55 Chapter 55 Date with Sister
(Claire POV)
There I was standing like a statue watching the incredibly handsome butler who was putting the final details of a breakfast that looked like something out of a restaurant magazine, it’s just that the butler seemed strangely familiar, as if I had known the guy all of my life. . . Oh sure that’s why it’s Desmond.
?? I am glad you are here my lady, breakfast will be served soon. ??
And so, as he filled the table with cymbals, Desmond put on that flirtatious smile of his and with the manners of a true English butler prepared a chair for me to sit on. With my brain still trying to process the scene in front of me, I proceeded to sit down and look at the little delicacies that filled the small table and the delicious butler next to me; all I could get from my lips was:
?? why? ??
?? Well today is a special day for us, so I wanted it to be as unique and special as possible, then I remembered that manga you used to read about a butler and his young lady and Poof things ended like this. I ordered the suit a few days ago and I chose a menu full of your favorite things: scrambled eggs with bacon, light pancakes with red berries, fruit salad and for desserts we have fried banana crepe with chocolate and a tangerine parfait; Besides drinking we have a cappuccino to your liking and prepare that jasmine tea that you like so much. Prepare everything myself and aside from the drinks, everything comes in small portions so you can try as much as you want. ??
What else could I do besides just eat everything in sight, Desmond had cooked for me since we were little, but he had never put in so much effort; this was probably the perfect breakfast based only on my tastes. Remembering the amount of time I spent choosing my clothes and then seeing how much effort Desmond put into just breakfast; I didn’t know whether to be happy or sad about it.
After finishing a breakfast where Desmond treated me like a princess from start to finish, my expectations for the date were shattered on a molecular level and now I just let Desmond get on with whatever he had planned.
(Desmond POV)
.....
Step number one of the plan “Perfect date with the little sister, take her to bed in one day”, the perfect breakfast; completed.
Step number two slap Desmond for giving the plan that name and changing the name to one that doesn’t make me look like a jerk. . . Plop! Completed.
For the next part of our date we will leave the house, now a little biology class for all the boys at home; When the awakening occurred, the energy radiated by the meteor affected every living being on earth, but hope that all of them mutate into killing machines that only want to eat the last living human. . . it would be an exaggeration. Some plants and animals simply changed in proportions or characteristics, but not nature, among them is Claire’s favorite creature; the butterflies.
The vast majority of butterfly species are still harmless today and are only more beautiful than they were in the past. Take for example the monarch butterfly, it used to be an endangered species in some region of South America, now it is one of the most common butterflies in the world, in terms of appearance it did not change much; they are only slightly larger than in the past and their wings leave behind a trail of sparks the color of the same.
Of course I did not come to talk about the mysteries of mother nature for no reason, as I said before, butterflies are Claire’s favorites and it happens that in this small town we live there is a botanical garden full of butterflies. That’s where my date with Claire will see the second part of her and where I have another special surprise in store for her.
(Claire POV)
Breakfast was perfect, but now that we are in the botanical garden I realize that my date seems to be able to improve even more. We spent a couple of hours just wandering around looking at the flowers and butterflies while taking pictures, holding hands and kissing every now and then, for me the simple fact of being able to be with Desmond as a couple was enough to make me incredibly happy; But this date was even more than I could ask for.
Soon it began to dusk and from the position in which it was located in the botanical garden located right between two hills, the light soon became scarce and the lights were turned on inside. As if it were a sign, Desmond took me by the hand and walked towards the center of the garden where a small circular square surrounded by the most beautiful flowers is located. Normally the square should have several people looking around, but it was strangely empty, the only thing there was a very fine antique record player. Before I began to wonder what was happening, the person who was holding my hand took a step forward, turned around and extended his hand towards me, he told me.
?? I have another surprise for you. ??
