Today was the day : my first date with Cheryl. I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting my jewelry on my neck making sure everything is in place.

Tonight was going to be fun and memorable, I decided we'd go to the skating rink. It was different, laid back, and would give us plenty of time to talk and laugh together.

As I was getting ready, Sweetpea and Fangs were at my place hanging out, doing what they did best - teasing me.

Sweetpea - Really you're going out with a stripper

Toni - What about it nigga

Fangs - Man, she probably got some wild moves

He started to laugh and Sweetpea joining in and I rolled my eyes

Toni - Man suck my dick.... She's more than a stripper

Sweetpea - Yeah ok T-pain I'm in love with a stripper having ass

They kept at it until i finally left the house, grabbing my keys, wallet and heading out the door. My first stop was to pick up some flowers. I wanted to make a good impression and show Cheryl that I was serious about her.

With a bouquet of roses in hand, I drove to Cheryl apartment, feeling a mix of excitement and nerves.

When I arrived, I got out of the car and walked up to her door, flowers in hand. I knocked and waited, my heart was pounding like a bitch. After a while Cheryl opened the door, she looked at stunning - even in a simple outfit, she took my breath away.

Toni - Hey, beautiful. These are for you

I handed her the flowers and she smiled taking them

Cheryl - Thank you, Toni. They're beautiful

She then walked back in the house and put the flowers on her counter before shutting her door. We walked to my car and opened the passenger door for her.

The skating rink wasn't far, but it was a good drive to talk and get to know each other better. We chatted about everything and nothing, the conversation flowing easily.

When we arrived at the rink, I turned to Cheryl

Toni - Don't bring your purse

Cheryl - What no Toni

Man why she got to be so hard headed

Toni - Look I'm asked you out so I'm going to pay for everything

She looked at me in disbelief

Cheryl - I can pay for my stuff

Toni - Well you don't have too and with me you'll never have too. So come on leave it.

She looked at me and then at her purse

Cheryl - Fine

Finally after that we walked in, and I brought the tickets, the roller skates, and a locker. We put our belongings in a locker before stepping onto the rink. I quickly realized I overestimated my skating abilities, but Cheryl stayed with me, helping me keep my balance.

Toni - God damn

I was rubbing my knees and then heard someone giggling. I looked to my right and saw Cheryl covering her mouth.

Toni - Man, this shit not funny

Cheryl - Yes it is

She was still laughing and I started laughing with her

As we skated, my phone buzzed. It was a text from my regular customer telling me to look up. I did and saw him nodding his head, and I excused myself from Cheryl.

Toni - I'll promise to be back

Cheryl - Ok then hurry

I made the deal quick, and just hoping Cheryl wouldn't ask too many questions when I return.

Cheryl - Where did you go

Her eyes filled with curiosity

Toni - Just had to do something

I was trying to sound casual as hell

Cheryl - What kind of something

Man why is she pressing me like that

Toni - Nothing important. Let get back to skating

I was quick to dodge her questions. But she seemed skeptical but didn't push further, and we continued skating and laughing for the rest of the night.

After we finished, we left the rink and drove back to Cheryl's apartment. We stayed in the car for a while, talking about the night and sharing stories. There was a comfortable silence before we both started leaning in.

Just as our lips were about to meet, Cheryl pulled
back.

Cheryl - I don't do this on the first date

Her voice was soft, she then kissed me on the cheek

Cheryl - Goodnight, Toni

I watched her walk into her apartment, feeling a mix of disappointment and happiness. Tonight had been fun, and I was already looking forward to seeing her again.

Smiling to myself, I drove home, the heat of her kiss still on my cheek.
