The Final Year (PROJECT 2.0)

Warmth

I know many of you are excited for the date scene, some people actually begged me, the crazy thing is that i am also excited for the date scene, i can't wait to see what will happen 😁😁.

Enjoy...

I sat by the table i had reserved for the date, looking out through the large windows occupying the largest part of the walls making you see what was happening outside.

Checking my wrist watch again, two minutes. She is late by two minutes, i sighed looking at the closed door, watching people go in and out of the restaurant.

What if she doesn't show up?

No, she will never do that.

I take a quick glance around the quaint restaurant. The exterior was warm and woody, the wall were wood panelled, several mini chandeliers hung low from the ceiling. Different scents filled the air.

Two tables away, three girls sat by it and they were boldly staring at me, bluntly checking me out.

I maintain my dead stare making them uncomfortable as they look away. I look away too, suddenly getting bored and at the same time anxious. My anxiety level was running on a very high scale which is alarming.

I fixed the date at a fancy restaurant that i had heard a lot of great recommendations about. And with what i am seeing, i am so happy i choose this place, i just hope she would love it too, this is the first time i am doing something like this so i couldn't help but feel jittery.

I tap my index finger on the dark mahogany table, looking back at the entrance, i took a quick glance at my watch again.

What will i say when she appears?

'Act normal, play it cool. You got this bro. Always remember to smile'

Bankole words played like a record in my head. I told the guys i was going to ask her out and make it official. Bankole was giving me points as if he had been in a serious relationship before.

I look up at the entrance the same time i saw the door man open the door while flashing the person a smile. It was the toned legs that first caught my attention before the whole body came into view.

My heart stopped functioning for a second, no two seconds. I stared and stared and stared.

My God... She is beautiful!

No. It is the dress. It is definitely that yellow dress.

She walked into the restaurant, her eyes was everywhere, probably overwhelmed by the decorations and designs put into the place.

The yellow dress she was wearing made her skin glow in a different way. It suits her complexion. Her curves were clearly visible in the dress, she looked timid and nervous, she held a purse in a tight grip with her two hands to her front.

She was definitely looking for me but instead of standing up to meet her, i sat glued to my seat staring bashfully at her.

I stood up when i saw a guy walking towards her direction with a funny look on his face. She saw me as soon as i stepped into her view and i watch in satisfaction as a smile grew on her face.

A single look from me made the guy step back. Better.

"Hey" came her soft voice. I swell with pride as her eyes ran through my figure in appreciation.

"Hello... You look... " i was lost of words as soon as i concentrated on her face. She did something to it that made it look enhanced and more prettier.
