As soon as Deckard left, I started dressing the window mannequins for my store. I loved my job. It gave me a sense of purpose and fulfillment. I wasn't just standing there and looking pretty, like these mannequins I was dressing. I was into visual merchandising, I liked making things look pretty. I got so good at it, my manager let me come up with some ideas myself. They were a big hit with our customers, that she let me have a bigger opinion in most of the changes we did. I got out of work a bit late today but I rushed home. I still had a few hours before my date with Deckard, or should I say Smith but I was so nervous it would take me a minute to find an outfit. I got home and Shay was sitting on our kitchen counter eating my favorite chips.
"I want some," I said in a begging voice. She grabbed a bowl from the cabinet next to her and poured me some. "aww, love." Maggie came storming into the apartment a few minutes later.
"So, who's going first?" I asked.
"I barely wrote a line because I was too busy looking at my phone wondering if it was a good time to call Andrew or not," Maggie complained. "Done."
"I gave Jack a tattoo," Shay said casually.
"No, he went," I said. "AWWW!"
"Damn, it's not that big of a deal," Shay said.
"Really," I said as I gave her a look.
"YES!" she answered. "I like him but not so much I want to make him my man."
"Wow," Maggie said. "Well, that's something new."
"He's cool and hella hot," Shay said. "Plus he's good in bed so I want to enjoy it before I eventually get bored."
"Well, have fun and remember to tell me all about it," Maggie winked at Shay.
"So, your turn?" Shay said to me.
"Deckard asked me on a date," I said awkwardly.
"WOAH! Two dates?" Maggie questioned.
"Yeah, he asked me after I told him about Talon asking me out," I said to them.
"Hmm, interesting," Maggie teased.
"Okay, okay," I said. "He also wants me to call him Smith, not Deckard." Shay and Maggie both looked at me kind of funny.
"Even more interesting," Maggie said.
"Stop," I said.
"You're in trouble," Shay said.
"What do you mean," I asked concerned.
"He is soooo into you," Shay said. Maggie nodded her head in agreement.
"So, when are you guys going out," Maggie asked.
"Tonight," I whispered. Maggie and Shay looked at each other and grinned.
"OH REALLY!" they both said in unison.
"Someone is going to get lucky tonight," Shay joked.
"I wonder what sexy sleepwear she will choose this time," Maggie added.
"BBQ chips are the best, don't you think?" I said ignoring their jokes and smart remarks.
"Whatever just have fun," Maggie said.
"Yeah, not too much fun," Shay added. I rolled my eyes and went to my room. Deckard looked like the type to take you to a fancy, well more than fancy type restaurant. So I went for something more lavish. I picked a blue satin spaghetti strap dress. It had a low neckline and a slit on the thigh. I looked at the time and realized I only had five minutes left. I took a deep breath, looked at myself in the mirror, and sprayed some perfume on my wrists. I heard a knock on the door and was impressed he didn't text me to come outside. Maggie and Shay opened the door. They were giggling like teenagers. I walked out and the minute Deckard saw me his eyes grew wider. A slow smile grew on his face. I walked towards the door and he stepped aside to let me pass.
"Goodnight ladies," Deckard said to Shay and Maggie.
"Night," they both said back.
"Take good care of our girl," Shay added. He bowed his head and placed his hand on my lower back and gestured for me to keep moving. I was nervous the entire time. He was dressed so impeccable. He had a dark blue turtle neck on and a fancy black suit over it. I wanted to stare at him some more but his eyes looking back at me caused me to look away.
"You look stunning," he said.
"Thank you," I said softly. Deckard made me feel so good and yet so low all at the same time. We finally made it to an upscale hotel. I was right, I knew he would do the most. We entered the lounge and as soon as the hostess saw him she bowed and escorted us to a VIP area. This was the first date I have ever had to sit on a bed to eat dinner or have a drink. Deckard ordered for the both of us.
"So Smith, come here a lot?" I asked him. He turned to me and smiled.
"Not really, the current owner wants me to become a partner so I thought I would get a reliable opinion from someone I trust to decided whether or not I should go for it or not," he said. I began to blush and took a sip of my drink.
"No reason to blush, you seem like an honest woman and a woman with great taste," he said smoothly. Lord, he must have every woman drop their panties the minute he opens his gorgeous mouth.
"Well, the drink is amazing," I told him.
"I agree," he said. "Taste this." He brought a small piece of food to my mouth. I couldn't help but moan in delight.
"I guess you enjoyed it," he smirked. I didn't say anything. I knew this man was going to make me do bad things. I just knew it. "I hope you enjoy the rest of the night just as much."
"Me too," I said as boldly as I could. The night went well, I had an amazing time. Deckard told me more about himself. His likes and dislikes. I was surprised by how much he was willing to open up. It was nice though. He took me home, he didn't ask me to go over to his place but he did ask if he could spend the night again. I said yes, I didn't hesitate or say it reluctantly. I said yes and he came inside with me. We slept together but just like before he just laid next to me. I don't know what this man's deal is but I was curious enough to want to find out.
