CHAPTER 21: Date 3...

Ryu

Tonight is my date with Celeste. I hope she is still up for it after today. I don't want to put any more stress on her. She was so distraught during the meeting. Maybe she has had time to cool down by now. I have to pick her up soon. I guess I'll find out then.

I finally finish getting ready, and walk to Celeste's room. I'm calmer than I thought I'd be as I knock on the door. She answers the door wearing a jade - colored sweater, black riding pants, and black boots with fur around the top. Everything hugs her curves beautifully. "Celeste, you look beautiful." As I say this, I hand her the roses I had delivered earlier. "For you."

"White roses, Ryu, they're gorgeous. They're in such a beautiful vase too. How on earth did you get these way out here?"

"I have my ways." She giggles as I smirk at her. "Listen, we can postpone this if you're not in the mood after what happened today."
