Chapter 14

I looked through the big window of my office. I loved looking through it, it made me forget everything.

I was very anxious about tonight, this would be my and Frida's first official date. We are going to a whole another part of town, just to make sure no one would know us. It was mostly my idea, but she agreed. I did feel bad, for making her hide our relationship like it's top secret stuff... But as much as I know, she doesn't want Benny to know yet too, so it's a win win situation.

It was getting late, most people were already leaving, and the sun was slowly setting. I decided to leave too, I had to still figure out what I'd wear. It had been two months, I had been two months with her, and oh... How I love her.

I got my coat and bag and left. Frida said she'd pick me up around seven. It was six thirty now.

With each moment I became more anxious and scared. Tonight could be the night when we... Thinking about that just makes me much more nervous.

I hurried inside and tried to pick out what to wear quickly. Frida was a very punctual person, if she said she'd pick me up at seven, she'll be here at seven, not earlier, not later, right at seven.

I took two dresses out. One was a red, strapless dress, one was a long, black bodycon dress, with a slit on the side. I decided to wear the bodycon dress and since it was low cut, with a push up bra. I wanted Frida to see me and just loose all words and don't know what to say.

I changed into that dress and put on stiletto high heels. I glanced at the time, it was about to be seven. After quickly putting of some of my new perfume and lipstick, I looked for my purse. I looked at my wrist watch, it was seven now. And right as I looked up from the watch the doorbell rang. I noticed my purse on the desk and grabbed it.

I opened the door and Frida immediately greeted me with a kiss and a hug.

"Be careful, you'll smudge my lipstick." I smiled.

"Yes, and that's a job for later tonight." Frida said and winked. That alone made me get butterflies in her stomach. I hadn't even noticed how hot she looked, she, of course, wore a suit and high heels.

"You ready?" She asked and I nodded.

We slowly walked to the car, when we got to it she opened the door for me, and closed it too. Frida got into the drivers seat and glanced at me, "Put your seatbelt on darling."she said calmly.

She barely ever called me that, it made me want to jump up and down and scream, but I collected myself and put my seatbelt on, then she started driving. We drove to a restaurant on the other side of the city, it took about twenty minutes. It was apparently a very fancy French restaurant. We were at the restaurant right on time for our reservation.

We walked inside, hung our coats and a nice man showed us to our table, quickly afterwards a person came to take our drink orders, and handed us menus. I ordered wine and she did the same.

Shortly after another person came to take our order, we both looked at menu.

"Vichyssoise and ratatouille." I said, hoping I pronounced the names of the foods correctly, and gave the menu to the server. I considered if this is a fancy restaurant. I had called my sister before, I didn't really know much about fancy restaurants, she said it's usually petty customary to order an appetizer and a main course. Thankfully appetizers and main courses were separated on this menu. If they weren't I'd look like a fool right now.

"I'll have... Consommé and Steak au Poivre with red wine pan sauce." Frida said and handed him the menu too.

"Okay." He nodded and walked off.
