The Final Date - Cleo & Alex

After her other dates Cleo had first gone to the suite to change into a soft blue flowy summer dress. Her hair was loosely braided down her back. She was terribly nervous, she didn’t think her heart could beat any faster. But she was excited too, excited for the future, excited for Alex.

She stepped into the pod and took a deep breath. She spotted the leather jacket and bit her, smiling brightly. She moved over to it, her fingers gliding along the leather before she picked it up and brought it to her face, breathing in the smell she was now growing to expect.

She giggled ever so softly and slipped the jacket on before spotting the note. She read through it with a beaming smile but frowned when she got to the end. Where was the rest of it?

“I’m here.” She answer when be called. “Hi.” She said, clearly breathless.

Cleo couldn't stop smiling and walked over to the glass as he spoke, chuckling girlishly when he called himself a 'snarky little shit'. She chuckled again at his request and put her hand on the glass, knocking on it softly before she did so he would know she was there. She sniffed as tears began to fall.

"Alex, I really wasn't sure about this whole thing when I got here, but every interaction with you has only made me fall in love with you more and more each day. I love you and yes, I would love to marry you." She said, half laughing and half crying.

Cleo jumped a bit, startled by the sudden noise but as Alex laughed and then explained she couldn’t help but join in the laughter. “Are you okay?” She asked through her laughter.

She squealed with girlish delight at his realization as it hit her too. “Oh my gosh!!!” There were several soft thuds in the floor as she jumped up and down in her joy. “I can’t believe it!!”

She squealed again in her excitement. “Yes I’m jumping! Why aren’t you jumping?!” She teased right back. “Well if it makes you feel better I’m also worried about living up to your expectations of what I look like. But I’m so in love with you that while I think you’re going to be so damn hot, it hardly even matter. I love you for you, not your gorgeous face.”

She picked up the glass as he asked her and moved back to the window. She touched her cheeks briefly to try and settle herself. “Yes! To us, Lover.” She said, touching the edge of the glass to the glass wall before taking a sip.

After a minute she laughed again, unable to stop. “I’m so happy! I can’t wait to see you!”
