Elizabeth's P.O.V

It was 3:30 when me and Ellie reached home, which means I have two and a half hours to get ready. Ellie insisted on coming to help me even though I told her it's more simple than that. Then, I took a shower and wore the outfit I chose yesterday.

Flashback:

"The last one?" I asked.

"Again the dark jeans, white blouse, a long jacket with two shades of light blue and two shades of light pink horizontal thick lines and light pink grey-ish boots" Rach described.

End of flashbacks.

Ellie also insisted on straightening my hair before she put me a nude makeup. And I was ready.

"What time is it?" I asked nervously.

"Almost six" Ellie said. I opened my mouth to speak, but before I could I heard the doorbell.

"Shit, it's him" I said as I stood up and stared panicking.

"Lizy. Calm down" Ellie said.

"Yeah, yeah I'm calm. I'm fine" I said trying to act cool but failed badly. I was so nervous that my stomach started hurting.

"Is it normal to be this nervous on a date?" I asked.

"For a first date, yeah it's fine" She assured.

"Wait.. the doorbell didn't ring again" I noticed.

"So?" She said in non-understanding.

"Dad's working from home" I said as I went downstairs quickly with Ellie on my tail.

"So, do you have a criminal record?" I heard dad's voice in the kitchen my eyes widened in surprise. Is he being serious?

"Dad" I warned.

"Just checking" Dad defended.

"Sorry, Kyle. Don't mind him" I told Kyle. But he didn't say anything.

"Kyle?" I called.

"He's staring" Dad said boringly.

"Dad" I warned again.

"What?" Dad asked innocently.

"Sorry, sorry. You just.. you look pretty. Very pretty" Kyle said softly.

"Thanks" I said as I smiled.

"Ehm ehm" Dad cleared his throat.

Oh god, he's so childish.

"So, ready to go?" Kyle asked in rhyme and laughed nervously and I smiled. I actually liked that he's as nervous as I am.

"Ha ha ha" Dad pretended to be laughing in boredom.

"Yeah, ready" I said softly.

"Just a moment with my daughter alone before you go" Dad said.

"I'll wait outside. It was nice meeting you, sir" Kyle said politely.

"Yeah, you too. And bring her home by ten. At ten and one minute I'll probably be calling the cops" Dad said warningly which was humiliating.

"No worries, sir" Kyle said before I heard him walk out.

"Oh my god dad. What are you doing?" I asked dad strictly.

"Just giving him a piece of my mind" Dad said defensively.

"Whatever. What is it that you want to talk about?" I asked.

"Do you want a pepper spray?" He asked a little seriously

"I'm not even going to answer that" I said shaking my head in non believing.

"Do I need to give you the talk?" He asked this time really seriously. Oh boy, I knew this was coming.

"Ew dad, stop" I said as I turned and walked away.

"Just take care" I heard his voice as I was on the door.

"He looks nice" I heard Ellie as I was going out.

"What is he wearing?" I asked to form a picture of him in my mind.

"He's wearing a black pantaloon, white shirt and a pullover in a light pink color almost matching to your jacket. Are you counting how many layers do you have to take off?" Ellie asked in a sexy tone.

"What's wrong with you guys today?" I asked angrily before I exited the house.

I instantly felt Kyle standing near to help me get in the car. We hopped in and I felt his minty breathe as he buckled my seatbelt.

"Sorry about dad. He's just an overprotective person over me and Katie" I explained as he activated the engine.

"It's okay. I completely understand" He said softly.

"Where are we going?" I asked while the car started moving.

"It's a surprise" He said.

"I'm not a big fan of surprises" I said truthfully.

"I think you'll like this one" He said excitedly.

And after almost ten minutes I felt the car stop.

"Are we there?" I asked.

"Yup" He said before he hopped out and helped me get out of the car. As soon as I went out I smelled grass.

"Are we in a park?" I asked.

"Wow, you're really good at this" He said in an amazed tone as we walked a few more minutes, then stopped.

"We're here" He said.

"All I know is that we are in a park. So, can you describe the place?"I asked.

"We are in a special part in the park. A part that nobody knows about except for Tyler, Rach and now you" He started explaining.

"How did you find it?" I asked curiously.

"I was an adventurous child. I always wanted to find new places and do new things. One day I was walking in this park and went deep into it and found this part" He explained.

"So, It is an empty area. Well was, it was an empty area but now it's occupied by a squared table in the middle of it. Two chairs across each other. A vase of red roses on the middle of the table. There are candles positioned in the shape of a passage from the place we are standing to the table" He described.

I was dramatic enough to feel like crying. But I hardly contained myself. I imagined every detail he described. I felt as if I could see again.

"I really don't tend to be a dramatic person but can I ask you something?" I asked.

"Anything" He answered softly.

"Why did you do all that?" I asked seriously.

"What do you mean?" he asked in confusion.

"I mean.. you know I won't see all that. So, why did you make so much efforts for a blind person?" I asked honestly. I had do. If I didn't, my mind wouldn't shut up.

"For two reasons. The first one; you're blind but you have your other senses alerted. So, you'll kind of feel all this. The second one; I don't really think I care. This is our first date. And I wanted to make it as perfect as I could. You deserve more than perfection" He said.

And it was enough to make my heart beat so fast, and my stomach does a double flip, and feel the butterflies that everyone talks about.

"Thanks, Da vinci. For everything" I said from all of my heart.

"It's okay, Mona Liza" He said warmly.

"And the date is really perfect" I said.

"You think?" He asked with doubt.

"Are you kidding me? Of course it is" I said confidently.

"It's the most perfect date in the world" I said honestly.

"Come on. let's sit" He said as he walked me to the table. We sat down and he served me diner which he also said it was a surprise. I took a bite and my eyes widened.

"Is that..." I started but he cut me.

"Yes, your favorite food from your favorite restaurant" He said proudly.

"How did you know that?" I asked.

"You talked about it once at lunch in school" He said and I was even more surprised.

"And you remembered?" I asked in a mix of surprise and disbelief.

"Of course I did" He said with a calm but confident tone and it made me smile wide.

We ate and spoke about everything before we were both done.

"Do you want to take a walk?" He asked softly.

"Yeah, sure" I said. His hand held mine to help me stand. And I have noticed that neither of us let go even when we started walking.

"Can I ask you something?" He asked.

"Yup" I answered.

"If you don't want to just tell me" He said nervously.

"What is it?" I asked in confusion.

"Is there.. Is there a surgery or some kind of medication that can bring your sight back?" He asked nervously as I froze for a few seconds.

"N.. No, there isn't" I lied nervously. I hate myself for doing that.. but I have to.

"Sorry for asking that. I just hoped there's something we can do" He explained a little sadly.

"It's okay. Thanks anyways" I said simply.

"So, is your dad always that sarcastic?" He asked changing the subject which I was very grateful for.

"Thank you for agreeing to go on this date with me. It was fun" He said as we stood in front of my doorstep at 9:55.

"Thank you. It was perfect. I had fun too" I said with a shy smile.

"Do you think.. I.. If you'd like.. Do you think you'd want to go out with me again?" He asked nervously which made me smile.

"Yes, I would love to go out with you again" I said softly.

"Good" He said happily.

"Yes, right! Dad invites you, Rachel, Sally and Jacob to diner at this weekend. If you're free of course" I said as I remembered.

"Yeah, it would be great" He said excitedly.

"You should go inside. No need for cops today" He said mentioning dad's words as I laughed.

"Yeah, you're right. See you tomorrow" I said as I smiled.

"See you tomorrow, Mona Liza" He said as I suddenly felt him kiss my left cheek. I immediately felt myself blush.

"Bye" I said as I quickly opened the front door, went inside and closed it in shyness. I heard him chuckle outside as I smiled myself.

"Hi" I suddenly heard dad's voice which made me scream and jump.

"Dad, you almost gave me a heart attack" I said/yelled madly .

"You were too dreamy to feel my presence. Not my problem" He said before he went to the kitchen and I followed him.

"He's on time. I was just about to call 911" Dad sarcastically.

"Oh my god. You need to see a therapist" I said sarcastically as we both chuckled.

"So, how was your date?" He asked.

"It was good.. very good" I said as I remembered the details.

"Oh god, you're seriously being dreamy. What did he do to you?" Dad said jokingly.

"Dad" I called warningly.

"Whatever, whatever" He said.

"I told him about our invitation and he said they're free" I said.

"Good. I miss having guests" He said in calm tone as I knew his mind drifted to some memories.

"Where's Katie?" I asked trying to stop those memories from roaming his mind.

"In her room, doing assignments" He answered.

"Are we really letting her do it peacefully?" I asked devilishly.

"Oh, you know me more than that. Of course not" He said as we went upstairs to bother my dear precious sister.. as usual.
