Chapter 634: Getting Ready For A Movie Date
In the soft glow of the evening light, a young man with long, flowing white hair tied back in a loose ponytail stood before his mirror, adjusting his casual attire. His silver eyes, shimmering like moonlit lakes, reflected a blend of excitement and ease. He had a lean and toned body, now comfortably dressed in a well-fitted, casual t-shirt and a pair of jeans. As he laced up his sneakers, he thought of his girlfriend and the simple joy of sharing a movie together at the cinema. It was just a normal date, but he felt a flutter of anticipation, knowing that any time spent with her was special.
It has been 2 months since Theo officially asked Ayia to be his girlfriend, and the more time he spent with her, the more he learned to love everything about her.
In the past two months, they had been on several dates where they had fun together. They talked and learned more about each other.
For example, Theo learned that Ayia was allergic to chickpeas, that Ayia knew how to play the piano, that Ayia loved watching trash movies especially trash horror movies, that Ayia loved to hold his hand whenever they were on a date and many other little details that he noticed.
And on that Monday night, the two of them were free as the restaurant was closed that night, so they decided to enjoy the night to have a date together.
Plus, the two unanimously decided to have fun that night after spending the whole weekend working.
Theo spent his weekend working during the day on several projects he had while Ayia helped him, and during the night they both had shifts at the restaurant. During the weekend nights the days, the restaurant receives the biggest public, so they were exhausted after working so much.
When they heard that the movie CrocShark IV was released last week, they didn't waste time before agreeing to watch it together that Monday night.
Theo climbed down the stairs as he waited for the agreed time that he combined with Ayia to pick her up. He also was waiting for Aurora to arrive home from school.
With the Club Festival nearer and nearer, Aurora has been arriving later than usual. She even went to school last Saturday and Sunday with the rest of the School Student Council to supervise the construction of the festival venue.
Theo let out a bright smile when he arrived in the living room and saw Maya and Angel sleeping soundly together.
Ever since Angel arrived at their house, Maya stuck with her new sibling as if they were inseparable. It seemed like she was aware that her new sibling was partially blind because Maya was extremely gentle with Angel, even when the of them played together. And Angel loved her new sibling as well, she was much more livelier and happy than when she was in the shelter.
Theo couldn't help but take a bunch of pictures of the two kitties together after seeing them sleeping so cutely.
His phone memory was filled with hundreds of pictures that he deemed 'to be too cute' to not record it down.
Some of the pictures he even posted in his private Raingram profile.
Not wanting to disturb the kitties, Theo left the living room and entered the kitchen where he had a glass of water.
Theo turned on the kitchen TV to kill time before he had to leave for his date. Coincidentally, the News Report for the local State TV had just started.
"City Celebrates Local Team's Success in National League: In our top story tonight, excitement is sweeping across Elffire City as the Athreen team advances to the semi-finals of the Sakura Cup Championship. The team's hard-fought victory last night against the Westside Warriors, with a final score of 4 to 3, has secured their place in the prestigious competition's finals matches. Fans flooded the streets in celebration, waving banners and honking car horns in a jubilant display of city pride as it has been more than 20 years since the team hadn't made it so far in the competition. Head Coach Michael Thompson praised the players for their relentless dedication and teamwork, expressing confidence that the team will manage to advance to the final match. The semi-final matches, which are set to happen in 2 weeks, have the entire city buzzing with anticipation."
'Oh, I didn't know that the local football team managed that. It would be nice to watch a football match at the stadium.' Theo thought as he heard the news report.
In his past life, he didn't have the money or the time to attend football matches, but in this new life, he wanted to live the best he could. And watching a football match sounded extremely fun!
"Elffire City Bids Farewell to Winter Season: As the city enjoys the last days of the winter season, residents are taking advantage of the mild weather before spring arrives. Local parks are filled with families enjoying winter sports like ice skating and sledding, while downtown businesses are hosting end-of-season sales and events to attract shoppers. The Metropolis Winter Festival, an annual event featuring ice sculptures, food stalls, and live performances, concluded this weekend with record attendance. City officials noted that the festival not only provided entertainment for residents but also boosted local tourism and business, making it a significant success."
'Oh, what a pity.' Theo thought when he heard that, 'We should have gone there. It would have been fun.'
He thought that but he knew that the chances of that happening were minimal. Lately, everyone he knew has been extremely busy with work or school, even on the weekends. So, it would have been hard to find a time in the weekend where everyone could meet.
Theo shook his head helplessly, but he didn't fret over it. He knew that everyone was busy, but he also knew that everyone was busy because they loved what they were doing. "Bluecorn State University Unveils Innovative Environmental Project: In other news, Bluecorn University has launched an innovative environmental project aimed at reducing the city's carbon footprint. The project, spearheaded by the university's Department of Environmental Science, involves the installation of green roofs on campus buildings to promote energy efficiency and biodiversity. The initiative includes extensive research on sustainable urban development and partnerships with local businesses to expand green roofing throughout the city. Dr. Emily Carter, the project lead, highlighted the potential long-term benefits for the community, including reduced energy costs and improved air quality. The project has garnered national attention, positioning Metropolis as a leader in environmental innovation and sustainability."
It was during the latest report that Sylph warned Theo that Aurora had arrived, and with visitors.
