I watch Nico leave the cafe with a frown. I only got to see him for an hour. I know we have a date later, but I can't wait.

I want to just walk out of the cafe and go on the date now. Unfortunately, I have more shifts to do in the cafe. I turn back around and walk into the kitchen. Alec is staring at me from the kitchen door. "What?" I ask.

"Do you like that guy? What was that kiss about?" Alec's eyebrow twitches.

"It's none of your business Alec." I playfully roll my eyes. I try to walk past him, but he pins me against the wall. His breath against my face makes the hairs on my arms stand up. This would have been amazing years ago.

"I watched you get married to that prick ex of yours. I can't watch you date that Nico guy!" He says angrily.

What the hell! "It's not your choice Alec! Now let me go." I furrow my brows.

He looks at me for a second and then lets me go. I turn away from him and walk away. What's going on with him today.

I walk out of the door after turning off all of the lights. Clicking the button on my car keys my car beeps and the lights flicker on. I walk to my car and step inside.

Me: I'm heading home to get ready. What's the dress code?

Nico: Wear something casual.

Me: Oh do I get to see you wearing sexy normal clothes.

Nico: I won't be the only sexy one.

Me: Hmm we might not make it to our destination.

Nico: Don't worry I'll keep myself in check.

I start up my car and drive off. I turn on the radio which plays Ariana Grande into you.

I laugh at the coincidence. I wonder where Nico is taking me tonight.

Once I get into the house I head straight for the shower. I take a long thoughtful shower before walking around my house in only a towel. I wonder what I should wear. He said casual, but I still want to go all out.

I throw on a grey long knitted dress with long grey boots. It makes me look casual and cute. Nico doesn't know what's coming. I plug up my flat iron and as it gets hot I pop in a mint. After all the morning sickness I might have to start bringing a toothbrush to work.

I curl the ends of my hair and put on some clear lip gloss. I smack my lips together and then head into my living room. I grab my car key and my phone.

Me: I'm ready.

Nico: On my way now. Send me your address.

Me: Okay.

I send him my address and sit on my couch. I wonder where he's taking me. Knowing him it's probably going to be somewhere super romantic. I love that about him. He has a way of creating his own romantic setting.
