Dark Love

Chapter Nine

“Wow,long time no see partner.Howdy."Gerald said to Todd.Todd walked into the garage,dressed in jeans and a black blazer,smelling like a god.

“I see you want to impress the blonde,interesting."

“Her name is Mia."

“Mia?Hmm...suits her."Gerald commented.Todd swallowed hard,he didn't like men talking about her.

“Are you going out?"he asked.

“Yeah,I'm going to ask her out tonight."Todd said with a smirk.

“You are one lucky man Daniels."Gerald chuckled.

“Than I am."

“Goodluck pal,wish you the best."

“Thanks.

Todd walked out of the garage,leaving Gerald all by his self.He walked away with style,tugging on his blazer and rocking a pair of Police shades.He felt confident.

He bought new perfume,new clothes and new shoes.He believed in the saying dress to impress even though it was vulgar but somehow,it always worked.The truth was that women loved men that didn't have  empty pockets.

He entered his car and he sighed heavily.He was slightly nervous,which was insane,he thought.

Todd Daniels wasn't a man that got nervous when meeting a woman,he was always confident,always the cool guy,but Mia Santiago was something else.She wasn't human,she was a goddess.

He checked the time on his new watch—yes he bought a new wrist watch—and he realized that he was on time.It was 04:30 pm.Their date was at 05:00 pm,and he still had to call her and pick her up.

He dialled her number and he patiently waited for her to pick up her phone,and she did seconds later.

“Hello?"

“Hey,Mia,it's me...Todd."

“Oh hi!How are you?"

“Great,can't wait for our date."

“Neither can I."

“So...are you ready?"

“Almost.All that's left is my hair."

“What's up with women and hair?"

“What's up with men and cars?"

“Touché."

“Yep.That's how we do it,fair and square."

“How about you finish doing your hair?"

“How about you start driving?"

“On my way."

With that,he hung up the phone.He silently laughed to himself.What a woman,he thought.

As he sped away,all that consumed his thoughts was her.He loved everything about her;from head to toe.

Her beautiful silky blonde hair.Her eyes,oh her eyes.Her nose,her lips,those juicy lips,that dimple on her chin.He could stare at it all day.From her blessed chest to her bright behind,she was perfection in person.

Her smell,it defined her.That fine fragrance,Monte Blanc,French perfume.She was just too chic.She was a real woman,the type of woman he needed.She was a keeper.

Before he knew it he was ringing her doorbell.She opened the door,and when she saw him,standing there,wearing a black blazer and smelling heaven,a huge smile made its' way on her face.Ear to ear.

“Good evening Ms.Santiago."

“Mr.Daniels."she greeted with a nod.He loved her formal way of being.She had class,and he noticed.

“Are you ready?"he asked.

“Always."

He took her hand and guided the way to his car.He opened the door for her,like a real gentlemen would,and he sped off.

“Where are we going?"she asked.He eyed her feet involuntarily.The way that dragon tattoo circled her ankle made his heart skip a beat.Her legs,those legs.He would do anything for them.Her black dress hugged her body perfectly.She looked amazing.

“Todd?"

He snapped back into reality and looked into her eyes.

“Excuse me?"

“I asked you where we were going?"

“Oh...I'm sorry."he said as he ran his fingers through his gelled hair.

“It's okay."she murmured.

“It's a surprise."he smiled.She nodded and turned to look out the window.

She was happy.During those couple of months,she began developing feelings for him which she could not explain.Was it love?Was it a crush?Was it an attraction?She didn't know.

All she knew was that she was going to enjoy every moment with him and make the best of it.

He parked the car and her mouth hung open.What a fancy place,she thought.

Todd saw the look on her face and all he could think about was how he made the right choice.

He escorted her to the restaurant,they took their seats and began ordering.They had random talks during dinner and he made her laugh a couple of times.He was a decent man,she thought.

By the end of dinner,before he asked the bill,he told her that he had to ask her something.Deep down,she knew what he was going to ask.

“Mia,you're a special woman.You're interesting,sexy and a very classy woman."he started.She raised a brow at him.He gulped down the rest of his wine.

“I know that this probably sucks because I'm not used to doing this but,I have a strong attraction towards you.And,I really like you."

“Wow,typical Malcolm Kavanaugh."she murmured.

“Typical Parker Brown."

“Touché."

He smiled,“As I was saying-"

“Yes."she said,cutting him off.

“What?"

“I said yes."

“Are you serious?"he asked.

“Yes."

He sat bag and asked the bill.She sat on her seat,savoring her last drop of wine.He escorted her out and when they got in the car,he sighed.

“So...like we're going out?"he asked.She laughed.

“Yes."

“You've been saying yes for a long time."

“That's because I don't know what else to say."

He leaned in and kissed her,left a peck on her lips.She was more than satisfied,and his satisfaction was beyond understanding.He's done it again.

He drove her home and when they got to the doorstep,they kissed passionately.It was an ardent kiss,full of love,full of passion.He said goodbye and left,feeling like a winner.
