Auburn

Welcome to My City

~Vanessa

"We're going to the aquarium, what should I wear?" I asked Shane, frantically running around my room, in just my bra and panties.

"Well, keep it simple but cute." She laughed as I went through my closet.

She got up and picked out burgundy skinny jeans, a white v-neck, blue jean jacket and white high-top Converse. I smiled hugely because it's the perfect outfit, cute and simple. I hugged her tightly and began to get dressed.

I stopped when there was a knock on the door, and pushed her out to go answer it. Shane and I have an unspoken communication, when I pushed her out, she knew to stall.

"Hey J, Jazz should be out momentarily." I heard Shane say and I sped up on getting dressed.

I grabbed my gold necklace and hoops and then my bag. I walked out to see Jarvis and Shane talking on the couch. I smiled at Jarvis when he looked up at me with a smirk.

"Ready to go?" He asked standing up and grabbing my hand.

"Of course, I'll see you later Sha-Auburn." I caught myself, hoping he didn't notice that.

Jarvis and I walked out the door and took the elevator down to his car.

"You look great by the way." He says opening the door for me.

"Thanks J." I smiled as he got in and we took off to the aquarium.

When we got to the aquarium he got our tickets and went inside. I never thought I could be so amazed by this kind of thing. I've never been to an aquarium, or anything of the sort, never amusement parks or anything. All guys I've ever dated never wanted to do anything fun like this. Going alone wasn't an option for me either, so I always put it off.

"Wow, you weren't kidding when you said you've never been." He said, amused by my fascination, holding my hand as we walked under a tunnel of so many fish.

"Yep, never ever, and it's so beautiful. I really owe you one." I said smiling.

"It's a date, you don't owe me anything."

"But this is a first, something I've always wanted. I know I haven't known you long but you're nothing like the other guys, you're so sweet." I looked up at him smiling. Which made me notice how much taller he is than me.

"Well shit, I'll keep it up." He joked.

"Oh trust me if you don't, I'll get you back." I hit him playfully in the arm.

He picked me up, carrying me on his back and I couldn't help but laugh at how ridiculous we were being. We're like two teens right now and I love it. I kissed his cheek and he turned his head to kiss my lips.

Mmmm, his lips were....mmm.

"I'm sorry." He said looking embarrassed.

"No, I liked it." I smiled reassuringly.

After walking through the entire aquarium he wanted to go downtown to eat. He took me to Gladys Knight & Ron's Chicken and Waffles. I've heard of this place and that it was honestly the bomb.com but obviously have never been. The line here was soooo long, almost like at the club.

"Come on." He grabbed my hand and walked right up to the front.

"Yo J, what's up with ya?" A short man asked dapping him.

"Same ol same ol, this is a friend of mine, Jazz. Jazz this is Thomas. He owes me a favor and since you like to keep it simple, I figured this is simple but so worth it." He smiled.
