From The Dining Table [H.S]

Chapter 19:

Two days later

I'm getting ready for a date with Nikki. I told her I wanted to take her out to somewhere nice and she finally agreed. I specifically told her it wasn't to throw money at her, but instead for us to have fun and dress up and go out for the night.

I spray on some cologne and look at my watch. Running perfectly on time. I look at myself in the mirror and grin. I look good.

I'm wearing a black suit with red vertical stripes and a black button up shirt underneath. I run my fingers through my hair with gel, styling it messily to the side.

I wonder if Nikki likes my hair long like this. I always liked it. My hair has always been a signature part about me. From 2010 puffy, short curls, to five years later, long hair, long curls.

I slip on some black boots and walk downstairs. I grab a bottle of water and walk out to the car. I get in my Suburban.

I know I said before that I didn't want to take her in a Suburban because it wasn't a special car, but considering it was late and we were going somewhere fancy, there was going to be paps.

It's much easier to get around in a big car with pitch black tinted windows. I also called ahead and had some security waiting at the entrance of the restaurant we were going to, waiting for us. I was to call them when we were turning down the street.

I drive down my long, winding driveway and out the gates at the end. There were two girls, fans, out there and they screamed at me as I came by. I just drove by them.

I arrived fifteen minutes later at Nikki's apartment. I frown, wanting to have grabbed flowers for her but I didn't because she specifically said not to.

I get out and walk up to the door. On my way I see a small flower peeking out of the grass. I lean down and pick it out. I knock at the door and hold out the flower.

Of course, Mack opens the door. She looks at the flower then me, "That's the best flower you can do?" she scoffs playfully and turns her head over her shoulder, "NIKKI!" she screams, "HARRY IS HERE!"

She looks back at me as I hold the flower down by my side. "You look nice" she says smiling at me and admiring my fancy clothes.

I nod in thanks and I see her turn her head to look down the hall, "Have fun" she says to Nikki behind the wall. She moves away and Nikki steps into the door frame.

My mouth drops open seeing her dressed in a short, blue, float dress. Her hair sits in pretty curls on her shoulders and her make up is gorgeous.

"You look" I stop, finding a perfect word to describe her. Millions cross my mind, all of them good but not perfect. "Breathtaking."

I see her blush even under her makeup, "Stop" she giggles and looks at me, "You're not too bad yourself" she winks at me, her hand taking the fabric on my arm and tugging playfully. I want her now.

I grab her by the waist pulling her close to me, pressing my lips eagerly against hers. She kisses me back with the same amount of passion and need. I haven't seen her for two days but it feel like two years.

I step forward, leading us into her apartment, still kissing heatedly. I close the door behind me and push her against the wall behind her. As her back hits the wall I hear her whimper a bit. I run my hands all around her body, feeling every inch of her.

She wraps her arms around my neck, pulling my hair softly, causing a sheepish moan from me. She jumps up and wraps her legs around my torso. I hold onto her tightly, never wanting to go.

I walk us to her room, and lock the door behind us. I lay her down on the bed and pull from the bottom of her dress as it slips right off her slim body.
