As Adrien agreed to take Ghita out to dinner. Adrien went into his house and pulled out a dress. Wait are you asking me to wear this dress? That dress you were working on in your spare time. Adrien is that a dress you have been making? Ghita asked. Guilty. Adrien replied. Wait, how did you get my measurements? Ghita asked. When I put in my bed I used a tape measured you then. Adrien replied. Ghita stares at Adrien. Before your freak, I didn't defile you by any means. Adrien replied. I know you wouldn't try anything without my permission. Ghita replied. Adrien smiles. I will try the dress on. As my mom tried on the dress. She walked outside and we were shocked. The beautiful short strapless rouge cocktail dress was stunning on her. It was the first time in forever I saw my mom happy with a little confidence behind it. Mom, that dress is beautiful. What heels and clutch are you wearing with that? I asked. Gaby, I have some at the house. No you don't, you gave them away to charity before we left. I replied. Your right Gaby. Ghita replied. Adrien hovers behind Ghita's shoulder with his credit card. Time to go on a little shopping spree, I see. Adrien replied. Ghita looks at his credit card. I can't say no, can I? Ghita asked. Adrien laughs and smiles. Ghita smiles. Uncle Adrien is this the happiness you desire? I thought. After my mom took off her dress, Uncle Adrien drove my mom and I home. As my mom and I arrived at home, Uncle Adrien came in to the house and sat down on the couch. My mom went to take a shower. I sat down and took my lavender ombré wireless earbuds out my purse into my ears. All of sudden, a song of my *Midnight Poppyland Playlist came on. I don't know why but it's the feeling that is in the air. It was *Wrong Places by H.E.R from that one show. The chorus came on and ran to my room. I pulled out my laptop and started writing in the floor. Hey Gaby what are you writing about? Adrien asked. I feel inspiration to write the love story. I have no exact name though. I wrote down these titles. I replied. Let me see the names? Adrien asked. He looks at the names. The Romance of the Unfortunate Girl or The Woman who dreams of Romance. What about the name, Uncle Adrien? I asked. I think "The Romance of the Unfortunate Girl" will fit perfectly, Gaby. Adrien asked. As my mom walked downstairs Uncle Adrien was stunned at her outfit. She was wearing a cute cream v-cut shirt bodysuit and cyan skinny jeans and pale brown flats. Let's go Adrien. Ghita replied. Alright. Adrien replied. As they walked out the door, I felt something good and bad was going to transpire tonight.As they went shopping everyone thought they were couple. That night, Uncle Adrien got his chance. I feel it. At the restaurant, he chose a secluded section to have dinner. Adrien, I am happy I agreed to go. Ghita replied. I am surprised you agreed after your whole independent phase. Adrien replied. No, it just takes one dumb mistake to make you cautious about everything. Ghita replied. Ghita started having a flashback. Your thinking about what Aline and Hadrien did? Adrien asked. Ghita glares. Hey Ghita who are you glaring at? Adrien asked. Adrien adverted his eyes and saw Aline and Hadrien with a group of people. Tonight is that dinner? Adrien asked. What are you talking about? My brothers and their families have a diner. Adrien replied. So you mean children too? Ghita asked. Ghita smiled. Hadrien felt a chill down his spine. Hey Hadrien are you ok man? Omer asked. I don't know why but I felt as if Ghita is here. Hadrien replied. Talking about other women in front of Aline? Bruno asked. She was that poor girl right? Marie-Laure asked. Yeah she wasn't that pretty. Mégane replied. Is that Adrien? Stephen asked. My little bro, Adrien? Yves asked. Yves texted Adrien. I thought you said no to the dinner but your here at the dinner spot? Adrien texts Yves 😒. Hey Adrien is that Yves texting you? Ghita asked. I don't even want to talk to him or my family. Adrien replied. As fifteen minutes passed, the server came back with their food. Uh Master Adrien, your family is over there trying to make contact with you. Sergio replied. I have to go to the restroom, Adrien. Ghita replied. As Ghita walked off, she ran into Aline and Marie-Laure on the way to the restroom. Ghita, it's been sixteen years since we've seen you. What brings you back? Marie-Laure asked. Ghita looked at the two and adverted her eyes to the Ladies restroom.Sergio, tonight is my night of quietness. Adrien replied. As Ghita walked back to her seat, she was livid with Aline and Marie-Laure. They walked by their table. You know Adrien, you should join us. Aline asked. That's kind of you Aline but I have no true reason to come. Adrien replied. Well Hadrien's hunch was right. Ghita is here and all prettified. Marie-Laure replied. In the past, I would have *aired you out and put you two on front street. Tonight, I will show my benevolence. Ghita replied. She smiles. Ghita is looking calm but under all that she's livid. Adrien thought. Hadrien walks over. Ghita. Hadrien replied. Hadrien. Ghita replied with a blank stare. Adrien, I thought you denied the invitation. Hadrien replied. Adrien holds the bridge of his nose. Ghita looks at the food. Oh I'm sorry, Adrien. We should leave them alone. Hadrien replied. Aline and Marie-Laure walk off. Hadrien texted Adrien. Give her a night to remember. Do something for her that I could not. You deserve to see her smile and hold her hand. Hadrien texted. What did he text you? Ghita asked. He actually sent me something useful. Adrien replied. He smiles. After that, the two had a splendid night and great dinner. As they were on the balcony of the restaurant looking out in the moonlit sky. Adrien, did you try to make this perfect? Ghita asked. Adrien sighed. At that moment, the infatuation he feels starts to grow. Adrien, listen to me. Ghita replied. She looks Adrien in the eyes. Your petty sister and that woman will never make my blood boil like in the past. Ghita replied. You know Ghita, my brother hurt you in more ways than one. It shows so much in your actions. Adrien replied. Ghita starts cry uncontrollably. Adrien hugs Ghita. It's ok to cry, Ghita. Adrien replied. She looks Adrien in the eyes. Adrien looks into her beautiful Chartreuse green eyes flooded with tears. A car radio passed by *Wrong Places played in someone's car radio. Adrien and Ghita shared a kiss. As Adrien hugs her she feels his warm and gentle touch.I felt something amazing transpired in the madness. That night my mom didn't come home.
Stay Tuned.
