It was around 7pm and I was making myself beautiful. I put my black dress that I bought in the morning, with some high heels. I let my long brown hair along my body and put some red lipstick. "I hope David understood the address and wasn't deceived" I said to myself worried. I put the Aladdin Sane vinyl and began to sing. I heard a knock at the door. I opened and it was David with an enormous roses bouquet. He smiled at me and I saw his crooked teeth.
-"Hi, pretty girl. He said and kissed my cheek.
-Hello David. I responded shyly.
-You look gorgeous ! He exclaimed agape.
I blushed
-You look great too." I said sincerely.
He was wearing a checkered tuxedo which contrasted in perfect harmony with his wild red hair.
I put the flowers in a vase and look at myself in the mirror one last time.
-"Vicky, we must go if we don't want to be late at the restaurant. I booked a table. He lanced looking his watch.
-I'm ready" I said happily.
I took his arm and we went to his blue Mercedes.
"Nice car" I exclaimed amazed. He smiled at me.
I've always wanted to have a car, but I was just a disc seller without much money.

David took me to a little restaurant on Manhattan, it was a French restaurant called Le Charlot
We sat down and he looked at me. His electric blue eyes were fixed on my face.
-"What to you want to order, my sweet lady ?? He asked politely.
-Hmm.. What about a Nicoise ?? (it's a french salad with lettuce, eggs, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and olive oil.)
-Why not ?? He giggled because my very bad French accent.
-Don't laugh !" I giggled back.
The waitress came and we ordered two Nicoises with a bottle of red wine.
-"Well, can you say something else in French then Nicoise ?? He asked smiling.
-Yes but Nothing spectacular, I can say : Bonjour je m'appelle Victoria. That's it. What about you ?? I laughed.
-Hmm.. Bonjour Victoria je m'appelle David j'ai 25 ans. He said proudly.
-How old are you ?? He asked curiously.
-I'm 21 tomorrow." I responded excited. While we were talking our dishes came.
The Nicoise was divine. French food was really my favorite food in the world.
We finished our delicious dinner and made our way to my flat.

Once in front of the entrance door he stopped the car and looked at me.
"You know Vicky, it's only since a few days that I know you but
It seems to be since forever and this dinner with you was perfect. I wanted to ask you if you okay to be my girlfriend. Sorry if it's a bit precipitated but I really love you, you're really different of other girls."
Instantly I kissed him passionately.
"Yes, I want to be your girlfriend David." And we hugged. I kissed him once more and went to my little flat. I immediately jumped on my bed and fell asleep. It was the end of this wonderful day.
