I get to Biaggi's and get out the car. I straighten my dress out walk towards the door. When i got to the door i hear Keith's voice.

"You know women not supposed to touch these doors right?" He flashed his smile and then opened the door. I walked in .

"Whitney." He said to the lady at the front. She looked on her tablet and nodded her head.

"Follow me Mr.and Mrs. Whitney." The lady said leading us to the back of the restaurant. I didn't comment on that because i know she didn't know we're not married.

He pulled out my chair and i sat down. He walked to the other side of the table and sat across from me.

"So Mr. Whitney, what made you choose this place?"i ask looking at him

"Well Mrs. Whitney , since you never gave me a last name, I've always wanted to bring a beautiful woman here with me on a date. But not many women attract me." He said

"Taylor, and what exactly attracted me to you?" I asked out of curiosity.

" The way you carry yourself. I liked how you walk and you are a very beautiful female that just caught my eye." He said.

Thats when the waitress came up," Hello ,my name is Sarah i will be your waitress for the night. What would you guys like to drink?"

"We'll both have chardonnay." He said smiling at the waitress. She nods her head. I never drank chardonnay before. Its a lot of shit i haven't done.

"I'll have the Lasagna Bolognese please." I said looking at the menu. I looked up and handed her the menu.

" I'll have the same." He said handing over the menu.

She smiled at us and said ," Alright , your food will be out shortly." With that she walked away.

"So tell me about yourself, Ms. Taylor." He said looking at me.

"Well may name is Korlin Taylor, im from New Orleans but been in Jackson the majority of my life. I have two kids a boy and a girl. I like basketball but i haven't played in fifteen years. Other than that theres nothing to tell." I said leaving my personal life out of it." What about you?"

"My name is Jakeith Whitney, im 36 years old. I played football in highschool and college back in Jersey. I could have went pro but i tore my 
ACL. I don't have any kids but i want some. I've been to jail for robbery before when i was 14. Other than that im clean." He said looking in my eyes.

"Keith, you may look at me differently when i tell you this," i say looking at him in the eyes." I was convicted of four counts murder at the age of 19. I just recently got out of jail. Yesterday , was my first time out. I'll understand if you dont want to see me anymore and thats fine , i'll leave."

I grabbed my purse and stood," Stop, sit down." He said. I looked at him the  sat back down." Thats your past, i don't care about that. Your changed now ,right? It had to be a reason they let you out."

"After fifteen years ,they finally gave me a fair trial and they figured i was innocent."i explain.

The waitress came back with our food and drinks finally. " Everything okay?"

We both nod, she smiled and walked away.

" Well , i dont care thats your past. We are in the present and now is all that matters."he said.
