Love at Fifth Sight

Chapter 12

"Oh Dinah, baby, you look AMAZING!!! I still don't understand why you wouldn't wear the dress I picked out," Milika said as she looked over her daughter once more.

Dinah laughed as she rolled her eyes, "Because I already got an opinion on what to wear and I like it."

"Whatever Dinah, either way Nela's got some serious eye candy tonight," Funaki said, complimenting her younger cousin.

Gordon walked into the living room, just before Dinah was about to leave, "You tell that thumb of yours that if he breaks your heart again, his ass is mine."

Dinah rolled her eyes and laughed as she went to go hug her dad, "Yes dad."

Gordon laughed too as he hugged her back, "I'm serious Dinah, you tell me and I'll get your uncles and will give him the Polyest of all poly beat downs."

Dinah smiled, "He says he's changed and I believe him, but thank you anyway dad."

Dinah grabbed her bag as she was about to head out the door.

"Have fun baby girl, and be safe," Gordon quickly added.

Dinah smiled, "Thanks, I will. Love ya!"

She walked out the door and to her car. She was running late, so she had to hurry. She arrived at the restaurant and saw Nela waiting outside. He was dressed up all snazzy in his dress pants and white button down shirt, but looked bored as he rocked back and forth on his heels. As soon as he saw Dinah he lit up and straightened himself out. As she got closer he offered her his hand.

"Mi lady," he said politely.

Dinah smiled and took his hand, "Why thank you."

Nela led Dinah inside and to their table. They ordered their food and ate and laughed. All the while there were very few fans who approached them. It was a very good night.

"I have to use the restroom. I'll be right back," Dinah said as she wiped her mouth and got up.

"Ok," Nela said with a slight smile.

Dinah left the table and went into the bathroom. As Nela waited at their table someone approached him.

"What are you doing here?!?! You have to leave. NOW!" Nela said frantically as he stood up to lead her out.

"Oh come on Nela. Just let me stay until she comes back."

"No!!! She thinks I haven't seen you since she's seen you," he confessed.

"No duh! I imagine if she knew we still were in 'contact' you two wouldn't be here right now."

"Just leave she can't know that-" Nela started to say but he was interrupted.

"What! That your still cheating on her. She'll find out soon. They always do."

"Look! I love her I really do, but sometimes I just need a break with you. Please don't do this," No neck pleaded.

"Ok darlin. But first a kiss for my troubles."

"Now?!" he asked worriedly.

"Yes, now."

Nela sighed in frustration and kissed the mystery woman. On the lips no better!

"See you soon. Now leave before she comes out," Nela warned.

"I'm going. I'm going," the woman said as she walked out of the restraunt waving.

Nela calmed down and sat down. He waited a few more minutes and then Dinah came out.

"Sorry I took so long," apologized Dinah.

"It's no problem. Anyway, what would you like for dessert?" he asked.

"Oh I'm stuffed, I think I'll go home now," she admitted.

"Are you sure?" he said as he quirked up an eyebrow.

"Positive," she responded with a smile.

"Ok then I'll walk you to your car after I pay," grew said returning her smile.

"You don't have to do that," she said as she blushed.

"Oh but I insist," Nela said with a smile as he put the money on the table and offered up his arm.

Dinah smiled and took his arm. He walked her outside to her car, "See you soon?"

"Of course," she said with a smile as she opened her door and got in. She rolled down her window to say bye, but Nela's head already popped in. She was taken back and they both laughed.

"What are you doing?" she asked as her laugh died down.

"Well don't I get a kiss?"

Dinah smiled and gave Nela a kiss. Not a short one but it had to be a good 30 second type of kiss.

"I love you," he said as they separated.

Dinah smiled, "I love you too" she said as she rolled up her window and drove away.
