that night

Jazmara

I looked in the mirror one more time making sure I looked perfect. I turned in the mirror , looking at my white Samantha outline dress with the low plung in the front. With a beautiful but simple silver necklace with a single diamond in the middle and matching diamond studs. I had my grey suade pumps on and my hair was in a fishtail halo braid. With long curly pieces in the front. I did my makeup not too much not too little I still don't know what Malik really likes. I had on light pink lipstick with a little lip gloss over for shine and a little sparky eyeshadow and mascara. I had gotten into a daze putting the final touches on my makeup that I lost track of time and didn't hear my phone ringing. I grabbed it and saw the screen read Malik. I answered and quickly said "I'm on my way down!" I grabbed my clutch and hurried out trying not to fall in these pumps.

When I got downstairs, I saw Malik looking in his phone giving me a little time to admire his freshly faded hair cut, his white fitted button down polo shirt that he left the first two buttons undone and the sleeves cuffed up to reveal his tatted forearms. He wore some nicely fitting dress pants with white polo loafers. He looked extremely handsome. I turned and locked my door to my condo and then made my way to Malik. When I turned back around he was looking at me slightly biting his lip. I blushed. When I walked up to him he took my hand and turned me around slowly, and I giggled. He said "Mara you look gorgeous." I smiled and said 'thank you'. He opened the passenger door for me and I got in and he closed it making his way around to the drivers side. He turned the radio on and the song 'Handsome Balla-Rihanna' came on and we both started singing, then looked at each other and bust out laughing.

We finally arrived at this very sexy restaurant with a very mature vibe. The man at the front asked Malik his name and he said "Reservations for Howard", the man said "Follow me Mr. and Mrs. Howard" we looked at each other and followed him to the back. He seated us and took our drink orders. Malik ordered a bottle of champagne. We were all alone in this back area. It was so intimate and pretty. I couldn't help but admire my surroundings. Malik said, "... Its not as beautiful as what's right in front of me" I looked down and blushed. He said " you never have to hide your face from me your gorgeous." I looked him in his eyes. So perfect... We started having small talk and some time passed, finally our food arrived. I was eating all cute, knowing any other day I would've been elbows deep in this pasta, Malik must've noticed. He chuckled and said " Lil mama who you tryna impress .. Eat." I felt so relieved and less tense. So I started eating normally but not too comfortably. We finished eating then sipped our drinks and continued talking. " I'm having a great time with you.." Malik said and lifted my hand kissing it lightly. We haven't kissed yet but I would love to feel those soft lips against mine. I must've been in a daze because the next thing he said caught me off guard, "Am I turning you on?" I was so embarrassed. He said 'relax' and pushed his chair out slightly and got up. I hadn't noticed the music playing in the background until he asked me to dance with him. I took his hand and got up, I hadnt noticed how tall he was before even with these heels on I barely reached his neck. He was 6'3 1/2. I was barely 5'O, 5'6 with the heels. I slowly swayed from side to side. I put my head on his chest and listened to rhythmic sound of his heart beating this night is perfect. When he had stopped I looked up at him and he lifted my chin a little higher and softly kissed my lips, it was the sweetest kiss. Better than all the ones I had imagined.

He started to pull away and I tiptoed falling into is strong arms and deepened the kiss. His hand roamed down my back and softly gripped my small plump ass. Finally I pulled away biting my lip. He had the sexiest look in his eyes. He said "Damn girl" I smiled. After a short while we got our stuff and he left the money on the table and we left.

He drove me back to my condo and he came and opened the door to let me out of the car I grabbed his hand and got out. He walked me halfway to my door then stood there waiting for me to go in. I unlocked the door and walked in, I yelled "Goodnight" and he said "Goodnight Mara" then I closed the door behind me, I went to walk away from it, but then quickly hurried back to the door and opened it coming face to chest with Malik who was about to knock on the door. I look up at him and smiled; "would you like to come in ..." He gave a nervous laugh and said "I'd love too"
