I looked in the mirror one last time before leaving me room.
Chauncey was waiting for me in the living me.
He smiled once he saw me. "You look great,".
I quickly looked him over. "You look handsome, as well,".
He really did. When didn't he?
Rose was a lucky girl.
"Let's go," he said.
"Bye mom, bye dad," I called.
"Bye honey," I heard them yell as I left the house.
Chauncey and I climbed into his car and he started her up and backed out of my driveway.
"Thanks again for this,"
"You so owe me. How much money did David promise you?" I asked.
"Um... he gave me thirty,"
"Hand it over," I said extending my hand to him.
"You drive a hard bargaining, Evans," he said pulling out his wallet.
Once he reached the stop sigh he gave me thirty dollars.
"Spank you very much," I said putting the money in my back pocket.
Chauncey laughed and continued to drive.
We talked and sang along to the radio as Chauncey drove.
Moments later he pulled into a drive way of a cute little restaurant.
"Chauncey, I think I'm coming down with something,"
"Will you stop. It won't be that bad,"
I pouted and got out of the car.
Rose and David were standing outside of the restaurant doors.
They both grinned as we came closer to them. Rose rushed over to Chauncey and gave him a kiss.
I looked the other way as David wrapped his arm around my shoulder.
"Don't touch me," I muttered removing his hand.
"Come on!" he whined as I walked inside.
The others followed me and Chauncey told the nice lady our reservation name. She led us to the very back of the room.
Both David and Chauncey pulled our chairs. Rose and I smiled and sat down.
One point for David, I thought as he sat in front of me.
Chauncey sat next to me and across from Rose, taking her hand.
I picked up my menu and scanned it.
Everything looked good. I might just go with the lasagna.
"What looks good?" David asked me.
"The lasagna," I said. "You?"
"The stake and potatoes," he said putting down his menu.
"So, what made you finally say yes?" he said.
Thirty bucks and Chauncey, I thought bitterly.
"I figured that you deserve a chance. This doesn't mean I like you,"
Chauncey elbowed me and I elbowed back.
He looked at me and I gave him a fake grin.
He chuckled and returned his attention back to Rose.
"So..." I said to David as our waiter came.
He looked at me and smiled. I smiled back to be polite.
