still the one! --saoirse

[elijah noah parker]

Today was the day. Elijah Noah Parker was actually going on a real date. He had never been on one nonetheless had a legit crush on a girl. He was usually the kid who became friends with everyone and never really got the girl. Everyone in the band had been bugging him to finally find someone. He was an eighteen year old who had never been kissed and they had been nagging on him. He had just stepped out of the shower and he sported one of his towel-turbans everyone made fun of. He heard the soft strum of the guitar in Chester's room, he was practicing of course. He was already really good but he always was looking to improve. He heard his phone vibrate in the other room, he ran towards his bed and flopped onto it. It was a text from Saoirse, he smiled down to his iPhone and quickly typed a quick text and tapped 'Send'. The butterflies in his stomach grew with each second it ticked closer to 7pm.

Eli got off his bed and got dressed, he laid out his shirt. He didn't want it to get dirty while he did his hair. He pulled on his khaki jeans and a white tanktop to wear for now. Eli went into the bathroom and grabbed some styling stuff his hairdresser gave him. He started to mold his hair into it's normal peak to the side ontop his head. After he was satisfied, he rinsed his hands and walked back to his room to get all done up. After buttoning his last button he realized he had a message from Saoirse, 'I'll be leaving in 5, I'll see you soon beautiful.' He typed quickly back to her. They hadn't stopped texting since they exchanged numbers two weeks ago. Today was their first actual date, they had seen each other a few times since their first encounter. He sprayed a bit of Chester's cologne on and grabbed his car keys and headed out the door.

He started up his car and played some soft music in the background, it was Micheal Buble. He made it onto her street and drove into her driveway. Eli got out of the car and went up to the door to knock. He waited outside the door until he saw his beautiful date. Eli looked at his phone, it was only 7:00 now. He had made reservations at the fanciest Italian restaurant in town. Eli really wanted Saoirse to be impressed and have a good time with him. It was just so easy talking to her, it was like breathing. Eli snapped out of his thoughts to the sound of the small pitter patter of footsteps and the door opening. "Hi Saoirse!" He said excitedly as he leaned in to kiss both her cheeks, "It's so great to see you again." He smiled warmly at her.

today was the day. saoirse was going on a date with elijah, which she had been looking forward to for a couple weeks. as excited as she was, there was no denying the butterflies that were fluttering in her stomach. the last time she was on a date was awhile ago, and she didn't want to ruin it. elijah seemed to be a great guy from what she knew. they had been talking and texting nonstop since they first ran into each other. saoirse quickly sent elijah a text message saying how excited she was before hopping into the shower. she quickly showered and then hopped out, wrapping a towel around herself and one around her hair. all she had to do with her hair was let it down and dry naturally because her hair seemed to look the best naturally. the hardest part was going to be deciding on an outfit.

now, saoirse had been thinking about an outfit all day, and she still wasn't sure which one to wear. and elijah would be there in a little over an hour to pick her up. saoirse walked over to her closet and began pondering her options. there were many cute shirts that she had to wear, and pants to go with it. however, she wanted to look nice no matter how much she hated getting into a dress. she sighed softly and looked at the very few dresses that she had. the dresses that she had were different. saoirse never seemed to like the things that others liked, and she often wondered if people thought that she looked like a fool. biting her lip gently, she ran her finger along her dresses. "here goes nothing," she mumbled to herself before picking three dresses. she would try them on and see which one looked better. the first dress was too long, the second dress was too poofy, and the third dress fit her nicely. of course, saoirse felt weird being in a dress but she just hoped that elijah liked what she was wearing. she ran her fingers over the dress and glanced over to the mirror once more. for not wearing a dress often, she was pretty content with her appearance.

saoirs walked over to her vanity and began putting on her makeup. not too much, but enough, focusing mostly on her blue eyes. once she finished with her makeup she peered over at the clock. it wasn't long until elijah would be there to pick him up. she sent him a quick text saying 'don't be late (;' to joke around, and she quickly had a reply from him saying he would be there soon, and then he called her beautiful. just the word beautiful made her blush, and elijah wasn't even around her. the butterflies in her stomach twittered around once more. taking a deep breath, she grabbed her handbag and headed down her stairs so that she would be by the door once he arrived. she pulled on a pair of flats that matched her outfit and looked nice. as soon as her shoes were on, she heard the taps on her door. he was here. it was time to go enjoy a date with elijah, and she was praying that she wouldn't mess this up. she took one last breath before opening the door with a smile. "hey elijah!" she got out before he planted two kisses on her cheeks. her cheeks immediately turned bright pink. if she was blushing now, she didn't know how bad she would be if he actually had kissed her. "i'm really glad this date is finally here, seems like it's been ages," she said before adding, "you look great."

notes: it is soooo cute!

Eli had never been so nervous in his whole life. He could sing infront of millions of people in a huge stadium but when it came to seeing Saoirse it was a whole different kind of nervous. His stomach ate away at him as he waited on her doorstep. He had texted her earlier saying that the restaurant they were going to was a little fancier than he had told her. Eli had to make these reservations earlier this week. He had rented out a portion of the restaurant for just the two of them. Since the announcement that over half the band was taken, the fans had been bombing Twitter daily with rage. He didn't want Saoirse to get any hate online, she didn't deserve any of that. He had made sure no one would know their location so they couldn't post photos of the two of them online. Eli really didn't want his new found love life posted online for everyone to see. He wanted his personal life to remain personal.

The door flung right open and to his delight Saoirse stood with a white dress with some ruffles on the bottom. She looked absolutely stunning. Eli had never seen such a beautiful girl in his whole life and now he actually was going on a date with her? He never would've thought in a million years he'd find his dream girl. Her hair laid in it's normal wavey curls that suited her so well. He pulled away from kissing both her cheeks and he saw a fresh flush of red across her cheeks. Eli looked down to the ground and smiled, he was so happy to be in this moment right now.

Eli looked up and saw Saoirse's eyes and he quickly hid the blush that was starting to form. "I'm sorry it took me so long to get reservations, you'll find out later why it was." Eli smiled, he wanted everything to be perfect and after a week of planning he finally was ready for the date. "Thank you Saoirse but I think you look amazing." Eli had never seen her in a dress but she still rocked it. He held up one finger, "hang on a second, forgot something in the car." He ran towards his car before even hearing her answer. Eli had picked up a dozen roses for her earlier today and he didn't want to forget to give them to her. Eli went to the car and grabbed the red bouquet and went swiftly back to her doorstep. "These are for you." He said handing her the roses. "I-I didn't know your favourite flowers... The lady at the store said every girl likes red roses so I just got them." He smiled shyly, "Are you all ready to head to the restaurant?"

notes - oh my gosh they're so adorbs and i just wanna snuggle them both!!

[saoirse fiona fitzpatrick]

saoirse knew how famous elijah was, and how many fans he had. and really, it didn't mean anything to her. of course she was happy for his fame and knew how much he cared about his fans. but she wasn't going after him because of how famous he was, which she knew a lot of girls must do. if anything, she wanted to stay out of his fame, because she really didn't need people sending her hate. if her and elijah were to become a couple she wanted to keep it on the down low, as much as possible. she would be excited about being with him, but she didn't want her relationship out in the open with everyone. that was something that she wanted to keep private. she knew that being around elijah would mean a lot of people would probably see them in the open, and she couldn't control that. she just hoped that people would respect her enough to not send her tons of hate.

the only thing saoirse had to worry about now was not making a fool of herself, which she tended to do around guys that she liked. she played with a strand of her hair while she looked at elijah. he looked amazing. of course he always looked good, but tonight he looked the best he had ever looked. she smiled at him nervously. "sorry if i do something embarrassing tonight.. i'm pretty nervous, i won't lie." she hadn't been this nervous since she performed a song of hers in a talent show a few months ago. there had been tons of people there and she almost chickened out, but she managed.

"don't worry about it! i would wait months if it meant going on a date with you, elijah." she blushed again, biting her lip. ever since he had told her the day of the date she had been looking forward to it. "if you think i look amazing you obviously haven't looked into the mirror today," she joked. he then told her to wait and she watched him run over to his car, grabbing something out of it. it looked like he was holding a bouqet of flowers, and saoirse began to melt inside. he was honestly so sweet. she took the flowers from him and smiled so wide. "you're so sweet, elijah. thank you," she said before planting a kiss on his cheek. "i love them." saoirse actually didn't have a favorite type of flower, since she never really received them from anyone, but she knew that now red roses were her favorite type. "yes, i'm ready to go," she said, linking her arms with him. this night was already perfect.

[elijah noah parker]

Eli had never felt this way before. Not one person could captivate him like Saoirse did. It was like magic when she simply stepped into the room he felt like it was just her and him. The English language didn't offer the proper words to express how he really felt about her. Eli was one of the guys who just stepped back and watch guys land girls in a blink of an eye (his brother being one of them). He had never tried himself and that was one thing he waited to do since he didn't want to waste his time on someone who wasn't worth it. Finally, he found Saoirse and everything about her screamed 'perfect'.

Eli's butterflies swirled and fluttered in his stomach, he wasn't sure if it was because it was hungry or because Saoirse looked so beautiful in her dress. Maybe it was a mixture of both? He wasn't really too sure. He was just so nervous to mess up the date, "Don't be nervous love, everything you do is perfect. I-I'm really nervous too so you're not the only one." Eli looked down the ground and smiled before looking back up.

"Like my mom always said, better late than never!" He laughed softly, the conversation flowed perfectly. Elijah had left his phone on silent today, God knows how much the boys had been texting him teasing him about his date. He didn't want to be bothered during his date, he was too easily distracted as is. "I barely can pick out an outfit with the help of my mom, Chester, or my stylist." He blushed softly, he really had poor sense of style. If it were up to him he'd be in a plain black t-shirt and a pair of jeans. The way he saw it was a girl won't like you for your clothes, just you. She thanked him and planted a kiss on his cheek, he felt like the luckiest guy in the world. "Alrighty! Then let's head out." Eli took her hand and intertwined it in his and led Saoirse to the car. He opened up the passenger door and waited for her to slip into the seat before closing the door softly behind her. Eli then continued to quickly walk to the driver side and get into the car. "I've got a great surprise for you m'dear." He looked over to her before starting the car. Eli pulled out of the driveway and onto the mainroad, the restaurant was only a five-ten minute drive. "So, Christmas is coming up... You doing anything special?" He asked as he came up to a stop at a red light.

[saoirse fiona fitzpatrick]

saoirse had a few boyfriends before, but none of them made saoirse nervous like elijah did. the feelings that he gave her were unlike anything she had ever felt before, and she wasn't even his girlfriend. yet. she hoped that at some point she was going to be lucky enough to be with him, but she didn't really want to rush things. when you rushed things it just ruined everything. saoirse did not want to ruin anything with elijah because she was sure that she would never find another guy like him. the thing saoirse liked most about elijah was that she could be herself around him and not feel like an idiot. it was like he understood her.

"oh trust me, you will soon find out that i am very far from perfect," she giggled, looking at him. she nervously tucked a piece of stranded hair behind her ear. saoirse knew that a lot of the things she said and did tonight would be out of nerves, and she really hoped that she didn't say anything stupid enough for elijah to laugh at her. but then again, she had the feeling that he wasn't really that type of guy. "you don't have anything to be nervous of," she reassured him, giving him a warm smile.

she laughed lightly, looking over his outfit. "well if you picked out that outfit then you are doing a good job on your own. either way, you could make a trash bag look good," she spoke. saoirse laughed a little, thinking of how eli would look jumping around in a trash bag. even though it was a little odd, she was really sure that he could be on to pull it off. when elijah took saoirse's hand, she felt the butterflies creeping back into her stomach. every time he touched her she went insane. they walked out to the car, and saoirse slid into her seat as elijah closed the door behind her. she slipped on her seatbeat quickly and looked over to the drivers side. "a surprise? oh please tell me, surprises make me anxious! i always want to know what it is." then again, who didn't want to know what a surprise was. saoirse would know in just a few moments, but she really couldn't wait. "but if there is a surprise then i bet you put a lot of time into this. thanks, eli," she added, looking over at him smiling softly. "christmas? no... my mom has to work, so i'm pretty much home alone.. are you doing anything?" she asked. she would love to be with him at christmas but she didn't want to but into anything he had planned.

notes: i wish i could let her < 33 ahh i love them

[elijah noah parker]

Eli couldn't think of anything that wasn't perfect about Saoirse, she was the most beautiful girl in the whole world. Girls with curly hair had always been his weakness. He had seen her hair straight maybe once in a picture on Facebook.. but he liked how she styled her curls. They were messy... yet perfect placed? Eli really appreciated all the time that girls invested in their looks, it really paid off and left a lasting impression. "saoirse, you're my definition of perfect then." he smiled over to her and watch her tuck a stray hair behind her ear. The butterflies swirled around his stomach and even performing infront of five-hundred people he didn't have this many butterflies.. It took only one girl to make Eli nervous, that just meant she was special. "It's not a bad kind of nervous... It's the good kind." Eli looked down to the ground then back up --a habit of his.

"A trash bag?" Eli laughed. He was excited to spin her around the dance floor later. Saoirse had little to no idea how romantic Eli had planned their date to be. He figured he may as well splurge for this date, it was his first date and he wanted it done right. As they started to drive down the street he turned down the volume of his music so they could talk. "I can't tell you hun, it'll ruin the surprise! It took me 2 weeks to plan it actually." He smiled over to her and snapped his head back to the road ahead, "Anything for my favourite girl." No matter how much she begged and pleaded he wouldn't tell her the surprise. He wanted to see her face when they got there and she saw the restaurant was vacant except for them. Eli saw the light turn green as he hit the gas once again, "Well actually, we have this Christmas tradition for all of the boys and their girlfriends to come over for a huge feast. Sam is making all the food with me and the theme is this year is ugly Christmas sweaters. Aaand, I'd love for you to be my date this year." He smiled over to her and waited for her to answer. Eli hadn't ever invited anyone for the Christmas dinners they've had over the years. He usually went alone and talked to everyone, now that he had a girl he wanted her to come with him.

Eli pulled up the restaurant and saw the fancy sign and the place looked really vacant. "We're here." He said parking the car and getting out to help Saoirse out of the car. He opened her door and took her hand to assist her out. Eli walked hand in hand with her towards the door and opened it for her to go in, "ladies first." He went in after her and went up to the hostess. "Elijah and Saoirse, your table is set and dinner is being prepared as we speak." The hostess said as she pointed towards the only table set in the whole restaurant, it was dimly lit by a few lights. The soft music played in the background was romantic and soft, the live band played a good set list. Eli pulled out her chair and then sat down in his own, "surprise!" He said smiling, he hoped that she was impressed.

notes - ahhh <3

[saoirse fiona fitzpatrick]

saoirse spent a lot of time getting ready, especially on nights like these. usually she just had to put some styling gel into her hair but it luckily kept it still soft, and not crunchy like some things could do. and then she always had to make sure her makeup looked perfect. it was the hardest getting her eyes perfect because of her eyeliner, so that took the most time to do. often she messed up and had to start over but lately she was getting to the point that it looked good most of the time. when she first started doing her eyes she was always messing up, but she was getting way better. saoirse always had a hard time picking outfits because her style was original and many people thought it was weird. she liked what she wore though. "when i wake up in the morning i am very far from perfect," she said, sticking out her tongue jokingly. "yes a trash bag," she said before giggling once more.

saoirse had been playing out the date in her head ever since he told her they were going. she had been thinking and daydreaming on how it was going to go. truth was that she had no idea how it was going to end up, mostly because she had no idea what was going on. all she knew was that she was so excited and wanted the whole thing to be perfect. she always had a really good time with eli so it wasn't going to be hard to have an amazing night. "i already know this night will be amazing. you've seem to put so much time into planning it. no matter what, it's going to be perfect. thank you elijah," she said looking over at him in the drivers side. "of course i will be your date. i just have to go get an ugly christmas sweater. i don't even think my mom has one laying around anywhere," she said, knowing that she was already in need of a shopping trip. christmas was just around the corner and she hadn't gone shopping for presents for everyone yet.

when elijah pulled into the restaurant the place looked really vacant. usually it was a busy place, which confused saoirse a little bit. elijah came over and opened her door and took her hand. she got out of the car holding his hand tightly. "elijah there is no one else here...[/b" she trailed off, looking up at him. they walked into the restaurant. inside there was only one table, and it was dimly lit. there was a live band, and they were the only people there to eat. saoirse thought it was so sweet she almost began crying right then and there. "you did this? for me? this is so perfect, thank you thank you thank you," she said, wrapping her arms around him tightly.

notes: i wanna take them home and snuggle them.

[elijah noah parker]

Eli never spent much time on his looks, once a person gets old those will fade with time and just disappear. He always relied on his personality to carry him far in life, never paying attention to what others thought of his looks. He was sure even if he wore a trash bag Saoirse would still find him attractive. After all, she was far too sweet to say anything bad about anyone. "Trust me, if you saw me when I woke up you'd wonder if I'd been through a tornado." Eli chuckled softly, he usually styled his hair and it always stuck up in random places. He looked like a cockatoo most mornings and one time he even scared Chester with how crazy he looked in the morning. Granted, Chester scared him every morning with how crazy his hangover symptoms were. He would find himself playing nurse a lot of the time when the guys came home from a crazy night of partying. Eli only went to parties for the networking and meeting eager fans.

Eli had been planning for a couple of weeks and really wanted Saoirse to be treated as the princess she deserved to be. He just wanted to be the noble prince to sweep her off her feet and ride off on a great white stallion into the sunset. Given the white stallion in this case would be replaced with his black Mazda. And the fact that Eli was no prince didn't help either. He was the least experienced out of all the guys and he was really quite nervous about tonight. He didn't want to push anything too quickly with Saoirse and screw anything up. "You deserve every single second of this planning, I wanna do this right." Eli said softly before reaching across to the passenger seat and resting his hand lightly on hers. Eli breathed a sigh of relief when she agreed, he realized he had been holding his breath. "I have a lot of them, you can borrow one from me." He smiled softly, she already had a few of his shirts and sweaters at her house. Eli was constantly getting a ton of clothes from the shoots and an array of designers trying to get their brand out there.

When they entered the restaurant he just watched her face transform from pure happiness to pure shock. He led her over to the table and pulled out her chair before seating himself. "Is this too much?" Eli asked before she wrapped her arms around him tightly. He breathed in the light scent of her familiar perfume and the scent of her shampoo. He adored the way she smelled, he pulled away from the hug and kissed her forehead before sitting down. "Of course this is all for you! I didn't want anyone else around incase any guy wanted to sneak a glance at my beautiful date." He smiled softly and reached across the table to her hand and he held it softly in his. "Everything feels so right when I'm with you." He looked down at their hands and smiled before looking back up to her beautiful eyes. "I hope you don't mind but I picked out our dinner already, you're not vegetarian are you?" He asked her, hoping she wasn't because their main course was a chicken plate.
