Justin
"Did I tell you how beautiful you look?"
Valentina looked at me and nodded. "You did."
"I made a reservation at Ruth's Chris."
"That restaurant is so expensive though."
"I wanted tonight to be special for just you and I."
After we arrived, the hostess took us to a table in the back and placed the menus on the table. "Take your time, I will be back shortly."
"So, why did you bring me here?"
"Because I think you have been doing an amazing job. I honestly think you're one of the most hard-working employees."
"Really?"
"Yes. Especially considering that you've only been there for a few months."
"Well, I try to put all the effort I can to do my job as best as I can."
"Well, goal achieved."
"I must ask you something."
"Of course."
"Are you single?"
"Getting straight to the point, eh? I like that."
She shook her head. "My ex-husband was married to my sister at the time when I met him, and two kids later, he couldn't care less. Well, I should say my son is his but anyways, I can't put myself in that position again."
"Your sister?"
"Yeah. It was just a huge disaster."
"Well, I've been single for five years, Valentina."
"I didn't think a guy as attractive as you would be single and..."
"You think I'm attractive?"
"It is just a compliment."
"Are you sure about that?"
"Yeah."
"Well, I feel the same about you."
"Look... I don't know if you're trying to get with me or anything like that, but I have two children and I really don't need a random guy getting involved in their lives to potentially hurt me."
"I am not like that, Valentina. Not at all."
"I just... I can't get involved with an employer again. Especially my boss because the last time that happened, it was just a disaster and..."
Valentina shook her head. "Sorry, I am rambling."
"No, it is completely okay. It sounds like you're going through a lot."
"Yeah, I have."
"Well, do give it a thought."
"Give what a thought?"
"Us getting together at some point."
After we finished dinner, I couldn't get my mind off of wanting to kiss her, but I honestly didn't know how she would react. Once I pulled up next to her driveway, she opened the door and smiled. "Thank you for tonight, Justin."
"Of course."
Just as she shut the door, I got out and grabbed her wrist. "Valentina, just a second..."
She looked at me and raised her eyebrows. "Yes?"
"I need to do this before I change my mind."
"Do what?"
Taking a deep breath, I grabbed her arms and kissed her. "That."
After a moment, she stepped back, and cleared her throat, clearly feeling uncomfortable. "Goodnight, Justin."
"Goodnight, Valentina."
I figured that she would actually enjoy it, but I will soon make her enjoy it.
