Chapter 8


 The following morning, Carl wakes up with a smile on her face and gets off the bed.
She walks to her window and slides the cover to the side.
 "I would be going on a date today with Dylan.
" She said smiling.
 She walked to her bed and sits as she remembers the smile he always wore on.

 "I am in love.
" She said to herself smiling then walked to the bathroom.
 The date was going to be in the evening but she felt she needed to plan.

 She rushed into the bathroom, had her bath then rushed out.

 She picked up her phone and opened her gallery.
She scrolled down to the the picture of Dylan she had taken when he didn't know.
 In the picture, he was touching his hair and she smiled.

 She began to think of how it was going to feel like to kiss Dylan's lip.

 "No, this is too much.
We haven't had our first date and here am I thinking of having my first kiss with him. I should know him better before sharing a kiss with him." She said to herself then smiled. "I guess it will be nice sharing a kiss with him."
 She dropped the phone back on the bed then went to her closet.

 She brought out a crop top with a short.
She dropped it on the bed then applied some lotion to her body.
 When she was done, she wore the crop top and short which she had dropped on her bed.

 After dressing, she walked over to a side of the bed and got her phone then she shut her closet and walked to the living room.

 Getting to the living room, she met her mother sitting on a couch and walked close to her.

 She gave her mother a peck and greeted her.

 "Good morning Mum.
" She said.
 "Good morning Carl.
How was your night rest?" She asked.
 "It was fine, Mum.
" Carl said walking to a couch then had her sit.
 "Is Dad back?
" She asked remembering that her Dad slept over at his friend's place.
 "He is back.
He is in the room preparing for the day's work." Mrs. Robin said.
 She looked at her daughter and smiled.

 "When would you be going on the date?
" Mrs. Robin asked.
 "I would be leaving for my Date with Dylan by 4pm today.
" Carl said and Mrs. Robin smiled.
 "I trust that you have planned how you will dress to the date.
" Mrs. Robin said and Dylan nodded.
 "Yes I have.
I am going to look like a princess." Carl replied.
 "Yes I trust you with that.
Prince Dylan won't be able to take his eyes off you." Mrs. Robin said and Carl smiled.
 She could only wish that Dylan likes her as she does.

 "Mum!
, do you think Dylan really would like me?" She asked her mother.
 "Yes he would, why won't he fall for such a beautiful princess like you.
" Her mother said making her blush.
 Minutes later, Nathalie walked out of the kitchen with two plates.

 She gave one to Carl and one to Mrs.
Robin then took a bow before leaving to the kitchen.
 A glass cup of water was brought for both of them and they ate their meal.

 Having finished her meal, Mrs.
Robin walked to meet her husband.
 "Love!
" She called her husband who looked at her.
 "Yes dear.
" He answered.
 She walked to him and wrapped her hand around his neck.

 "My love, our daughter would be going out by 4pm, will you be back before then so that we can see her off?
" Mrs. Robin asked and her husband nodded.
 "I will surely be back one hour before then.
I need to know the man our daughter is going out with." He answered and his wife hugged him giving him a peck.
 In the living room, Carl sat with Nathalie as she began to give her some instructions.

 When she was done giving the instructions, she walked back to her room.

 " I should be in my best today.
" She said to herself smiling.
 Few minutes later, her phone began to ring and a smile crossed her face as she saw the caller's Id.

 It was Dylan.

 She walked to the mirror looking at herself.

 "Be calm, Carl.
You do not have to show your excitement to him over the phone." She said to herself looking into the mirror as she takes in a deep breath.
 She picked up her phone and couldn't help but smile.

 "Hello Dylan.
" She said picking up the call.
 "Hello Carl, I called to ask you what you will like.
A champagne or Cinnamon drink? ' Dylan asked.
" Anyone.
" Carl said.
 They discussed on other things.

" It will be nice that I pick you up so can I get a clue on where you live?
" He asked and Carl blushed.
 Is he really going to pick her up?
, does he have a vehicle which he does not want anyone to know of?
" Alright.
" She said.
 She gives him the location of her house and the call ended.

 Hours later, she looked out the window of her room and could see her father's car driving in.

 "Why do they have to make it look more than it is?
, I am just going on a date and not marrying." She said to herself.
 Her father looked at her and waved which she reciprocated.

 Minutes later, Carl turned smiling.

 "I am about to take a step which is going to decide my future.
" She said to herself smiling.
 She walked to the living room and met her father who smiled at her.

 "Dad!
" She called out to her father who sat up right.
 "I am going on a date and not marrying.
" She said and her father smiled.
 "You are going to be out there with him in less than an hour.
You are the only child we've got and we look towards your happiness. We would love to see the guy who makes you happy before you pack to your apartment." Mr. Robin said to his daughter.
 "Alright Dad, you are surely going to see him as he said he will be coming to pick me up.
" She said and all her father could do was to smile.
 "Then he is going to be a good man for you.
A man who picks you up for a date is surely going to be nice when you marry him just as I am to your mother." He said and Carl smiled.
 "I should get back to my room in order to get dressed.
" Carl said and her father nodded.
 She walked up to her room with a smile on her face.

 She sits on her bed and starts rehearsing the line of speech she is going to give to Dylan whenever he comes.
She was so excited and got up.
 She walks to her closet and brings out the beautiful gown she had bought.

 A smile crossed her face as she saw the beauty of the gown.

 She walks into her bathroom and has a shower.

 Stepping out of the shower, she cleans her body and applies lotion to it.

 "This is perfect.
" She said to herself.
 She picks out her underwear and wears it then puts on the gown.

 She sits on a chair and smiles while packing her hair after which she applies a lip coloring to her lip.

 "This is perfect.
" She says adoring her beauty in the gown.
 She walks over to the place she had kept the shoe she had bought for the occasion and wears it.
She also wears her new watch and carries a new bag.
 She applies perfume on herself and smiles.

 She walks up to her phone and picks it up.

 "Wow, we only have five minutes more.
Am I to call him?" She asked herself then concluded. "No, I might sound desperate calling him."
 She checked herself once again before walking to the living room.

 She met her Mother and Father in the living room talking.

 The smell of her perfume interrupted their discussion making them turn to look at their daughter.

 "Wow, you look amazing.
" Her mother said smiling.
 Mr.
Robin cleared his throat and turned to look at his daughter.
 "I am sure he is an handsome looking guy who will make every girl drool over him so you took it on yourself to dress up in a way that he would only drool over your beauty.
" He said smiling and the mother and daughter couldn't help but smile.
 "He should be here in two minutes time.
" Mrs. Robin said.
 Carl nodded her head.
She could only wish that he brings a beautiful car and has rich friends.
 She wasn't bothered about him being rich but needed him to be surrounded with rich friends.
She remembered how they met.
" He is going to be slightly rich but I hope he has rich friends.
" She said to herself.
 A minute later, her phone beeped and she picked it up.

 "I am outside.
" She read in the message and smiled slightly.
 "Why can't he call me?
" She asked herself then walked to the window side.
 She looked out of the window and smiled.

 He was standing beside a car and had a beautiful flower in his hand.

 "That's so romantic.
" She said crossing her hand on her chest.
 Her parents smiled and both went to the window where they saw a man looking at their daughter.
The man was holding a beautiful flower and dressed in a beautiful way.
 He wasn't wearing a suit but he was beautifully dressed.

 "Is that the man?
" They both asked Carl who nodded.
 "Then you should hurry.
" They both said and immediately Carl picked up her bag and walked out of the house.
 "Hello beauty.
" Dylan said seeing Carl walk majestically to him.
 Carl stretched forward her hand which he held.

 He placed the flower which he had with him on her other hand.

 "Thank you.
" She said as he opened a door for her to enter.
 She wondered why he opened the door of the back seat for her but didn't worry.
