(Alright :)
When Pandora finally arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, she couldn't help but smile. She hadn't been on a date with a guy in so long, and now she finally could, and maybe she'd have a chance to get things right this time. Maybe he really would fall in love with her, and things would be okay. She wasn't that bad, was she?
Drake was already standing up out of his seat when he saw Charlotte, smiling as he walked up to greet her, “Hi Charlotte, you look lovely this fine evening,” Drake grinned at her, offering an arm to show her to the table.
Pandora's smile faltered for a moment when she heard her false name, but returned quickly. She still wasn't used to hearing Charlotte. "So do you, Drake," she said, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear as she spoke, heart beating faster.
Drake pulled out a chair for her, smiling all the way, “I’m really glad that we could, uh, well, you know, go out together. I think this will be really fun,” He grinned, tried to pushed that nervousness down and away. She’s just so pretty…
"I'm sure it will be," she said, a giggle bubbling out of her before she could stop it. She covered her mouth and cleared her throat, embarrassed by her own laugh.
“What?” Drake smirked a little bit, his eyes crinkling with slight amusement, “That was really cute…” He grinned, tilting his head slightly as his smile grew with every passing moment.
She shook her head, biting her lip and attempting to hide her blush. "It really wasn't…" she ran a hand through her hair again, looking up at Drake. "Anyway… I was wondering, what's your last name? If we're finally going on a date, I feel like I should at least know that much?"
Drake laughed, “Yeah, you probably should. My last name’s Blike” He told her with a smile, “What was your last name again?” He leaned his arm on the table, propping his chin up.
(lowkey don't want to stop this fluff bc I'm living for it but it's time for me to finally show Pandora's obsessive side lol)
She felt her heart pound as she looked over at Drake. He was just so… cute. And handsome. She almost completely forgot that she had actually been asked a question, lost in his eyes and lips and just his presence overall. "Daae," she answered, looking down at her napkin. "It's a weird name, I know… but I personally kind of like it, since it's also the last name of my favorite fictional character."
(Lol, I love how unaware Drake is xD)
“Really? That’s pretty cool,” Drake smiled even more, if that was possible, as he added, “And Charlotte Daae has a nice ring to it.” He couldn’t be happier, going on a date with Charlotte like this. He just had a feeling -a good feeling- about this relationship
A waiter walked over, a tall man with a short beard, and asked, “What would you two like to drink?”
(Drake nooooo back away from this relationship, don't go with your gut this time)
Her blush grew at his comment, and she took the waiter as an opportunity to calm herself down. "A gladd of red wine, please? Would that be okay?" She turned to look at Drake, asking for his permission.
“Of course, and I’ll have a glass of red wine too,” He smiled, and after the waiter walked away he added, “And don’t worry about money or anything, I’m paying and you can order whatever you want.” Drake smiled reassuringly, but he hoped there wasn’t anything too expensive on the menu.
Pandora's eyes lit up at that. "Really? I can do that?" She asked, looking down at the menu. She didn't necessarily want or need the most expensive things on there, but… if Drake really liked her, he wouldn't mind, right?
“Yeah, totally,” Drake replied with another smile looking over the menu himself. As long as she doesn’t order anything like the escargot appetizer or the coq au vin meal, it’ll be fine… He personally wanted croque-monsieur with a side of onion soup, items that wouldn’t break the bank.
(I have no idea what those are oof)
Pandora sighed, looking over the options again and again. Her mind and heart both raced, and it was hard for her to think. "M-maybe I'll just have a salad," she concluded. Salad and wine, she thought with a sigh. How classy.
(Oof, sorry, escargot is snails, coq au vin is a meat dish (kinda, https://i2.wp.com/cafedelites.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Best-Chicken-Coq-Au-Vin-IMAGE-3.jpg?fit=1600%2C2400&ssl=1) and croque monsieur is a sandwich)
Drake gave her a smile, just as the waiter came back with the wine. “I’ll take a croque-monsieur and a side of onion soup, and she’ll take a salad.” He felt pleased ordering for Charlotte, it felt like it just cemented the fact they were on a date.
(whispers We should revive this…)
(we should)
(Maybe we could move on to the more, um, obsessive parts?)
(yeah sure
we should make a plan though so I don't start going back to fluff lol)
(Yeah, I gotta go cause I’m in the middle of class rn, but I’ll be back in a few hours~ish)
(kk)
(Cool, I’m back ^-^ So here’s some ideas on the more abusive/obsessive side I’ll just throw out there…
(how about literally all of them)
(Cool :D You wanna start?)
(once I get my laptop, sure)
(whispers Are you doing okay?)
(why do you ask?)
