Blind Date

So your bestfriend hooked you up with another blind date, and from the looks of it, he's already stood you up.

You were supposed to meet him around 9:00 pm at a fancy restaurant you now lost reservations to.

You look at your phone, discovering that it's almost 10:00. You sigh, trying to call your bestfriend, but your attempts result in failure.

You stand outside the restaurant, shivering while the winter breeze hits you.

You look down and smooth your red dress you bought especially for this date. Your spritz of Chanel No. 5 you sprayed on earlier is fading away. The black high heels you have on are giving you multiple blisters.

You sigh as you see your breath in the cold winters air.

A black car pulls up next to the sidewalk to where you were standing. A dressed in a tux opened the door, standing on the bumper of the car..

He had beautiful hazel eyes, the kind that a woman can get lost in.

"I am very sorry for being so late." The stranger says. "I'm Shannon. And you must be y/n?"

You nod, shivering as a blast of cold air hits you.

"Ah, you must be freezing. Here, take my coat." He gets out of the car and wraps his tux coat around you. You thank him as he slowly pulls away. You notice a triangle looking tattoo behind his ear, and a couple of symbols on his arm, which you seen through his white dress shirt.

"Well, shall we go in?" Asks Shannon.

"Unfortunately, our reservations have been taken from us." You say as you comfortably put the jacket around yourself.

"Ahh, what a shame. I am sorry."

You pierce your lips together and just nod. This man was a pure beauty, and even if you didn't have a date with him tonight, you kind of hope that you'll see him again.

"Well, it's a beautiful night tonight. The stars are out, and I know an amazing place to star gaze. Care to join me still y/n?

You nod as he offers your hand into the black car. He drives to the top of a hill in a restricted area. You get out and your breath is taken away. Shannon pulls out a bottle of wine and two glasses from the car.

"I'm sorry again for making you wait."

"That's fine, really." You say as he hands you the glass of wine.

You stare at the stars with him and get to know him better.

You found out that the tattoo behind his ear was a triad, and the one on his arms were glyphs of the band he was in. He told a couple of jokes which made you laugh.

You both finish the glass of wine, staring at the stars. "Beautiful isn't it?" He asks. You nod.

He takes out a camera from the car. "When I see something beautiful, I have to take a picture of it."

You smile and look at him. He points the camera at you and the flash goes off. You expected him to take a picture of the stars. The unexpected change of direction makes you blush. You feel a snowflake fall on your nose, and shortly afterwards, it comes down faster and thicker.

You pack up your things and get back in the car with Shannon.

You give him directions to your place and he escorts you there. You shortly arrive, and he walks you to your front door.

"Thank you for tonight Shannon." You say. He smiles and you decide to go for a kiss on his cheek. He moves his head, and your lips collided. The heat you were feeling inside could melt the snow faster than fire.

After what felt like eternity, you pull away, blushing. You give him your number before saying goodbye to him.

You enter your house, replaying tonight in your head. You remember that you still had his coat around your body and smirk.

Looks like you'll be seeing him sooner than you thought.
