DANCING WITH THE DEVIL

MEMORY PART 4-FALLING FOR HIM

JEENA’S P.O.V

My room was in a state of disaster with dresses scattered all over my bed and floor. It took me almost an hour to pick out what to wear for my date today. Due to my crazy shopping habits I was lost for choice. So I picked up my Iphone and called my best friend Lexi over. Lexi knew everything there was to know about beauty, as she was the most popular girl throughout our high school years. Her blonde hair, long legs and porcelain skin managed to turn heads wherever she went.

Ten minutes after the call my doorbell rang. At the door stood Lexi with a wide smile on her face. “SO, TELL ME THE DETAILS” she excitedly screamed. “What’s his name? Where is he from? How did your’ll meet?” she said all in one quick breath. While I was filling her in on all the detail from Joe to Dane , she picked out a red dress which hugged my body until my waist and flowed freely stopping just above my knees. She also did my make up to perfection and insisted on a bright red lipstick as she thought it complimented my dress perfectly.

She started to do the curls on my hair, when my phone rang. Seeing an unfamiliar number, my heart

began to beat faster and butterflies began to fly in my tummy, I thought it was Dane calling to tell me that he is here. However, as I answered confusion settled on my face as it was a woman on the other side. The blood drained out of my face when I found out who the women on the phone was. Lexi noticed my expression and mouthed “What happened?” in concern. I held the phone closely against my tummy so that the woman on the other side doesn’t overhear my conversation with Lexi. “It’s Joe’s P.A . She called saying that he was in an accident, hence he did not inform her to contact me but he is feeling much

better now and wants to meet tomorrow.” I said. “Say yes” Lexi said in a loud whisper. Confused I

followed her instructed and ended the call.

“Did you forget that you are getting me dressed to meet Dane?” I asked sarcastically. “No” she mumbled not paying much attention as she was busy perfecting my hair. “So why did I say yes to meeting Joe tomorrow?” my question was filled with confusion as I scrunched my eyebrows watching her in my mirror. Setting the hair curler down, she came in front of me. “Because baby girl, I don’t want to see you get hurt, keep your options opened and your chin will stay up.” She said in the most serious tone I have ever heard her use.

……………….

Excitement filled my soul as I heard a hoot and a text which read ‘I’m here’ lit up my screen. As I walked towards the black Range Rover parked outside I couldn’t fight the smile off my face, to my comfort as I opened the car door I was greeted by a smile which reflected mine.

He seemed to have our date planned out as he as he took me to one of the most exclusive restaurants in the mall. Our seating across one another had my inner goddess losing her mind with excitement to get a perfect view of the Greek god in front of us. We placed our orders and as we waited he told me about his work, his lifestyle and showed me photos on his phone about what he was talking about. He had my attention captured the entire time with his uniqueness. While speaking about myself I told him a joke and that’s when it happened. His light chuckle followed by his wide breath taking smile and a sparkle in his eyes as they looked into mine, had me mesmerized. It felt as if this is what I've been looking for all my life. This is what I've  been looking for in every guy I went on a date with. I've finally found it, in the man in front of me , with that I started to fall.

After having starters, mains and desert at the restaurant we then order milkshakes from Cinnabon. I don’t think that I've ever eaten this much in my life, bear in mind that I was unable to finish off my main meal and only agreed for a desert after much pursuance from him. While we sipped on our rich Bar One milkshakes we went on a little shopping adventure, trying out clothes which we thought will look good on one another. I was thrilled to meet a man that enjoys shopping as much as I do, after buying a few garments we left the mall.

When we got into his van, he didn’t start the vehicle immediately. I turned to him in confusion, that's our eyes locked and it was almost as if time stood still as we were both looking into each other's soul's, reading one another's emotions as we were mesmerized in the moment. His eyes held admiration as he leaned in and I turned facing the window. I couldn’t let him kiss me just after the first date, it’s against my good girl code. “So would you like to see me again?” He asked as we reached my house. “I would love to” I said with a smile. “Great, because I enjoyed every moment with you” he said, leaving me blushing. He waited until I was safely inside my house and then he drove off, proving that he has the qualities of a true gentleman which only made me fall deeper.
