We got to What looked like parktown and he parked at the deserted parking. The place looked like it wasn't operational a the closed sign was at the door.
Me: uhm... he turned and looked at me
Me: Looks like it closed here... i pointed to the door.
J.T: come let go check. He stepped out of the car and I got out too. Closed the door and walked to the door and right next to the closed sign was another sign " 𝚁𝚎𝚜𝚎𝚛𝚟𝚎𝚍 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝙹.𝚃 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚍𝚊𝚝𝚎" i smiled and he opened the door and it was the most beautiful sight to see. The whole place was covered in red and white roses. Candle lights and a yellow flower petals on the floor showing us where to walk. I walked to the corner where there was a perfect. The table was black and silver ware and glasses.J.T
She turned and and looked at me with the most shiny eyes and dimples that made my heart do a whole flip and settle.
Lulama: you did this for me?... I walked and open a chair for her giving her pink roses and a box. KG went all the way out wow. I took the flowers and gave her and the box. She smiled. " thank you"
Me: a pleasure.
Just than KG walked in smiling like a retard.
KG: Welcome to an adventure of a life long tasting, a place to set your taste buds alight. Lulama smiled again looking at him politely as he gave out his hand for her to shake and she did.
Lulama: Your place is beautiful. She looked around again with her eyes lightening up.
KG: thank you... let me bring one of my best wines that I saved for such occasions its rare that my restaurant get to do this much. I looked at her as she shifted. Yes i know she doesn't drink.
Me: let start with juice first to calm our nerves. I saw her slowly breathing and KG looked at me and I showed him a signal and he smiled. He left the table leaving us alone as lulama adjusted herself on the chair.Lulama
How am I going to tell him without offending him that I don't drink at all.
J.T: you look beautiful
Me: Thank you, iv never been on a date before in my life and this is all new and different.
J.T: i hope its a good different
Me: more like an amazing different. I smiled at him and he smiled too as a waitress came with our fancy looking juice.
J.T: So, what will you like to talk about?
Me: When did you have time to set all this up?
J.T: KG and I are old friends so I called him and he did good I guess
Me: Its amazing
J.T: want to open the tiny box? I nodded and I opened it and turned it for him to see it was a small fridge magnet that had "ᵗᵒ ᵐᵃⁿʸ ᵐᵒʳᵉ ᵈⁱⁿⁿᵉʳ ᵈᵃᵗᵉˢ" That just made me smile more.
Me: this is cute... thank you
J.T: my pleasure. Food came and we ate over light conversation. The conversation was flowing and he was funny and very informative. I throughly enjoyed myself and so did he. Not once did he check his phone, or leave the table. I found myself strangely content with him and comfortable with him. I turned to look out the window and I saw the moon was too bright and I looked at him smiling.
J.T: what are you thinking?
Me: Nothing just wondering what time is it iv never seen the moon this bright before. He took out his phone and showed me the screen that showed 3am. I looked at him shocked and he smiled like really smiled and that brought a smile to my face since this is the first time iv seen him smile since iv been with him. All his been doing is sigh and chuckles.
J.T: time flies when you having fun right?
Me: Yeah.
J.T: we can get going. He got up and helped me out of the chair than he walked around the restaurant checking if all is closed and I watched him and he went to the back than came back too.
Me: I didnt even see its only us now
J.T: They didnt want to disturb us when they left. I nodded as he took the keys in the counter and we walked out with him locking up and setting the Alarm.J.T
I drove towards her house with us being completely silent soaking in tonights events and i got in and parked.
Me: Thank you for being lovely company today, ill love for us to be together again.
Lulama: That would be nice, ill like that too. Thank you for tonight, i really loved everything about it.
Me: my pleasure. She kept quiet looking at me not sure about herself than took her flowers and box and I got out of the car and opened the door for her. I closed the door and I walked with her to her door, when we got there she opened the door.
Lulama: Want to come in?
Me: Maybe another time. Goodnight Miss Phongo. She smiled brightly. " goodnight" she stood in her tip toes and kissed my cheek making me turn pink. She got in and heard her lock and I walked to the car and drove home.Lulama
I stood at the door and stayed there waiting for my heart to stop beating fast. Wow this was one of the most amazing night of my life. As much as his also not much of a talker but i enjoyed everything that he did and how he carried the conversation light and mature. I took out my shoes and put the flowers in a jug and open the box and place the magnet where it suppose to be with a smile. I changed to my Pj and just got in bed and just slept.
I woke up around ten am in the morning and took my phone to see two texts from J.T
The first one was at 4:20 it read: 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘻𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵,𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘭𝘦𝘦𝘱𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭❤️Than the other text was sent at 8am and it read: 𝘎𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘭𝘦𝘱𝘵 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘢𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘧 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶. 𝘥𝘰 𝘮𝘦 𝘢 𝘧𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘤𝘬 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘥𝘰𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘦𝘹𝘵.❤️
I jumped out of bed and run to my door opening it and there on the floor was a pink box and white roses and s card. I picked it up and closed the door opening the box to look in to different kind of muffins with some that have letters that spell good-morning. I flipped the card and it read: 𝘛𝘰 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘣𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴
𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦
𝘑.𝘛I stood there smiling and took my phone out and snapped a few pictures and went to whatapp.

Me: okay. He hung up and I stood there frozen. What just happened. Is this really happening to me?? What have I done to deserve such treatment? I smiled as I went to take a quick shower......
