Caught between two Millionaires

My first date

So today is the day I finally go on a date. I spent most of last night texting Leo. He is such an amazing guy. Somehow it feels like I’ve known him for ages. He was a bit taken back by the fact that I hadn’t been on a date before. At 25 years old Leo has achieved things in his career that people twice his age haven’t. I have never been a materialistic person so the fact that Leo was successful wasn’t what drew me to him. It was the fact that he was a nice person despite having success. Most of the rich guys I knew were snobs. I was surprised to learn that Leo knows my dad and they have met on a few occasions at various corporate events.

I was excited to go on a date but I had no idea what to wear. I thought about having my hair and nails done today but I didn’t want to come across as desperate or trying too hard. I wanted Leo to like me for me. I was fresh out of college and interning as a junior ad executive. The job did pay well and one of the perks was that I got a lot of time off in between campaigns. I loved my job. I was able to use my creativity to help companies build their brands. Thanks to these perks I had half the day off to prepare for my date with Leo

Since Leo and I were off to Classique I had to dress for the occasion. You had to be dressed in smart formal wear to be allowed entry into the restaurant. Leo said that he would call ahead and make reservations for us. I was finally able to make my mind up about what to wear. I chose a knee length off the shoulder little black dress. The bodice was silk fitted snugly against my tiny waist and the skirt which was lace flared out. I had loose curls in my hair. My make-up consisted of eye liner, mascara, a little blush and red lips. I looked at myself one more time in the mirror before spraying some expensive perfume and grabbing my handbag and car keys making sure that both my cell phone and wallet were both inside. I had no intention of making myself into a fool in front of Leo again.

Driving to the restaurant, I could feel the butterflies in my tummy. I was worried that the date might end in disaster. I hoped not. Leo is cute. I’m not sure if he would feel the same about me but it would be nice to see him again and get to know him. I had left home a little early just to make sure I was on time. I arrived at 6 45pm  and decided to go in. Leo could join me once he got here. I got to the restaurant and was pleasantly surprised to see Leo already seated and waiting.

I walked to the table carefully trying to not trip over my feet. Leo looked gorgeous. I hope I don’t drool. As soon as I got to the table Leo stood up and handed me a gorgeous bouquet of red and white roses. “Leo! Thank you, they are gorgeous.” “You’re welcome Andrea,” Leo said while handing me a gift bag. I looked inside to find a box of my favourite Belgian chocolates. “Leo how did you know these were my favorite?” I gasped. “They are my favorite too Andrea I thought I’d have you try them out and see if you liked them. Glad to know you do. Guess that’s another thing we have in common.”

The rest of the date was just as amazing. We really enjoyed each other’s company and getting to know each other.  I can’t recall the last time I laughed this much. The food was divine. Leo couldn’t stop himself from laughing at my moaning with each bite. Once dessert was over and time to leave I asked the waiter for bill but he said that the bill had already been taken care of by Mr Jackson. “That’s not fair Leo. I was supposed to pay,” I fussed. “Well,” said Leo, “I guess you owe me another date then. How about lunch tomorrow  1 pm at Gianni’s?” I grin “I guess it’s a date then.”

Driving home I couldn’t help but think about how amazing Leo was and I couldn’t wait to see him again.  When I got home I decided to have a hot shower to help me sleep better because my mind was in over drive fantasizing about my future with my Prince Leo. After changing into my sleep wear and crawling under my blanket I notice my phone light flashing. It’s a text from Leo. “Thank you for a wonderful date beautiful. Can’t wait to see you tomorrow.” I text back “Had a great time too see you in a few hours.”

That night I had the sweetest dreams ever thanks to my Prince Leo.
