After 20 minutes of V trying to kiss me without my permission and running back to the bathroom to fix my lip-gloss about twenty times, we finally left the apartment. Walking down the stairs V made sure to hold my hand and looking at Dorian, a waiter at the diner, like he had two heads when he said hi to me. Everything was going smoothly for five minutes in , with my luck stuff should've start going left awhile ago.
"I know you not leaving this diner with that dress on and this man I've never seen before." I heard behind me before we could get to the door. See just my luck.
"Ms. Lena hey how's the night going , busy enough for you." I said turning around and letting go of V's hand which he didn't agree with because he just grabbed it again and squeezed tighter obviously not getting the hint."Who are you young man ?" She asked ignoring me and putting her hand on her hip looking at us.
"This is Vincent , Vincent this is Ms. Lena ."
"I didn't ask you chile, I asked him now hush."
"My name is Vincent Lawrence ma'am." He said and laughed before letting go of my hand to shake Ms. Lena's.
"I already know that ,why are you here Vincent."
"To take Simone on the best date of her life." The only date of my life if we're being honest.
"Well listen here, you treat her with respect that's my baby I'm letting you walk out of here with and she better be back in one piece with only good stories to tell if you wanna keep living son."She sassed without even cracking a smile then pulling me to the side and smiling. "He sure is cute. You have fun baby."
I smiled hugging her and saying goodnight kissing her on the cheek before grabbing V and leaving she could always change her mind, don't put it passed her.
"You just got lucky, she didn't ask you where Indie was cause the only place we would be going is to pick her up." I said as he opened the car door for me making sure I was in before walking to the other side.
"I don't mind having my little homie with us , I just don't think she would like this kind of place. Next time we can take her somewhere all kid like and shit."
I smiled checking my hair in the mirror after that chat with Ms. Lena I was feeling real hot and that is not good for a flat iron. I was just joking about picking her up but he never seems to act weird when I mention her , he treats her like they've been friends for years granted he was 24 and she was 3. They were pretty close.
"Where are we going anyway?" I asked actually curious.
"You put on that sexy ass dress and you don't even know where we going?" He asked at a red light grabbing my face and kissing me again not that I was complaining , he just kept messing up my lip-gloss.
"Lennox picked out this dress she wouldn't tell me here we were going. Stop , I'm just not going to put it on no more." I said snatching my face away and slamming his mirror closed after wiping it off with the back of my hand.
"Well remind me to thank Lennox, I'm not worrying about that shit you got on. We here anyway."
"Just because you don't care doesn't mean I don't. I should've wore sweats with your ungrateful ass." Looking out of the window and crossing my arms. Finally looking up I see that we're at BNC, a steakhouse I've been hearing about since I moved here. I was actually excited but since he wanted to act like that I would too.
"Fix your face mama , what you mad at me for ?" V said holding my door open, I hadn't even seen him get out the car. I wasn't mad just being petty, do you know how many times I've put on lip-gloss since he picked me up? I Just ignored him before pulling down the mirror and putting on some Chapstick before closing it and trying to get out the car, but for some reason there was a 6'8 wall standing in my way.
