Wrong soul mate

Dinner and the lake...

" Please don't puke! I can tell you want to but you'll ruin your makeup! Here take a drink of this."

Nova goes over to her bag and pulls out a small bottle of of liquor and hands it to me. I hesitate and think what the hell and take a big swig, then another and another.

"Slow down Krestra you don't want to get drunk, it should help with your nerves. Take it with you just in case."

"Thank you" but I only manage to whisper it. The liquor is burning the back of my throat something fierce. I never drink, its just something I've never done but on an occasion like this I'll make an exception. I hear someone walking up the stairs so I take the small bottle and shove it in my purse. Knock knock knock

Mom opens the door and closes it behind her. She finally looks at me and what ever she was going to say dissipates from her mouth. She smiles at me and says " My God Krestra you look so grown up. Your so beautiful darling.

"Thanks mom" I smile back

" Oh and that boy is here. He sure is handsome."

" Isn't he?! Ok Kresta are you ready?"

I smile at her but with a friend like Nova she knows the truth. She walks over and grabs my hand.

"Come on we'll walk with you downstairs."

Nova dragged me downstairs and we arrive at the bottom sooner than I wanted. I can't see them but I hear my dad and Cresil talking to one another, quit friendly, which is unusual for my dad because he's always been so protective.

" I'll be in the living room, go to him." Nova gives an encouraging shove towards the hallway and I begain to shake as I round the corner. I step into the kitchen with sweaty palms and a racing heart, then he looks over at me and I completely freeze. I can't walk no more, his gaze is paralyzing. He grins then with a few short steps is close enough to me I can feel the heat off his body. I shiver, why does that turn me on?

" Oh my Kresta you look stunning. Here, these are for you."

He hands me three burgundy colored roses. He smiles at me and never takes his eyes off mine. It's almost as if we're the only two in the room. Then I hear my father clear his throat.

" Well I guess we won't hold y'all up any longer. Krestra behave. Cresal have her home before 11:00."

" Yes sir." Cresil replies

Cresil turns to me, winks and begins leading me to the front door. To my surprise he drives a truck and a good looking one at that. It's a newer Ford all blacked out including the rims. He opens my door for me and I can't help but giggle. Men still do that? He smiles at me and gets in on the drivers side. As we begin to pull off I start feeling different, much more lighter and my ears start buring. It has to be that alcohol Nova gave me. I pat my purse 'resuring myself its still there. We arrive at the Restaurant sooner than I expected. I must have fell asleep.

" We're here Kestra." He gently touch's my shoulder to wake me " I thought I would go ahead and let you sleep I have a long night planned for us."

He winks at me again and steps out of the truck. We enter the restaurant and it is absolutely gorgeous. I've never been in a place so well put together and so nice. We're greeted by a server and he quickly sets us at a dinner table in the back away from others for a more intimate dinner. Cresil orders me a champagne with water and orders himself a scotch. I'm glad Nova gave me the alcohol before I came or I would be more nervous than I already am.

" So Kestra what are your interests? Plans for the future?" And then teasingly he adds." Oh and how often do you drink? I can't be associated with an alcoholic..."
