I know it happened too fast but I just couldn't help it, plus I got a go-ahead from Zoe the expect.

(I just hope it works out)

I told my friend Zoe about John, after I called him two days later after he asked me too. I wanted to wait at least a week before giving him a call but I just couldn't, honest truth is, I was charmed so I had too. Before he thought I was not interested, then change his mind.

(I just couldn't let him slip off like that)

*****

It has been two weeks since John and I been seeing each other. But something was just odd about John, I was just having a bad feeling about him. Everything was smooth and sweet, but I was not sure if I even wanted to continue.

He was handsome, chivalrous and I liked him to the fullest, but my subconscious was telling me the opposite. He was indeed romantic and he always made me laugh.

(The past two weeks have been really pleasant for me but-but. There's just too many buts in my mind)

"Is this normal? He didn't do anything unpleasant but here I am having doubts, is there something wrong with me?" I asked my colleague Nancy as I creased my forehead.

(I was confused)

"Trust me it's normal, I remember when I broke up with Jake"

Jake was her ex cheating boyfriend.

"I was insecure after what he did to me, but trust me, girl. time heals, you'll be alright, John is a good man" she said with a comforting expression.

(I'm supposed to be finishing my work but instead, I'm worrisome, I should just go with the flow and see where my journey with John takes me too)

"I think you're right" I nodded.

(I needed to hear that)

It was a few minutes before our lunch break and John had asked to take me out for lunch again that day. His workplace was just a few blocks away from my workplace, so since we've met and gone out for a few dates in the past two weeks we have been going for lunch together.

******

"You look good," he remarked when he saw me coming down the building exit door. "Thank you, you do too, as always" I acknowledged with a smile before I gave him my hand as he lead me to his rage Rover Evoque.

(This hand thing THOUGH, so sweet)

I climbed up the car after he had opened the door for me and said "there you go princess" then closed the door for me. "What do you wanna eat today," he asked me immediately after he has entered from his driver's side and started the engine.

(Princess has been my name since)

"How about Burger today, burger king maybe?" I answer asked as I pulled a shoulder and contorted. I was not in the mood for fork and knifes in swanky restaurants, but an easy-going atmosphere. He had been taking me to fancy expensive restaurants for the past two weeks. now it was my turn to take him to my kind of vibes.

(Simple)

I was a simple person, not that I didn't like fancy things but it cant be always."Whatever the princess ask, it shall be so" he said, as he gave me one of those playful romantic smiles, I returned the smile as we drove to BURGER KING

*****

Nothing much really happened on that day, we went to burger king and ordered our lunch, we had different topics and conversations. he told me about his business trip that he was going to take with some of his colleagues, the upcoming weekend which was six days to go.

(I know I'll miss him)

On our first date, he had mentioned that he was a busy man and he travels a lot, of which I had no problem. After all, a man should work hard for his current family and future family of his own. So I had no problem at all, I on the other side I had a demanding office job which I was not expecting anyone to whine about, so there was no logical reason for me to complain about John's busy schedule.

The only thing I was not comfortable about was, his phone rang each and every minute when we were together, what made it worse was, he always had to answer, he sometimes paused our conversations to answer his business partner's texts,

( I supposed)

but apart from that, he was sweet, jollity, romantic, fun and he made me feel special, ALWAYS.

Truth was, he erased all the negativity I already had for man. He made me forget about what Paul and others have done to me ever since I started dating. I knew it was premature for me to be feeling that way but the feeling I got when I was with him, was unbearable and believe me when I say no one has ever made me feel that way.

******

(I don't know which dress to choose from, there's just too many of them in my closet and John will be here soon)

I always took time when it came to choosing a night dinner suitable dress, sometimes I wished John was more like me, casual.

(This formal dinner date thing is so not me. I am appreciating it and love it too, but I need more time to get used to it and I know I will) I inhaled hard because of the thought.

A week ago when John came back from one of his business trips, he brought me a knee-length cocktail black dress.

(maybe I should wear it tonight. I'm not too sure because the weather doesn't really empower)

I just didn't know what to wear on a serious note.

(I'm sure Zoe is ready already because she's used to such) I thought, as I was still going through different dresses in my closet.

I've always been a casual one, the one who liked sport and simple wear. I had a feminine attitude in me, I was just not getting used to cocktail kind of dresses and off-shoulder wear. I was more into pants, Jeans, tracksuits and because of work it was women suit with medium heels nothing much.

(Oh! speak of the devil)

my phone rang under some clothes I had placed on the bed, I quickly searched for it as I placed the dress I've already chosen to go for that night.

"Why you always take long to answer?" Zoe barged on me and yell in my ear through the phone call instantly when I picked up.

"Are you gonna ask me that every time when you call" I shut her off playfully.

"Whatever! Are you ready? I'm asking because I know you can be unnecessary slow sometimes," sarcastically she said.

"But you know I need to impress so I need all my time to do that"

"You're right, but don't exaggerate, now, finish up because I overheard Nick's phone conversation with John saying that he was on his way to pick you up"

(Oohh ohh!)

Zeo, Nick, John and I were going for a formal double date which was brought up by Zoe and Nick, they seemed to have a lot in common those two. Both outgoing and forward, Unlike me and John, he was a formal person while on the other side I was just easy going.

Yes, Zoe has been seeing John's friend, Nick. the guy she took off with from the club where I met John.

(I wonder if they will last)

Zoe was always in a new relationship every after three months, but she seemed much happier with Nick, She told.

"Serious! No!" I squeaked

"ok let me get dressed see you later," I said before ending the call.

(I'm late. I'm late)

I dropped the phone on the bed, I hurriedly picked up the dress John bought for me a week ago. I matched it with my black mid slingback toe heels.

*doorbell rang*

I frown as quickly grabbed my black and gold medium handbag and shoved my phone in, and some necessities then my perfume after I slightly sprayed on my neck and rubbed some on my wrist then I took a quick view in the mirror when I hurried downstairs to attend to the door, which I knew it was John who rang the doorbell.

*****

"Why is he whispering if there's nothing to hide?" I asked with my arms on my chest.
