(Dangerously in Love: Ch 4)
“Where’s Colette when I need her! I don’t even know where we are going. Darn it,” she felt like she was starting to panic.
“Okay relax. Something semi-formal. Not too dressy, but not too non-dressy,” she told herself.
She jumped into the shower and jumped out in 25min. It was now 6:o5. She blow dried her hair and straightened it out. She went through her closet. ‘Black. Conservative, but nice for all occasions’ She pulled out some nice dress pants that sat at the waist. She looked over at a cute soft pink corset top she had.
“That corset would look cute with a sweater. Ugh no…”she said.
She kept looking. She saw a dress that still had a tag on.
“What the heck is this?” she was a bit surprised.
She pulled out a black babydoll dress. It was made of cotton and it had white lace trim on the bottom and the top. It also had a removable bow at the waist, but she thought it looked cute. She liked the fact that it had adjustable straps.
“I like this. Dang, I can’t believe I still have things that are tagged. It’s kind of a sin”
She looked over at the clock next to her desk. 6:3o. ‘F***!’ she thought
In a heartbeat, she found the perfect shoes and did her makeup. ‘Now what perfume do I wear?’ She went through her medical cabinet, which belonged to her and Colette. ‘Paris Hilton will do’
It was now 6:5o. She had her handbag and everything else she needed. She grabbed a glass of water, she paced around the kitchen, kept looking at the clock and it still seemed to say 6:5o.
Her phone went off. ‘It’s him’ She let out a big breath and answered.
“Hello?”
“Hey. Are you ready? If you aren’t, I could wait for you”
“No I’m good to go,” she answered. ‘At least I think I am’ she thought.
She was outside her apartment so fast she almost forgot to lock the door.
He was outside and he got out to try to open the door for her, but she went for the door and just smiled.
“Where did you want to go?” said Apolo.
“Anywhere really,” Sophia responded. It didn’t seem like it, but Sophia was actually really shy when it came to dating.
“Well what do you like to eat? Or what kind of food? What do you feel like eating?”
“Well actually,” she said while playing with her freshly black polished nails and avoiding his look, “I’ve had a craving for Italian,” she said still avoiding him
“What I’m sorry I didn’t quite hear you? Is there something wrong? Am I making you uncomfortable?”
“What? Oh no. I’m just…” she cleared her throat softly, “I said I’ve had a craving for Italian, but I don’t know if you…”
“I’m down for some Italian,” he smiled.
“Alright then”
They went to a nice down beat Italian restaurant. The room was nicely lit, not too bright.
She asked if they could be seated in far corner. Apolo was glad he didn’t really want anybody recognizing him, although he had already gotten a few looks. ‘Please don’t let anybody interrupt our dinner’ he said to himself. ‘Please don’t let anyone interrupt our dinner’ Sophia too was thinking.
They had their orders taken and soon Sophia started to lose her shyness.
At first she didn’t really know what they would talk about. ‘Hell what do I have to talk about?’ she thought
She had a glass of water and had both of her hands on it, as if it was a life supporter. She felt like she was starting to panic again. ‘Gosh I’m so nervous’
“So Sophia…”
“Yes?
They were both just smiling at each other.
“Well I would like to know more about you”
‘He really wants to know about me? That’s so strange. Maybe he just wants to kill time until our food comes. Or maybe he’s really being sincere’ Sophia thought.
“You aren’t very talkative are you?” he said looking straight at her.
“What? Oh I was just…well I’m still going to school. Nothing very exciting there”
“Really. Wait. If I may ask and you wont’ be offend..”
“I’m 24. I expected to see myself finished with school by now, but sometimes things don’t turn out the way you plan them”
“Well at least you’re still in school, there’s people that just quit
“That’s what everybody says,” she answered back, and for the first time he heard a bit of frustration in her voice.
“So what are you studying?”
“Politics! Political Science to be exact. I enjoy the hypocracy, all that fun stuff,” she smiled.
He just stared at her in shock.
“Sorry. That’s a bit of my dark side”
He laughed. “I understand. You have to be passionate in what you do”
Their dinner came and while they ate they were both quite quiet.
After they were both done, everything was paid for. Sophia really wanted to pay, so she had to settle for tipping.
“I invited”
“But it was sweet enough of you to ask,”
“It was sweet enough of you to say yes,” he smiled.
“Fine,” she smiled back.
He dropped her off. They gave each other goodnight hugs, and both leaned in for a good night kiss. Apolo drove away with a huge grin and Sophia stood at the front of her door with smile from ear to ear.
