Chapter 4- Date Pt.2

Nique P.

Daniel drove me to a nice looking restaurant. It wasn't the fanciest nor was it the most expensive, but I loved his attitude that he carried and showed. Money doesn't buy you love. Start from the bottom to make it to the top. The waiter seated us at the reserved table he had for us. I picked up the menu.

"What do you want Zonnique?" He looked up from his menu.

"It's a hard decision." I smiled shyly.

"How about we share the spaghetti and meatballs?" He put his hand on top of mine.

"Your so corny. How long have you planned to say that?" I rolled my eyes playfully.

"Since I met you." He chuckled. I shook my head. 

"I guess we can share the spaghetti. But get to close and you'll lose your tongue." I said in all seriousness. 

"Zonnique can you take your wall down for at least five minutes?" He sighed. 

"What 'wall' are you talking about?" I raised an eyebrow.

"This little 'I'll kill you if you love me' wall. I'm not going to hurt you." Daniel looked deeply into my eyes. It was quiet for awhile until I got up and excused myself to the bathroom. I opened the door and walked in. I sat down my clutch and looked into the mirror. What wall was he talking about? I have no wall put up. I examined myself a little longer. Is that what people thought of me? I'd kill them if I they had affection and actually cared for me? I wiped my tears and took my phone out my purse. I dialed Bahja. 

"Hello?" Bahja picked up.

"Hey Bahj." I said still a little shooken.

"Zonnique I thought you were on a date?" Bahja asked. 

"I am. I'm in the bathroom. I just have a quick question for you. Am I mean person?" I still looked in the mirror.

"Well no it's just this little boundary you surrond yourself which makes people BELIEVE your a mean person. I hope your not showing that boundary on your date Zonnique." She said.

"I-Im not. Listen Bee I gotta go. Call you later. Don't burn up my house. Bye." I hung up. I tucked my phone back in my purse and made my way out the bathroom and back to the table with Daniel.

"Are you alright Zonnique? I didn't mean to hurt your feelings." He said sincerely.

"Im fine. Let's just get back to the date and have fun before you drive me to the location." I smiled. 

"I meant to ask you where am I driving you to?" He asked. 

"I'm not telling you yet. I just hope you can drive fast." I laughed lowly and then took a sip of my water.

"Okay..." He gulped. The man came back with a huge bowl of spaghetti with the meatballs set up just like Lady and The Tramp. Daniel whispered something in the man's ear and the man nodded. He looked back at me.

"Let's dig in." He grinned. I picked up my fork and swirled some spaghetti onto it. I heard something clank then clack onto back onto the plate. I looked down and it was a silver metal doggy tag. I picked it up and read it. 

"Zonnique I know we just met but would you give me the honor to call you mine?" It read. I looked up and Daniel was standing up with red roses, a box of chocolate, and a long black box. 

"Will you?" He looked so cute when he said that. I thought it over and my positives weighed over the negative. 

"Yes Daniel." I smiled as he gathered me into his arms. 

"Wait. Open the black box." He said with giddy. He haded me the black box and I slowly opened it. It was a necklace with Me and Daniels name engraved on it along with todays date. 

"Awh Daniel your so sweet. But how'd you know I was going to say yes?" I was curious to know.

"Good girls have great mindsets." He nodded. I got up and gave him another hug and a kiss on the lips.We we on with our dinner and after that we went to his house and watched Disney movies. What guy wants to watch Disney movies? Him. That's one quality that makes him special and different. After watching about five Disney movies that ranged from Aladdin to The Little Mermaid we fell asleep attatched to each other. 

I felt someone shaking me. I flickered my eyes open. It was Daniel and he was dressed in a black hoodie, black jeans, black polo boots, a black beanie, along with black shades. Okay then...

"It's time boo." He said. 

"Why you wearing all that?" I giggled.

"Because I have a feeling what y'all about to do is insane." He shrugged and took a sip from his Ice Tea. I nodded. I op ened the bag I brought along with me from the house. I took the clothes out and ran into his bathroom. Y'all know the get up and the set up so no need to explain. After I was all done and dressed. I walked down stairs. I slipped my pistol in my waist line.

"Danny boo you might want one of these." I threw a gun at him. He inspected it and then tucked it into his waist line. 

"So whats the plan?" He said while we walked outside to his car. 

"Just go along with me and you'll stay alive." I said getting into the car. I saw Bahja and Rayan already in the back seat, loaded and ready. Daniel got in the drivers seat and buckled up. 

"Everybody buckle up." He smiled. We looked at him like he was crazy. 

"I'm not driving until y'all buckle up." He sat back. Bahja put a gun to his temple. 

"Alrighty let's drive." He put started the car and drove off. As he drove I told him the location and where to hide the car. 

"You got it?" I asked. 

"I got it. We got it." He looked at me and placed his hand on mine.
