Checking the clock on my desk, I realized it was time to finish work and head home. I had a date planned with Alex tonight, so I decided to call a cab.
Stepping out of the office building, the cool evening breeze brushed against my cheeks, adding to my excitement.
I sat in the backseat of the cab, feeling nervous as I thought about Alex. Despite trying to act nonchalant, the excitement within me couldn't be denied. My heart raced, betraying my attempts to stay calm.
Arriving at my house, I thanked the cab driver and made my way to the front door. The hallway was silent, indicating that Haley was still occupied with her fashion extravaganza.
Heading upstairs, I eagerly searched through my closet for the perfect dress. And there it was, a stunning yellow dress that caught my eye. Its vibrant color and daring slit would complement my brown skin tone perfectly, exuding confidence and elegance.
With the dress chosen, I stood in front of the mirror, contemplating my appearance. I decided to let my wild, curly hair cascade down my shoulders naturally, framing my face. Adding delicate gold jewelry for a touch of sophistication, I slipped into my favorite pair of heels, completing my transformation.
As I descended the stairs, the sound of my heels echoed through the empty house. Just as I reached the bottom step, I heard a car pulling into the driveway. Excitement and nervousness intertwined within me, along with the lingering question of how Alex had found me. Taking a deep breath, I straightened my posture and put on my most nonchalant expression.
The doorbell rang, breaking the silence. Opening the door, I revealed Alex standing there, his mysterious and serious demeanor intact. His eyes held a glimmer of curiosity and admiration as they met mine.
"Good evening, Jade," he greeted, his voice carrying a subtle warmth.
"Hi, Alex," I replied, managing a casual smile. "You're right on time."
A slight smirk played on his lips as he observed my dress. "Yellow suits you," he remarked, his gaze traveling down my figure. "Shall we?"
I nodded, stepping out of the house and closing the door behind me. The dimming sunlight cast a golden glow over everything, reflecting the warmth I felt within.
Alex led the way, and I followed, maintaining a respectable distance between us, although my heart yearned to be closer.
As we reached the car, he opened the passenger door for me, surprising me with his chivalry. I slid into the seat, feeling a mix of excitement and uncertainty. Alex got behind the wheel and started the engine, breaking the silence.
"You look stunning tonight," he said, his voice low and husky, sending shivers down my spine.
Blushing, I tried to keep up my composed facade. "Thank you. I must say, you clean up nicely yourself."
A corner of his mouth lifted in a barely perceptible smile. "I'm glad you think so."
The car pulled away from the curb, and I stole a glance at Alex, taking in his chiseled features and piercing eyes. There was so much I wanted to know about him, but for now, I decided to embrace the night.
Alex remained enigmatic, captivating, and commanding. I couldn't help stealing glances at him, attempting to uncover the secrets hidden beneath his cool exterior. Deep down, I longed for this date to be something extraordinary, despite pretending otherwise.
The car stopped outside an elegant restaurant, with soft lighting and a romantic ambiance. Alex turned off the engine and turned to me, his eyes filled with a hint of mystery.
