Until Eternity BxB

chapter 15

A/N ; bit of a trigger warning here, mention of panic and anxiety, I do give a warning where it starts so it's okay to read the chapter if you are uncomfortable around the topic, Enjoy! :)

I hope that this giddy feeling never leaves my chest and I hope that I never get used to it! Maddox asked me out on a date! I was too happy, I was happier then I had ever been in my life. That night I had a relaxing bath and snuggled up on my sofa again, which wasn't too different tow hat I would normally do but it felt different, I was appreciating everything a lot more.

My mind was grateful as I held the hot liquid in my slightly too big mug, I was grateful for the fuzzy blanket that was around my shoulders. I was grateful for the fire that I could feel warming me. I was grateful for the silence and the occasional sound of animals doing whatever they do. When I put the television on I was grateful for the entertainment and the distraction. I ,hadn't touched that book in a while.

Yes that book 'loves battles# I haven't read it in a while, just about since before Maddox and I's first date. That may not seem like a long time for you but I think that I have made it very clear that I read a lot. As I say since things have started to go well with Maddox I've not been feeling the need to escape from reality through the magical realm of books.

The next morning I had woken up with a cheesy cliché smile I hopped out of bed and decided to check my phone in case I had any messages, it was somewhat surprising when I actually saw that I did have a message .

Good morning chester! I hope that you slept well, I'm picking today's plans so I would suggest wearing something comfier then normal and some shoes that yo can walk in....as I can't drive....obviously....Sending happiness! -M

His little joke made me laugh and the signing off made me smile, I had a look in my closet and saw very little casual clothes s but I suppose jeans and a button up flannel would work? I hope, I put my hair into a bun at the back of my head to make it look like I had my life put together. I slipped on some doc.Martisn before I headed out.

I walked to Maddox's house which was a nice stroll, it didn't take that long and it seemed like it was going to be a nice day out. Maddox didn't tell me a specific time so I was just taking it as twelve like last time. It was very similar to our last date, I knocked on the door and Maddox immediately answered, except this time he looked me up and down. It sounds odd but it is the first time that he is not seeing me in a plain button up with my suspender braces and tie. I thought that this was somewhat ironic, usually people wear casual things and then their date reacts like this when they wear something smart. I enjoy how different this is.

Maddox smiled at me brightly and grabbed my hand. "so where are we going for our second date?" I asked teasingly to which he replied with "it's a surprise!" this surprise happened to be a trip to the movies. Of course I had been there before but it had been years. I was looking around trying to be low key but of course Maddox noticed "have you ever been to the cinema before chester?" I must have been acting really strange . I cleared my throat and pretended to be embarrassed "well, I havent' been here for years, its much different to what it used to be." Realization seemed to dawn on him and I was scared that I had said something wrong "oh! yeah They remodelled he place I think, I came here with my cousin a few years ago." I made a sound of acknowledgement before we continued to the line.

The film was a childish one but it was worth it when I saw the way Maddox laughed with pure joy . I found it strange how he didn't get anything to eat during the movie but I shrugged it off. Perhaps he had eaten before we left his house. He had some water with him and I had bought myself a bottle also. But that didn't seem to be the case as we arrived at a small diner.
