By Your Side - New Beginnings

Chapter 6 - First Date

August P.O.V.

I had just called in the restaurant to make sure my reservation was all good. I was taking Jhené to one of the nicest restaurants in state. I took my shower, brushed my teeth, and laid out some clothes.

Jhené's P.O.V.

I was sorting my clothes out on my bed and began to try them on. I tried on this short dress. It was light pink and white. The top part was a see through laced top, and the bottom was a ruffled white skirt piece that fell just above my knee. A darker shade of pink belted around my waist. I put on some white sandals and looked in the mirror. "Naa." I say out loud. Next, I try on a crop top and pencil skirt that go together. It's red with cuts on the sides. I kept it as an option. After trying on 10 different outfits, I finally chose one. I took my shower brushed my teeth and started to fix my hair up.

August's P.O.V.

I had picked out an outfit to wear. I was waring a white dress shirt with a blue church jacket over it with some white pants. I put on my watch grabbed my keys and left. When I arrived at Jhené's place, I took a good look in the mirror, went to her door and rang the bell.

Jhené's P.O.V.

August was at the door and I wasn't quite ready. I threw on my shoes, touched up my makeup, and got the door. "Hey August." I said letting him in. "Woah." August began. "Hey... damn, you look... damn." August said licking his lips. I was wearing a short black tube top dress that showed my skin underneath my breasts. I had on some strap sandals and a silver necklace and hoop earrings.(Outfits seen in pictures.) "Thanks. You don't look too bad yourself." I said laughing a little. "Shall we?" August replied holding his arm out. "We shall." I say smiling. {Minutes Pass} When we arrived, August opened my door and let me out the car. I was shocked to see where we were. "Marino Grande!" I shouted (Made up.) "Yep. Just for you." August said taking my hand. "You didn't have to take me here, this place is really expensive." I said. "I will spend all the money in the world just for you." August said pulling me closer to him. I smiled big and walked inside. "Hello how may I help you?" The lady at the front asked us. "Reservation for August Alsina." "Table of two?." the lady asked. "Yes. Just us." August replied. "Okay. Right this way." The lady showed us our seat and walked away. "So, what you wanna eat ma?" August asked me. "Mm. The Cesar salad looks good." "How much?" August asked. "$6.88 plus 50 cent for extra stuff." "I know what you're doing. You can order something expensive. It's ok." August said. "Hey, the salad is $6.88 that's expensive for a small little salad." I say laughing as I speak. "How about..." August began. "How about we split the triple dipper, and you can have a side salad." "Sounds good." I replied to August. "Hi my name is Zoey I will be your waitress for the evening. How can I start you off? Any drinks?" "Umm. I will have a Margarita with two limes please." August said to Zoey. "A lemonade please." "Okay. I will be back with your drinks shortly." Zoey said. I stared at August for a while. "What?" August said looking confused. "A margarita? Really?" I say in shock. "What, you've never had a margarita?" August said to me "Nope. Mostly because I'm underage." I say to August. "You're almost 18." "I know,but that not 21." I reply. "So what." August said laughing. The lady came back with our drinks and asked if we were ready to order. "We will be splitting the Triple Dipper." August said to Zoey. "Okay, anything else?" "A side salad please." August added. "Okay, food we be ready shortly. August looked at me smiling and laughing a little. "Is something wrong, er' funny ?" I ask August. "a Everything's just fine, I just find it funny that you've never had a margarita." August said to me. "Funny how?" "I don't know. It just is. "How about you try some right now." August handed me his cup and gestured me to drink. I sipped the drink and found myself drinking more and more. "Woah there. Calm down." August said laughing and pulling the drink away from me. I laughed with August. "Here you guys go." I hear the waitress say handing us our food. "Smells good." I say to August. "Trust me. It is." August said touching my hand. We start eating the food and getting to know each other more. August feeds me some of the food and I do the same thing. When the waitress came, she asked if we wanted dessert. "Actually. We will have some dessert. The molten lava cake please. With extra whip cream." "Okay, will that be it?" "Yes. Thank you." "You didn't have to get dessert." I say to August. "I know. But I wanted to." August said smiling. We got our cake and I was staring at it like there was a bomb in it waiting to explode. "Are you okay?" August asked me. "Yea, I just ....never had this kind of cake before." I say in a worried tone. "Wow! You've never had this kind of cake. Well, let's hope that you like it." August said, taking his fork and digging a piece up for me. August fed me the cake and got whip cream all over my top lip. "August." I laughed, wiping it off. "Here, let me help you." August got closer to me, took the napkin from my hand, and began to kiss me. "Got it." He said. I was speechless for a moment. "Uhh thanks." I say in shock but feeling happy on the inside. August paid the check and we left. When we arrived to my house, August walked me to my door. "Thank you August. For a wonderful night." "No problem. Anytime ma." I smiled and looked down while August was holding my hands. August quickly but passionately began to kiss me. We slowed down but sat there for what felt like forever but felt so good. Everything was perfect.
