Kind of a date

Thanks for all the votes guys.

Rita ora - your song

The car suddenly stopped in front of a restaurant, it looked simple and cozy, I didn't expect Damian to opt for this type restaurant, I thought he'd be like Richard. You know, the rich, cute and arrogant guy.

Why are we stopping here?

Isn't it obvious??, to eat.

I didn't think you'd be the type to eat here.

Why?? He was laughing now.

Be...because, you are Damian

I just like to eat here, the food is good, you'll see.

OK then, I can't wait to eat this food you've been hyping.

OK. He shook his head laughing.

We took our seats and the waiter brought the menu for us to choose our meal. I told Damian to choose for us. After we had eaten we started talking about different things. He asked about Zoey's dad.

Where's Zoey's dad? I mean I haven't seen him around.

He's no longer in the picture. Was never in it anyways.

Ooh I'm so sorry, dead??

What, noo!!

He laughed, OK, so where's he??

He's in Nigeria, we are no longer together.

Ooh. OK.

I think he noticed I didn't want to talk about him because he stopped asking about him.

I have to leave now, I wanna head to the office, get my car and head over to Ari's to pick up Zoey. I had a nice time.

Me too. I could drop you at the hospital, you know

Thanks. But I wouldn't want to bother you

I insist.

Fine.

Let's leave. He called the waiter, paid for the meal and told the waiter to keep the change.

We should do this more often you know.

Oh, I don't know about that, I have to take care of Zoey plus I have to go to work.

It's fine.

We are here.

I looked up to see we had gotten to the hospital. Thanks for the meal.

You're welcome.

I turned to leave, he took my hand to turn me to him then he kissed me on my cheek. I was stunned at the gesture and I was blushing like a little school girl.

Bye, I said and he released my hand immediately

Yea.

The chauffeur already opened the door for me, so I got out and went in to take my bag. Then I left the hospital. I drove to Ari's and I rang the bell, she came to the door with Zoey and Nika

Is that my mummy? I heard Zoey say

Let's see.

Mum!!!!! You are back, how was work??

Fine baby, how's my only model doing?

I'm fine mummy

How was school?

School was good, I had a great time today and I did a very fine painting.

That's my baby..

She was smiling, I noticed Nika was laughing at Zoey because I called her a baby

Aunt Florence!!!!

Nika, how are you?

I'm fine, how was work?

Work was fine, baby

She laughed, I'm not a baby, Zoey is.

I was Laughing, Why??

Because you call her Baby all the time plus I'm older than she is by some months.

OK, Aunt Nika

She hid behind Ari's leg, Ari stood there watching the three of us, smiling.

You guys are very funny

Ari, how do you cope with them??

I manage.

How are you??

I'm fine. Let's go in and eat.

I'm actually full, I ate with Damian.

Hmm, come in and give me the deets.

Ok. I laughed

After the children had eaten, I and Ari were in the living room talking when she asked about Damian.

So you went out with him, huh...

I wouldn't call it a date tho, we just went out to eat.

Durh,!, you still went out with him so it's practically a date

It's so not!!!, plus someone gave him my number, I looked at her as I faked being angry

Oh, I'm so happy my plan to get you laid is working out.

You aren't serious Ari. I don't know but I'm not just feeling it, you know it's been so long I think I forgot how to date.

It takes time, after what happened I understand if you don't want anything with men, but you have to because you can't continue living like this. One bad guy doesn't mean there aren't good people out there because trust me there are!

I know, I'll try, just because of Zoey.

Yay!, it's settled.

We both laughed.

We have to leave now

OK, see you tomorrow

Zoey!!!!, we have to get going now!!

OK mum!!

She came downstairs with her bags.

Bye Nika, bye Aunt Ari.

Bye Zoey!! They chorused as we went outside.
I was driving us home when Zoey started talking again

Mummy who's Uncle Damian?

What!! He's mummy's friend

Is he my daddy??

Noo!!, do you remember the guy I sat beside the other day at Aunt Ari's dinner?

Yes mummy.

Well he's Damian.

Ooh, is he going to be my new daddy??

As much as I liked her talking to me I actually get tired of her talking sometimes because she talked a lot for someone who was just three years old.

No baby, he's kinda my boss

Ooh ok. She yawned, I feel sleepy mum.

OK, we'll soon be home.

Richard's POV is coming up guys, I can't wait to type it, let's see what he has been up to all this while.😂😂😂😂😍
