Today was my date with Joey. Samantha and dad were coming over to watch Amelia. I put milk in bottles in the fridge. Amelia is sound asleep. I pulled my hair up and got dressed. It was 11:30a.m and I barely got any sleep because Amelia was up all night. Applying a little makeup up, I heard Samantha and dad pull into the garage. I put on my heels and grabbed my purse. Taking the baby monitor, I walked downstairs. Samantha smiled at me and kissed my cheek.
"Amelia is sleeping right now, bottles of milk is in the fridge. Here is the baby monitor." I said.
"Have fun." Samantha said.
"But not too much fun." Dad said.
"I will." I said with a smile.
Samantha took the baby monitor. Joey knocked on the door. I opened it. He stood there holding sunflowers and roses. I smiled and looked at him. "Jo, you didn't have to." I said, taking the flowers. He smiled and held his hand out for me. Taking his hand, I walked to the car. Joey opened the door for me and let me into his car. I buckled up as he drove to the restaurant.
The restaurant was cute. With the weather being perfect, we had a reservation outside on the patio. My eyes went onto the most beautiful view. Joey smiled at me before looking at the menu. We both ordered wine or beer for drinks. For an appetizer, we ordered cheese sticks.
"You look beautiful today." Joey said as I blushed.
"You are so sweet." I said.
"Here are your drinks." The waitress said.
"Whats your secret?" Joey asked.
"About what?" I asked.
"Isabella!" A reporter said.
My eyes went over to the reporter. A smile went onto my face as I straightened up in my seat. She held the microphone. The guy next to her had the camera.
"How is Amelia?" She asked.
"She is doing amazing Amanda." I said.
"Is this your date?" Amanda asked.
"Yes, our first date to be exact." I said.
"Who is he?" She asked.
"Joey Tribianni." Joey said.
"Would you like to say something to all the Latina women all over the world?" She asked.
"If you put your mind to something, you will accomplish it. Push it through all the obstacles that may be in your way. With your motivation and spirit, you can do anything. I did. And I believe that you can too." I said with a smile.
"Thank you for that Isabella. I hope you two have an amazing dinner." Amanda said.
"Thank you Amanda. If anyone wants to go to an amazing place, come down to Leo's Restaurant. He is such a great talented chef so is my friend Monica Geller." I said.
The reporter and camera man left. Joey and I smiled and ordered our food. Leo personally gave us our food. "Thank you for telling people about my restaurant. The food is on the house." Leo said. I smiled as he kissed me on the forehead. Joey didn't mind because Leo is a good friend of ours.
"That looks really good." Joey said.
"Here." I said, cutting a piece of my chicken off making sure it had the juice.
I put it on the tiny plate they provided and handed it to Jo. He took a bite of it and make a yum noise. A smile appeared on my face. We enjoyed our food and drank some. At the end of our meal we were both still sober to drive home. We decided to split a desert together. Chocolate cake with dark chocolate drizzled on top of it. Joey picked up his fork and took a bite of it. It looked as good as it tasted. Joey put the tip on the table. Once we finished eating, he drove me home.
We were sitting in the driveway. Joey gave me his jacket as I was cold. I smiled and looked at Joey. "Tonight was amazing." I said. His hand went onto my cheek. He moved his phone and pulled me into a kiss. The spark was fantastic. We pulled away from the kiss as he walked me to the door. I handed him his jacket and gave him one more kiss before going in. Samantha and dad were sitting on the couch. Amelia was fast asleep. Roxie was playing with her bone. I sat down next to them.
My heels went off as I made a sound of relief.
"How was it?" Dad asked.
"Really great." I said.
"Really?" Samantha asked.
"I think I love him." I said, smiling.
"I am so happy that you found love again after Nick." Dad said.
"Me too Isabella." Samantha said.
"He makes me happy." I said, curling up on the couch.
Looking at the baby monitor and thinking of tonight. I knew that Joey is the one.
