Drowning in the Waves

Ch. 4: Get to Know You

Chapter Four

Colton's POV:

After getting over the shock I had when she first came to meet me in her tight black dress that made her curves stand out even more, slightly curly hair, and not too much makeup, I got to the fact that I was escorting the most beautiful person I had ever met.

Walking out of the house to my blue matted Audi R8 TTS, I heard her gasp. I chucked as I opened the door for her.

"You have an Audi R8 TTS?" She said mesmerized the by the car. She knows cars?

When she got in, her beautiful eyes couldn't seem to see enough of the car. They darted from place to place and a look on her face was like a child on Christmas morning.

"How can you afford a car like this?" She asked looking at me her eyes wide, "It must have costs like $110,000!" Laughing, I looked at her and saw true joy in her milk chocolate brown eyes before she realized the question she asked. "I'm sorry, that was rude I shouldn't have asked that." She looked down more embarrassed. 

"Actually $185,645 to be exact," I said rolling down the window and letting my hand rest on the side of the car, "and don't worry about questions. I'm an open book."

"How can you afford such a car?" She asked in astonishment after a moment of silence. I'm assuming she debated asking it. 

"My parent's have some money," I said shrugging. She looked at me wide-eyed.

"No shit," She mumbled looking around again. I laughed and turned the radio on.

"It was either I got to pick the car of my dreams and I have to go to college to run the family business or I pay for my college and car," I shrugged remembering that night. My parents and I got into a huge fight about who got the company whenever they passed away. I said that I didn't want it and that Charles Smith should get it, being the great co-owner he is. They gave me an option, I was to be quiet and get a free ride to college and the car of my dreams or I would leave immediately, pay for both college and a car but be free of the business, and here I am.

Before she could ask any questions I asked her one, "You know cars?" I asked glancing at her out of the corner of my eye.

"Yup, love 'em" She said laughing, "Thanks to my grandpa who got me hooked on them at the mere age of four,"

"Oh really?" I asked astonished. I must be dreaming, this beautiful girl is a car fanatic too?

"Yup, I would get tested on the new makes and models every time I went over to visit, and I loved it. I know pretty much any car, make, model and year, just with one glance," She said looking pretty damn proud of herself.

"I've never met a girl who showed the slightest interest in cars," I said shaking my head. I must be hearing her wrong.

"It's my biggest interest," She said laughing, "Where are you taking me?" She asked changing the subject.

"To the best restaurant in town," I smirked. I plan on taking her to the Red Dragon. It has always been my favorite restaurant. They have any types of food there is: Italian, Chinese, Mexican, and even cheese steaks (philly style of course).

"I thought you were going to take me out to see the town?" She asked looking at me.

"And I will, once we have our second dinner. I hope your hungry," I said smiling at her.

After a few more minutes of listening to the radio, I pulled up to the Red Dragon and led her inside.

"Reservations?" The woman dressed in black asked standing behind a counter.
