Date (noun)
A social or romantic appointment or engagement.
---------------------------------------------'Hi it's Xavier, I was wondering if you'd like to go out for dinner?' He asked.
'Hey, are you asking me out on a date?' I asked sarcastically.
'Yeah I am actually.' He said cockily.
'Oh okay, yeah, when and where?' I questioned.
'I'll pick you up at half seven and it's a surprise.' He replied.
'Okay I'll see then. Bye.' I hung up and screamed internally. Xavier asked had asked me on a date! Xavier Knight has asked me on a date.
'ABIGAIL!!' I shouted, it was her off day so she was in the house.
'WHAT?' She screamed back.
'COME HERE!' I replied.
I heard footsteps and then my door opened.
'What's up?' She asked slightly worried.
'Xavier asked me on a date tonight.' I said.
'Okay well I'll help yo- WAIT Xavier asked you on a date!' She nearly screamed in my face.
'Yeah for tonight.' I replied.
'Oh okay no problem.' She said sarcastically.
'When is the date?' She asked
'7 o'clock.' I replied.
'7! Brooke that's in 3 hours!! You have a shower I'll pick your clothes out and I'll do our hair and makeup.' She said quickly whilst guided me to the bathroom.
I had my shower and made my way back to my room where I was attacked day Abi.
'Come on your going to be late.'
'No I'm not it's only half four and unless your going to take almost 2 and a half hours to get me ready I'll be fine.'
'Fine my ass! It's a rule for buys to always show up early so they don't give an impression that their not punctual.' She she whilst putting me down in a chair and starting on my hair. She's covered the mirror so I couldn't see what see was doing. I was sitting for maybe three quarters of and hour to an hour before Abigail finished.
'Are you ready?'
'Yep, let's see.'
She pulled away the cover and I looked amazing thanks to her she had managed to keep my make up natural with a pop of colour on the lips, she managed to make my usually dull brown eyes brighter, bright red lipstick. She created loose waves in my thick brown hair.
She handed me a pile of clothes and left the room for me to get changed. I put on the clothes trusting her style. Abi had picked out a red wrap shirt and black skinny jeans. I told her she could come in.
'Damn! He won't be able to keep his hands off you!' Abigail stated.
'I'll take that as a statement then.' I said sarcastically.
'Of course. You should dress nor elite this than your normal clothes you'd have boys falling over their feet everyday.' She said with a big smile.
There was a knock on the door. We both looked at the time and Abigail nearly screamed.
'That will be him!'
'Could you please go get it I need to put in my shoes, perfume and grab my bag.'
I asked nicely.
'Of course. I'll show him all you baby photos while I'm at it.' She replied.
Abigail went downstairs and answered the door I could her faint talking.
'Hi, Abigail.'
'Hey, Xavier.' She replied.
'You better look after her tonight, and if you don't well I can be pretty inventive.' She added.
I thought now would be a good time for me to head downstairs so she doesn't scare him away.
I made my way down status and they stopped whatever conversation they were having.
'You look beautiful, Brooke.' Xavier said.
'Thanks you don't look to bad yourself.'
I replied. He was wearing tight fight suit bottoms, which made his bum pop, and a fitted white shirt which showed his muscles off.
He took my arm and guided me down to his car where I turned to Abigail to wave to her, she waved back.After a twenty minute drive we arrived at the restuarnt. The front of the building had lovely fairy lights which made the garden look mystical, as it was a warm summers night there were a few people sitting out the front. Xavier and I made our way through and got greeted at reception.
'Hi there how may I help you?' A happy looking woman, who's was maybe 40 asked us.
'Hi, reservation under Knight.' Xavier aid with a smile.
'Of course Mr. Knight follow me this way.' She replied.
We got seated at a window seat where you could see a little river which had a few swans swimming in it.
We were startled when a waitress as came over.
'Hi I'm Lisa, I'll be your waitress for tonight, here are your menus. I'll be back in a little while to take your order.' Lisa said happily.
'Thank you.' I replied.
Lisa walked away and we looked at the menus. Everything was dead expensive, even the salads.
After a while if debating Xavier ordered a steak medium to well done and a glass of water and I ordered a homemade carbonara and a glass of water as well.
We made small talk through the dinner, I excused my self as to go to the bathroom and when I came back Xavier was waiting for me with my jacket.
'Are you ready to go and pay?' I asked
'I've already paid.' He replied.
'Why have you paid I was going to pay for my meal.' I replied getting slightly angry.
'Because we are on a date and the man always pays for the meal.' He said.
'Fine. Okay.' I said and followed him outside. We walked for ten minutes and arrived at a lovely park which had a small lake in the middle of it with some swans and ducks. We sat down on the grass, but I lay down once I was comfy. I watched the stars and the moon move slowly up above. I was maybe lying like that for 10 minutes till I felt as if someone was watching me, I turned around to see Xavier staring at me.
'What?' I asked with a smile.
'Nothing just watching the beautiful scenery.' He said.
'You were looking at me.' I replied.
'I know.' He replied with a smile.
I blushed a little when I realised he was calling me beautiful.
We stayed like this for maybe half an hour have small talk now and then.
We headed back to the car at half 9, we made it to the car with my shoes in one hand and Xavier's in the other. We reached the passenger side of the car were Xavier stopped me before I entered and pulled me close and leaned down, he placed a kiss on my forehead, which lingered but he smelt so good and it felt so good so I didn't mind.
'What was that for.' I questioned.
'For going on the date with me.' He replied.
I replied back with a smile. He let go of me and opened my door so I could get in. Once he was in and strapped in he started the ignition and we were off headed back to my house. We stopped at a red light and Xavier grabbed my hand and caressed it gently.
'Thank you Brooke.' He said.
'Why?' I questioned.
'For going on a date with me, for me not just my money.' He said genuinely.
'Of course. It was fun and the food was great. And if you know me by now I don't like people because of how much money they have.' I said honestly.
He smiled and bring my hand up to his mouth and kissed it. His lips were rough against the backs of my hand.
I didn't realise that we were at my house already, the lights were still in which means Abigail's still up waiting to here about it.
'Thank you Xavier for the wonderful night.' I leaned over and kissed his right cheek.
'I would invite you in but Abi's just going to question both of us if we go in.' He gave a small laugh.
'But I'll text you later tomorrow as I'm working the mourning shift with Abi tomorrow.' I said.
'No problem and I understand I'll get the same from Everton when I go back.' He replied
I opened the door and exited and walked up to my door. I turned around to wave to Xavier, he waved back with a large smile on his face. He drove off and then I entered the house ready for Abi's interview but I found her sleeping on the couch so I quietly walked passed her to my room and got ready from bed when I got a text from Xavier. 'Goodnight B x.'---------------------------------------------
