One Chance

Chapter 11: Based on a true story

Zenel POV
Checking myself one more time in my rear view mirror , I was satisfied with what I saw. Salmon colored button up complemented me well with my gold chains gleaming in the night light. My pants and shoes was a great accent to how my top half looked. All around I looked good, this I knew. 7:30pm a woman who is on time is a woman worth marrying. I said to my self noticing her standing outside the movie theater. The smirk the was placed on my face couldn't be taken off. she looked so amazing and all I could take in was that she did it for me. Not wanting to keep her waiting I climbed out of my 2018 Mercedes Benz and made my way towards her. "Alo bèl ,  are you ready to chose our movie " I said approaching her now blushing face. She looked enchanting  no doubt and I could help but think about how she would looked amazing on my arm. " I assume so , we can see a comedy I dont really want to see a horror flick right now " she said looking off into space . I wanted to ask her about it but I decided against it. Wrapping my arms around her waist I guided her to the ticket booth and prepared to get our tickets. She chose some movie with Kevin Hart and Tiffany haddish so I knew it had to be funny. After a few moments of getting situated and previews , the movie started and we got comfortable.
**** fast forward
Walking down the isle exiting the theater we laughed and joked about how good the movie was. Her vibe was something different , something refreshing I liked it. She might be something I have to keep , who knows. "So where to now ?" She asked as we walked her to her car. "Are you hungry ? " I asked ready mentally knowing the answer. "Yes I am actually , what did you have in mind ?" She questioned adjusting herself in her seat. "A little late night bistro that has amazing Alfredo pasta " I suggested. "Well alright put the address in my phone and I'll meet you there " she said handing me her phone. Once I put the address in her phone , I gave it back , glanced at her one more time then headed back to my car.

Khelani POV
Following the instructed directions on my GPS , I flew down the street jamming to my favorite song. Best part - Daniel Caesar. Honestly I couldnt help but allow Milian to pop in and out my head. What she said , how she looked at me , how she held me ... everything about her threw me for a loop. I didnt want to think about her while I was on a date with Zenel it wasn't fair. Hoping if I changed the song , I would stop thinking about her but it did the opposite , it made it worse . Pulling up to the bistro I shook my thoughts aside and waited for him to pull up behind me. Not even 5 minutes later his Mercedes light beamed into my car. I checked my hair and makeup before exiting the car. Actually taking in his sexiness, his attire did something to me. The smile he gave me notified me that he knew I was checking him out . Oh gosh he seen me . "You like what you see love ?" He questioned grabbing my hand leading me into the restaurant. " I guess you could say that " I responded a little shame that I was caught. It seemed as though the hosted knew who he was and we were seated immediately. The bistro was so adorable, it was like a miniature Olive Garden but even more expensive. I liked it . "So  how did you found out about this place " I asked looking through the menu. "Before my mom passed my dad use to bring us here all the time" he explained as he snatched the menu from my hand. I rose my eyebrow and gave him an "excuse you" look reaching to snatch the menu back. "I already told you what was the best here and that's what you'll be eating " he demanded as he held up the menu in a childish way. Accepting defeat I just laughed and sat back in my chair. After a few conversations , and our food being ordered and brought I found out a lot about him. His mom passed when he was 13 years old , and now it's just him and his sick dad. He is also in the trading business and in real estate, he does a little bit of everything to insure that him and his dad are okay. He is 24 years old looking for a wife to settle down with and have kids. He's not rushing anything he just knows he's ready for it. His last relationship didn't work out because she was using him for personal gain and money, and that she was sleeping with his ex best friend. He's actually had it tough but made something of his self and that's what I find attractive about him. He paid the bill ,we took our last few bites and left the restaurant. "So now that I know you and you know me, when will be the next time I get to have another  date with you" he asked smoothly as he walked me to the car. "When pigs fly" I joked stepping inside my car leaving the door open for him to stand. "No seriously .. umm maybe next weekend " I nervously recommended. His hand brush across his lips as he gave me this big smile. "What why are you looking at me like that ?" I asked a little curious. "I just love how you blush when I make you nervous, it's cute ma " he said bending down to eye level with me. Getting very nervous I backed up farther into my car. "Love Im not gonna bite you ... at least not yet .. goodnight I'll text you when I get home and you do the same" he seductively whispered as he prepared his self to go to his car. Getting myself together , I started my car and headed home I knew it was late , and it not being my house I knew I needed to get there .
