The Date

Isabella Gonzalez

We reached his car which was standing in my driveway. His driver was already present there, and when he noticed us nearing the vehicle, he ignited it and waited for us to take our seats. Marcello opened one side of the car door and sat inside, while I was waiting outside.

I thought he would open the door for me, the way they show in cinema, but he didn't. I was so embarrassed standing there and tears started to cloud my eyes. One good thing was that, since he was adjusting his shirt, he didn't shut the door on my face.

Before the tears could leave my eyes and I embarrass myself more, I took a step back to go and sit on the other side.

The next moment I felt myself being pulled into the car and I landed on Marcello's lap. He looked at me with a smile, but when he noticed my tear filled eyes, his pretty smile vanished. He brought his large and long fingers towards my cheek and caressed it carefully.

"What is the matter bambina?." he asked. I slowly looked into his eyes and answered truthfully.

"I thought you ignored me and didn't want to open the door for me like it's shown in movies." After I finished telling... I mean complaining, he positioned me properly on his lap and kissed my head.

"Baby girl, how would I do something that cruel to you? You are my precious little girl. Da... I won't treat you meanly. Sí?." he said dotingly.

This brought the lost smile on my face back. "Sí!" I said happily to his question. I then snuggled closer to him. He muttered something inaudible under his breath but, I continued snuggling even more until I found a comfortable spot on his lap and in between his shoulders. I didn't even care that I was sitting on his wallet which was right under my bottom.

[Creepy Author: Wallet huh?]

Finally, we reached the shopping street and Marcello was so sweet that he got me a Vanilla Frappuccino from Starbucks. But, he got himself Americano with extra shot of espresso. It looks very dark and I can't even imagine it's bitter taste.

We bought a very cute Black and White Romper for me. This is my new favorite clothing. Sorry older ones.

After shopping, while we were walking down the streets, we spoke so much. So so much. We nearly discussed about all our favorite things and things we dislike etc. It was fun.

I then saw a girl who had a piercing in her belly button. I always wanted one like that.

"Marcello! Marcello, can I please get a piercing done on my belly button?" I asked him and gave him the best puppy eyes that I could make on spot.

"Yes baby you can always have one. You would look very pretty with one. But, it's gonna be very painful." he said. It being painful got me scared but I still agreed and convinced him to get me one.

We went to the store and Marcello got me a diamond piercing. The process took a whole twenty minutes because of a lot of crying and pushing. It was really very very painful. Marcello was waiting outside for me and we agreed that he would not get to see it until after marriage. After I got pierced, we had a very heavy dinner in a fancy Italian restaurant.

After dinner, Marcello dropped me home and helped me with my bags, by bringing them inside, because his warm body in which I was snuggling made me sleepy. After I was settled, he kissed me good night on my head and left my home.
