Personal Stylist

Chapter 25

Gia's P.O.V:

It was almost 7:30 when August and I got to the Italian restaurant. He opened the car door for me and I stepped out. "Thanks,babe."I said to him. He shut the door. "You're welcome,baby."He said,grinning from ear to ear. I don't know,but I'm a lot more opened with him now that I'm his girlfriend. Even though we've known each other for a while. Anyway, August grabbed my hand as we walked across the parking lot. Looking both ways before crossing,of course. He held the door open for me.
"Thank you."I said. He's such a gentleman. "You are so very welcomed."He said. Did I mention his accent gave me chills ? I love his New Orleans accent.
We went up to the podium and it was the same guy from last time. Surprisingly, there was no line. Yet,that is. "Ah,Mr.Alsina. Welcome back."The guy said. "Hi Mario. I made reservations for myself and this beautiful lady."He said. I looked at him. "You made reservations ?" I whispered. "Yeah, this morning."August whispered back. I smiled. "Ah,yes. Follow me."He said,walking towards the back of the restaurant. We followed him,still holding hands. We got to a nice booth. It looked way nicer than the rest of the restaurant. There were about four other couples back here. I sat down and August sat down across from me. It was a booth, so one other couple could sit with us if they wanted to.
Mario left August and I alone. I took my phone out and noticed that Arielle texted me. "Bae, you look beautiful."August said to me. I looked up at him and smiled. "You don't look so bad,yourself." I said to him. He laughed nervously. I could tell he was nervous. I know him. "You okay ?" I asked him. "I'm fine,baby." He says. I looked at him and sucked my teeth. "You know I don't believe you, right ?" I said. "What ? I'm telling the truth. For real, I'm good." He says. I gave him a weird look and picked up my menu. "Okay."I said. "It's just... I'm nervous."August admits.
I knew it. I put my menu down and looked at him. "Why ?" I asked. "Because, this is our first date as a couple and I don't wanna mess it up. I want it to be special." He says. I smiled at him. "August. It's already special."I said to him. He looked at me and took both of my hands. "I'm glad,baby."He says. I smiled yet again. I'm sorry y'all. He makes me so happy.
"I just want you to know, you have nothin to be scared or nervous about. You got me, so there's nothing to be worried about."I told him. He let go of my hands gently and smiled. "It feels so good to hear you say that."August said. I couldn't stop smiling. "Good."I say. I checked my phone again and read Arielle's text.

I looked up at Aug who was looking at his menu. "Auggie ?" I said, all innocent and stuff. He looked up from the menu. "Yeah, bae ?" He asked. "Um.. You know Arielle's my best friend, right ?" I said. He put his menu down. "What you got up ya sleeve ?" He said. "Why do you think I have something up my sleeve ?" I asked. "Gi, I've known you for how long ? And I know you only call me Auggie when you want something."He said. Dammit. He knows me so well. "Well... Please ??" I said. August laughed. "You haven't told me what it was that you wanted. Go head, baby." He tells me. "Okay."I said. August put his attention on me. I out my iPhone 6 down on the table. "Well, You know how Arielle and Brandon got engaged ?" I said. "They did ?" He says. "Yes,bae. I told you in the car." I said. August laughed once again. "I'm playing,baby. Go head and finish."He says. "Okay. Well since they got engaged Brandon wanted to take her out somewhere special and I was just texting her. They came here and I told her we were here too."I said. "Babe,what are you tryna say ?" Aug asked me. "I was wondering if they could sit with us and maybe we could have a cute little double date ?" I said. August was quiet for a minute. "Pleaseeeee baby ?" I begged. "Sure baby."He said, smiling. "Really ?" I asked. "Yes bae. You can have whatever you want."He tells me. I smiled and picked up my phone. "Ahh, thank you thank you thank you baby." I said. I texted Arielle, telling her that August said it was okay. August smiled. "Anything for you, babe." He says to me. I couldn't stop smiling tonight. This is the beginning of a beautiful relationship. I can fe it.
