The dinner date was cancelled.

After that incident in the club restrooms,I thought I was okay. I felt fine but that didn't last long. Something in me was over the thing like it didn't happen. The same 'something',was not over it. Had not yet processed it and when it finally did I felt like a wreak. A powerless wreak. Everything went on shut down and lucky for me it happened after work after I had taken a bath. I was pretty sure it had something to do with a bark,a deep scratch mark that ran on my thigh. From my mid thigh all the way close to my pussy but by friday it had healed. Leaving no trace of the horrifying night. I still couldn't believe that Sam would do that but her again he could have done worse. Like kidnapping and torturing me for all the shit that I did to him. It wad all his fault by the way.

I had not gone to work since that day up until Friday and even then Ana kept locked up and it was halloween for God sake. "Please. Pretty please." I said giving her the puppy dog eyes Nd still she turned me doing. I had gone through all that work for nothing just so I could look good for work but it turned out I wasn't. That the puppy dog eyes didn't work on her anymore. And that was not it. The funny part of all this was that at some point in that whole thing,she and Nick actually proposed that I visited a psychologist. I was not that thrilled about the idea but I went either way. All I had to do was take things a day at a time to get better and I did that's why I wanted to go to work and earn my own money. It was freaking boring at home. At first I had no one to talk to or be stupid with but then called Nick. Either way the guy was still going to come. He literally came everyday and left late at night. And that was because I pushed him too or his girlfriend would kill him. The girl was crazy,she kept calling every passing five minutes and that was way Nick kept his phone on silent mode for most of the time.

I sat on the couch,island and did anything that I thought could possibly cure my case of boredom. I even washed the dishes by hand.like imagine washing the dishes just to cure your boredom,it was crazy. I was seating in my room reading a book when the door bell rang. It was about quarter past nine at the time. I went to the door to find Nick dressed in relaxed blue jeans,a long sleeve shirt that clung to him for dear life and a pair on sneakers. Vince who stook at the car smiled at me and I returned the smile.

"What do you wanna do today?" I asked him putting the book I was reading,which was about a girl that had fallen for a mob king or something like that,on the counter. "Want something?" I asked going to the coffee machine. "No,I'm good." He sat o one of the bar stools.

"Oh"

I returned to sit next to him facing the TV that was currently turned off. "So..." I said nervously,rubbing my hand on the white jeans I was wearing. "What do you wanna do for today?" I asked reaching for the remote that was on the table,sat on a pile of books by me. "Am open for anything of your choosing. " He said looking at me and I at him. Our eyes locked and the only thing I could think about was how beautiful and enchanting they were. About how much I wanted to kiss him and make love to him. About how amazingly attractive and sexy he was. About how much I had fallen inlove with him but not because of his obviously watering body but because of his personality. The cold shoulder that he sometimes gave me and him on general. They was nothing to not love about the guy. I broke the contact. It was making me want things and I had the sudden urge to touch him. I didn't want to make it awkward again like the day prior.

We had locked eyes just like all the times he was around or close. We stared into each others eyes for what felt like seconds and then I just had to lean in and kiss him. His lips were soft and the kiss was rough and full of unsaid words between us. I wanted more,more of the kiss and his lips but mostly of him. They felt good again mine. He bit my lower lip and I gasped allowing his entrance. His touch devoured my mouth and I didn't even put up a fight. It was good to have him in control like that. I was gasping for air and so was he after the kiss and the worst thing was i wanted to do it again and that it was unexpected. I was the one that had initiated the first move,initiated the whole kiss in the first place and I had never that.

I turned on the TV and scrolled through all the channels,anything that had been playing but none seemed interesting enough to watch. "How about a movie?" I said awkwardly shifting away from him while inside I wanted to be as close to him as possible. "That would be fine." He said with a smirk on his face and got up. I did the same and walked to the movie room with him closely behind. "I hope it's not a romance movie." He whined and I laughed slightly. "I take you're much of a romatic?" I said making a conversation. "Yes,romance just ain't for me. I don't see why people allow themselves to get hurt and let shit like that happen to them and all in the name of LOVE." I felt myself get disappointed. I was not gonna make him watch a romance movie with me but i wanted him to at least say he would be open to the idea of love.

"Oh." I said in a small voice.

"But I would do it." He whispered in my ear,sending a shiver down my spine and making me shutter inside. I would swear my heart skipped a beat and butterflies came alive.

I wonder if they felt humans in their stomach.

"Try What?" My voice barely audible. "Falling in love,with you." I felt my heart race and beat so hard I thought it was about to break free. His hot breath against my skin,his cologne. Yeah I was a goner. "Um...cough...We have...cough...arrived." I said walking faster and opened the door to let him in. The doors revealed a not that large movie room,with black carpeting and black eight leather chairs with cup holders and seat warmers. The walls were also dark well almost everything in the room was dark the only thing light was the white screen straight ahead.

The thing that he said earlier frequently played in my mind through the movie--movies. We had sat through Pirates of the Caribbean 4 and 5 since last time I had not got to watch them. I already knew them,watched then about ten or more times but it always felt like the first to me. He had went out a number of times to make and refill the snacks while I sat there on a chair with a chair between us,thinking about what he had said. I didn't even watch,Dead Men Tell No Tales,properly because he had moved to a chair close to mine.

"What do you want to do after this?" He suddenly asked making me jump due to how deep in thought I was. "What?" I asked as I had not heard and he smiled sending in thought again. His smile was so beautiful,his teeth were so white and perfect and the canines were prominent and so sharp.

Sharp? Way are they so sharp. I have never seen a human with such sharp canines.

They looked like they belonged to a carnivore. They were so pointy but they looked good with the rest.

"Your teeth,they are beautiful and sharp." I blurted out still locking at them. I wondered how it was that I was only noticing it then but not earlier. He had smiled at me so many times but I guess I had never paid enough attention to notice. He abruptly closet his lips and was left staring at his juicy lips,which I had to resist the urge of kissing.

"What do you want to do after this?" He repeated what he said earlier. I thought for a while. "I don't really know. I thought we would just watch movies all day." I said truthfully. The movie had just ended. It was at that part were they showed many names that people didn't care about. "How about going out for ice cream?" He suggested. I smiled at him. "Yeah,that sounds great." I said with a huge smile on my face. It had been a while since I had went out mostly because I didn't want to. We went out of the movie room to my bedroom.

"How does this one look?" I said getting out of the closet wearing a red knee high strapless dress. "It looks beautiful on you." He said with lustfull eyes. "Are you sure? No,I go and change." I returned back into the walk in closet to change. I had changed into about more than twenty outfits and every time I came out his eyes would look more lustfull than they did on the last one. I finally came to a decision of wearing a high waisted dress that reached just below the mid thigh and allowed free movement with a shirt and a coat. I went with some flats for the shoes. "We can go now."

He was seating on one of the arm chairs with a book in his hands and a mischievous smile on his face. He stood up and followed me out of the bedroom into the kitchen. "Your hair?" He asked running his hand through it. Right,I had forgotten about it. I right it into a high but lose bun.

We went to pinkberry and I had ordered plain vanilla ice cream while he had mint. "Is it good?" I asked with curiosity. I had refused all of Anastasia's attempts to try and make me change my flavours. Vanilla was the best and I loved it just like that. Even my yogurt flavour was vanilla. "Yeah,wanna try it?" He said pushing his half empty cup to me. I wanted to have it in medium cups so since I was the one that volunteered to order,he also had his in a medium cup and was enjoying it. I reached for it and took two spoonfuls. It was so good. "Wanna swap?" I said the fourth spoonful. It was not even a question,I had already pushed my cup to him. He laughed to himself and took it and started eating. "This is soo good." I moaned as it melted on my tongue. He looked at me in disbelieve. " No judgement." I stopped him before he could say anything. "So is this one." He said taking a spoonful while still looking at me.

It felt like one of those moment where an ordinary couple would go for ice cream. Like we were an ordinary couple.

Couple.

Damn that word caused butterflies in my stomach.

"How about coffee later on?" He said looking at me in bewilderment as I marvelled in the taste of the ice cream and how it melted when it reached my tongue. It reminded me of when I was a kid and had ice cream for the first time. It was chocolate flavored. I didn't like it very much so I asked my mother for a different flavour and that's when I got introduced to vanilla. It was by far the best. It was cold but yet sweet and when it melted on my tongue,I would have sworn I had reached heaven.

"You like it that much?" He said out of the blue,cutting me from my chain of thoughts. "I'll be glad to tell you that I have a second favourite." I said smiling at him then the cup infront of me. It was the perfect moment and the sun had began to set. It was twilight. "Were you asking me out on a date?" I asked him with after swallowing the ice that was in my mouth. "If I was would it be a Yes?" I was jumping with joy inside. It was finally happening,I was going on an official date with Nick. "Yes." I said blushing.

"Nick,How are you...?" Said a voice from the door. I looked to the source and Lord I wish I didn't or at least that the girl was not somehow associated with Nick cause I was already beginning to get jealous. The girl had pale skin with the body of a...an hour glass body. She had on a figure hugging off the shoulder dress with black stilettos.

God please don't let her come here. Let it be that she's talking about another guy just not my Nick.

My prayers were in vain,maybe they came too late cause the girl walked our way with the perfect stride and perfect hair. It was red by the way and also curly and she had the top part of it in a bun. She looked she had walked out out a magazine.

She acknowledged Nick and did not even spare me a glance. "Diana meet Scarlett. Scarlett,Diana." He said with an annoyed face. I didn't get It,the girl standing before was every thing. Beautiful,very beautiful,glowing skin and that body that make me self conscious. She looked at me with a pained smile,like it hurt her to do so. I returned it with the same one.

"I hope I'm not interrupting something." She said pulling a chair from a near by table. "No you-" He cut me off. "You are,So leave." He said in the coldest voice. I was going to tell the guy 'No,of course not. You are not interrupting anything. Actually you can join us if you would like'. That was what I was going to say had Nick not cut me off. The girl whimpered a little and left without another word leaving the chair. The coldness he directed at her sent a shiver down my spine.

"Um...who was She?" I asked after clearing my throat out for nothing a number of times. "She was no one important." He said a monotone. If it were up to him,the girl would die and he couldn't care less,well that's what his face told me. If it were up to him she would try and flirt with him and he would still not give a damn about it. He had changed. His voice was changed from the softness and tenderness and love he had been talking to me with in the last couple of hours to one I couldn't quite place but it was cold that was for sure.

"Ok..." I said unconvinced and also pulling the 'O' in 'ok'. "How about going to the park before going for the coffee?" I said cutting the thick and not so comfortable silence that fell between us. It was just a suggestion one he could change if he didn't like it. Deep down,like down,down in my gut,I wanted to pop in at the hospital and see what was going on. I missed the place but mostly my patients. "You sure about that? We could go to the hospital if you want." He said as he straightened his back.

How the hell did he hear that?

He laughed and finished the remains of his ice cream and I also did the same. Eating the rest of what was left of the ice cream. "No. The park is fine." I said as we walked to the door and out. The scenery was romantic. The sun set and the park lights. It somehow looked like a movie scene. They were not that many people around,just a number of couples that walked by and some that enjoyed the scenery with us. We sat on one of the benches that faced the west, with my back pressed against Nick's chest as it rises up and down every time he breathed. My head was on his hard chest as he kept running his hands through my hair.

"I want to do this with you every day." I blurted out and quickly covered my mouth with my hands as I moved away from the comfort and warmth of his chest. He chuckled. "Are you sure?" He said pulling me to his chest as I had moved away. He always did that,question my decisions every chance he got and it annoyed me sometimes when it helped on others cause I got a chance to scrutinize the decision.

It was those little things in life that made life worth living and it was those small contacts,skin or not,that made me want him more. That made fall more and more inlove with him. Even the shortest contact,a graze of a finger on my skin,I got excited like a little kid promised a cookie.

I had forgotten that winter was right around the corner. Who forgets that and that explained the sometimes cold nights.

"Yes." I said with determination in my voice and tried to turn to face him but he kept me in place. "And you?" I said a little hopeful for someone that had sworn off love. He nodded into my hair and inhaled it's scent sharply.

"I think it's now time to go and get that coffee." I said getting up and targeting doing that due to the lost contact. I was getting addicted to the guy. He also stood up and took my hand in his as we walked to the nearest cafè. If felt like we were a couple,an old couple at that. "How do you like your coffee?" I asked swinging my legs from the sides. Walking more or less like a penguin but not with my hands on my sides. "With cream." He said simply. "And You?" I looked at him,stopping for a moment then continued on my mission. "Black with no sugar but I sometimes drink it with sugar and some cream." I said walking properly and focusing on the road. "I guess that's also how you like your men." I gave him a look. "Not really. I like them anyway they come but now I wanna like you...I mean...um"

What a pickle.

He chuckled as my cheeks turned a tinge of pink. "Yeah..." He said unconvinced. He was playing with me. "We have arrived. " I said a little too excited. He looked down at me then at the small cafè that was straight ahead. We only had to cross a two way street to get there. "So it seems." He said in an amused voice. I looked ahead not daring to look at him.

The place was packed with people but somehow we managed to get a table by the window. I had ordered my coffee with cream and he got his the way he said he liked it,With sugar and cream. I looked out at the sky. The moon was not full but it still looked magnificent up there together with the stars. The town was filled with people and Halloween decorations. I even spotted those with costumes. Come to think of it a lot were dressed up.

"Hey,what are you gonna wear tonight?" I suddenly asked making him almost jump from his chair. He gave me a confused look. "For Halloween?" I said shrugging my shoulders. "Nothing." I looked at him with a shocked face. I did kind of think he was not the Halloween type of guy but I didn't think it was actually true. "You would much rather I wore something?" He said,a smirk playing on his gorgeous face. Something about what he said and the way he said it made me excited and I could myself replying "Yes." With a very enthusiastic nod. He laughed. He had doing a lot of that during our time this week.

"I will." He said raising his cup to drink and I also did the same and looked out. "I would really like to see your face. It gives me a clue of what your thinking." He said after a long silence fell on us. I had looking out,actually I was just staring into space and thinking about how it came that he got into my life.

I exhaled sharply and took a long moment to look at his face. Memorizing every curve of it,including his long lashes,straight nose and plum soft lips. Damn he was a good kisser and don't get me started on how he held me the last time we kissed.

"Really?" I said cocking a brow while spinning the cup that was once full of creamy coffee but currently less than a quarter finished.
