"Hi- Wow!" Arthur was waiting in front of Emily's house, which was a door next to the restaurant and gave direct access to the house. He greeted her but was shocked by her appearance.
She was just flawless. Wearing a black off-the-shoulder top, sleeves reaching to her elbows, it accentuated her bust and left her shoulders and perfect skin on display. A flowered flared skirt just above the knees felt refreshing and paired nicely with the top. Arthur couldn't help but look at her legs and really barely looked away. On her perfect feet, a simple but modern sandal graced them.
She was wearing a thin necklace and at the end of it there was something like a little crystal star. In her ears, a pair of simple gold earrings were also there. Her hair was down and the golden color enhances her beauty. A small black bag was also slung over her shoulder by a golden cord.
She wasn't wearing much makeup, just her eyelashes and lips. Still, and she looked just gorgeous, putting on more makeup would only spoil it.
"Hi!" Emily replied shyly, seeing Arthur looking at her like a fool. A smile formed on her rosy lips as she blushed.
"H-Hi, again! So I think I came to the wrong address…" Arthur spoke after choking a little. A smile was on his lips as he looked at Emily.
"Why?" Emily turned her little head, confused.
"I was hoping to date a human but I ended up in heaven looking for an angel!" Arthur replied seriously. This made it a bit funnier but still made Emily blush deeply.
"Silly!" She patted Arthur on the shoulder.
"What time are you going to bring my daughter?" Emily's mother's voice sounded behind her. Maria was dressed in simple house clothes and wearing a dressing gown over it.
"Anytime you want!" Arthur smiled politely at Maria. He had already realized that she was the kind of person who liked to be treated like that.
"11pm, maximum midnight. If it's too late, I'll call the police. Got it?" She replied lightly and liked the way Arthur treated her.
"You can rest easy. As long as I'm with her, nothing bad will happen!" Arthur placed his hands on Emily's back and again spoke politely.
"Really good. I'll wait for you at that time!" Maria said as she closed the door and went inside.
"So, shall we walk?" Arthur asked Emily. He couldn't help but take a deeper look at her face, and he felt something inside him that he immediately suppressed.
"I think so, don't you? But I'll still enjoy the walk!" Emily smiled at Arthur not to worry about that. After all, he's the one who asked her to accompany him on the walk, since she could have gone with her brother.
"So let's go!" Arthur waited for her and the two began to walk deeper into the shopping area. Near the center was the mall they were going to.
Walking side by side, the two looked like a beautiful couple, and Emily unconsciously moved closer to Arthur.
After walking a bit, they came to a small commotion ahead.
"Damn, look at that car!!" A young man shouted excitedly.
"My dream of consumption this GT500. Since it launched I've fallen in love. That's a fucking car!" Another also said.
Some girls also took turns taking pictures in the car. It looked like they were all together too and stopped to look at the car. Those hours weren't so busy, but a lot of people went to the mall at that time.
"Wow, what a cool car!" Emily said as she looked at the car.
"Do you want to take a picture?" Arthur asked with a suggestive smile.
"N-no, I don't think so! Imagine if the owner shows up. I'm going to be embarrassed!" Emily denied it as her eyes lingered on the car.
"I don't think the owner will complain, let's go! I'll take it for you." Arthur spoke firmly to Emily.
"So ok..." Emily said while blushing. She really wanted to, but she was too embarrassed to do it.
She positioned herself near the back of the car. When she was like that, she really gave a nicer profile.
People who were already taking pictures and talking about the car next door, especially the boys, looked at Emily while drooling.
"She's beautiful..." One of the boys was almost hypnotized, if not for a slap he received from his girlfriend next door.
"Idiot!" The girlfriend spoke angrily.
The other boys didn't dare say anything, but they still looked at Emily with fire in their eyes. The girls, on the other hand, looked on with envy at her angelic appearance.
Arthur had taken Emily's cell phone to take the pictures, and he was looking at her right now.
"Won't you take it?" She asked when she noticed Arthur looking at her.
"I have a better idea, come on!" Arthur pulled her hand gently and walked to the front of the car. Emily blushed as she felt her hand being held by Arthur, and still so well, but she didn't stop him. He asked for her bag and put it on his shoulder.
"Lean on the car with both hands and looks to the side." Arthur told her. As the car was under a light pole, the lighting would make a nice show and make for a good photo.
"B-but what if the owner comes??" Emily asked worriedly.
"No problem, it's quick!" He spoke to her.
Emily nodded and leaned back as Arthur said. Taking some pictures, Arthur realized that Emily would be a star if she was a model.
"I don't think it's enough... I know! Want to take some pictures inside the car?" Arthur smiled at Emily as he approached her.
His voice was loud enough to make people close to him laugh, especially the boys who were jealous of Arthur.
"Who is this idiot thinking? The owner of the car?"
"It's every poor man's dream, I think you better not spoil the mood. He might even cry!"
"Who doesn't do everything to please a girl, huh? I think he'll go around looking for the owner!" The people around him laughed heartily.
"Like we could, huh-" Emily said with a grateful smile as she took out her cell phone and looked at the photo. She also liked that Arthur cared so much about her. But when she was talking, the roar of the engine got in the way.
"Sorry, I didn't hear what you said..." Arthur said as he lifted the keys. "Surprise!"
"You, you…what do you mean?" Emily was instantly confused.
"Let's go!" Arthur took her hand gently and led her to the passenger seat door.
Under everyone's astonished gaze, he opened the doors of the gorgeous sports car and ushered the confused Emily inside. Then he turned around and smiled at the audience that had been mocking him earlier.
He got into the car and accelerated away, leaving everyone shocked.
"Is this... is this your car??" Emily, who was sitting and looking at Arthur, asked still shocked.
"No, I stole the keys from a pot-bellied drunk and I knew it was from that car..." Arthur spoke seriously as he looked at her, but he couldn't take it anymore and smiled at her.
"Idiot!" Emily again patted Arthur on the shoulder. She finally relaxed into the comfortable seat. Admiring the entire interior of the car, her eyes fell on Arthur again and she smiled like an angel.
Arthur at that moment looked at her and his heart almost stopped beating.
"If you keep looking at me like that I'll fall in love..." He said as he looked away.
"If you keep treating me like that, I'll fall in love too!" Emily had the courage to speak as she blushed a lot. Her face almost all turned red.
"Do you want to have fun?" Arthur asked suddenly.
"More so?" Emily corrected him.
"Yes!" Arthur nodded.
"Then of course I do!"
"Buckle up and get ready!" Arthur looked at the nearly deserted street in front of them. He slowed down for Emily to get ready..
As soon as she strapped on, Arthur's foot slammed down on the accelerator.

Entering the mall's main entrance (for cars and bikes) and attracting everyone's attention, Arthur drove the car to the underground parking lot and parked there. He had the parking ticket in his inventory.
He went out and went to the door to get Emily, but she had already opened the door and left.
"You don't have to be so polite..." She spoke to him while blushing. She was blushing from the speed they were going down that street. The roar of the engine, the rapid heartbeat, the danger of being caught, all this sent adrenaline rushing through Emily's blood, who had never experienced any of this.
"I have to treat a princess like one, don't you think?" Arthur spoke as he closed the door.
Emily flushed even more and walked beside Arthur to the elevator where they would meet the other two girls.
Alone in a space like this while they waited to get to the right floor, Emily stood by Arthur's side. He noticed and turned to her and began to smooth her hair, tucking one part behind her ear and leaving the other loose.
Emily blushed, but let Arthur have his way. She took the opportunity to get a good look at Arthur and her heart beat faster.
'He really is very handsome...'
Arthur realized this and was increasingly comfortable with her. That's because she didn't seem to react very abnormally after learning the car was his. It showed that she wasn't a gold digger who would start flattering him and offering herself for it. She was still treating him the same and the two were getting closer in a healthy way.
As soon as the doors opened, they straightened up and headed out to the food court at the mall.
