We leave just an hour over my shift ended. I Have no idea where we are heading , I wanted to change out of my work clothes.
so we stop at my apartment. Yes everyone is looking out of there windows , its not everyday you see a limo parked outside well not where I live anyways.
we enter my apartment. " its not much but its home " I say
" And what a lovely home it is " he replies.
" do you want a drink ? while you wait for me to change " I ask
"No thank you , im fine " he replies.
He sits down notices a book im reading . cannot believe I've left it there , this is so embarrassing. shall we say its rather kinky romantic book. Jesus can this day get any worse . without a second glance at him I rush to the bedroom grab my clothes i need enter the bathroom have the most quickest shower ive ever had blow dry my hair, put a tiny bit of make up on . put my dress on that has lace detailing on it , coming down to my thighs , its blush pink coloring my go to dress for special occasions, then put my flats on as my feet are killing me .
I head back to the living room. Dante is still reading .
"I'm ready, " I announce .
Dante looks at me and smiles . "Come on then let's go ". he says.
"Where are you taking me ?" I ask.
"Just a little restaurant, I know " he says
"Great description you gave there " I say sarcastically. with a little nervous giggle. He just smiles at me . Why am I giggling? im acting as though I've never been out with a man before. get a grip I scold myself.
We end up in an very expensive restaurant. The server's recognised Dante . He must come here alot then .
The server shows us to our table and hands us a menu each.
This is fantastic not , wheres the burgers and fries ? what is this stuff that I never heard of and im never willing to try it, nice place but s**t food . Take me to a restaurant that has decent food for Christ sake. I must have the weirdest look on my face . As Dante turns his head and asks " whats wrong ? " and I reply " nothing " . I suppose ill go with the steak and potatoes with some wierd s**t on them and vegetables. My best option really, its all too fancy for me . I'm not a salad eating person dont get me wrong I eat it , but I like meat.
Dante asks " What would you like ?"
I reply " steak mediumare and the wierd s**t potatoes and vegetables .
Dante looked shocked and nearly choked on his drink.
" What!! I don't care I like my meat , im not a rabbit yes I know i need to loose a few pounds but I'm not starving myself for no one." I say
Dante says " never have I took a woman out that orders meat, they either say they are vegetarian, nothing wrong with being vegetarian by the way but 5 out of the 10 woman i have taken out are vegetarian it does get boring to see them all eat the same thing .or on a diet , even though they don't need to loose weight and they know it, so they are looking for my comment on it and dont get it so they pout or ask to leave " .
"Well I must be anomaly then for you , " I laugh " one thing I can say about myself if I am hungry I eat whatever I want, I don't try to fit in with society, if someone doesn't like what I do then its there problem not mine. "
Dante smiles and says " its refreshing for sure, and I like that you don't pretend to be something or want to fit in "
" thank you for the compliment, I think that was a compliment or was it ? " I ask smirking .
Dante replys" it was a compliment. "
Dante places our orders and orders a bottle of wine ,. no doubt expensive. but hey ho what do I care im not footing the bill. .
"So tell me more about yourself, then Emma " Dante asks
"What's there to know about me ?? .. erm let me think , What you see is what you get basically, im an open book. I have an elder sister running her own company doing very well for herself. I have an elder brother, whom is trying to rectify his life , an younger sister whom looks after her disabled husband. I live alone , my parents are retired and travelling around the world ,as we speak they are in France , wish I was with them . I have various hobbies which are crafting alsorts of items from jewellery to card making , cross stitching, reading , knitting boring to most people but to me I find it fascinating . " I say
Dante smirks and says " oh what sort of books do you like to read , or should I guess"
I turn beetroot red oh my god ground just swallow me whole now please.
He knows what sort of books I read . this is so embarrassing.
" Tell me about yourself " I say trying to change the subject.
With a smug smile he says " well as you know I run my own business several actually , I have 1 brother , I have several step- siblings ,apparently my dad can't keep himself to one woman, " I can tell with the last statement he isn't to fond of his dad .
we talk for hours about various subjects . Its great that I was able to keep a general conversation going .
"We best get back , its getting late " Dante says .
I look at the time , its nearly midnight.
"Well Emma what a pleasant, evening I have had , its been a long time since I've had an enjoyable meal. " Dante says as he helps me to get out of the car . He really is a proper gentleman.
" its been a very enjoyable night for me too. and its also been a while I've been out " I say .
