"Lya I don't have anything to wear" I pout looking at my phone screen.

"You have so many clothes and you want me to believe you don't have anything?" Lya says looking annoyed.

"Okay fine what about this dress" I say holding up a spaghetti strap, long teal dress towards the camera as I purse my lip.

"Mmm... it could work send me a picture when your ready" she said still thinking about the outfit.

"Okay" I say.

I place my phone on the charger and start doing my makeup.

I'm going for a soft glam.

I'm already running out of time it's almost 7:00pm and a man like him I think will be on time.

But first impression counts can't rush beauty.

I chuckle humorously.

I decided on an updo and slip my dress on in the mirror.

"You look nice" Aaliyah compliments as she walks into my room.

I thank her as I still stare at myself in the mirror.

I really hope he likes my outfit...

"Come let me take a picture of you man, goodie a go out on date" Aaliyah hypes me up.

I blush and walk over to my closet and pose for her. When she's done I peep my head over to see how they came out.

"Real Barbie" my sister says gassing me up.

"They're nice for real" I said, sending them to Lya.

"Mom... someone's outside" Lemar shouts from downstairs.

Must be him.

I make my way downstairs and kiss Lemar on his forehead before going outside.

He's just leaning on his car with his eyes glued to his phone, when I got close he opens the door for me and close it once I was seated.

"He's a good man savannah" my subconscious says doing a salsa dance.

Whatever... I smiled with my head turned to the window.

"You look nice" he compliments.

"You too" I smiled.

The rest of the car ride was hella quiet only the old school reggae jams were heard coming from his sound system.

He must be really old ...

Only old souls I know does listen to old school music.

Well you a old soul? My subconscious asked.

No but he strikes me as a very aged man.

We arrived at the restaurant in about 30 minutes.

The Valetta parked the car while we enter. 

A brown skin lady with a braided updo and blue and black work clothes showed us to our seats and tells us our waiter will be here shortly.

She hasn't taken her eyes off of him since we got here.

It's not like I care but it's rude, she doesn't even care that I'm sitting right here.

"A your man?" My subconscious asked raising her eyebrow.

"No and that's beside the point"

It's unprofessional...

"Alright ma'am since a your man" the girl in my head says as she takes a seat.

The tension between us start rising as soon as the hostess stepped away.

He's just staring at me keenly.

"What?" I asked him as I look around the room expectantly.

He smirks then sink his bottom lip between his pearly white teeth in the most attractive way.

God this man is finee..

"Just admiring you" he finally says fixing his givenchy shirt.

We both draw our attention to the waiter as he approached us.

"Good evening, my name is Keith and I will be your waiter for tonight, can I start you guys off with some wine while you go through the menu?" The waiter says.

"Yes please" I answered with a smile.

"Okay madam what would you like?" He asked.

"I'll have a glass of Pinot Noir please" I said grabbing the menu from infront of me and start looking through it.

"And you sir?" The waiter asked him.

"I'll have the same" he says looking up at me with a smile on his face.

"Okay I will be back in one moment" the waiter tells us.

This girl moves differently from any other woman I've been around.

She hasn't looked at her phone or snap pictures since we've got here.

"Big woman ting" my subconscious says.

"That she is"

"So can we get down to business now?" I heard her say.

I chuckled softly.

"So all work and no play?" I ask her.

"I do play more than you could imagine" she says with her eyes still plastered on the menu.

"I see... well the point of this dinner was to get to know you better since you would be handling the most important aspects of my company" I assured her.

"Okay what do you want to know?" She asks looking up giving me her undivided attention.

Damn her eyes are beautiful.

Not too dark.

They look hazel.

I must admit though.

She's a well matured and mannered woman, straight down to business.

"What made you choose this line of work" I asked her.

"I..." she paused as the waiter returns with our wine and ask for our orders.

"I'll have the seafood pasta with garden salad" she says.

"I'll have the ribeye steak dinner" I tell him.

As he walks away she continues her sentence.

"I always loved technology since secondary school, I would always reassemble PCs from scraps, from old computers" she says.

I can see how passionate she is about computers because her face lights up immediately as she spoke.

"When I got to college and I saw how advanced the world of technology has become I fell in love with it even more and that's when I decided on this profession" she adds.

"Whoever your man is he must be lucky to have you" I said studying her body language.

"Must be" she says sarcastically as she sips her wine with her eyes turned to the side.

That's all the confirmation I needed, once she doesn't have a man it will be easier for me to work my way in.

She strikes me as the loyal type of person but you can't be too trustworthy of people these days.

I chuckled as I look down at my phone.

Keith came back with our foods and we ate in silence. I paid the bill then we both got up and walked outside.

The drive home was just the same as dinner quiet I'm starting the think we have the same personality because she doesn't speak much and I sure as hell don't either.

I parked in front of her driveway and looked over at her with my lips trapped between my teeth.

"I will have the contract signed and sent over to your boss first thing Monday morning if you agree to go out with me again" I tell her with a low husky tone.

I watch as her cheeks light up like the 4th of July as she blushes and turn her face away from me.

I grab her chin with my index and middle finger and turned her face back to me awaiting an answer.

"Okay" she says softly with a smile so sweet.

It's taking everything in me not to kiss her full plump lips right now.

She stares up at me expectantly and I know she wants me to do it just as much as I want to but I'll be a good boy tonight.

Just for tonight.

"Good night" she says turning away and I could see the disappointment on face.

"Good night" I respond ignoring my thoughts.

I don't want to scare her away or hurt her so I'll take things slow giving her time to adjust.

She closes the door and I watched her until she reaches inside her house before speeding off down the street.
