Who Knew?

Our First Date?

Lena-

Rummaging through my closet trying to figure out what I was going to wear when Stef and I go out this evening, it's Friday and I am so looking forward to seeing her again. A half hour  goes by before I decide what I am going to wear and run to take a quick shower, apply my make-up and go over my curls. Realizing my nerves must have been getting the best of me when on my way out the door I notice that I am only wearing my slip and no shoes I haven't been this nervous since my first date, rushing back into the house I put on my dress and look for heels to wear with the dress now I am ready to go and pick up Stef, wow this sounds like a date.

Stef-

After dropping Brandon off at his dads, I arrive home take a quick shower and get dressed in the slacks and top I had laid out on my bed, feeling a little overly anxious about showing Lena around San Diego. Lena should be picking me up soon, hope she likes what I am wearing.... listen to me I'm acting like this is a date. Sitting on the couch with my knee bouncing nervously, my stomach jumps when I hear the door bell. Going over to let her in, Lena you look amazing, I say. Thanks so do you, she said. So before we get going do you have a game plan of where we will be going this evening, she ask. Well I was thinking maybe we could go to this new club I heard so much about from one of the officers I work with, I said. He said that the ambiance is incredible and the people are pretty nice, I continued. Okay sounds like we have a plan, she said with a smile. God she is so beautiful, I think to myself, returning the smile. So lets go, I said as we exit my apartment. 

Lena-

After entering the address in my GPS me and Stef get ready to leave, but for some reason I felt like I wanted to spend time alone with her, not share her. Stef I was wondering if you would mind if we could kind of spend a little time getting to know each other, so is it okay we go somewhere to be alone, I asked. Surprising me, she agreed.  I thought you wanted to meet people tonight, I'm glad you think the same thing I do, I would love to spend some alone time with you Lena, she said, with a smile. So where to, I ask. How about if you don't mind  we can go back into my apartment and spend time there, since my son is at his dad's if that's okay with you I mean, she suggested.  That would be great, I said. It may not be a club or anything but we would be alone, she said. We both exit the car and go inside her apartment. It may not be much, but it's home, she said. No it's wonderful Stef, I said. Well I could fix us something, I'm not the best cook, but I'm not awful either, she said. No why don't we order something in, I suggest. Smart girl, I wouldn't want to subject you to eating my food, she laughed. No it's not that, it's just that I want to be able to spend the time getting to know you better, instead of, she said. So I thought it would be easier to just order in, I'm paying, I said. You don't  have to do that, I invited you in, I'm the hostess, she said. Stef I was going to pay anyway when we were going out, so I might as well pay for the take out, I said. She smiled at me, you are something else Lena, she said. I try.....so do you know of any good take out restaurants? I ask. She left the room returning with a bunch of take out menus handing them to me, we both began to  laugh. I told you I'm not the best cook, she said.
