The Secret Within

the date

officer fin quickly got out the car and jumped to open the door for me...which I wouldn't have had it any other way. 

"as a gentlemen should" I smiled as I got in. he nodded, went around the car and got in himself. 

"so, where are you taking me? cause you know, a women like me doesn't just go anywhere." I asked as we both put our seatbelts on. he turned to look at me as if to answer but then his face went blank and looked past me. 

"uhhh...you good?" before I could even really get an answer there was a knock on my window. I sighed even before I looked only because I just knew who it was. 

I turned and just like I knew, it was gezzy. He was  motioning me to roll down the window. so annoyingly...I did. 

"what?" I said sharply.

as if he didn't care that I had an attitude, he smirked " uh when will you be home? cause you know your sister and I were just talking and decided it should be before 11pm. 

'what the hell was he doing' I said to myself 'this is so fucking awkward' 

I gritted my teeth and tightly smiled, "gezzy you don't need to worry about me, I will be back at MY place whenever I want to be back. but you, should be going back at yours...right?" 

"nah I don't think-" 

"doesn't seem like thinking is your thing, mate." officer fin interrupted.

ah hell. why doesn't he just drive away. 

I could literally see both men's chest pumped up as if they were two bull's ready to fight. I just rolled my eyes. this, is exactly why I don't get involved with men. this date to get my ticket paid was gonna cost me...I could feel it already. 

"well 'mate'." gezzy started in smartly " I 'think' you should mind the business that feeds you and stay out of mine".

I just wanted to go so I knew I had to speak up and say something that would get gezzy to walk away...no matter how hard it might be to say it. 

 "im not your business though..am I gezzy? I have never been your business. so you telling him to mind his....well you should listen to your own advice"

gezzy looked at me as if I just hurt his very soul, mumbled something, walked away, got in his car, and sped off. I hated how mean I am to him sometimes but the truth is the truth. gezzy had to realize that I wasn't his women and had to stop treating me as if. either way, I was going to go on this date. so, if he liked it or not...it didn't matter to me. 

I turned and smiled, " sorry about that...shall we?" I gestured towards the road and without saying anything he just took off down the street.

*************************************20 minutes later***********************************

we pulled up to spot that looked very 5-stary. I mean he really out did himself.  Majority of the parked cars were lambo's and Mercedes. 

Damn, this really was my type of restaurant. 

it got even better when we got out the car and walked in. the decor inside was very stylish as if Elsie de Wolfe decorated herself. very eye catching. 

the waiter ushered us to our table and we sat. for about 10 minutes straight, I just stared and took everything in. 

"you like? is it...your style? you know, being the woman you are"

I really had almost forgot I was even on a date until he said something. 

I cleared my throat "it's actually very beautiful". 

Then I realized how much of a fan girl I felt I was being and fixed myself. "I have ate here once or twice though...kinda old news but the style of this place never ceases to amaze me". I was definitely lying out my teeth but he didn't need to know that. 

he narrowed his eyes at me for a second as if he knew I was lying but then smiled and said, "glad you approve, should we eat?". 

************************************30 minutes later************************************

that was one of the best dates I have been on and trust me, I have been on countless.

Men seem to think that its the way to women's hearts and maybe it is... just not to mine.  Im actually getting closer and closer to believing I don't even have one anymore. but, sometimes I go on dates just for the thrill of it and sometimes I have to for my job... but we'll get into that later. 

I liked getting to know him. His last name was actually finland but they call him officer fin for short. first name....rich. which I like a little too much. 

He is a bit older than I am...he's 27 but I wasn't looking to date the man anyways. just wasn't in my dna but maybe I'll keep him around for fun.. who knows.  

we pulled back up to my house and just like before...he jumped and ran to open my door. I stepped out, kissed his cheek, and headed for my door. "Thankyou for the night....and don't forget that ticket you owe".I smiled one more time at him and blew him a kiss. 

 I slipped in the door and before I closed it, I heard him say: "wait! but I thought...."

"yeah, I know"
