《Eternity in the darkness》Chapter 17:Date- Part 2

Thanking her for the meal, I was walking around the castle when I caught sight of Louis holding a cup in his hand.
"Someone's up early," he said knowingly.
"Couldn't get any sleep," I told him truthfully, to which he laughed.
"Understandable," he said and took an envelope out from his pocket, "this is for you," he said handing it to me.
"Me?" I was surprised.
"Yeah, open it when you're alone," he instructed me.
"Okay," I replied to him and went up to my room with the envelope curious to what it held. Sitting on the bed, I opened it to see a note inside.
Beloved Eve,
An urgent issue had to be attended last night regarding the neighboring state due to which Iwon'tbe available until tomorrow. Sorry love.
Love Ruka.
My heart sank after reading it as though someone had poured water on the fire. So much for the hopes, I thought. He was the king who had to be present everywhere; of course, he would be busy.
Well, I had all day, so why not complete assignments. Taking out the books, I started scribbling on the sheets. During the day both Lizzy and Andria had come to visit in my room cheering me up. We watched Titanic, holding a box of tissues next to us. That movie was certainly a tearjerker every time.
I passed the remaining day in my room sleeping. I did not realize it was seven until Lizzy came barging in my room.
"Go shower," she ordered pulling me out of the bed.
"Why?" I asked her perplexed.
"No questions," she said sternly, "Go on."
"Alright alright," I took a shower rinsing my hair and got out of the bathroom to see Lizzy picking the dress I was going to wear for the date.

"Lizzy the date is kind of canceled if you forgot," I reminded her.
"That doesn't mean you can't wear it," she chirped giving me the dress, "we are going out."
"Where are we going?" I asked her scrunching my eyebrow.
"That's a surprise," she replied grinning.
"Why are you dressed so normal if we are going out?" I asked looking at the clothes she was wearing.
"So many questions. I'll get ready once you get ready," she explained.
I wore the peach dress and tied up my hair, which Lizzy insisted that I let it down. Putting on minimum makeup, I was all ready.
"Look at you all pretty," she complimented me. She took a picture from her phone.
"Thank you Lizz, you still have to get ready," I pointed it out.
"Yeah yeah," she said waving her hand. We got out of my room when Lizzy stopped me suddenly.
"Crap! I left the car keys in Ruka's room, could you get it while I go get changed please?" she asked me hopefully giving me the puppy eyes. I sighed.
"Okay, but be quick," she hugged me telling a yes and went.
Keys. I went in front of his room and pushed the door open getting in. I gasped not expecting Ruka to be there. He wore a black T-shirt where I could see his toned chest and blue jeans. His hair was neatly combed back giving an extra intimidating look on him.
His room was one of a kind. Huge windows with long draped curtains around it. The furniture was of antique style, a large king size bed stood in the middle of the room. Attached to the room was the patio where he was standing.
In the patio was a table set with candles bottle of wine and a red rose in the vase. He gave me a smile that could kill millions of the female species.

"You said you were coming back tomorrow," I told in shock.
"You're not happy to see me?" he asked raising his perfect eyebrow smiling.
"N-no that's not what I meant," I said making him smirk.
"We completed the work and I had a date with the prettiest girl I've ever met. Couldn't miss it now, could I?" he said making me blush at what he said.
He pulled a chair for me and I sat. Picking up the wine, he poured it into the glasses. He gave one of them to me. I brought the cool glass to my lips and tasted the wine.
"Did you like it?" he asked as he watched me drink. I nodded my head.
"It tastes good", I told him and he chuckled.
"That's good to hear", he replied sipping his glass. The wind was cool that blew. We spoke about our likes and dislikes playing twenty questions. Later we had dinner there.
I got to know that his favorite color was sapphire and he liked spending his free time painting. He hated lies and loved his family more than anything.
"I hope this date was as close to what you expected," he said after we finished our dinner.
"It was perfect. Thank you," I said looking at the arrangements made. It meant a lot to me.
"Anything for you darling," he smiled at me, "I guess it's getting late. You have school tomorrow," he said checking his watch.
"Yeah," I replied getting up from the seat.
"Eve," he said pulling me into an embrace and leaned in. I felt his cool soft lips press lightly on my cheek, "Goodnight," he wished. I felt a small tingling on my cheek. I mumbled a goodnight feeling conscious and went to my room to sleep.
When I reached school the next day, I went to my locker alone to get a book for the class. Taking it out I closed the locker and turned to only get pushed against the locker. I gasped with the impact my back hit.
"Well well well," it was Trent smiling in a twisted way, "If it isn't the new girl."
