The Donut Shop | Robsten (ON HOLD)

Chapter 14: The Past

Third POV
3 years ago....

"Nora? Are you done yet?" Kristen called out to her little sister, her patience slowly going down.

"Almost! Hold your horses!" Nora shouted back, sounding equally annoyed as Kirsten.

"Jeez, it's been an hour! I'm sure Caden wouldn't mind how you look!" Kristen groaned, opening the bathroom door.

She gasped when she saw her sister in a flowing dress, her hair curled, hugging her shoulders. Her makeup was gorgeous, outlining all of her features.

"Girl, you look amazing!" Kristen sung, asking Nora to give her a twirl.

"You really like it? Cause, I feel gorgeous!" Nora laughed, hugging her sister.

"I told you that this dress would fit you perfectly. Look at you, you look like a supermodel!" Kristen pulled away, smiling widely at her twin.

Nora looked over at her phone, checking the time. Only a few more minutes until her date arrives, which gave her butterflies. She met Caden a year ago through one of her sister's friends. They clicked right away, which made them inseparable.

When Caden finally mustered up enough courage to ask Nora on a date was probably one of the best days of the grey eyed girl's life. She jumped up and down, shouting yes over and over again. A small part of her hoped that they could be something more serious after today, and a large part of her knew that it would happen.

"He's gonna be here in five minutes. Do you have everything?" Kristen questioned, looking around the big apartment. She quickly ran to get Nora's coat and purse, coming back with both.

"Thanks sis, I don't know what I'd do without you." Nora thanked, her expression grateful.

"Yeah yeah, just go have fun ok? Tell me all about it when you come home." Kristen held her sister's hands, squeezing them as a form of reassurance.

Nora nodded, giving her sister one more hug. Right when she put in her coat is when the doorbell rang throughout their apartment. Nora's heartbeat picked up, those butterflies coming back.

"Go." Kristen whispered, beckoning her over to the door.

Nora brought her shaky hand up to the doorknob, turning it painfully slowly.

There, at the doorway, was Caden. A blue eyed, red haired man who was Nora's age. A couple of freckles dotted his nose area, a big smile present on his perfectly sculpted face.

A blush slowly crept onto Nora's face when she saw the bouquet of roses in Caden's hands, which were probably for her.

"Hey," His deep and husky voice greeted, "Ready to go?"

Nora shyly smiled, making her way out the door.

Before both of them could leave, Kristen grabbed Caden's shirt tightly, tugging him to face her.

Kristen looked into Caden's eyes with judgement, eyeing him up and down. He was wearing a dress shirt with dress pants. At least he's classy.

"Look," Kristen sternly said, "You're going to take good care of her and bring her back home by eleven tonight, and if you don't....oh boy you don't want to know what will happen. Oh yeah, I'm also pretty good at sword handling."

Caden gulped while Nora blinked with a scared expression on her face. She expected her sister to be protective, but not this protective.

"Ha ha..." Nora chuckled nervously, grabbing Caden's hand, tugging him out of Kristen's grip, "I think we're going to go now. Bye, Kristen."
