Regina sat on the bed watching Dei'ani scurrying around her bedroom with a smirk on her face. It was hilarious how nervous her best friend was but she could understand. She knew and understood how Dei'ani felt about Laurent. Her best friend was in love with the man and he had no clue of her feelings or of the person he'd be taking out tonight. Regina knew that Dei'ani changing the way she looked would help and she'd been right. Not only had it helped Dei'ani catch the attention of her love, but they were even going out on a date together and Regina couldn't be more thrilled for her friend. Her attention was snagged when Dei'ani yelled her name. "Reg, I need your help. Which one?" Dei'ani held up a high collar dress in green in one hand and a black and white dress with detached sleeves in the other. Regina looked at both before smiling and pointing to her choice. "I think you should wear that one, it would look great on you."
Dei'ani looked at both outfits before tossing the green one on the bed and heading into her closet with the other one. She emerged and headed to the bathroom for a quick shower. Regina put away all of the things Dei'ani pulled out while she was in the shower. Dei'ani walked out of the bathroom a few minutes later and headed back to the closet. She lotioned her body and put on perfume before going to her vanity to do her hair.
Once she was done, she slipped into her dress and heels. She grabbed her purse, keys, and phone and made her way downstairs. Stepped into the living room looking down at her phone when she heard a whistle. She looked up to see Regina smiling at her and nodding her head in approval. "Girl, you look marvelous! Laurent won't be able to keep his eyes off you tonight. And if he plays his cards right, he might not be able to keep his hands off you either." Dei'ani's head shot up as she stared at her best friend. "Reg, it won't be anything like that going on. I'm just going to enjoy spending time with him and getting to learn more about him as he does the same with me. I can assure you there won't be any touching going on." Regina scoffed and shook her head. "Girl, you don't believe that any more than I do. You've been wanting that man for the longest and you're trying to get me to believe that by the end of the night, the two of you won't be wrapped up in each other's arms or you won't have your legs wrapped around his waist or better yet, his neck?" Dei'ani blushed before heading to the door. "As entertaining as this conversation is, I have to go. I'm meeting him at the restaurant soon. I'll see you later Reg." Dei'ani slid into the driver's seat and put the key in the ignition. She started up her car and backed out of her driveway heading to the restaurant. When she pulled up to the restaurant, she exited the car and handed her keys to the valet before making her way inside. She was greeted by the maitre'd and he escorted her to a closed-off section in the back of the room. He pulled the door open and motioned for her to step inside. She thanked him and turned to face the room only to see a beautiful table in the middle of the room.
