Dinner at 7// Cleo&Gus

[elliotxgoldy-deactivated2016061]

Cleo’s head snapped towards her purse at the sound of the buzz, rummaging through it she took her phone out. Smiling at the message, she sent back a, ‘I’ll try. x’. When she heard the sound of a knock at her door, she immediately got up to open it. “Hi.” She smiled, “You look even better than I do.”

Gus, was looking around, scratching at his neck as he waited for the door to open. He turned to the door, and smiled at the sight of the girl. “Ugh hey,.” He chuckled awkwardly, clearing his throat a little. Oh this?” He asked looking down at him. “I literally just threw this on. I mean not like, carelessly, like I obviously care about my looks because like you’re gonna judge me based off of it, but I- Oh my god shut up, Gus.” He muttered the last part to himself, to get himself to stop rambling. “You look really nice, though. Much better than my awkwardness.”

Dinner at 7// Cleo&Gus

[elliotxgoldy-deactivated2016061]

Cleo began to stuff her purse with necessities. Checking her phone to see if Gus had texted her back. Maybe he had decided he didn’t want to do this anymore. Or maybe he realized how plain she was, ‘or maybe I should stop thinking.’ Cleo thought. Sometimes it’s good to be nervous, then you know how much something means to you. But sometimes it takes out all the confidence you had and you end up messing up what meant so much to you. Either way Cleo was determined not to mess this date up.

As he ran, it occurred to him that he hadn't replied to Cleo, so he used his phone's voice command to text her as he ran to her building. "I'm on my way, don't worry. :)" he smiled as it sent and he kept running. When he was two blocks away he slowed his running so it didn't seem as though he had been making a mad dash to get to her. That and he'd be all sweaty, and boy that wasn't a sight he wanted Cleo to see. Once he got to her place, he knocked, huffing slightly as he stood waiting.

“I won’t seem as much as a dime as you claim I am.”

“That’s probably a lie to get me to try harder.”

Dinner at 7// Cleo&Gus

Cleo sighed as she ruffled her hair a bit. Still considering if she should do something different, finally she had chosen to put her hair into a messy side braid. She was nervous to say the least, she hadn’t been on a date since her ex. And this was a bit risky, considering what could happen. But sometimes it’s worth the risk.

Straightening out her dress, she texted Gus informing him that she was indeed ready. Grabbing her white flats to go with the white and blue dress. She smiled as she looked at herself in the mirror, her makeup was simple not too much. Twirling as she giggled, Cleo was happy that she had agreed to this date. Nothing was going to go wrong.

Gus wasn’t typically super confident in himself but once he had moved, he decided to change that. Before he knew it he had a date on a Sunday night, with a stunning girl. He hadn’t been very strong in going on dates because he was an awkward mess most times, and was super corny, and most girls, well they weren’t looking for that. 

After making a mess of his room he laid on his floor, not sure at all what to wear. In any other day, he wouldn’t care what he was wearing, but this was for a date. He couldn’t just slap on some jeans and a t-shirt. He also didn’t want to be seen as a slob, god why was this so difficult? He heard his phone make a sound to notify someone had texted him, and saw Cleo’s name show up. “Shit, c’mon Gus pull yourself together.” He pulled on a light blueish gray t-shirt, a pocket on the chest,before pulling on jeans, and his boots after rolling the bottoms up a little bit. He tugged on a watch and some bracelets on both wrists before checking his hair, and running out the door.

cleoxalonso:

“Do not test me Gussie.”

“And if I do?”

[its-not-augustus]

cleoxalonso:

“Cleopatra? Makes me feel like royalty. I’ll see you later Gus.”

“That was the goal. I will see you lady m’lady.”

[its-not-augustus]

cleoxalonso:

“I hope not. That’s what I call being naughty.”

“I call it being fun spirited.”

[elliotxgoldy-deactivated2016061]

“You sure? Okay then, Gus I will gladly go for dinner with you.”

[its-not-augustus]

“Bullseye. Can’t wait Cleopatra.” 

[its-not-augustus]

cleoxalonso:

“Is that you being sarcastic Gus?”

“Maybe, maybe not.”

[its-not-augustus]

cleoxalonso:

“Well I would be classified as insane if I even thought of rejecting you. But I can’t possibly make you pay, I eat quite a lot.”

“Oh I agree. No, no, no. I’m paying.”

[its-not-augustus]

cleoxalonso:

“I hope so too. Thank you, it only took all of my seductive powers but you ate it. Finally.”

“Oh of course. That’s totally how it ended up in my mouth.”

[its-not-augustus]

cleoxalonso:

“I try. But seriously Gus, I know absolutely nothing about you.”

“I think we should fix that. How about you learn more at dinner, at 7. On me. And I tell you I’ll be quite ashamed if you reject me.”

[its-not-augustus]

cleoxalonso:

“Well I did want you to eat my cookie. But I guess talking to you wasn’t a total waste.”

“I hope it stays that way. These are actually really good by they way.”

[its-not-augustus]

cleoxalonso:

“You know I used to be told that my greatest gift to the world was my beauty. Like I literally thought I was just good for my looks. But instead I’m flirting with a cute guy I literally just met. Which I guess is much better then what I could be doing.”

“Well we both know that’s not true, because your cookies are the shit.”

[elliotxgoldy-deactivated2016061]

“Gus. You have a nice smile and you still haven’t eaten my cookie.”

[its-not-augustus]

“Was this all a ploy to get me to eat your cookie? It was, wasn’t it?” 

[its-not-augustus]

cleoxalonso:

“I actually would have awkwardly yelled rape and backed away. I’m a bit of an awkward person at times. Which is probably why I can’t seem to get this flirting thing right.”

“Glad to see you didn’t. I don’t know, you’re doing a pretty decent job right now.” 

[elliotxgoldy-deactivated2016061]

“Is this the part where I say you have a nice smile?”

[its-not-augustus]

“In this story I think so.”
