Isabelle's pov

Oh lord! I'm exhausted! At least the day went well... My client loved my presentation, luckily Ms Smith didn't have much to say to me, lucky me.

Now to get started on my outfit for the dinner with Ray.

What do I wear?
What do I wear?
What do I wear?

Oh I know!

First I need a nice long bath!... The time is 5:30,Ray will be here by 7 - so I have uhm an hour, thirty minutes to get ready.... Ouuu the water feels soooo good!

**30 minutes later** (in spongbob's voice)

Okay let's get the makeup going! Nothing too dramatic, just something natural hmmm...

Let's see;

Primer,

Colour correct,

Foundation,

(no need to contour, just something subtle)

Powder,

Eyeliner,

Lip liner,

Lip balm,

Blush blush,

Setting spray,

Lashes.

Oouuu girl you look good!

Thank heavens I had my weave laid over the weekend, I would've spent at least an hour getting my 4c hair in shape!

I giggle at that thought, natural hair struggles.

Okay now to my fit.

Red dress, which stops before my knee, It is sleeveless with a halter neck.

No need for a necklace, just a few knuckle rings and last but not least studs.

Nothing too dramatic. Now where are those heels... Found it! They're black, safe colour.

Now perfume! Ouu I'm obsessed with la vie est belle, hits Just right, and Ray loves it as well.

Okay what else? What else?

Let me quickly glance at the time... WHAT??? 6:50?

Wow I guess I didn't spend that much time then.

Okay where was I, purse, yeah where's my purse? First let me grab my phone, and wallet.

'Ladies always carry your wallet, credit cards and all'... That was my mum's piece of advice whenever I was going out on a date, it has just grown on me.

She has a lot of rules for a lot of things! Oh my ma... I miss her, I'll give her a call after dinner tonight.

**doorbell**

"Coming!"
I shout from upstairs, hoping he can hear me.

"Hey."

I say with a wide grin, as I open the door.

"Wow, you look stunning babe."

Ray says with a genuine smile.

"Thanks baby, you look really good, I see you went all out to impress me."

"So, are you?"

He asks with a smirk.

"Hmmm, I think I am, I'm really impressed."

Ray chuckles and waits for me while I lock my door and he takes my hand.

He always makes me feel butterflies in my belly, this man will be the death of me.

Am I overreacting?... Well, I don't think so, I guess it's just one of those things good love makes one do.

We reach his car and he let's go of my hand to open the door for me.

"Thanks"

"Always."

He's so charming, I want to reach over and poke his dimple... And that's exactly what I do and he laughs.

We make light conversation before reaching the restaurant.

I like it... nothing too expensive but not cheap either, just cozy.

We get our reservations and Ray pulls my seat out for me and sits too.

We order our food and wine, and begin eating.

"How was your day?... And how did the presentation go?"

He asks.

"It was great, my presentation went well... My client loved my ideas, work begins Wednesday. Thankfully Ms Smith didn't have much to say, else she would've caught these hands."

I say and he laughs.

"Now, that was an amazing day... I wanted to speak to you about something."

"Oh what's that?... Did anything happen?"

He chuckles.

"No not really, I just wanted to know if you'll want to come with me to the country side, where I grew up... My mum lives down there too, maybe you'll want to visit her too, we'll finally get to surprise her."

"Really? I'll love to, oh Ray."

I'm so excited!

I get to finally see her home which she speaks so highly of all the time and her farm too.

She's a beautiful woman, she's Italian, average height, with warm grey eyes, her name is Melissa, she prefers Mel.

" It's settled then, once you're done with your project we'll go."

"I can't wait... how was your day?"

"Well my day went well, I'm almost done with the book, and I just got an offer to write another script for a blockbuster."

"Whoa attaboy! I'm so proud of you! I'm sure it'll be real nice."

"You give me too much credit, not like I wouldn't take it though."

He says with a wink.

"Really, congrats babe."

"Thanks baby."

The night went fast and nice with a lot of cheesy remarks from Ray.

Now, I can't wait to finish this project, so I can go to the country side with Ray... Come to think of it I've never been there.

Yes I've met his mum, but that's just on occasions when she comes to the city to see Ray or for an event or something.

We hang out, go for shopping or drinks - She's a free spirit.

I only wish I had met Ray's dad before he passed.

Ray takes me home and he's spending the night! It's going to be a longggg night.

Hahahahahaha
