16. princess, your carriage is waiting

On Saturday morning Eddie was preparing for his first date in his life. He was really looking forward to it; he couldn't wait to finally be alone with Richie again.

Eddie had told his mother before he started getting ready that he was going out with Bill. She hasn't been thrilled because Eddie has been going out and spending time outside more often, but she knew she wouldn't be able to keep Eddie home anyway, so she hadn't argue with him about it.

When Eddie went to get ready, he started by thinking about what he should wear. At first, he wanted to wear Richie's jacket again, but he changed his mind, and decided to wear his own clothes in the end, even though Richie had told him before that he liked it when Eddie was wearing his jacket.

Eddie decided to put on plain light blue jeans, a white sweatshirt and a blue-and-white windbreaker. It was a simple outfit, but Eddie felt good and comfortable in it. He had no idea where he was going with Richie or what they were going to do, so he really just wanted to feel comfortable.

A few minutes before four o'clock in the afternoon, he took everything he thought he needed, said goodbye to his mother without telling her when he would be back, and left for the place where Richie was supposed to pick him up. He was nervous, but also really excited. He just hoped everything would go well.

When Eddie got to the place where Richie had asked him out and where Richie had agreed on picking Eddie up, he sat down on the bench. Eddie didn't know what time it was, but after a while, a black car Eddie recognized in matter of seconds stopped right in front of him.

Richie opened the door of the car from the driver's seat where he was sitting, and got out, the engine was still running, but before Eddie could do or say anything, Richie opened the door on the other side for him.

''Hello, princess, your carriage is waiting.'' Eddie started blushing at the fact that Richie had called him 'princess', but he tried to mask his pink cheeks with a frown, even though he actually liked the way Richie had called him that time. Then Eddie greeted Richie, and got in the car. Richie closed the door behind him, and went to sit down on the driver's seat again.

Richie looked amazing in Eddie's opinion. He was wearing black skinny jeans, black shirt with a picture of a band he didn't recognized, brown-black Hawaiian shirt, and brown jacket. He had bandana in his hair.

Richie was also wearing eyeliner, not as much as before when he was supposed to look like Robert Smith, but it was still noticeable. Eddie couldn't stop looking at him because he really thought that Richie had never looked better before.

When the two boys were seated in the car, Richie hasn't driven off yet; instead he was staring and smiling at Eddie. ''You look amazing,'' Richie just casually said, and smirked at Eddie, and then he finally started driving away not waiting for Eddie's response.

''Thank you, you look great, too,'' Eddie said genuinely, and smiled back at him, ''Where are we going?'' Eddie asked few seconds later when they were already on their way to the place Eddie knew nothing about.

''It's a secret, you will see.'' Richie smirked again, but he didn't look at Eddie this time because he was looking at the road and was paying attention to what was going on in front of him, so Eddie didn't want to disturb him, however, they exchanged a few words along the way anyway.

Richie has been driving south for about ten minutes, and then he drove off the main road onto a forest path near the Barrens. After a while, Richie stopped, and parked the car on the side of the path in the forest.

Eddie was still wondering where was Richie taking him, but before getting out of the car he had admitted to Richie that he has never really been to that place before.
