"Oh my God...could you stop, please?"
She laughed slightly under his gaze.

"What? I asked you a question," Heru replied, his eyes never leaving hers.

"Yeah, I know, but their just burning into me right now."

He hid his smile and need to laugh at her clear shyness.

"Aight...I look dis way den.What's ya favorite song?" Heru questioned, as he turned this head to his left.

The two were currently 'reunited' from their first meeting, as Heru did indeed wait until she turned eighteen, taking her out to a nice restaurant three days after her birthday.

The two had seen one another in passing and spoke, but kept it at that. Once her birthday came though, Heru had gotten her number from her cousin. The first time he called, they talked all night and into the early morning.

It was quite refreshing for him.

The slightly expensive restaurant on the Upper east side was a lot for the young entrepreneur/street pharmacist, but he wanted to impress her for another chance to see her again. So here they were.

"Real Love by Mary...and you already know that," Irie replied, quickly taking a sip of her water.

"Don't play wit me."

"It's not?" He played dumb.

"Hell naw...and you know it ain't."

"Ha...and I love it when you get spicy. That's right. Dawg my ass out and put me back in line, beautiful."

Irie smacked her lips and rolled her eyes.

"Anyway...this is really nice," Irie replayed referring to the restaurant.

It was called Chateau House, most famous for it's steak and various wine selections.

Truly a four star restaurant.

"I know. I figured this was more ya speed, so..." Heru took a sip of his red wine.
