Date Night

Ranae

          A knock at the door made me look at it, sighing. I knew it wasn't Anthony since he has his key and it definitely wasn't room service since they came earlier. I got up and silently placed the latch on the door. "Who is it?"

       "Delivery for a.... Ranae?"

Delivery? I didn't order anything.

      "Delivery from who?" I asked through the door.

      "Uhh...a Ghost ma'am." He says and I grew confused.

I opened the door and it was a white guy dressed in a suit and dress shoes. He held a box with gift bag on top and a small bouquet of my favorite flowers. He held it out to me to take, so I removed the latch and opened the door to grabbed it.

     "Umm...thank you." I say confused.

     "You're welcome. Have a good day." He says and walks away.

I closed and locked the door then walked to the bed. I set the stuff down and noticed a envelope inside the flowers. I opened it and pulled out a written letter by him.

Let me take yo pretty ass on a date.
Get dressed for me.
And don't call me to question it. Just do it.

Anthony.

I was smiled and blushed instantly, heat going straight to my cheeks as I reread the note over. I was definitely about to call him too but now I won't. I sat the note down and looked into the gift bag and pulled out a pretty light brown nude dress. I raised a brow, chuckling.

    "Aww this cute." I cooed examining it. I immediately looked at the size and smacked my teeth. "How the hell..." I say wondering how he even know what size I wear in clothes.

I sat the outfit down then grabbed the box and open it. I laughed while pulling out some nude colored spaghetti strap heels. They was cute as well.

    "Anthony, I don't know how to walk in heelsss." I whined, giggling. "Had to snooped through my stuff for my sizes cause I didn't tell you nothing." I say out loud.

Another knock at the door made me jump a bit and I sat the shoes down. "Who is it?"

     "Coco and Wilma. Ghost sent us." I hear them say.

     "Sent y'all to do what?" I asked, trying not to laugh.

     "Girl, he said you paranoid. We came to do your glam." One of them said and I chuckled.

I opened the door and both of them was dark skinned. One of them was a petite shape and the other one was slim thick. They was dressed in fitted pajamas and timberland boots.

      "Hi." I greeted them as I allowed them to walk in. They had back packs on as well.

    "Heyy. You pretty as fuck." One of them said. "I'm CoCo and this Wilma." She introduced herself and her friend.

    "Thank you. Y'all are too. Nice to meet y'all."

    "You too! So, let's get started." Coco sung, geeked.

:::::::::::::

     "Wow." Coco says fluffing out my hair. "You look mad good!" She said as Wilma whistled. "I did that."

    "Yass. Baby got body. Ghost gone faint." Wilma says laughing while putting away the make up.

    "He better." I say chuckling, examining myself in the mirror. "Y'all did great. I love it." I smiled in awe.

After they did my hair, I got ready and dressed. Coco helped me put my shoes on and I stood up. So now they was taking a few pictures for me. They hyped me up, making me laugh. They was cool people for sure.

I couldn't even play myself right now. I looked and felt good. I wanted so bad to call him but imma wait for whatever else he got planned.

As they was packing up, I sat and waited. "Thank you girls again." I say.

They smiled back at me as they put their back packs on their shoulder. "Of course boo." Coco say as she pulled out a envelope and held it out to me. "Enjoy the rest of ya day."

I took the envelope and they headed for the door, walking out. I couldn't stop smiling as I opened the envelope to another note.

Now that yo ass looking all beautiful and shit, take ya ass downstairs to the lobby.
And if any nigga hawkin, let me know. I got some for they ass.

Anthony.

I laughed, shaking my head as I stood up. I grabbed my phone, purse, white cardigan, and the key card. I headed for the door and walked out.

Walking to the elevator, I pressed the button and waited for it. The elevator came and I slowly stepped on it. I grew nervous as it went down each floor. I looked at my feet and thankfully my toes was already nicely down for these open toe shoes. But I was also praying I don't bus my ass.

The bell ringed and the door opened on the lobby floor and some people was waiting to get on. I walked pass them and slowly made my way to the exit.

I didn't even know what I'm supposed to do now that I'm down here. I had the urge to call him but he said not to. So I waited patiently for something or someone.

Looking around, I noticed some people was staring at me and my anxiety was through the roof. I did a double take as a black hummer limo with n blue LED lights under it pulled up to the curve.

My heart was pounding in my chest. I was waiting to see if this was Anthony was coming out but he wasn't. A Caucasian male dressed in a black suit with a hat on hopped out. He came to the back passenger door and opened it.

     "Miss Ranae?" He asked smiling brightly and I nodded. "Mr. Ghost is waiting for you."

My cheeks heats up and I slowly made my way to the car, trying not to fall on my ass. I hopped in and he closed the car door.

I was in complete awe at how nice this limo was. I've never been in one. It was so roomy and pretty.

Sitting in, slow jams was playing giving the atmosphere a comfortable feeling. I was hoping Anthony was in here but he wasn't. I wanted to see him badly. But I also wanted to know where I'm being taken.

I scooted to the slide window, opening it. "Hey, where are we going?"

"I'm not allowed to say miss. Sorry."

I sucked my teeth. I scooted back to where I was and sat back. There was bottles of Ace and bel airs wines and different juices and pops. There was snacks as well. I noticed a note sitting against one of the bottles so I quickly grabbed it to read it.

I can't wait to see you beautiful.

Anthony.

I giggled, blushing harder then before. He doesn't know how much I couldn't wait to see him either. We haven't talked since this morning and he's been gone all day. So all day he's been planning this. Butterflies hit my stomach, feeling like the luckiest girl.

The limo came to a stop and I scooted to the door and looked out the tinted windows. My heart was doing jumping jacks as I saw him walking towards the limo.

He opened my door and held his hand out for me to take. I grabbed it and stepped out. "Sup mamas."

   "Hey." I blushed. He pulled me into him by my waist and hugged me.

     "Damn." He mumbled. "Woo! You looked how I imagined." Pulling away from me, he kissed the back of my hand. "You look gorgeous mamas."

     "Thank you." I blushed hard. "You do too." I complimented.

He was dressed completely different from what he had on this morning. He was in a black button up dress shirt with a dark velvet maroon blazer that had a patterns on it, black slacks and black dress shoes. He was freshly lined up as well, looking so good.

"So, what are we doing here?" I asked, looking at the building behind us.

"C'mon." He says.

I was extremely nervous as we walked hand in hand into the building. The inside was like a hotel but wasn't. It was so pretty in here. Very modern but ....

I glanced up at Anthony and he was staring straight ahead, still leading me to wherever. His handsomeness makes me blush every time. I couldn't get over how handsome he looked. He was smelling nice, dressed more formal then normal and it was so attractive to me.

I looked away before he caught me staring. We got on an elevator and I see him pull out a scarf.

"Noo." I whined, chuckling. "I wanna see."

"You'll see when I take it off." He says tying the scarf not too tight on my eyes since I had lashes on.

I playfully smacked my lips, holding onto him tighter since I couldn't see. I begin to hear some jazz music as he lead me to our destination.

"It's two steps ma." He warns me.

Slowly and carefully climbing both steps, we continued walking a little until we stopped. I felt him behind me and he holds my waist.

"Are we here?" I asked impatiently.

He begin untying my blindfold and I blinked rapidly, adjusting my eyes. I immediately blushed while in shock at the sight.

This sight was breathtaking. We were on the very top of the building. It was decorated with my favorite flowers; orchids and red roses. There was low lights and candles everywhere, giving such a comfy feeling.

A table was set up neatly near the balcony. It was decorated with table essentials and flowers with a bouquet of flowers and a wine bottle. Everything was so beautiful and perfect. The view of the city, the music and atmosphere. I've never experienced something like this.

I glanced up at him with blush filling my cheeks. My eyes watered a bit since I couldn't control my emotions right now.

   "Most of the time, we always togetha goin' out to eat or some. But I never took you onna real date." He say walking me to my seat. "Whatchu think?"

Sitting down nervously, I was still gushing at everything. Me coming to New York for the first time. Him and I here together, becoming closer then ever. Him surprising me with a date and going all out with it. Everything was perfect.

     "It's perfect." I smiled, looking at him as he sits beside me. His cologne swarming me, instantly making feel some type of way.

He smirked, nodding while grabbing a wine glass and the gold wine bottle, filling it half way and handing it to me.

     "Some slight." He says as he pour himself one.

     "Thank you." I say taking a sip. Surprisingly it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. "I'm nervous." I admitted.

    "Why?"

   "Because." I blushed hard, avoiding his intense stare.

   "Because what?"

   "I've never been on a date before." I say lowly.

   "Well a lot finna change for you ma."

I immediately smile, my cheeks hurting from how much I am. "How come?"

    "Cause I'm tryna move forward witchu. This is partially what this date is for. The rest is to treat you."

    "Move forward in what way?" I say, acting like i doesn't know.

A waiter came over catching our attention. "Good evening to you both. My name is Enzo and I'll be your waiter for tonight. Can I start you guys off with appetizers or something else to drink?" He asked as he placed two menu's in front of us.

    "Hi." I greeted while looking in the menu at everything. I only saw a few I knew of and that was some of the sides. I noticed the prices and raised a brow. "Gahdamn." I mumbled.

    "What's wrong ma?" He asked giving me a quick glance.

     "This shit high." I say chuckling then laughing a bit, noticed the waiter still here and hearing me. "I'm
sorry!"

     "Welcome to New York." The waiter laughs with me.

    "Get whatever you want." Anthony says. "Give us a few minutes." He says to the waiter and he nods, walking away.

     "I don't know." I say my laughter calming down. "What do you recommend?"

     "Iono. Never been hea before." He says looking over the menu still.

      "Ooh. Okay then, what looks appetizing to you?" I asked.

He gazed up at me with his brows knitted together slightly with a look I don't see on him normally. He nibbled on his bottom lip a bit, then smirked to himself, and looked back at the menu.

"A few things." He says simply.

"Like?" I chuckled and gestured for him to explain and he smirked smacked his lips.

"Get what looks good to you ma, I already see what I want."

I stared back at him for a few seconds and blush rushed to my cheeks. I was trying not to smile so hard. Focusing back on my menu, I decided on something new I've never tried before.

The silence between us was comfortable, thanks to the music playing. While waiting for the waiter to come, I decided to break the silence. I was curious about a few things I've heard so I wanted to talk to him about it.
