King Elijah

Chapter 28 | Some Type Of Mafia Family

I look into the mirror and analyze my outfit.

It's a bit chilly today but the sun is out, making for perfect dress weather. I'm wearing a red dress with a black flower pattern and fishnet stocking underneath it. I'm wearing my black combat boots and pairing it with a black jacket on top.

I place my jacket on my bed and spray on my perfume. My phone starts to ping downstairs and I remember I left it on the kitchen counter. Hurrying my way down the stairs I see texts from Bella and Abby.

Abby:  goodluck!

Bella: have fun!

Abby: do you know where he's taking you?

Me: thank you guys.

Me: im actually kinda nervous

Bella: dont be! itll be great

Me: i love you guys

Me: but no i don't know yet. all he said was 'outside'

A knock is heard at my door.

Me: gotta go! he's here :)

Quickly going to open the door I'm greeted by a smiling Elijah. He's wearing a white cashmere sweater and black jeans with a matching jacket on top. 

"Hi, Elijah."

"Hello, Alora. You look, stunning."

I can't help but smile at his words, "Thank you, so do you." 

"Are you ready to go?"

"Yes!" I say grabbing my phone. I follow him out the door and towards his car. "Are you finally gonna tell me where we're going?"

He opens the door for me and gets into the passenger seat. Starting up the car he starts to drive. "Well, it's only a couple of minutes away if you can hold off until then."

I nod my head eagerly, "Have you had a good day?"

"My day turned astronomically good now that I'm with you." 

My cheeks blush, "You're so cheesy."

"It's not cheesy if it's true."

We arrive to a park and walk towards the gazebo a few feet from the car. It has a reserved sign in the middle which Elijah quickly removes. 

"It's crazy what putting up a sign will get people to do." He says putting it to the side.

I can't help but let out a laugh, "You put that sign there?"

"Just picked it up from home depot and put it down before going to pick you up. Pretty genius if you ask me."

"Genius indeed." I agree.

He pulls out a basket from under one of the seats along with a blanket which he lays down in the middle. From the basket, he removes a small vase with a singular rose in it. "I thought I would make this an official date with adding some decor."

I chuckle, "It's perfect."

I lean over to give him a kiss on the cheek, I smell his beautiful cologne while doing so. The smell engulfs me and fills me with all I can describe as happiness. 

"Excuse me madam but I don't know what you take me for. I don't kiss on the first date, I save such things for marriage."

"Oh shut up," I say rolling my eyes.
