The date and getting to know each other
Khalid
"You look lovely," Colm says as he stares at me. He is dressed to the nines in a dark grey suit with a dark blue tie that matches his bright blue eyes. It almost seems to give off an aura of authority when combined with his dark hair and pale skin.
"Thank you but these are all your clothes." I smile up at him. We stand before each other awkwardly. What does one wear to the first date with a potential mate?
"Dad didn't think it was a good idea to leave the compound and it took a lot of convincing, so we have to be very stealth tonight."
He is smiling.
He looks like a child that is about to be mischievous.
"Where are we going?"
"Dinner, as I said."
He leads me out of the guest house, and I follow him. I don't know what people do on dates. Should I take his hand in mine? Would it be awkward, or weird? I don't know what he is thinking, so I don't know the right move to make.
