Essa Pov

I went to class today didn't do much cause it was a Monday so we just had to take some notes on a lecture. After class I went shopping with Lynda for a dress. I have no idea what I wanted really, I just knew it had to be something formal and it was going to be with rich people I know their dress will cost thousands of dollars. Lynda and I went around to a couple of stores and I really didn't find what I liked but when we went to this one store this dress caught my eyes and I was in love, the dress was gorgeous and everything more but when I looked at the price tag, I wish I didn't. The dress price was out of my league

"You know you can buy the dress, wear it and return" Lynda said

"But I can't dirty it or anything"

yes I can buy the dress for one night and return but if this dress gets dirty or anything I'll probably end up being broke so thats something to think about .

Lynda did my hair and makeup since she was good at those stuff. when I looked in the mirror I loved what she did and it would go so well with my dress. Khalil texted my at 7 asking if I was done, I texted him back saying yes and also gave him my apartment number.

"You said it wasn't like that" Lynda said I laughed

"It's not" I said

she gave me the side eye like I was lying "so you spent the night at his house and he invited you to his family event, and it's not like that" I smiled

"I don't know maybe he needed to bring a date"

"Yea right, but get it".

The doorbell ringed and Lynda opened it, I heard her saying how good he looked in his suit and she acted like she was presenting a pageant contestant when she called me to the door.

"Ignore her" I said to Khalil

"And lock my door if your leaving okay" I said to Lynda.

Khalil and I walked outside to his car he opened the door for me and closed it when I got in then he went around got in the driver seat and drove off.

When we got at the restaurant Khalil came around to my side and opened my door, he stood in my way and just looked at me he touched the side of my neck and said "your gorgeous".

He licked his lips, looked down, smiled and said "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that"

"It's okay and thanks" I replied. My heart was beating pretty fast due to him touching my neck. He helped me out of the car and closed the door after me. "That dress is beautiful" he said

"Thanks, your suit is not too bad also" I smiled.

when we got in the restaurant we checked in reservations I looked around at the restaurant which was beautiful and fancy. Khalil got waved over to a table with a older man and two beautiful lady's when we got to the table he hugged the man and kissed and hugged the lady's

"Essa this is my father Kevin Sharieff, my mother Michelle Sharieff and my sister Melanie" he said introduce everyone and I said hi to them

"And everyone this is Essa my friend and don't interrogate her tonight" "she is beautiful Khalil" his mother said

"Have a seat you two" his father said Khalil pulled out my chair for me and he sat on the other chair at my side

"Your dress is gorgeous, who's it by" his sister Melanie asked

"It's by Valentino" I said

"how much did you spend on it" she asked.

Why was that her business I spent enough on it maybe not enough for them but enough for me to the point I would be broke if I didn't return it, I didn't have anyone paying my bills for me

"Melanie!" Khalil yelled

"Are you in school" his father asked me

"Yes medical school" I replied it was like I was in an interview

"Oh your an intelligent young lady".

This bell rang and waiters started bring out trays of food "are you allergic to any food?" Khalil asked "No" I replied.

Later in the night more people end up coming which was friends and family of his parents.

"I need to get this stain off the dress or I'm screwed" ugh I had this big wine stain on my dress and it was Khalil sister that did it on purpose

"I'm sorry but your sister is a bitch" I said sorry but not sorry she did it on purpose she knew what she was doing.

"Where you going to return the dress" he asked

"Hell yes I can't afford to keep it"

"Do you like the dress" he looked over at me then looked back at the road

"Yes but I can't keep it, I'm be homeless and everything cause of this dress ugh why did I buy it" I started crying he looked over at me and seen I was crying I felt stupid but yes I would be homeless "don't cry" he wiped a tear from my face

"how much was the dress" he asked

"You don't want to know" I replied

"I can find someone to take the stain from"

"No that's to much"

"It's fine I feel like it's my fault if I didn't invite you, you wouldn't have brought the dress."

When we got to my apartment building Khalil parked the car and got out and opened my door and walked up with me "I'll get the dress from you now and bring it in tomorrow morning"

I opened the door I let him in first and locked the door after me.

"sorry it's not so big, you can wait here" he smile and said

"it's cute and cozy"

I went in my room and changed out of the dress and put it back in it's back and zipped it up I found my pj shorts and shirt and put them on. I took the makeup off my face and brought the dress to Khalil in the living room.

"Thanks for tonight" I said

"Your welcome" he smiled

"Damn I wanna take you to bed" he looked me up and down slowly

I laughed "ok bye you can go now "

"I'm kidding, no but if you would let me I would" he said

"Yeah bye" I started pushing him out the door then he stopped and hugged me he than put his hands was on my butt like I wouldn't notice

"Your hand are kinda to low" he fixed them and I hugged him back.

I'm not sure why he's so touchy, he's getting a little comfortable I see.
