He Loves me, He Loves me not

Chapter 10

10 minutes later, We pulled into the resturant's hotel. Just like a gentlemen should, Tyrese opened up all doors and pulled out my seat. The waitress came by and took our orders. So we made small talk until our food came. "So how old are you?" I asked. "24, and yourself?" "I recently turned 22." I answered with a slight smirk. "Really? How recent?" Tyrese asked me. "Well, my birthday was the day I met you." I said smiling. "Really, I guess I was your birthday present." "I guess you can say that." Tyrese winked at me and licked his lips slowly. God this man was unbelieveably sexy. And the crazy part of it all was that he didn't even try to be sexy..it was just natural. That was such a turn on.

All of a sudden, Tyrese's phone started to vibrate in his suit pocket. "My bad Simone." He reached for his phone and answered it. "Hello?" There was a pause. "Yes...Im handiling it." He put one finger up, excusing himself from the table. I watched him walk towards the men's room until he disappeared. I sat back in my chair and relaxed. Two minutes went by and I was still sitting alone at the table. I decided that this was a good time to check my phone. I took my iPhone out of my purse and went straight to my notifications. Lo and behold, 2 new messages from August. "Great, what is is now?" I said to myself.

AUGUST-(8:30PM) So you wasn't gon tell me you had a date tonight??? I think Im obligated to know who's coming by my crib.

AUGUST-(9:00PM) Oh so you ain't gon answer me now????? Ight, its whatever, have fun wit dat lame ass nigga.

I sighed and slid my phone back into my purse. Who the fuck did he think he was?? My daddy?? Im a grown ass woman, and if I choose to go on a date with someone, that's exactly what Im going to do.I just didn't get why he cared so much, like damn. "Sorry about that." I was so annoyed with what just happened I didn't even see Tyrese come back to the table. All I could think about was the few choice words I had for August when I got back.

"Its okay, What was that about anyways?" I said slightly annoyed. "Work." "Oh..." I took a small sip of my water. "Yeah, but since were on the topic of work, you never told me what you do." "Neither did you." I said back smartly. Tyrese laughed. "Your right, but ladies first." He took a sip of his drink, waiting for me to speak. I looked down and cleared my throat. "You can say that Im...self-employed in a way." Tyrese smiled. "Well whatever you do, you clearly make bank." "What do you mean by that?" I asked curiously. "I couldn't help but notice that beautiful 5,000 dollar dress your wearing tonight." I looked down at my dress and back up at him. "Your into fashion?" "Yeah.. yeah I love it actually. Men and Womens fashion, im really into it." My eyes widened in shock. "Wow really?? I LOVE fashion, my dream is to be a stylist or maybe even one day start designing."

"That's great, are you taking any steps into starting??" He asked curiously. "Uh..no not right now, its kinda not in the cards for me." I said while looking down. "Well if you ask me, it's never to early to start going after what you want." I looked up at Tyrese and smiled. "Thanks, that means alot to me." "No prob." He smiled back.

The waitress finally brought our food to the table and we started eating. "Wait a minute." I said to Tyrese. "Is there something wrong with your food?" He asked about to call a waitress over. "No, no it's fine, thanks. I just realized something." "And what is that?" "You never told me what you did." Tyrese chuckled. "Your right. Im sorry. Uh I actually own two law firms in New york." "Wow, really?? That's interesting." I said. Damn, he really made my "self-employed" comment really look like shit. "Yeah, it is, but my phone is constantly going off, it's like nobody can run anything when Im not there." I smiled. "Oh, so your like the big man on campus huh?" "Aha, something like that."

"So Simone, your beautiful, smart, have a great head on your shoulders, and lets not forget an amazing fashion sense..How come your single?" I looked up at him and saw the concern in his eyes. "Well Tyrese, I could ask you the same thing." I said looking into his eyes. "Im single by choice." Tyrese said. I was taken back by his comment and he knew it. "Don't get me wrong now, Im single by choice because I used to have a very demanding schedule and I didn't have time for a relationship, then when I became a owner of businesses, I tried the whole dating thing and I met a wonerful girl, who I actually thought about marrying, but she ended up cheating on me...multiple times."
