Smoothing out my dress, I reached for my denim jacket and slipped it on. Looking myself in the mirror, I was happy with what I saw

My grey dress came to just above my knees, my denim jacket draping over top and my black bag slung over my shoulder

I sat on my sofa, waiting for the doorbell to ring. Surely at exactly 6, it rang loud through my apartment. Slipping on my black shoes at the door, I opened it to see him

Stood in tight black jeans and a plain but colourful t shirt, he stood smiling warmly at me.  It was a sight for sore eyes, to see him with a genuine smile on his face

"You look amazing" he complimented

"Thank you" I blushed, walking out and locking my front door behind me

"Where are we going?" I asked

"Wherever you want, sweetheart" he replied

I couldn't help but go soft at the nickname

"I know a nice Italian place that isn't too expensive" I suggested

"Okay. Let's go" He said, walking me outside my apartment block to his car

I was expecting him to unlock the old, scratched car parked under the tree but when the locks clicked on the black Porsche next to it, I was shocked

"This is your car?" I asked in disbelief

"Yep, got it as a present for being sober and getting my life back on track from my momma and drew" he replied, smiling

I felt happy knowing how I positively changed his life for the better all with a little bit of help and support. I suppose I'd never really realised how much of an effect I have on people

"Ladies first" he said, opening the passenger door for me

I gently sat in, thanking him. The interior of his car was fresh and clean. I couldn't see a fleck of dust anywhere

Sitting in the driver's seat, he turned the key in the ignition and waited for the engine to purr quietly

"I really like your car" I complimented

"Thank you. I love her, she's the best thing ever" he replied excitedly like a kid in a sweet shop

"So, where's this Italian place?" He asked

°°°

We got seated in a quiet corner of the restaurant which I enjoyed. I felt tucked away from the screaming children and arguing couples that occupied the centre of the restaurant

I couldn't help but stare at how much he'd improved mentally as well as visually. His hair was now short, his skin tanned and his eyebrow slit

He looked attractive, I couldn't even lie

"What're you staring at Wilson?" he smirked

"You" I smiled cheekily

"Why?" He asked

"I don't know. Just admiring how far you've come and how much you've changed" I replied

"What do you mean?"

"When you first came into my office, you would hardly speak. Your hair was scruffy, your skin looked tired and it seemed as if you couldn't give a shit about anything. But now look at you"

"Hair that others would dream of. Tanned skin and most importantly, sober"

He smiled sweetly

"All thanks to you"
