In Love With A Billionaire

Reese. (cont.)

The night of Valentine's Day

"Do a quick turn for me." Pearl says as she steps back and looks at me intently. I turn slowly as she makes minor adjustments on my hair and outfit. Then I stop to face her , she's still staring peculiarly.
"Perfect, just gorgeous! You're gonna have a great time tonight." she says as she claps and hops up and down excitedly.
"Girl, I got Magnums and Trojans. Let's hope they fit!" Taneya says as she walks over to the couch where my black Yves Saint Laurent sat. She placed 6 condoms into it .
"Tee I don't even know if I want to have sex after this date -"
She handed the bag to me , winked and strutted back into my kitchen.
"Better safe than sorry!" She said as she sat at the counter with some strawberries, putting one in her mouth and laughing to herself as she chewed.

My phone pinged off and I expected it to be Reese, but instead it's Instagram telling me that Avery posted. I unlocked my phone and went to go see the post.

"Happy Valentine's Day to the love and light of my life❤️😘!" the caption read , under a picture of Brianna leading Avery into a candle lit hotel room . The floor was smothered in rose petals and I could see champagne bottles in the background. I guess she just blew over the other night. I liked it and proceeded to comment.
I thought of what I should type, something that sounded genuine and not petty as fuck. But pretty much anything I could possibly think of would come out petty and triggering so I closed the app.
And just as I was about to put my phone down, Reese texted me.
"I'm outside."
I threw my heels on and the girls rushed behind me , Pearl handing me my bag and Taneya, my fitted blazer.
"Girl let me check your lashes."
"Come here let me put this gloss on you."
The girls were working frantically and then stepped back, looks of approval on their faces.
"We'll be here to hear all about it!" Pearl said standing outside my door, watching me walk to the elevator.
"But will gladly leave if you decide to bring him home!" Taneya chimed in. I laughed as the doors closed behind me.

"Right this way." the waitress said as she led us through the packed restaurant, other waiters bustling past us.

I honestly thought this place was gonna be busted but I looked it up and it's classier than you would think. Well, at least enough for me to be all dolled up.

We were led to a booth way in the back, the table was draped in a red tablecloth with a candle that was already lit in the middle of it next to a medium size vase with a rose. We sat down and I took off my blazer, Reese grabbed it and draped it across the back of my chair. I smiled to show my gratitude. The waitress placed two menus in front of us and I immediately opened it , skimming through to see what kind of options they offer, Reese doing the same.
"I'll check back in soon to take your orders, take as much time as you need." The curly haired, middle aged waitress says giving us a warm smile. She walks away and I look at Reese, a satisfied look washed over his face.
"You good ?" I asked him.
"Yeah it's just that she remind me of those little old ladies that always call you "Baby" and it just gives you this warm feeling. She looked like she wanted to say something nice to us." he responds.
"Yeah, they're so wholesome." I smiled slightly.
We chatted and looked at the menu together, eventually we realized we liked the same things.
"You trying to be like me?" I laughed a bit .
"I was waiting for you to notice." Reese says as she jokingly snapped his fingers in a sassy manner. I laughed and so did he, lightly nudging me.

The waitress approaches our table, note pad and pen in hand, a smile on her face.
"Can I start you off with any appetizers?"
"Yes, can I have the New York Strip 16 ounce steak, a side of garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus, the lobster tail, and the truffle mac and cheese. I like my steak medium rare." I closed my menu and looked between the waitress and Reese, his full, moist, pink lips curving into a small smile. The waitress looked impressively as she jotted into her notepad.
"I see you've got a girl that can eat. And for you young man?"
"The same thing. Well done steak please." Reese says flashing a smile at her, his beautiful white teeth catching my eye. Before he could realize I was staring, I quickly shifted my gaze to the waitress, handing her my menu. She took his and looked up , "Any drinks?"
"Well-" I began to say.
"Your most expensive wine. Two bottles." Reese chimed in.
"Your meals will be here shortly." she said as she nodded at us. And when Reese looked away for a short moment, she winked at me. I smiled to myself.
I loveeee me a big baller. Wait 'till Tee and Pearl hear about this.
