Claire POV~
A week came and pass and today is the day of our date. When I have earlier told mom and dad that I am going out on a date, they where beyond shock and kept saying they want me meet the guy that changed my mind about the whole dating of a thing. Is not as if I told I don’t to date or some. It’s just my parents being parents.
I asked Xander where we are going to and he say it’s a surprise and ask me to wear a dress. I wore a simple fitting red dress that has cut on both shoulders. I pair the outfit with a golden sandal heels.
I went down stairs am found mom and dad interrogating Xander.
“Mom! Dad! Stop embarrassing me!.” I said as I announce my presence. They all turned to look at me.
“O my daughter is already grown up!.” Mom said and wipe away fake tears from her eyes.
I rolled my at eyes at her and waved to Xander. He is wearing a short levees shirt and dark blue jeans.
“We will get going now!.” I announced and I heard Xander sighed in relief.
“Okay young man, no funny business and make sure you return my daughter back safety by 10.” My dad instructed.
“Yes sir!.” Xander saluted.
“His just joking, just be back before midnight and don’t forget to come over for dinner on Sunday”. Mom said and I look at her. Just what happened before I came down.
“Noted Mam, be expecting me!.” Xander smile at mom making her to blush.
We sat our good byes to them and left. Xander came in a black Porsche car today. I have almost forgotten that they have a lot of cars in their house. Xander pressed a button and the doors of the car slide up. Impressive.
“How many cars do you own on your family?”. I asked when we entered into the car.
“Quite a lot, why do you ask?”.
“Well, you guys almost don’t repeat the same car in a month”. I pointed out.
“That’s true, the people in my house like collecting of cars I guess!”. He said as he started to drive. We sat in a comfortable silence as we drove.
After driving for about forty minute, we arrived at a fancy restaurant near the river side. Xander packed his car and we went out.
“Welcome, your reservation is under which name please?”. We where asked immediately we entered into the restaurant. Everything in the restaurant screams money. I wonder how much a plate of meal cause!.
“Mr Avila”. Xander said and mans eyes widened.
“Welcoming sir and Mam, please this way.” The man said as he lead us deeper into the restaurant.
Xander most have booked a VIP for us because we are almost at the end of the restaurant.
“Thank you John, will take it from here!.” Xander dismissed the man.
“Do you trust me?.” Xander asked me.
“Yea I do!”. I answered with no hesitation. For some unknown reason, I trust him more than I trust myself or anyone else.
“Okay then. I am going to blind hold you from here. I will hold your hands and guide you to our destination okay?”. Xander explained and I nod my head.
He took that as a go ahead as he produce a white bandanna from his pocket and tight my eyes with it. He then placed his hands on my shoulders and started to guide my footsteps. His cold hands are touching my bare shoulders causing me to shiver. Even though his hands are cold, I felt warmth wherever he touched.
We walked for some time. At a point it seems as if we are climbing on to something and then by the sound of our shoes, I knew we are walking on a wooden surface but I can’t guess what.
After a minute or so, we stoped walking and Xander removed the bandanna from my eyes. I look around our environment with my mouth wide open. We are on the deck of a yacht ship. The yacht is decorated with candle scent and on the deck is a table with two seat. Next to the yacht, is a boat with about five instrumentalists playing a song. I am beyond speechless. I never imagined that my first date will be this wonderful. I actually thought that it will be to the movie or a simple dinner but not this.
“So what do you think?”. Xander asked me.
“It’s wonderful. I can’t believe you did this!”. I answered. He made my dream come true. After I watch John talker must die, I lowkeyly wish to have a date on a yacht. I don’t know how Xander knew about that, but I will always remember this date.
“I am glad you like it. I remember you told me that you like sea food so I guess you may like water related stuff too. So I came up with this”. Xander explained. I am very touch that he remembers.
“Thank you!”. I sincerely told him.
“You are welcome! Can I have this dance!”. Xander gave me his hands.
“Em.. as much as I love to, I don’t know how to dance”. I embarrassingly informed him.
“No need to be embrace about it. I will guide you!.” Xander said. I gave him my hands and he lead us to dance. Once in a while I will step on his feet but Xander doesn’t seems to mind.
We danced for about twenty minutes before we stopped. Xander waved at the instrumentalist and they towed away.
“Let’s eat, the food must be getting cold”. Xander announced.
He lead me by the hand to the table. And like a true gentle man he is, he pulled out the chair for me. He opened the dishes on the table before he took his seat. There are different varieties of sea food on the table.
After we are done eating, Xander lead us into the Yacht to watch movie. The interior of the Yacht is much more beautiful than the outside. The Yacht only has one big room which has a lounge section, a king size bed, a bar, a small kitchen and so much more. It looks like a bachelors pad. And when I ask Xander, he confirmed what I have been thinking. The Yacht personally belongs to him. It was gifted to him as his year birthday gift by his father. When he told me I am the first person he brought here, it touched my heart. I have never felt so special in my life like today.
Xander lead us to the lounge section and on the television before asking me to choose a movie of my choice. I chooses a random movie and we sat down to watch.
At this point, I knew that my heart is gone and there is no going back. I know that it will be painful but I have to end what we have now. If not I don’t think I can handle the truth at the end. I personally don’t think that Xander have feelings for me. I don’t want to keep giving myself false hope.
I turn and kept looking at him instead of the tv screen. Xander must have felt my eyes on him because he turned and look at me.
“Hey what’s wrong? Why are you crying?.” Xander asked with his voice full of concern.
