"Babe, are you ready?" I asked my boyfriend Meyers. He was in the bathroom currently getting ready. It was our first time going out on a date in months.
"Give me a minute," he said from behind the closed bathroom door.
I rolled my eyes. Men have the nerve to talk about women taking forever in the bathrooms. Since I did not know how long it was going to take Meyers in the bathroom I decided I might as well watch some TV.
"And in others news Justin Bieb-" I changed the station quickly because I hated when TV shows did nothing but spread wrong information on celebrities. They always spread rumors about Meyers and I and it pissed me off to no end. Why couldn't they just leave us alone? I quickly settled for watching a cartoon on a kids TV network.
"Really, babe?" Meyers said from behind me.
I awkwardly laughed before quickly shutting off the TV. "I was bored," I said shrugging my shoulders nonchalantly.
"Whatever you say, Aria." Meyers said as he led us out the door.
Luckily when we got to the restaurant no cameramen were around to bother us.
Meyers lead me into the restaurant. "Reservation for Leonard," Meyers told the hostess as soon as we got inside.
"Right this way," she said politely.
Meyers held onto my hand as we followed the hostess who led us to a secluded booth.
"You've really outdone yourself, Leonard." I smiled looking around the restaurant.
"I did it all for you, babe." Meyers said reaching across the table for my hand.
"Hello, I'm Sandy and I'll be your waitress for the evening. What can I get you guys to drink?" The waitress said as soon as she approached us.
"Water with lemon please," I told the waitress.
"Same as her," Meyers told her as well before she was off to go and get our drinks.
When I turned to look at Meyers he was already looking at me, "what?" I asked him.
"Nothing, you just look so beautiful." He said making me smile at him.
"I know I am," I teased tossing my hair over my shoulder and winking at him.
"Oh, please," he snorted rolling his eyes at me.
We both laughed and soon our waitress was back with our drinks.
"Are you two ready to order?"
I looked towards Meyers for confirmation and he nodded his head. "Yeah, I think we are." I told the waitress.

The night between Meyers and I had been full of laughs and fun. Even though it was wrong I loved when he didn't have to play in the NBA because it left more time for the two of us.
"You ready, babe?" Meyers asked as soon as he had paid the bill.
"Yes," I nodded my head.
Meyers walked around the booth to my side putting his hand out for me.
The first thing I noticed when we walked outside was that there were a lot more people outside than before, on top of that it was the paparazzi.
"Fuck," I heard Meyers mumble to himself behind me.
Meyers pulled me closer into him. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and I looked down towards the ground.
The paparazzi around us were like a bunch of mad men snapping photos and screaming bizarre things at us. I hated the paparazzi with a passion, they always knew how to get under your skin and there wasn't a thing you could do about it.
It seemed as if there was one pap in particular trying to annoy Meyers and I to death.
"Hey, Meyers how'd you manage to land a chick like that?" The One pap screamed making me roll my eyes.
Really? How immature could this man be.
"Damn girl have you been working out? Look at that ass," the same pap said before slapping my ass.
I squealed in shock and jumped forward. My mouth had dropped in shock. Did that guy just slap my ass? Before I could turn around and give the guy a piece of my mind Meyers had already done it for me.
"I don't know who the fuck you think you are, but don't ever touch my girl again you shithead." Meyers had gripped the man by the collar of his shirt and was now shaking him up.
I stood still for a second, my brain had not registered the events that were happening before my eyes. Just as Meyers was about to punch the shaken up pap I grabbed his hand.
"Meyers, come on baby stop, he isn't worth it." I told Meyers trying to calm him down.
Slowly Meyers released the pap and he fell to the ground with a grunt.
"I better not catch you put a hand on her ever again." Meyers threatened the guy before I pulled him along.
All the other paparazzi had cleared a path for us and we quickly made our way to the car.
Meyers opened the door for me and helped me get into his car. After I was situated he closed my door and walked over to his side. He slammed his door shut and immediately sped off.
I could tell he was angry by his grip on the steering wheel. He was holding the steering wheel so tight that his knuckles had turned red.
"Meyers," I spoke trying to get his attention.
He muttered something that I couldn't hear before he pulled over to the side of the road shutting off his car.
"Aria, I'm sorry for the way I acted. I'm sorry for getting angry and acting irrationally, but it made me furious that that guy touched you so inappropriately." Meyers said making me nod my head slowly.
I leaned over towards Meyers and kissed him on the cheek. "No apology is needed. Thank you." I told him smiling at him.
"You're welcome, boo. I love you." Meyers told me grabbing my hand in one hand and using his other hand to drive.
