American Romance

Chapter 4

I know it's been too long
I been on the road too much
Had to get back to ya
Back to you...

Lily hummed along to the song Tonight by Summer Walker. It's been her favorite song as of late. Since her and Rell decided to take it to the next level 3 months ago she's been relating to a lot of love songs, and right now she was feeling this one the most. Though they weren't in a relationship they were fucking with each other heavy. They rarely had any disagreements, and when they did it was usually about his occupation. Lily wanted Rell to do better for himself. Rell wanted Lily to understand that didn't happen overnight.

Rell had asked to be her boyfriend already but she declined, not wanting to be in deep just to end up disappointed. She trusted Rell, but it was to an extent. He was handsome, charming, and he had money. All things that attracted groupie bitches. She wanted to believe he was all for her, but it was difficult with what Dasia told her, and what she knew about men in general.

"Baby."

She was suddenly snapped out of her thoughts hearing Rell come into the room calling her name. She turned, applying the Fenty Beauty setting powder in the shade banana on her face. They were going on a date, and as always she wanted to look her best. She took in his attire soaking in his attractiveness. He kept it simple with his all black ensemble. He had on a regular black tee, black Emporio Armani jeans, with a black Moncler puffer coat and black timbs. On his neck he had two white gold cuban link chains with diamonds encrusted in them. On his wrist sat a plain rolex. His cologne Suavage by Dior smelled delectable.

On the other hand Lily decided to wear her mustard colored distressed off the shoulder knit sweater from Fashion Nova, with her medium blue ankle jeans from Zara, her brown McM tote bag, and her clear heels from an online store. She had a few designer items, but she had nothing on Rell. He could spoil her, but she didn't really want him to. She didn't want him to think she was using him, though he knew that already. Her hair was in pretty loose waves, parted in the middle. All in all, they were both looking great.

She snapped out of her daze when he called her again. "Yes?"

"I asked if you were ready? It's getting close to the time I set for the reservation."

"Oh yeah I'm ready, let's go."

Rell had booked a reservation for them at Ruth's Chris Steak House. It was one of Lily's favorite high end restaurant's, so of course he had to go all out for his baby. He honestly loved to spoil Lily — when she allowed him. She hated it, claiming she wasn't a gold digger, but he never thought that anyway. Not even for a second. He didn't trip too much about it though, knowing she'd have to come around to it when they made it official. Which would happen... he was sure of it.

They got into his 2017 Range Rover V6, and cruised off into the city. Lily gazed out the window, admiring her city. Washington DC was her home, and she loved everything about it. The good and bad... everything besides the current president Trump.

When they arrived, Terrell got out rushing over to the other side to open Lily's car door. They made it just in time for their reservation, quickly being seated. Once they were seated, they ordered their drinks, and looked ok their menus in a comfortable silence, taking in the soft jazz music playing. Lily had just decided on her meal when Rell spoke.

"Lil, I been thinking a lot on this, and I want you be my girl — exclusively. Your concerns on me being faithful are a non factor. I Dasia told you to be cautious of it, but truly all that is behind me now. I want you. I don't even look at no other girl, and you know I'm tryna hey out the game, but baby be a little more patient. I'll be done in no time, I just have a few things I need to set straight, just please baby... give a nigga a chance."
