{ MONICA ARTHUR }A full week had went by since Monica started working for Dominic and their steamy night together.
With the end of the week came her first check. Monica knew how she wanted to spend some of her money and that was getting ready for her date with Dominic, which happened to be tonight.
Stepping up from the chair she checked her hair out in the mirror.
"I love it". She decided to go with a trim to her lengthy hair, having it straightened and choosing a side part as her preferred style , it was getting colder and Monica wanted to give her hands a break from doing her hair for a while.
The straight hair felt so smooth against her clothed back. Monica thanked the lady and payed promising to come back again.
Next were nails and toes, growing tired of her previous color and wanted something new . Sitting down in her chair the pedicurist got to work on her toes.
Monica was happy, she felt like she could truly move on with her life now. Going on a date after so long, having a great paying job and even having people she could talk to. She hadn't even received anymore notes or letters or messages since the last time.
Shooting a text to Ms. Rosa asking how she was doing, Ms. Rosa went to go visit her sons Robby and Miles, Robby living closer and miles a little farther. Monica decided to read a book to pass time by.
Leaving the nail shop with fresh nails and toes, she hopped into her car, buckling her seatbelt arriving at a red light .
Her phone began to ring, looking at her cars screen, Dominic's name came up in bold white letters. Answering the call, she heard his beautiful voice.
"Monica"
"Mhm" she answered, honking her horn. She could tell the person in front of her had been on their phone from their head shooting up quickly at the loud sound .
"What are you doing?" Dominic asked after hearing the sound of her horn.
"What do you think I'm doing".
"Don't be a smartass" Monica laughed.
"Be ready by 7 please".
"Will do! And where are we going?" Monica asked but she was met back with the sound of the call ending.
Monica could do nothing but laugh, for the last couple of days she's been trying to pry the answer out of him but he never did fall for it.

Setting down her last makeup brush, Monica grabbed her setting spray, spraying a generous amount on her face. Satisfied with her look Monica stood in her skinyight cream colored dress.
Grabbing her clutch of choice she heads down the steps, the sound of heels hitting the wooden brown floors. Standing tall and handsome in all his glory was Dominic.
With a hold of the brown feminine hand Dominic brought Monica's body closer to his with a small kiss to her forehead.
"You look so beautiful"
"Thank you, you look very handsome "
Dominic held the passenger seat door open for Monica . Making sure she was comfortable he closed the door walking to his side and began to drive to one of his favorite restaurants.
Arriving at the restaurant valet took the car to Dominic's usual spot. Monica let her eyes dance around the restaurant she completely fell in love with the interior.
"Dominic, this is beautiful. I've never been to a place so fancy". Staring at the gorgeous man before her, she seen his perfect pearly whites smiling behind his pink lips.
"I'm glad you like".
As the night went on the pair engaged in conversation ranging from numerous of topics, laughs were heard between the two and much flirting was done.
With full stomachs they both stood outside the restaurant to go bags in tote waiting for valet.
"Monsieur Dominic!" The personal chef yelled out rushing toward the man . Dominic turned his head the French man saying a hello to Monica first.
"Did everyone enjoy the food? ". He spoke with a thick French accent.
"Yes, very much! Thank you".
Monica's feet began to hurt from standing in her heels, not wanting to interrupt Dominic's conversation she took it upon herself to sit on a nearby bench, unstrapping her sore feet from the killer heels.
"Don't I know the feeling, you get all dolled up just to be in pain by the end of the day." The lady threw her hands up dramatically.
A tall woman with 2 French braids down her back and her body clad in a black two piece outfit spoke up beside Monica.
"Yeah, I guess" . She laughed awkwardly .
As a homeless man walked past the expensive restaurant he seen the people outside but that still didn't stop him from attacking Monica, trying to take her purse.
" hey! "
"Monica!"
Monica saw the girl that was once speaking to her, hop on the man's back and start chocking him from behind, the whole thing would've been comedic if it were maybe in a movie but unfortunately this was reality .
With a strong grip on her purse she was finally able to pull the bag out of the culprits hands making her fall on her butt , some of her belongings flying towards the dark sky and hitting the hard ground.
Dominic was quick to grab the man and beat him senseless, punch after punch bruised fist hitting flesh. With a few security guards coming to get Dominic off the beaten man he was able to calm his self down a bit.
Grabbing Monica after she picked up her things off the floor, he rushed to his car and drove off back to his house. Entering the dark and quiet home , Monica walked in slowly and sat her things on the kitchen counter
"Are you ok ?" Dominic asked walking towards Monica, but all he was met with was broken cries .
