"Bitch a date date, now he taking me shopping for the date"I said on the phone to Nia while I was hiding in the dressing room
"You want that shirt"he asked me handing me a white v-neck crop top
"Yeah and these jeans"I said
It's been a couple weeks me and Dave getting used to each other, he helped me with starting up my hair line !
"You want some new shoes?"he asked me looking around the store
"Yeah but let's go to another store for those please"I said
"Okay baby lets go"he said putting his arm around me holding my clothes while we sat in line to check out
"But he ain't her man though"we heard behind us I recognized the girl from the club like a month a half ago
"Hey Dave you don't know us now?"her friend said and Dave turned around as did i
"Man what y'all asses want"he said rolling his eyes
"Nothing just speaking"the girl said
"Move around"he said to them both and with that they left
"You hungry"I asked him because my stomach was growling
"Why? You paying?"he asked and I looked
"I mean yeah I would have"I said walking up to an open register
"Hi did you find everything okay?"a girl asked and I smiled and nodded
"Why would i let you do that"he said walking up to pay
"You're so annoying sometimes"I said sighing and he laughed and put the bag in my face
"I can return this and get my money back"he said and I looked at him grabbing the bag
"Can we go get food baby"I asked with my puppy dog face and he gave in
"Reservations for two"Dave said in a sexy ass tone as we waited to be seated "last name East"he added the guy looked for our table and sat us down
"Your waiter will be right with you two madam and sir"he said before walking away
"This is nice"I said looking around in awe I've never been on a date let alone not to a place like this
"You like it baby girl"he asked me grabbing my hand
"Yes it's so nice in here, I've never been to a place like this"I said still in awe
"Get used to it ma you with me now"he said
"Hi, I'm Mario I'll be you two's waiter for the night can I start you off with anything to drink? We have a new mixed alcohol called The Seventh and it's here on this page"he said showing me because I looked interested
"I'll take one of those"I said agreeing
"And I'll take just a sprite"Dave said
"Do you want an appetizer?"Mario asked
"We will take the guacamole and cheese dip with the baked chips"Dave said and Mario wrote it down and walked away my eyes roamed the pretty menu that was in a thick black cover
"What you tryna eat mamas"Dave asked me and I smiled
"The shrimp and grilled chicken Parmesan pasta with a side of salad"I said
"Sounds good, if you want to put your order in for a desert you can do that too so he can take the menus back"Dave told me and I looked at the desert
"Cheesecake"I said and he smiled at me it was like I was a little kid in a candy store haha
"Madam your drink, sir yours" the waiter said sitting our drinks in front of us
"That was so much fun"I said getting in the car coming face to face with Dave as I leaned on the arm rest and he smiled
"I'm glad you enjoyed yourself"he said and he leaned in more as if he was about to kiss me then his phone rang we both let out a sigh , he started up the car answered his phone and began to drive I pulled out my phone and texted Nia
"Ight man I'll stop by for a second damn"he said hanging up "we gotta make a stop before we go home"he said looking over at me then back on the road
"Okay"I said still sitting on my phone and eventually we pulled up to this ugly ass house , it looked unsanitary and it looked like something nobody should live in
"I'll be right back"he said looking at me then getting out
"Okay"i said and I sat in the car for about three minutes and he came out , it felt like it was forever
"You wanna go home or to my crib"he asked me as he started driving
"I need to go to mine and get some clothes and I wanna stay at yours"I said and he nodded
"Okay baby"he said putting his hand on my thigh
"Where you going?" My mom asked as I was about to walk out
"To a friends house" I said and my dad came out the kitchen
"That boy that's in the car, that's where you going"he said slurring his words getting closer up on me and my mom just stood there
"M-move"I said he smelled so bad
"What you say to me"he said getting in my face
"Move"I said again and he slapped me across my face and I was speechless, it's been months since he stopped beating me and I was not about to let it start happening again
"Don't touch her"my mom yelled and she began hitting him in the head and he slapped my mom as well
"Fuck both of you I'm leaving"he said grabbing his keys and stumbling to the door
"Honey are you okay"she asked walking to me
"Yes mama"I said holding my cheek still
"I'm moving in with you Aunt Laura I've been moving both of our things little by little each day so we can get out this house honey"my mom said my Aunt Laura lived two hours away but it was better than being in this house with my dad
"Okay mama, can I go now"I asked and she nodded I handed her some money "go to a hotel tonight please mama"I said hugging her and telling her good night
Once I got in the car with Dave he looked at me and I just stayed quiet the whole ride .
