You Go On And I'll Be Happier

The First Date || Balthazar & Marie

Balthazar hadn’t expected Marie to actually accept his offer of going out on a date. Every time she appeared on the dash he found himself captivated by the colour of her hair and the exquisite paleness of her skin. Her voice was charming and he’d been listening to the songs she posted on and off for the past day. He dressed in a tight black designer t shirt, black jeans and his black leather jacket, slicked his hair back and went to her house to pick her up. He knocked on her door three times and stuck his hands in his jacket pockets while he waited for her to answer. 

He was right on time, bringing a smile to Marie's face as she turned of the tv and skipped to the door. She pulled it open with a big smile and laughed as she had to crane her neck up to look at him. " Hi, wow. You are really tall. Well it's nice to meet you in person. It's the first time I've went out with someone I've met over the internet, this is really interesting. You look great though. Oh God, I'm talking way too much." she laughed, putting her hands over her face for a moment to blush. " Sorry. Would you like to come in for anything, or do you want to just head out." she smiled. He was really attractive. Even more so in person. It had been a while since Marie had been on a date since she was so into her music. She felt like she would have a good time with him as long as she didn't ramble.

#So lovely

I am always up for it. How about you come to my place, I’ll cook you a late meal? 

Ah, yes. You did mention that you're a good cook. Well I think that's a great idea! Should be fun.

#So lovely

I have no further plans. I don’t have another shift until the day after tomorrow. 

Well that sounds perfect. I have nothing to do either and I think my band is pretty sick of me so I could use someone to hang out with for a while. You up for it?

#So lovely

Yes, it was a thing. And very interesting. That work shift was good, it was relatively quiet. 

I''l bet. So what about tonight? Did you have any plans or do you have another shift to rest up for?

#So lovely

I had a shift at the clinic and then a date with Bill. Well, not really a date. More like a thing. 

Really? A thing huh? Sounds interesting. So work is going well then?

Hey guys!

Really? That’s awesome! I’m a singer too, so I’ll be performing as well, but if we filled a few more performance slots, that would amazing! It’s a charity event, all the proceeds from the guests will go to an organization for children’s cancer relief.

Yeah! I'm with Atlantic Records. I acutally remember your face from somewhere, I know I do. That's a fantastic idea. I love charity concerts, but it's been a while since I've done one. I would love to be part of it though. I'll have to speak to my manager and see what he can work out, but I'd love to come down and preform.

#So lovely

You're really too much. What have you been up too. Alpha?

#Incredibly beautiful.

 Aww, no need for envy, love. Maybe it’s like that now…but it can’t always be like that? I think…you’re only a rope if you let yourself be put on a rope. What’s stopping you from breaking that tether? I think you definitely should..it would be good to get away and to a place so rich and beautiful. It is pretty convenient, but then again, I chose my career..because I knew what I wanted to do, as surely you did? 

Well I probably made it sound a lot worse than it actually is. I love it, I really do and yes, it was my choice. I wouldn't want to be doing anything else, but I do wish I had more free time, you know? I may have to work things out so that I can. You make it sound way too goo to pass up.

Oh really? What's the event for? I happen to be a singer.

#Incredibly beautiful.

Nah, you’re definitely too sweet. I think I can manage that for you..but you should take a break sometime, might be good for your creativity, never know. I do have a decent enough life, I won’t deny that. Well, I’ve never been to Bora Bora and I’ve yet to go to Thailand. There are a few other places too, I’m sure. I’m always finding something. 

Oh stop. I'm just envious of you right now. I am a bird with a rope on it's foot at times. I fly away as far as I can but there is still someone holding me down on the other end. Thailand seems like it's beautiful and full of culture. I might take a break once I'm done recording and go. There are a lot of places I want to go too. Even when I was touring, I hardly got to see any sights. It's really convenient that you get to travel for your job the way you do. Jealous....

#Incredibly beautiful.

You’re far too sweet. I’ll be posting some definitely while I’m away, I’d be happy to show them to you. I understand that…sometimes I can get caught up in my own head as well. Not quite every where, definitely a few places I haven’t seen yet. 

You think? I think I'm just sweet enough. Kidding, but yes, please do. I don't get the time to do it myself so I want to live through you. You seem like you have an amazing life. I mean, I know nobody's life is perfect, but the grass is always greener and your grass looks really green. What other place do you plan on going to?

#Just beautiful..

I would never get tired of saying it. I’m doing well, how are you?

Too dam charming. I can't even begin to wrap my head around it. I'm doing great. I'm taking a little break, so I though I'd see what was going on tonight around here. What have you been up to?

#Incredibly beautiful.

Well, thank you…I like to think I am too for the most part. I mean, I get to travel all over and I do what I love for a living, pretty sweet deal I have going on. Oh trust me, there will be plenty of pictures. That’s good, happy to hear that. It’s always nice when you’re inspired. Ah, I’m a photographer, actually. I work for The Times and National Geographic. 

Are you kidding me? Handsome, well traveled, cool, you're very lucky. And I hope you send some of those photos my way, Mr. fancy photographer! I remember you telling me that now. Sometimes I have way to much going on up there. But yeah, pretty sweet indeed. You must be walking on air all the time. You've been everywhere, haven't you? I would love to be able to travel that much.
