Chapter 15 – Their first date: Prelude

That Saturday morning, Aidan was studying when the phone started to ring. Answering the phone he heard a familiar voice

“Hello, it´s Mylene”
“Hello Mylene, what´s up?”
“There was one thing I forgot to ask you earlier: Do you have any formal attire?”
“Yeah, I have my tuxedo I bought when I graduated from high school, why do you ask?”
“The place we´re going to tonight is quite fancy and it requires formal attire.”
“Ok, it´s the same time?”
“Yes, I´ll come and get you at 1800 and don´t eat before since we´ll be going to a restaurang as well”
“Is there anything else? I don´t want to be rude but I have some studying to do so you´ll have to excuse me”
“Sure thing, see you tonight then.”
“Yeah, have a good day”

Ending the phonecall Aidan then turns around to get some more studying done. Studying for a couple of hours and then finally the new info got to him. Date with Mylene, formal attire, restaurang and more. Taking a look at the time he is shocked, 1600 and he hasn´t even taken the tuxedo out from the closet to see what condition it is in.

Aidan had luck tonight, his tuxedo was clean and in good condition. Getting ready he saw the time fly. Before he knew it he had taken a shower, put some eau de cologne on, gotten all his bocks back in place and he was ready to leave.
Just in time it since when he was going to take a short break he heard the doorbell. Walking up and opening the door a much familiar face showed up.

“Are you ready Aidan?” Mylene said standing at the doorstep wearing a white dress which leaves her shoulders bare
“Wow, you look beautiful Mylene, yes I´m ready. Shall we?”
“Yes, let´s go”

Walking arm in arm to the limo which was waiting for them Aidan opened the door for Mylene and helped her get in the car before getting in himself.

Nervous as he´s never been before Aidan can´t think of what to do or say. He just sits still in the limo not doing anything or saying anything. Mylene then offers him a glas of champagne
“Want to drink something? It might help you relax”
“Why not. I don´t know what´s gotten over me, it feels like my whole body is shaking”
“It´s ok. I was the same the first time I went to such a grand restaurang with my parents. Did you go to the prom when you finished high school?”
“No, I thought it would be a waste of time since I´m not a very talkative person and I would have just ruined it for whoever I would have gone with”
“Ah, then I understand why you´re so nervous. But let´s have a small drink here before we arrive at the restaurang”

Taking a glas of champagne from Mylene and watching as she takes one for herself, they take a look into eachothers eyes and Aidan almost drops his glas.
“Cheers!!” Mylene tells Aidan and points the glas over at him
“Cheers!!” and Aidan touch Mylene´s glas softly, making a soft sound echo trough the car.

Upon arriving at the restaurang Aidan gets out first to help Mylene out of the limo, when he takes a look around he can see that there are a lot of people who seems to be going to the same restaurang, making him even more nervous. Feeling a soft touch on his should he turns around
“Then, shall we enter Aidan?”

Not being able to answer her with words he just gives her a little nod, offers her his arm and they enter.
