him. Owen came back from the house with two glasses of water.

"your main coarse will be arriving soon." Owen said then walking off.

"Louis this is amazing. But you didn't have to do all this for a first date."

"I know. But I wanted to make this like it would be if we could go to a real restraunt. but since we can't I improvised."

"your so odd."

"I know. So you like it?"

"it's certainly something. But yes Lou, it amazing, i love it. But you really didn't have to do all this. I would of been just as happy with a picnic or something."

"well I'm glad you like it."

"here is your main corse. Spaghetti with a side of garlic toast and mashed potatoes." Sierra said as she set down our food in front of us.

"so who's the chef Louis?"

"Lindsey and Harry are the cooks. Sierra and Owen are the waiters. And the rest of the guys are well.. I don't know. Helping out with dishes and stuff inside I guess."

I took a bite of the spaghetti. It was really good.

"wow. I guess Harry and Lindsey make a pretty good cooking team."

"yeah, they are. You know I think they would be a good couple."

"really. I think so to. That's going to be my newest mission. I'm going to set them up, and you better not tell them."

"I promise I won't. Actually I want to help you. I mean Harry really needs a girlfriend and Lindsey seems nice. And who knows I think he might like her some."

"tonight, you can ask Harry what he thinks of Lindsey. And I'll ask her. We can go from there tomorrow or something. But for right now, let's eat I'm really hungry."
