1601 Words
    Joey knocked on the door once more. I ran downstairs and as I got closer to the door, I slowed down, fixed my dress, and then opened the door. "Woah. You look.." he paused for a moment, and then said, "fu*king gorgeous!" I had this cheesy little smile on my face as I turned around and looked at Jess. "Joey, this is my best friend Jess. Jess, this is Joey," I said. "Well, are you about ready to go?" he asked politely. "Of course. Let's go!" I said excitedly.      I let Jess know that I would call her whenever I got home to let her know how the date went. Jess followed in behind us, so I could lock the apartment up. She hugged me, and whispered in my ear, "Damn, he's hot!" she said. Joey and I headed down to his car. He opened the passenger side door, and I got inside. He had a nice car. It was a 2014 Mustang, the interior was lime green and black, and there were lime green lights underneath, lighting the car up. I always had a thing for Mustangs, so that made me like him just a little bit more.      "You ready to go?" he beamed. "Yes! let's go" I replied. On the way to the restaurant, Joey didn't say much of anything. I'm not sure if it was because he was nervous, or what. It kind of made me feel uncomfortable but I didn't say anything. I've never really been good with starting conversations, so I didn't say much either. But once we reached the restaurant it was a different story. He would stop talking. "Well, here we are." he implied. The restaurant that we were at had a valet. Joey got out of the car and came around to open the door for me. We walked into the restaurant where Joey had already made reservations. "So, you must have assumed that I would say yes to a date?" I laughed. "No, but I was hoping," he said excitedly. The greeter took us to our seats, there was a beautiful waterfall only feet from us, candles were on every table, and right in front of where I sat, there was a gorgeous tulip. "A man after my own heart," I gushed. The table that was at was privately hidden behind a huge wall. Only 2 other tables were back here and there's no one else here. "Are you trying to get me alone, Mr. Joey?" I jokingly said. "Joey nodded, and said, "You're a beautiful woman, Sinclair, how could anyone not want to be with such a stunning creature."      We starting talking a little bit, and he asked me to tell him more about myself. "Well, I am 25 years old, I was born and raised in California. So I have been here all of my life. I have visited other states for their attractions but never lived anywhere else. I have one sister. Her name is Angel. She lives in Florida, she moved away when she was 18. I kind of just stayed behind. Got my apartment and right out of high school started working at the bar/grill thanks to my best friend Jess. Who you met at my house. I started as a waitress because I was only 18, it would be illegal for me to serve alcohol. At that time, I could only work certain hours, because the bar stayed open until 2 am and it would be illegal for me to be there. I stayed there, and once I turned 21, I became a bartender. That place is my life. I love working there. Enough about that though. I don't have any children. Nor, do I want any, anytime soon." I concluded. "You are still young, if you don't want children right now then I don't think that there is anything wrong with that, besides, why would you want to mess up that gorgeous body?" he expressed as he put his head on my knee.     The waitress came over to take our drink orders. I had water, while he wanted sweet tea. The waitress who's name was Amber asked us if we were ready to order. "I'm ready if he is," I said. I decided on the Chili Verde, it was spicy and had this amazing green sauce with it. I always ordered some pico de gallo with it, it had just the right amount of heat. Joey, on the other hand, ordered a shrimp cocktail and an enchilada. I don't know what it was about him exactly but I couldn't take my eyes off of him. "So, tell me more about you," I exclaimed.      "So as you already know, I have lived in Georgia my entire life. I decided to move back here to take care of my daughter and my mother after my ex-girlfriend decided that she was going to leave our daughter behind to take off with some man that she barely knew. I couldn't have my daughter growing up like that. My mom was ordered custody of my daughter Nevaeh because, at the time, I wasn't physically able to take care of her. I was a tattoo artist and a damn good one. I made some good money there, but my mother, although she didn't mind what I did for a living, just didn't want Nevah around that kind of environment. So, I saved up enough money, I quit my job and moved here. So back to moving here, I found a steady job as a welder and worked there for a while, and eventually, started tattooing again and I now make enough money to support myself and my daughter. I'm trying to get full custody of her, but it's not been easy." he sighed.      Our waitress was coming with our food. "Oh, I'm starved," I said. She sat our food down, and asked us, "Is there anything else I can get for you?" Both Joey and I, shook our head no. We started to eat our food, after about 10 minutes, we were both full. "that was so delicious," I said. "You look delicious," he said. I immediately started to blush. This handsome guy that was sitting beside me thought that I was hot. I was so used to my dates going so wrong, I didn't have high expectations for this one. We sat at the table talking for another hour. He just kept complimenting me and telling me how gorgeous that I was. I was in lust. After an hour went by, we asked the waitress for to-go plates for the remainder of our food. Joey and I had gotten extremely comfortable with one another, and he started flirting even more so. Rubbing his hands down my thigh. I had ached for a man's touch for so long. It felt good. I looked over at him with intensity in my eyes. "Can I kiss you?" he whispered. I shook my head yes. He gently grabbed my face and planted the most sensual kiss that I had ever had. He started kissing down my neck and before long, his hands were between my thighs. I moaned without realizing it. He eventually stopped as the waitress came around the corner. "Are we ready to check out?" she growled as if she saw what he was doing. "Yes," quaked Joey. I looked down at his pants, he was rock hard and I could feel myself getting excited. Joey handed the waitress his credit card and once she walked away we started kissing even more. This time, his hand around my breast. I stopped him. I don't know what I was thinking. But I didn't want to be just some object. We had just met, and I didn't want to give myself to him in one night. "What's wrong," he wailed. "Joey, I like you, but I can't do this. We just met, this is our first date." I said. The waitress came back with Joey's card. We stood up, as I locked my arm with his, we walked out of the restaurant, where Joey's car was waiting. Once again, he opened the door for me, and I climbed inside. I was wet, I could feel it inside the tight black dress that I was wearing.      Before long, we were back at my place. We both got out, and Joey walked me to my apartment door. "I had a great time with you tonight. I am sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable in any way," he mumbled. "You didn't, I just want to save more for another time," I said. "You still want to see me after what happened?" he said excitedly. "Of course, I didn't say that I didn't enjoy it. It was nice to be touched like that. It felt good. But like I said, it's our first date. I don't want to end up a one-night stand, or a booty call. I want to make sure that this is going somewhere before I give myself to you." I cried out. Joey grabbed my hand, and once more asked if he could kiss me. Like before, I shook my head yes. He grabbed the back of my head and shoved his tongue down my throat. I felt goosebumps all over my body. He started kissing my neck and then back to my mouth, and then he stopped. "I had a good time tonight, can I call you tomorrow?" he said. I shook my head yes, and headed inside. "Have a good night, Sinclair," he smirked as he walked back to his car.
