A week later

Angie's POV

Tonight me and Roman are going out on an actual date and I'm nervous. This is technically our first real date. And I don't even know where we are going or what we are doing because he refuses to tell me. I can't even get a hint.

I finally finished moving into my new apartment after returning from Los Angeles last Friday. Although I liked living with Layla, I'm really enjoying my new space. Outside of work, we haven't really talked much since I moved out. So tonight she is here helping me prepare for my date. She was a bit skeptical at first when I told her about me and Roman, but she promised to support me nonetheless as long as I'm careful.

I'm currently freaking out because I have no clue what to wear tonight.

"I can't do this Lay. I don't even know where we are going. I'm just going to text him. He needs to tell me something." I said while picking up my phone to send Roman a text message.

Me: I have no clue what to wear.

"I honestly think you're just wigging out for no reason babe. Just wear a dress. Knowing him, he will probably take you to some five star expensive restaurant."

My phone beeped and it was a text message from Roman.

Ro: Clothes.

"What did he say?"

"Clothes." I repeated while rolling my eyes.

Layla laughed while I text him back.

Me: Thanks. You were such a big help. NOT!!!"

Not even a minute later he responded.

Ro: Don't stress yourself out okay. You will look beautiful regardless of what you wear. Just look nice and dress comfortably.

"Ooh you're blushing doll. What did he say?"

I showed her my phone and she giggled.

"I can't even believe this is the same man I've been working for the last few years. What did you do to him?"

"Nothing." I shrugged.

"Mmhmm. But hurry up and find something. I need to do your makeup. We only have a hour before he picks you up and I need to be gone."

"What are you rushing for? You have plans tonight?"

"Yes. You remember my friend Stu I told you about?"

"Yeah. What about him?"

"Well he is in town visiting so we are going out. Probably just going to hit up a pub or something."

"Ooh get it girl."

"Whatever." She replied laughing.

Layla did my makeup and curled my hair. Afterwards, I finished getting dressed. I decided to wear a black halter top maxi dress with a pair of gold gladiator sandals.

As Layla was leaving out, Roman had just arrived. He was dressed in a black polo shirt and some dark wash Levi's. And he looked so sexy. I smiled at him as he returned it.

"You look so beautiful baby girl."

"Thank you."

"Come on. Let's get out of here."

I took his hand as he lead me out to his car."

"Ooh a Chrysler 300! I love these cars. Did you just get it?" I asked.

"No I've actually had it awhile. You just never saw it before."

"What year is it?"

"2015."
