When We're Alone

Chapter 35

*Hayden*

I clip my golden hoop earrings into my piercings, while running my fingers through my straightened hair and letting it fall onto my shoulders. I grab my Charlotte Tilbury matte lipstick in the shade deep red and carefully apply it to my lips making sure I'm not left looking ridiculous. Once I'm done applying the lipstick, I put the lipstick in my purse and glance at the mirror one last time before I leave.

I was much more comfortable wearing my four inch heels now, ever since I convinced Leroy it didn't matter if I dressed good, because my personality won't change, he bought me a lot of new shoes and dresses. I wear them around the house to master the art of high heels, although I don't think I was quite perfect there yet.

I wore a black two piece outfit which came to my knees, exposing my stomach area where the two piece separated.

I grab my purse and leave the toilet, I see Leroy at the front of the room putting his blazer on and spraying himself. He looked amazing, my lips curve into a smile as I get closer to him. I place the purse on the bed and walk over to Leroy, wrapping my arms around his waist and inhale his scent.

He smelt like a sweet but strong woody smell which I loved, his signature smell.

He turns around causing me to release him and step away from him. He raises his eyebrows in approval, his lips curving into a half smile as he looks at me from head to toe for a long second. "You look fuckin' gorgeous, mamcita." Leroy says with his lips now curved into a wide smile.

I laugh. "Are you ready for Per Se?" I ask in a low tone, licking my lips.

"Mmm." He mummers, slipping his arm around my waist and pulling me into him and places his lips onto mine.

He kisses me for a long few seconds before releasing me, he lifts a finger and places it on my chin and observes that area of my face. He smiles lightly and wipes around my lips, where the lipstick appears to have smudged slightly.

I smile, thanking him.

"Let's get going." He says with a small smile.

I follow Leroy as the waiter directs us to our table in Per Se, I look around and only see grown adults eating dinner in their fancy dresses and expensive bags and I completely fitted in.

I was wearing an expensive bag, with branded shoes and bags. I was one of them, even if it was for one night.

The waiter pulls out my seat for me, I sit down thanking him with a smile. I take a peek at the menu, I did not understand any of it and judging by Leroy's reaction to the menu, neither did he.

I laugh uneasily. "So what are you going to have?" I ask.

He shrugs. "Whatever you're going to have." He says with a tight smile, tapping on the menu as he carefully analyses it as though he was hoping to find a burger option on it.

The waiter returns and asks us what we would like to order.

I clear my throat awkwardly. "I think... I'm going to get the duck?" I say unsurely, but end my sentence with a smile to reassure the waiter.

"Me too." Leroy follows quickly.

"Anything to drink?" The waiter asks with a warm smile.

I look at Leroy, not knowing what the drink option was. "Your fanciest wine please, the bottle." Leroy says with a small nod.

"The whole bottle, sir?" The waiter asks as though he didn't hear quite correctly.

Leroy nods. "That'll be it, thank you." He says.
