Details. So many details.
That’s all Zoe wants as I enter the apartment after my date with Theo. When he dropped me off we had made plans to go out, to somewhere fancier this time, on Friday night. Which happened to be only two days from now.
“Tell me everything!” Zoe exclaims as she pats the spot next to her on our small sofa.
“What do you want to know first?” I smile although I’m exasperated.
“Well, first just how did it go?”
So I tell her everything about the date, from what type of car he had (a black Camaro), to just overall that the date was very good. I don’t skip out on the part where he freaked out and thought I had left, and that we shared a milkshake. I also make sure to tell her his name and how sexy it sounded when he told me.
“Theo,” She says, “wow that’s hot.”
“That’s what I thought.” I laugh. “Oh, and I forgot… We already planned a second date.” I wait for a response from Zoe and after a few seconds of silence I get what I expected. An ear splitting shriek.
“I told you he’s totally into you Shai!”
“I’m totally into him too,” I confess quietly.
“What was that?” She grins even though I know she heard what I said.
“I’m into him too.” I repeat.
TIME LAPSE
I take a deep breath and turn towards the mirror. I don’t know why I’m so much more nervous about this date than I was the first one. Maybe it’s because I know for sure that this is a date, and he knows it too. I look over my appearance to make sure I look okay. I’ve never really been vain but of course I’ve never been on an actual – with an attractive guy I actually like – date. I wipe my hands on the coralish colored maxi dress and take another deep breath before exiting the bathroom.
I walk over to Zoe and she looks me over. I feel like a show dog with her walking around me, observing me all over. Once she gets back around to the front of me she gives me two thumbs up and pulls me into a hug. “You look great.” She pulls back and smiles.
“I just hope Theo thinks so.”
“Oh trust me, he will.” She winks before releasing me to get my things.
I grab my small black purse and slip on my silver sandals. Theo should be here any minute now. He said he’d be here by 7, and it’s already five till.
At exactly 7, he arrives at the door in a sleek silver button down and black dress pants. I smile at him and he smiles right back.
“You ready to go?” He motions to the car and I nod. He takes my hand in his as he leads me down. At first I am surprised but then I lace my fingers with his and follow after him.
This time he takes me to a fancy restaurant called The Olive Pit. It’s a beautiful 5 star Italian restaurant. He leads me in and we go straight in to the back where there is a reserved section just for us.
“This is really sweet but you didn’t have to reserve half the building for us.” I say once we are seated.
“Don’t mention it. I wanted us to be alone.”
