Chapter 112: Chapter 112
Ian's POV
"Why did you even have to bring me here?" Belle complained upon entering my pad.
I went all the way to her house and brought her here with me.
"Anyway, how did you even know my house? Are you stalking me or what?"
I walked over to her. "Enough questions now, okay? Just an hour from now and we'll finally going to have our double date with Winter and her stupid boyfriend."
"Don't call him stupid!"
"Right, right. I forgot that you're his biggest fan. Anyway, we need to hurry up now. Five minutes from now and some stylists are going to show up here to dress you up. "
She looked at me with furrowed brows. "Dress me up? Hey, do you really think I don't know how to dress myself up?"
I eyed her from her head to her feet. "Well, I'm not saying that you're a lame dresser, but I guess your choices when it comes to color coordination don't really go well."
"W-What?"
"You know, Winter knows exactly what type of woman I would likely date. If we don't get help from professionals whenever we're having a double date with them, she would probably suspect us even more."
She rolled her eyes and sat down on the couch. "You're taking everything too seriously. For sure they won't even care about our clothes. What they will surely focus on is the way we interact with each other whenever we're in front of them."
"Ah, just stop giving me your words of wisdom now."
Just as she was about to speak again, my doorbell dinged, so I glanced at her before walking towards my door. "The stylists are already here, be ready."

"For sure, you'll be surprised about how she looks now, Matthew. You'll even fall in love with her!" Kristen, one of the stylists that I contacted, said to me as soon as they were done dressing Belle up.
I just gave him a smile. "Really? Then that's great."
As if there is actually someone who could be more beautiful than Winter.
"And... here she is."
I raised my head and turned my gaze to the stairs. My eyes widened upon seeing Belle and I couldn't help but stand up while watching her walk down the stairs. She was wearing a red tube dress that falls down to her knees and her hair was permed I could barely recognize her from the woman I brought here a while ago.
She was smiling at me while walking down, so I couldn't help but smile at her too.
"You look beautiful." I whispered while she was standing in front of me.
"Thanks, although I don't feel really good wearing this dress. I think it's a bit uh... revealing?" she frowned.
I just chuckled and reached out my hand to her. "Shall we go to our date now?"
"As if we have a choice," She said, then held my hand, too.
Winter's POV
"Do you think it's alright if I wear this one? Or should I change to a different one?" I asked Matthew while we were inside my dressing room. He was already dressed up and just waiting for me to finish.
"I think that's enough already. You look beautiful in every dress you wear, anyway."
I frowned at him. "Can you at least give me an honest comment? Like, tell me if you think the color doesn't suit me or what."
"Why? I'm already telling the truth. Everything looks good on you."
"Alright, then I'll change to a different one."
After trying out five different dresses and showing it to him, he still gave me the same comments and told me it suits me. In the end, I decided by myself and just wore a baby blue halter neck dress and tied my hair up.
"How about this?" I asked him again.
Matthew stood up and walked over to me. "I know this might sound annoying to you, but you really look dashing in that dress. And your hair, it suits you."
I put my arms around his shoulders and pulled him close to me. "Since you look so handsome in your suit, I'll believe you. Now, can I get a kiss?"
"Sure."
Matthew put his hands on my waist and started moving his face closer to mine. He was about to kiss me, but then the door went open and Elisse came running towards us.
"Mommy, Daddy!"
Matthew moved away from me and knelt down to meet Elisse's height. "Have you eaten dinner already?"
"Yes. Are you going now, Daddy? Can I come with you?"
I also stooped down and patted her head. "We're truly sorry, baby. But we'll be going on a double date with your uncle Ian and Aunt Belle. It will take us quite a long time, so we're afraid that might just bore you. Also, only adults are aloud to go there."
"Mommy is right. But don't worry, we'll surely buy something for you before we go home."
"I understand, mommy and daddy. Just make sure to take care. Okay?"
Matthew and I nodded our heads and kissed her on both of her cheeks. "Okay. Also, you need to go to bed early."
After saying goodbye to Elisse, we finally decided to go to the restaurant where we all planned to have a double date in.
When we arrived in the restaurant, Belle and Ian were already there. They stopped talking and stood up upon seeing us.
"Matthew, Winter."
"Oh, you guys look so good together. Belle, I mean, you're stunning that I didn't even recognize you immediately." I said with a smile on my face.
She gave me a faint smile. "And you look as beautiful as ever. No wonder, Matthew likes you so much."
"Did you just arrive here? Should we order some food now?" Matthew asked as we all sat down.
"S-Sure."
I was just watching every movement and interaction between Belle and Ian as we go on with our double date.
"So, Belle, do you know many things about Ian now? I mean, you just met each other for quite a while and started your relationship recently. Did you discover something about him that you think is unique and astounding?" I started throwing questions at belle as if we were on a talk show.
Although she didn't seem nervous, I saw how she got surprised by my sudden question. "W-Well, I think what's astounding about him is...uh..."
"What?"
She had to glance at Ian again before looking at me. "Uh... well, I discovered that he's actually a big-eater."
"W-What?" Ian widened his eyes at her which made me burst into a laughter.
"You're right. This dude is really a big-eater."
Belle nodded her head awkwardly. "Right. I found that astounding since we both know that he is a celebrity. And I think, most celebrities force themselves to eat moderately and even starve themselves just so they wouldn't get fat. But Ian is different, he eats a lot and doesn't even care about his figure."
"Of course, I still care about my health and figure. But you know, I just don't easily get fat that's why it's fine even if I continue eating a huge amount of food."
"How about you, Ian. What did you discover about your beloved girlfriend?" he was the one I asked this time.
He leaned on his chair and stared at Belle with endearing eyes. "Well, I just discovered that she's not really interested in fashion or anything that has something to do with it. She's not like other girls who always worry about what dress to wear or how they would look. That made me surprised and astounded by her."
Matthew and I nodded our heads as we listen to them talk. I was about to ask some questions again, but Ian cut me off and asked me instead. "How about you guys, you've been living with each other under the same roof for quite a while now, for sure you discovered so many things about each other."
"Huh?"
Matthew and I looked at each other. We didn't really expect them to ask us, too. But of course, they will. It would be unfair if we're just the ones who keep on asking questions.
"Well, there's a lot that I discovered about Matthew aside from he's a good kisser."
All of them widened their eyes upon hearing what I just said. I smiled when I saw how Matthew's ears turned bright red.
"Oh, that's too personal. Come on, don't tell me you're also going to share us how good he is in bed." Ian joked.
"O-Of course, not. We haven't done anything like that, yet."
"Winter." I heard Matthew say as if asking me to stop already.
I just smiled at him and faced Belle and Ian again. "I discovered that he gets too shy and flushed whenever I compliment him in front of other people. He also doesn't like it whenever I ask him to kiss me in public."
"That's right. He doesn't really like those kinds of things. He's so professional at all times." Belle suddenly commented.
