Fast forward to the next night. Cheryl picked Louis up to spend the night at her house because I wasn't sure what time I would be home & plus, he really likes Cheryl. I had gone out earlier to pick out an outfit for tonight. I'm not saying that I HAD to impress Keanu, but I wanted to.
I wore a tight "little black dress" that accentuated my ass the way I knew Keanu would like it. He's a gentleman and wouldn't normally look, but this dress.. This was a dress you couldn't stare away from.
I wore red pumps and my hair was down - I scrunched it to look more natural. I knew if Keanu picked me up to go out there'd be all types of talk the next day, so I met up with him instead.
We went to this Cuban restaurant called "El Floridita" and it was actually really nice.
I walked into the restaurant and happened to look to my left and immediately saw Keanu sitting there, waiting for me. My heart skipped a little.. Or a lot. I was nervous. This is the first time we'd be going out together as single people. Anything could happen and not that I didn't want it to, I was just nervous. I don't date much.
I walked over to him and he stood up.
"Sandy!" He said smiling. He grabbed my lower back and pulled me in for a hug. I hugged him back, he smelt so good, like a man. He kissed me on the cheek which was really nice because his lips were soft and comforting.
We sat and he started talking
Him: "you look really beautiful tonight."
He wasn't really making eye contact with me and he really never did but he smiled a lot.
Me: "Thank you. You look pretty hot yourself" I laughed even though I wasn't kidding.
Him: "Have you ever been here? None of the waiters and waitresses here speak good English. Sometimes they get your order wrong, too"
This time he looked at me as if waiting for my response
Me: "Well then what the hell! Why did you pick this place?!"
I laughed and snorted on accident. oops.
"Oh god.. I'm sorry" and I laughed again
Him: "Because it's great. I thought it would be fun and yanno.."
Me: "What?"
Him: "Maybe if they got our order wrong it'd give us more time to talk.."
I smiled and looked down pretending to fix my dress, I didn't want him to see my face going red.
Me: "In that case I love this place!" I winked.
Well our waiter did in fact get our order wrong and we were there for like an hour and a half longer than expected, but it was.. It was great to say the least. We talked about just about everything and laughed at just about everything, too. He held my hand from across the table for a little while and god, it felt so nice. I really didn't want to rush into anything though. I had just left Marlon & the last thing I wanted to do was confuse Louis.
But I don't know.
I trusted Keanu a lot. And so since Louis wouldn't be home I invited him to come over for maybe a drink or two. When we got there and walked into the house where the kitchen was, he all of a sudden grabbed me from the waist, pushed me up against the fridge and kissed me.
He rubbed up and down my back and at one point grabbed my ass (the dress worked, I think) he started unzipping the back and caressed my bare back, fiddling with my thong as if he wanted to rip it off of me. He was so close to me. His mouth was warm and his tongue felt amazing on mine.
He soon moved down to my neck and I grabbed onto him tight. He started lifting up my dress and as bad I wanted him, as bad as I wanted to be with him, I had to stop him there.
He stopped kissing me and looked at me with eyes that said "I understand" I pushed my dress down and gently took his hands off of my lower back.
"I want you. So bad. It's just that I don't know what that would mean and I don't want to be stupid about this." I put my arms around his waist, looking up at him. "You don't have to explain Sandy, I know. And I wouldn't want you to do anything you'd end up regretting either. I care about you. You're a sexy, smart, beautiful woman and you deserve the time to make the best choices you can." He said lifting my chin up to look at him.
"Thank you," I said smiling "can we take a rain check?" I kissed him one more time and then pulled back waiting for an answer
"To be continued." He said smiling back.
So we went upstairs and laid down together. Him close to me, me closer to him. He held me any way a woman would want to be held and said things to me that no ones ever said before. Beautiful things. And I hated myself for even thinking it but I did. I thought
"He could be the one"
Maybe too soon but when he was wrapped around me, playing with my hair and breathing down my neck, I didn't care.
We fell asleep together. It was the most innocent and peaceful sleep I've ever had and it was with him.
That's all that I cared about at that time.
Him.
