Chapter 32: Chapter 32

First Date

CATALAYA'S POV

My date with Andreas is in an hour, I've already endured the torture harley and aqua calls hair and makeup afterwards freya helped me pick out a nice outfit because according to them i have no sense of fashion. I have no idea where we're going as Dre or any of the guys refuse to tell me but they did advise that i dressed casually so i did. I'm in my room sitting on the bed waiting patiently

Who am i kidding I'm not patient my feet is tapping a mile a minute and i'm super nervous. I mean this is my first date like ever and i have no idea how to act. The girls gave me a crash course on on dating 101 but with these shaky nerves i forgot everything.

As i break down mentally the mirror in my room glows then i heard dad say in a really creepy voice

"Hello my precious"

"Dad!"

"Hey baby girl how are you"

"I'm good and i see you've been watching the movies Freya suggested"

"I have been binging all week. I always thought humans were insignificant useless creatures all except your mother of course but i have to admit they do know how to entertain"

Chuckling i say "Well I'm glad you're enjoying them"

"Anyways enough about me, i heard Andreas popped the question"

"What! Who told you that?"

"I can't name names but it was Sam"

"Didn't you just name names?"

"That's not important, just tell me if he did"

"So you can go hunt him down?"

"Aww you get me" he says putting his hand on his chest

"Your crazy dad and the only question Dre popped was to ask me on a date" i tell him

"Wait so he didn't ask you to be his mate?" He says

"What!? No, and he can do that?"

"Of course he can you're both mateless"

"I had no idea besides I don't think I'm worthy to be Dre's mate" i sighed

"Are you kidding me? Bitch best believe anyone would be lucky to have you"

I raised a brow at his speech

"Why are you talking like that?" I chuckle

"Too much social media, i created my own wifi service i call it the neko" dad says

"You named your wifi after me?"

(A/N) 'neko' means Cat in japanese

"Yeah just don't tell Sam and Nic or I'll never hear the end of it" he chuckles

"And its faster than earth's shitty service so we've been binging Netflix and checking out some of the apps you teenagers use these days" levi says appearing in the mirror all of a sudden

"Levi when did you get here?" I say surprised

"I've been here the whole time your bitch ass father just kept on hogging all the mirror space so you couldn't see me" he complains

"Dude are you seriously photo bombing my call right now" dad says

"Yes because your not asking the right questions"

"Fine fine you go ahead and ask her"

"Ask me what"

"So as i was saying your dad and i have been testing out a few apps you guys use but we're still confused about one specific one"

"Which one?" I ask

"Grindr"

"What!? No!" I laughed

"Dad you do know that app is for gay men right?"

"So what if its for gay people, every gender wants some of this don't act like your father isn't a stud sweetheart"

"And your uncle" Levi chips in

"Exactly. I just don't know why the phone keeps vibrating every few seconds"

"Oh my hell, its because you have guys chasing after you"

"Well, don't i feel special" both he and Levi smirked

"Dad!"

"Ok fine I'll set up a tinder"

"Daaadd!"

"What? Don't you wanna see me happy?" He pouts

"Yeah Cat you're being pressed for nothing" Levi butts in

Before i could answer them there's a knock on my door and dre walks in.

"Hey babe you ready"

"Yeah just give me a minute so i can deal with these two" i say pointing at the mirror

"Oh sire i didn't realize you were there"

"Hey Andreas" dad greets

"Yo Dre tell your girl to stop being so aggy and help us out" Levi says

"Tell her to stop being what?" Dre asks confused

"First off Levi I'm not being 'aggy' and i highly doubt your using those words properly" i tell him

"Ok I'm so confused" dre says

"These two here signed up for grindr and now they wanna go on tinder" i tell him

"Wait you mean that human gay app?" He asks

"That's the one" i confirm

Dre immediately erupts in laughter. He was laughing so hard he had to sit on the bed while holding his stomach. I couldn't hold back my laugh either and joined him in laughing at dad and Levi's expense.

"Anyways guys Dre and i have to go so we'll have to set up your tinder later" i tell them after some time

"Ok sure go have fun" dad says as i grabbed my coat

"And no funny business" he calls out as we head to the door

"Bye dad, love you" i say

"Love you more sweetheart" he replies

We head downstairs to see everyone in the living room, as soon as we reach the final step Sam sees us

"Hey are you guys leaving out now?" He asks

"Yeah" i say

"Ok well have fun"

"Oh and-"

"No funny business" i say cutting him off

"Yeah dad already gave us the run down"

Chuckling he says "well then have fun and be careful" giving me a kiss on the forehead

"Bye guys" i wave to everyone else

Dre opens the car door for me to get in closing it as i buckled up. He walks over to the drivers side and slips in buckling up himself before starting the car and driving off.

"So where are we going?"

"Ha nice try but you won't get a word out of me"

"Oh come on please just tell me"

"Nope"

"Ok then just a small hint"

"Uh uh"

"Fine" i pout crossing my arms, Dre just shook his head with a smile and continued driving

We drive for an hour before Dre parked on a beach, he opened the door for me once again and intertwined our fingers as we walk to the carniva-

"Oh my gosh the carnival!" I squealed

"I have wanted to come here ever since i was a kid i had no idea there was one in town"

"Aqua told me about it, and since i heard you've always wanted to come here i figured it would be the best place for our first date" dre says bringing my knuckles to his lips placing a lingering kiss

"Thank you so much" i tell him

"Your welcome, now come on lets go make some memories" he says intertwining our fingers again and walks through the gate.

After Dre bought some, well more like two hundred tickets we started walking around the carnival grounds

"Woah we need to try that" i say pointing to a tent that had some sort of game with water guns

"Hey how does this game work?" Dre asks the lady at the stand

Just fill the holes with water" she says pointing to a cardboard with holes

I nod as she hands me us our guns. I place my finger over the trigger and aimed at the cut out

"Ok, ready......and go" the worker says. The entire backdrop lit up and giggling noises could be heard from the cardboards

I tried to shoot through the holes but i only managed to fill up one. After a few more tries i sighed in defeat and gave up. I looked over at Dre to find him in deep concentration as he filled up all the holes, who knew he was such a great shot he held that water gun like a veteran gunslinger.

He did an air fist bump when he was declared the winner. He handed back the gun to the lady as she gave him his prize which was a giant stuffed tiger.

"Ha you loose" he jeered sticking his tongue out at me doing

"I could have won if i wanted to" i huffed

"Liar, just admit it you lost and i won" he says doing what i presume is a happy dance

A guy and a girl came over to the stand and the worker handed them the guns, suddenly i feel water splash on my hand

"Hey watch where you're pointing that thing will you" Dre shouted at the guy

"I'm so sorry i didn't see you there" the guy apologises

"It's ok" i tell him"

Walking away from the stand i say "You didn't gave to be so mean to the poor guy"

"Yes i did" he defends

"Oh really?"

"Yes"

"And why do you have to be mean?"

He stops in his tracks and suddenly pulls me closer before whispering in my ear

"Because, I'm the only one who's allowed to get you wet"

"Oh my gosh your mind is so nasty go away" i laugh pushing his shoulder

"Don't act like you don't know the facts baby" he winks

"Shut up" i say causing him to chuckle

"Oh and this is for you my lady" he says in a butler's voice with a small bow as he hands me the tiger

"Why thank you good sir" i laughed doing a curtsy and took the tiger from him

"Come on lets go see what else they have" he chuckles pulling me along

I squealed in excitement the second my eyes landed on a jumbo multicolored panda bear

"I want it, i need him he's mine" i say pointing at the bear

"He can be yours if you drop these into those three cups" the man at the stand says handing me three tennis balls

"Go get it babe" Dre chuckles handing the man a few tickets

I squinted my eyes in an attempt to line up my target, i shift my body weight backwards then forwards. My arms leaped forwards and the first ball propelled to the cups landing in with ease. I throw the second one and it bounced on the rim but still landed inside. When the third ball was thrown from the trajectory i could tell it wouldn't make it.

"Please please please" i chant in my mind

The ball hit the space above the cup and i could have sworn it missed. I turn away in disappointment, i really wanted that bear. Suddenly i heard the worker say

"What the hell!"

I looked in his direction to see the ball had actually made it into the final cup. I gasped and turned to Dre who's eyes had a flicker of red before they turned back to their usual dark colour. I squealed in excitement as the man handed me the jumbo panda, it was almost the same size as me. I smiled in happiness as i clutched onto the stuffed animal and rub my face on it.

IT'S SO FLUFFY!

"You did it" Dre cheered with the tiger in his arms

I didn't think twice before hooking my hand behind his neck and pulling him towards me. His soft lips crashed down on mine and goosebumps trailed my body. There's nothing more addicting in this world than kissing Dre.

"Woah dude you wouldn't mind loaning me this hot babe for a night would you" some walking skin and bones interrupted our moment.

"Excuse me?" Dre turned around glaring at the guy. Suddenly his eyes widen as he started having trouble breathing. After a few seconds i put my hands on Dre's shoulder signalling him to stop now, i then took his hands in mine and pulled him away. As we walked off the guy gasped for air catching his breath, he deserved what he got he's lucky i took pity on him.

We played multiple games afterwards most of which i won. I knew i could be him i just had to warm up a bit his was just beginners luck.

"So how does it feels to loose to my awesomeness" i brag once again

We currently sat on a bench eating hotdogs and drinking sodas with around five stuffed animals at our feet including the tiger and bear. I also bought some cute charm bracelets i decided to give to the girls.

"How can i loose when i still have you don't i? He questions, a small smile rests upon my face as my heart flutters and my face turned beet red

"Am gonna go get some ice cream, you want any" i say pointing to the cart

"No"

I got up quickly and made a dash for the cart, i didn't really want any ice cream i just had to move for a bit my little heart couldn't handle all the feelings swirling around in it and dre looking at me like that wasn't helping.

"One vanilla ice cream please" i tell the man

He scoops the cream onto the cone and hands it to me, i pay him and turn around heading back to dre licking my ice cream.

"That's what humans call ice cream?" Dre says as i sat back on the bench

"Yeah you ever had it before"

"No, it doesn't look all that good to me i don't see what the excitement is about"

"What? How can you not like ice cream, this is a top tier desert"

"Not for me" he says

"You're weird" i tell him

I held onto my cone securely and licking my ice scream as my taste buds scream in delight, it was so good i involuntarily let out a moan. Finishing up my cream i wiped my mouth with the napkin. I turn to look at dre raising a brow when i realized he was breathing heavy

"Are you ok?" I questioned worriedly

"I.. Uhm... Yeah am good" he mumbles

"Since you're finished lets go check out the other rides" he suggests picking up the stuffed animals.

We walked around for a few minutes and i checked my watch realizing its almost 9pm. I hadn't realized how much time had passed by since we got here, i was too busy having fun to care about the time. However we had agreed to head home by ten since its a school night and Mr wrath over there tends to be extra grumpy in the mornings when he doesn't get enough sleep.

"Lets go on the ride" Dre says in excitement as his eyes twinkled like a little kid's, looking at the mechanical structure

Chuckling i say "come on lets go"

Dre all but threw the tickets at the worker as we climbed into the ride and buckled in.

"Everyone secured" the worker asks, we mumbled a yes and off we went

Our children aka the stuffed animals were stacked at our feet. I look over at Dre to see a huge smile etched on his lips which in turn made me smile. The wind blows in my hair as the ride goes fast twisting and turning on the track, i raise my hand and belt out a scream.

"Oh my gosh i haven't felt this good in years" i say as the ride goes up.

We reached the top and the ride stopped giving everyone some time to take in the scenery. I could see the entire carnival grounds and beyond the horizon. Beautiful lights adorned the night provided by both the carnival lights and the moon and stars in the sky. My eyes locked with Dre's, he had a smile on his face as his eyes glistened under the moonlight. I scooted closer leaning my head on his chest and wrapping my arms around his middle. He placed his arms around me and kissed the top of my head as we continued to look out at the lights.

This. This is perfect, this is what I've been waiting for all my life, this feeling that has been hidden away for so long. It might have took years of torture for me to get here but i would endure it all over again if it meant I'd be right here in Dre's arms.

"Cat" dre says after a few minutes of silence

"Yes"

"I have something to ask"

"What is it?" I say

"Well... its uhm... i uh. You see"

"Dre you can ask me anything" i cut off his rambling

"Ok" he breathes out

"Cat will you do me the absolute honor of becoming my mate. I know you've only been rejected for a few months and it may still hurt and if this is too soon then i understand but i would love it if you would be my mate. I've never felt anything like this before in my life not even with emelia, and i know what i feel for you is strong and I'll never feel that way about anyone else in my existence" he rants

I stop him by sealing our lips in a sweet passionate and electrifying kiss.

"I would love to be your mate Andreas" i say after we pulled away

"Really?" He says eyes wide

"Of course" i say with a smile

"Oh my gosh this is so great. And we don't even have to like do the whole mating thing yet I'll gladly wait until you're ready"

"Agreed" i smile

Immediately the ride starts moving again and Dre puts his hand in the air and scream

"Whoooooo!!!"

I chuckle at his silliness but starts screaming as well

This is the best date ever, even though i have nothing to compare it to, and even if i did it would still be the best, I'll always remember this day.

After another lap around the track the ride slows down and comes to a stop at the pier. We picked up our stuffed animals and got off the ride. Checking my watch again i see its already fifteen minutes til ten.

"Alright missy lets get you home you have school tommorow" dre says as he struggled to hold three of the five stuffed animals.

We started our journey back to the car, when we reached the gate i heard a little girl's voice say

"But mommy i wanted a teddy"

"I know sweetheart but unfortunately you didn't win any and we only had enough money for a few tries" her mother says

"But i promised jessica I'd win her a teddy so she won't be sad again" the little girl insists

"I'm sorry sweetheart, and jessica will understand. Now come on we have to go"

Looking them both over with my demon eyes i could understand why the mom looked so stressed and the daughter was so sad. Before they could walk away i gave dre my panda and the tiger he got me then grabbed the three stuffed animals from him and said

"Hi excuse me" the lady and her daughter stoped and turned around to face me

"Yes, how may i help you" the lady asks

"I couldn't help but to hear your conversation with your daughter and if its ok with you I'd like to give her these. You see i won a lot of games and i don't need that much stuffed toys so she'd have better use of them than me"

"Wow really?" The little girl says

"Yes, really and now you'll have a stuffed animal to give jessica" i tell her

"Thank you thank you thank you. Thank you so much" she says giving me a hug

"You're most welcome sweetie"

"Wow i don't know what to say you're so kind thank you" the lady says

"Oh it was nothing. By the way you're a nurse right?"

"I was, i lost my job a few months ago after the hospital i worked at went bankrupt"

"You live around here?"

"No I'm from Mayberry, we came here for the carnival to celebrate my daughter's birthday" she tells me

"Mayberry, that's the town in the opposite direction of salt springs right"

"Yeah we live close to the border of mayberry and salt springs"

Making a card appear in my pocket i pull it out and handed it to the woman saying

"Here take this, call the number and tell them the CEO's gave you the number i guarantee they'll hire you"

"What!? Really"

"My word is my bond ma'am" i tell her

"Thank you so much, oh you must be an angel sent from the heavens to bless us"

More like the princess of hell but whatever

"There's no need to thank me you just continue looking after this little cutie right here and always keep that smile on her face"

"You have my word"

"Ok then i wish you all a wonderful night i have to get going, I've got school in the morning"

"Bye and thanks again" they wave as i walk away

With a smile on my face i walk over to Dre and took my panda from him and we continued our journey to the car

"That was a really nice thing you did back there" he comments

"It was nothing"

"Don't be so modest, besides i have a feeling those stuff toys will change more than just the lives of those two"

"So you saw what i saw too?" I ask

"Yeah" he shakes his head

"Well am just glad that little girl is happy every little girl needs their mom and I'm glad i could help her keep on to hers longer" i say as he drove off the beach

"Yeah and if your mom was here she'd be very proud of you" Dre says looking over at me

"Thanks Dre"

"No problem babe, now lets go home"
