The moment we pulled out of the street, I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding
"You did good", I said to him
"Am a natural", he chuckled
"It seemed like you practiced it, did you?", I turned to him
"Nope, I didn't have to. I just said the truth"
"You have no idea how nervous I was, I apologize if my family was a pain in the ass" I said to him
"It's fine, they are really sweet", he smiled
"Thank you", I answered
"You have no idea what I went through just to get a date for this love feast"
"Tell me, I want to know, we have the whole ride home"
Ten minutes later, Nathan was laughing his ass out as I explained all three experiences of my dates
"It's not funny", I crossed my hand over my chest
"It is funny Ava, Very funny. Who the hell takes a date guide on a date", he laughed
"A person who has never been on a date"
"For your first time, you have had terrible experiences", he shakes his head
"Tell me about it", I roll my eyes
We came to a halt in front of a traffic light when it turns red, which gives him an opportunity to look at me
"How about i take you out on date, and make up for all the lost times. If you want to?" He asked
"Sure, I mean why not", I answered
"Please do not bring your date guide along", he giggled
"Sure I won't", I chuckled
The light turned green and we started moving again. We finally arrived in front of my apartment
"Thank a lot for coming with me today", I say as he pulls up in front of my apartment
"You are welcome, I had fun", he smiled. "About that date, what do you say about tomorrow?", he asked
"Tomorrow sounds fine, what time", I unbuckle my seat belt
"Seven sounds good", he asked
"Seven sounds great", I smiled warmly before getting out of the car. "See you at seven tomorrow", and we that bid each other good bye
Liv couldn't stop gushing as I narrated the whole incident to her over the phone
"Aren't you lucky, your date just walked into the kitchen", she chuckled
" I know right"
"And all this happened the one day I wasn't at the bakery", she pouted
I chuckled. " I have to go now, I have a date to prepare for"
"All the best", she blew me a kiss and ended the call
At seven o'clock I was dressed and ready. I glanced at the mirror one before leaving my room. I heard a few voices outside the door, I move to the door and looked through the peep hole
"Hey handsome,you seem to be standing in the wrong door. Who are you here for?", she asked him
I could see Valerie talking to Nathan, she was flirting rather. A sense of urgency went off and I opened the door immediately
"He is here for me", I said confidently and get a hold of his arm
The shock on her face was unmissable
"Can we go now", I look up at Nathan with a cheeky smile
" sure, you look gorgeous by the way", he smiled down at me
"Thank you babe", I get on my toes and place a kiss on his cheek
I looked the door and put my keys in my bag and we start going down the stairs
Just as I was about to pass by Valerie, I stopped for a moment and whispered to her
"Hope your words taste good because you just ate them", I smirked
As we walk down the stairs, Nathan whispers into my ears
"Possessive much, I like it"
"Then get used to it", I smirked
