Everett’s pov
We got back from the amusement park and arrived at the house. “Thanks for taking me out Everett, it was really nice and I really loved it. ” Rachelle told me with a smile and held my hands, swinging them left and right. It was obvious she was bubbling with excitement and happiness from all the fun she had at the amusement park with me. I was going to give her more and shower her with more love if It was going to give me a chance to see her happy and excited all the time because a happy Rachelle was a happy Everett. It felt like my mood was linked to hers and whatever she felt was what I was bound to also feel too.
I freed one of my hands from hers and gently stroked her face while she leaned in “you shouldn’t be thanking me Rachelle, you deserve it and you’re entitled to anything you want here” I told her and she nodded before she gave me a hug “still, I’ll show you I loved it” she replied and gave me a peck then released me from her hug “I still have a surprise for you” I told her and she smiled, her eyes going wide
“Really?” She squealed excitedly and I nodded as she clapped and bounced up and down with a huge grin on her face.
“What’s the surprise?” She asked and I laughed. It was her habit to always ask what the surprise was even though she knew I’ll never tell until it was time to surprise her.
“Rachelle, we always go through this and you I never end up telling you so there’s no need asking this time” I replied and she pouted as she looked up at me while making doey eyes at me “Everett, just tell me please. You know being in suspense kills me” she whined while trying to look cute to melt my stance a little bit. I was having none of it. She always did this when she wanted something and I was used to it already, it wasn’t working as effectively as it used to.
“This suspense won’t kill you, trust me” I assured her and gave her a kiss on the forehead “now go up to your room, get dressed and be back in time” I told her and walked up the stairs to my room to get dressed while I left her there still basking in her so called suspense that she claimed would kill her. I shook my head as I entered my room and began to peel off my clothes. Rachelle could be dead serious one moment and then she would be trying to look cute to me the next moment that it always drove me crazy all the time. She was definitely a work of art, beauty portrayed in a woman; that was what she was and no matter what she did, I still loved her that way.
I took a shower and dried up then went to my closet and took out a suit I bought and had been saving for this day with Rachelle. I had everything planned out already and the aim was to make it special with no mistakes and to also make Rachelle happy as she enjoys it all. I was already done with more than half of the day and it was quite obvious she really loved and enjoyed the activities we had so far. I was going to make the evening memorable for us too.
I smiled to myself and began to put on my suit then proceeded to make my hair look nice as I stood in front of the mirror.

The suspense was killing me slowly, I wouldn’t deny and it seemed Everett was quite enjoying the show, telling me he had a surprise when he could just keep shut about it and just surprise me, but no! He went ahead to let me know when he knew what knowing about surprises did to me, they killed me slowly… but that also seemed to amuse him all the time.
I pleaded and did all I could to make him give away something about the surprise, even a clue but he didn’t budge. I had to find a new way of making him fall for my charms. Being cute wasn’t working well enough anymore, maybe I was going to try out being sexy… that could work considering how everything about me turned him on. I sighed as I stood where he left me at the foot of the stairs and decided to leave for my room too until he was ready to tell me what the surprise was all about.
I opened my door and stepped in only to see a really beautiful dress laid on my bed with a pair of shiny black heels at the foot of my bed “oh my! Wow!” I exclaimed as I was close to getting speechless.
“Surprise!” Violet yelled from my closet and found her way out with a grin “I’m so glad the surprise worked out, for a moment I thought you’d found out when you weren’t coming up” she told me and wiped an imaginary sweat from her forehead “the dress is so pretty Violet, who got it?” I asked her “it was Everett but with my help, I knew you would look perfect in it for your date” Violet told me and I gasped
“A date?” I asked and she nodded excitedly
“But we just had one” I told her referring to the time I spent at the park with Everett but she shook her head “this one is different” she told me and pulled me closer “I need to make you over” she said and with that I became Violet doll that just sat still while she did all her makeover on me.
I took a shower first to feel fresh and comfortable in the dress, then she sat me down first and took a scissor to trim and style my hair, claiming she was expert in that field. I protested at first but she later had her way with her words and made me let her style my hair. Once she was done, she did my makeup and within a short time, she was done and turned me to look at the mirror on my vanity. I couldn’t believe my eyes or recognize the new me I stared at.
I was perfect! A new wave of confidence and excitement covered me and I squealed before hugging her to show how much I loved the whole makeover thingy.
Then she took my dress and handed it to me. I scurried off into my closet and changed into the dress. It was exactly my size and I loved it due to how comfortable I was in the dress. I stepped out of the closet and Violet couldn’t hide the surprise on her face. She was obviously taken away.
“Oh my God Rachelle, are you an angel?” She questioned and I blushed “stop with the flattery” I retorted and we laughed
“You look really beautiful… and damn sexy” she told me and whistled “Everett would have to be on a higher self-control this evening” she joked and ushered me to look at the mirror. It was my turn to get speechless.
I couldn’t believe I was staring at a reflection of myself, I was magnificent. Violet quickly rushed me to wear my shoes which I did then I sprayed some perfume on myself and went downstairs to meet Everett.
He looked breathtaking too in his suit and I couldn’t help but remember prom night. It felt like we were having our prom night and it felt so sweet and perfect.
Everett’s pov
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw her, she was different in a good way. She looked like an angel in the silver dress that hugged her curves and accentuated her hips that clung to the dress like a second skin, her hair was held up in a loose bundle while little tendrils fell in curly forms. She was beyond beautiful or perfect, there was no word to describe how she looked. I kept on staring at her speechless and zoned out as I kept on admiring her until she got to my front and snapped a finger in my face “to earth Everett” she said and giggled while I smiled “you look magnificent” I complimented her and she smiled “so do you” she replied and I held out my arm while she crossed her arm with mine.
We got to the car and I opened her door for her before going to the driver’s side to drive us to our destination. We held hands in the car and teased each other once in a while until we got to the restaurant. I could see the surprise on Rachelle’s face as she mouthed the name of the restaurant and I smiled,
“Panice Felice Ristorante”.
We stepped down and the valet took the car. I squeezed her hand and she smiled at me then we walked in. A waiter came to us and I told him we had a reservation and the name it was reserved under then he led us to a table. I pulled a chair out for Rachelle and she sat before I did.
We were given a glass of water each and handed the menu to choose what we’ll have.
Rachelle looked confused as she went through the menu, it seemed like she was having a hard time understanding the meaning of the dishes written on the menu so scooted close to her and sat beside her “any problem?” I inquired and she nodded with a worried look but she only looked more pretty to me “I don’t the understand what’s written here” she whispered “they all sound delicious but I don’t know what to choose” she added and I couldn’t help the smile that crept on face at how effortlessly cute she was.
I took the menu from her hands “let me” I said and read through it while I explained it to her. There were seven dishes on the menu, the Italian menu had spaghetti carbonara, Florentina steak, Gnocchi Sorrento and Fettuccini Alfredo then the other menu were Greek dishes, there was moussaka, papoutsakia and bougatsa. I explained what they were to her so she’d know what to order for while she stared at me with awe “I’m surprised you know what they mean, they sound like alien’s names” she said and I laughed but tried not to be loud “I’ll take the fettuccini Alfredo and the papoutsakia” she added and I nodded and told the waiter.
Minutes later, we were served along with a bottle of wine I ordered for and the waiter filled our glasses before keeping the bottle on our table and left. “I’ve never been to a fancy restaurant before… this place looks so priceless Everett” Rachelle whispered to me and I was glad I was the first person she went to a fancy restaurant with. I took her hand “you’d go to more whenever you like from now on” I said and she smiled at me “thank you Everett” she said and I shook my head “don’t thank me Rachelle, you deserve it. I keep on telling you” I said and silence followed as we ate, I watched Rachelle as he closed her eyes to savor the taste of the fettuccini Alfredo when she tasted it, she loved it and I was glad.
We finished our food and desert was served, we ate that too while holding our hands this time. I paid the bill once we were done and we left, the car already at the front at the restaurant with the valet waiting. He gave me my key and I gave him a tip before we left.
I stopped at the park close to the restaurant and got us ice cream in cones then wore my jacket for Rachelle before we took a short walk through the park while chatting and laughing. It was all perfect, the date went as planned and Rachelle was happy… so I was happy too.
