Fooled by Perfection

Chapter 10: Ocean View

The next few days fly by, and tonight is my date with Dezman. We've been in contact a little, but I was very excited that I'd get to see him. I had missed him. I got home kind of early because I left the boutique shortly after getting there. It wasn't busy, and everything was pretty much done, so I was able to get to the salon early, and thankfully, my clients were more than happy to hear I had an earlier opening available instead of their original scheduled time. I sent Dezman a text to see how his day had been.

-Hey, how's your day going?

-Long. I'm ready for this shit to be over.

I took it that he wasn't having a good day, so I sent him a text back asking...

-Do you want to cancel tonight?

-Hell nah, that's why I'm ready for it to be over.

-So, what do you have planned? Where are we going?

-Don't worry about it.

-Well, what should I wear?

-Wear what you want.

Again, Dezman's responses weren't very helpful when it came to me trying to figure out what I should wear. The temperature had dropped just a little, but it felt nice out; it wasn't too cold. I walk over to my closet and just stare for a minute. When you have so many options, it can be hard to choose. I loved this jade-colored piece that I'd never worn outside of just to try it on. It was dressy but still sexy at the same time. The top was V-shaped with straps just a few inches wider than spaghetti straps, and there were diamonds and rhinestones attached. At my waist, the sides were diamond-shape cutouts showing some skin, and the bottom half was tight around the butt but flared at the bottom. The fabric was stretchy and so comfortable that I knew Dezman would approve. I didn't have to do much to my hair since I had just styled it in these tight bounce-back curls, so it wouldn't take long to get ready.

I had forgotten to ask Dezman what time he'd be here, so I sent him another text asking what time he'd like me to be ready. He tells me seven, and he asks for my address. I text him back the information he needs, and I start to get ready. I decided I wasn't going to wear heels tonight. I had the perfect pair of silver-diamond dressy sandals to go with my look. I wanted to accentuate my eyes, so I spent a little more time focusing on that department. I decided to use green and silver eyeshadow to create an ombre look. I finished in the mirror by putting on some pink lip gloss. I wear my diamond bracelet and ring, paired with a diamond stone necklace and jade blue diamond earrings.

I finish with the time being six forty-two. At six fifty-seven, I heard a knock at my door. I open it and smile. Dezman stands there smiling back at me, showing off his perfect teeth. His canines were almost like vampire fangs. He was leaning against my doorframe, the tips of his fingers playing in his chin hairs. He had on a white, red, black, and gray shirt with a pair of jeans and matching kicks. He wore a hat that was turned backwards, and that too matched the rest of his outfit. He had on a Cuban Link diamond chain necklace and a nice watch to match. It was a simple, dressed-down look that he pulled off so well. I asked him if I looked overdressed.

*Dezman*

You look perfect. You ready?

*Ciana*

"Where are we going?? Are we going to a game? I'd like to change into jeans too, if so."

He gives me this amused-grin type of look.

*Dezman*

We're not going to a game. I wouldn't take you to a game for a date. Get your purse; let's go.
