You May Be Young But You're Ready

The restaurant was so beautiful! It had some sort of underwater, Italian theme. Instead of big fat men holding forks eating Spaghetti with funny looking mustaches. I loved it, everything from the music was perfect.

I danced around to the soft music playing in the background while looking around for Twan.

"Hey beautiful!" He said softly in my ear while hugging my waist from behind.

Butterflies, butterflies, butterflies!

His hands around my body felt so right, and natural. I felt protected. "Hey Twan!" I turn around, smiling and drawing him in for a hug. He smelled so good, and he was so tall. I loved having to stand on my tippy toes to hug him. "Our tables over here" he held my hand in his, walking us over to the table.

"You look really good tonight, Chanelle." He smiled as we sat down at the table. "Thank you, and you don't look too bad yourself." I smirked and looked down, planting my face in the menu.

I was so shy, and didn't know what to say next. I've never been on a date before, and so much was going through my head.

"You don't have to be shy sweetheart. Just be yourself, loosen up a little bit. Alright?" He chuckled. It's like he was reading my thoughts or something. I dropped the menu and smiled, nodding my head.

"So where you from, cause I've been living in Philly my whole life and I've never seen any women like you." He laughed, making me laugh too.

"I'm actually from here, but my momma and them are from Georgia."

"Mhm! I can tell, so you must take after your mom I'm guessing. She has to be good in the kitchen!"

"You're very very funny, and yes she is actually!" I laughed. I knew exactly where he was going with this.

"Dinner was amazing..." Antwan said as he pulled the door open, allowing me to exit the restaurant first. "Yeah! I had fun, the food was super good!"

"Hopefully we could do it again." He looked over at me smiling as we walked down the street. "Yess! Of course. I would love that."

"Aight, that's like music to my ears! How are you getting home?" He looked over at me. "Maybe an Uber, or a cab. I haven't decided yet. I might just have my best friend come get me."

"Nah that's crazy, let me give you a ride home. Can't have a pretty lady like you out here waiting and looking like a easy target."

"Easy? Excuse me, but ain't nothing about me easy." I said rolling my eyes at him. "Ah, I struck a nerve I see! I didn't mean it like that baby girl, relax." He said while reaching into his pocket for his keys. He drove a black 2019 Audi A7. And it was beautiful. This man had money, but it was just a car! They all did the same thing.

He reached in front of me, opening the passenger door so I could get in.
"Thank you!" I smiled. "No problem." He wink while shutting the door and walking on the other side, getting in.

This was the best car ride ever. I loved talking to him, everything about him was starting to make me fall in love.

"Well, this is the worst part of it all. Our first date has finally come to an end" Twan fake poutted, making me bust out laughing. "Boy, stop it! We'll have plenty more dates, I promise." I looked over at him while rubbing my thumb across his cheek.

"I had so much fun with you tonight. Thank you so much" I said while gathering my things together, ready to step out the car.

"Nah, the thanks is all mines! This the most fun I've had in years. But I'll give you a call bright and early tomorrow morning. Have a good night beautiful..."
