It was Sunday and the couple were starting to get ready for dinner. Apollo was in the bedroom buttoning up his shirt and Arabella was in the bathroom staring at her reflection with hesitance.

Because of their recent shopping trip she had new clothes and she truly felt pretty in a black skirt that rest just above her knees along with slightly opaque black tights on and a long-sleeved white, cotton turtleneck that would keep her warm.

But the longer she looked, the more she wanted to stay home and cuddle with her man.

Walking to the door, she held onto the handle but didn't make any movements to open the door. She couldn't find the courage to do so for a while, but after a few deep breaths she finally opened it and walked into the room.

Turning around at the sound of the door opening, Apollo was enamoured of the sight.

She fiddled with her sleeves and looked up shyly to see his reaction. Slowly, he walked towards her and pushed her gently up against the wall with his hands caging her in.

"You look ravishing." She bit her lip at his compliment and stuttered a small 'thank you'. "My perfect girl." He kissed her jaw softly.

"You look amazing too." She looked up at him and let her hand cup his sharp jaw to feel his clean shaven face. "You're very handsome."

She giggled when he moved his head slightly to kiss her palm.

"Mmm, thank you sweetheart."

With a final kiss to her hand, they finished getting ready and were on their way to dinner.

Lost in her thoughts, her leg began to bounce up and down as she began overthinking. They would be there any second now. As always, Apollo noticed and placed a warm hand on her knee to keep it still, moving up to squeeze her thigh reassuringly.

When he was about to pull his hand away, she pulled it back to her thigh and used his rings and tattoos as a distraction.

Soon Apollo was taking his keys out of the engine and after getting out himself, he opened the passenger door for his girlfriend. Once the car was locked, he put his jacket around her shoulders to keep her warm.

"Ready baby?" She nodded, making him smile.

Holding her hand gently, he led them to the house they were parked in front of and knocked on the door.

Mere seconds later, the door was pulled open by Ricardo.

"Glad you guys could make it, come in." He smiled warmly as he let the couple walk in, shutting the door behind them. "Let me take your jacket." Apollo removed his jacket from his girl and they both thanked the polite male who hung it up beside the door.

"It smells wonderful man." Apollo complimented as the men pulled themselves into a brotherly hug.

"Thank you." Ricardo responded before his eyes fell upon the shy girl. "It's nice to see you again Arabella."

"I-It's nice to s-see y-you too." She replied, feeling relaxed as Apollo's hand rubbed her back soothingly.

"Oh my god! Finally!"

A yelp left the girl's mouth as she was taken into a sudden warm hug. Arabella hesitantly hugged the woman back who's warm embrace was extremely motherly. When Rue pulled away, she looked Arabella up and down with twinkling eyes.

"Oh my, you're so stunning!" The words made the shorter woman blush. "I'm so sorry, I've just been so excited to meet you. You must be Arabella. My name is Rue."

Arabella was taken aback by Rue's beauty; her smooth dark skin, her lovely natural hair in a slicked bun and the yellow casual dress she wore that complimented her melanin perfectly.

"U-Urm, it's, it's n-nice to m-meet y-you. I-I'm Arabella, b-but urm, you uhh, y-you already know that so urm..." She hesitated. "I-I like y-your d-dress." Although the compliment was quiet and shyly spoken, Rue squealed happily and brought her into another hug.

"You're the cutest thing! We have so much to talk about." She said excitedly before taking the girl's hand and leading her into the dining room.

With wide eyes, she looked back to Apollo who was talking to Ricardo but looking at her body being tugged gently away. The proud smirk on his face and the wink he sent her way made her stomach warm and she looked away again and focused on where she was being taken.

Rue pulled out a chair for the girl at a neatly laid table.

"Come, sit." She stood behind the chair and Arabella sent a small smile as a thanks her way before she sat down.

The chair beside her was quickly occupied by Rue, who looked at her with obvious happiness. Arabella only shied away from her eyes, biting her lip nervously and looking down at her fingers that she tugged at.

"Okay, I'm so sorry but you are literally so gorgeous." Rue began to say. "I know Apollo said to take it easy and all because you're shy, but girl, you are a literal gem."

Her blush only darkened.

"T-Thank y-you, urm..." Her mind went blank and she looked back down at her fingers.

Although the woman was clearly nice, Arabella couldn't help but find it difficult to socialise.

"Sorry, I can tell I'm overwhelming you."

"N-No, no it's o-okay." Arabella quickly replied. "You h-have a beautiful h-home."

"Thank you, Apollo actually had it done for us. And talking about Apollo, he is all over you girl."

A giggle left the girl's lips at Rue's tone. And as they continued to speak, she quickly warmed up to her and found it easier to talk.

"Dinner is served." Ricardo came in with a plate in each hand.

"Thank you hun." Rue said as the plates were set down in front of the two ladies.

Apollo then came in as Ricardo left, placing down two plates himself. Arabella couldn't help but bite her lip and block out Rue's voice as her man looked at her with a soft smile and left with another wink.

A whistle broke her out of thoughts and she turned to the woman beside her.

"Damn, I see you two." Ricardo's wife teased.

"Be quiet, he's just happy." Arabella giggled.

"Well yeah, he's got you as a girlfriend. And he wants to eat you up girl." They both laughed at her words.

Their laughter only got louder as Rue continued to talk, and when the two men returned Apollo couldn't help but grin at the way Arabella seemed so care-free. Her eyes twinkled with joy as she clutched her stomach as giggles left her lips helplessly. The girl only laughed harder when Rue snorted and made the table jolt with a kick of her knee.

"Seems like they're getting along just fine." Ricardo chuckled as he also looked at the two women.
