Chapter 1 Hi, my Name is...

"What about this one? It brings out your eyes, Bon." Caroline asks as she holds up a black dress with a pair of white heels. Bonnie shakes her head. "Care, it's a blind date not a strip club." She goes back to looking at her magazine. "Well what are you looking for Bonnie? Give us a hint." Elena says as she takes the magazine out of her hands. Bonnie sighs. "Something, modest, with something tight, but not too tight I don't want to come off as desperate. Semi-short with no sleeves. Now can I have my magazine back?" Elena nods handing it back to her, then takes Caroline's arm to go find the perfect dress.

About twenty minutes later Elena and Caroline come back with their arms full of dresses. They show them off. "No, no, no, no, definitely not Caroline! Wait that's it." She takes the one that Elena was currently holding and goes to the mirror. A mint floral mesh mock neck lace sleeveless open back. Bonnie beams. "This is the one. Thanks Elena, I have the shoes that will go great with this dress." She hugs both of her friends before leaving the mall in her grey 2006 mustang convertible.

When she gets to her studio apartment she hangs the dress up before she gets her nude close toed heels. She looks at the clock. Three hours before showtime? She grabs her towel, and takes a bath lathering her dark skin with lavender and vanilla scents. She sighs laying back for a few minutes before getting out she shaves her underarms and legs then she applies lotion. Bonnie re-straightens a few strands of her long black hair when she satisfied she puts on a small amount of natural make-up.

She looks at the clock. With 20 minutes to spare I should get going. She grabs her keys and purse locking her apartment then leaves. She heads to the location and parking across the street she walks over to the venue and opens the door. "Hello, I'm Justin the Host, your name please?" He asks when she walks to his table. "Bonnie Bennett." Justin nods typing it in then hands her a number. "Keep that with you, it's your key to finding your match." Bonnie giggles at how cheesy that line was.

She takes her card with her number and takes a seat at the bar ,"I'll take a Bourbon neat." The bartender looks at her. "Sorry Miss, were all out of Bourbon." Bonnie hides her disappointment. "Then I'll have a Dry vodka martini." The bartender nods and goes to make her drink. Bonnie sighs. When the bartender returns he places her drink in front of her. She opens her purse, but the bartender puts up a hand to stop her. "Drinks are free for everyone tonight, enjoy." She nods and takes her drink.

"Can I get everyones attention please?" Bonnie looks to the entrance and sees Justin standing on a chair with a mic. "Alright, thank you all for coming tonight, also for giving yourselves another opportunity to find happiness. Now you all have a card with a number on it. Go around the room until you find someone else with the exact number as you. Enjoy the rest of your time here free drinks at the bar." He gets off the chair. Bonnie looks at the number in her hand then starts her search.

Looking for someone with the number 30, please don't let him be a jerk I can't deal with that again. Bonnie is not paying attention as she walks into a firm solid body. "I'm so sorry." She says. The tall man smiles down at her. "No need to apologize, love." He said with a British accent. "Mind if I see your number?" He asks. Bonnie not trusting her mouth holds up her number. "Well it seems I found my match." Bonnie blushes slightly. He leads her over to an empty table. He introduces himself.

"I'm Lorenzo St. John." He extends his hand to her. "Bonnie Bennett." They shake hands. "Wait weren't you a model?" Bonnie smiles and nods. "I was, but that was only so I could pay for my apartment." Lorenzo nods. "I see so what is it you do for a living and how old are you?" Bonnie waves her hand. "It's fine I'm 23 years old and I currently work as a dance teacher and I love it. What about you?" Lorenzo smiles. "I'm 26 years old I'm a lawyer with a two year old daughter named Ashley." Bonnie looks at him eyebrow braised.

"Oh, my wife Maggie died of a heart attack a year ago." Bonnie mentally kicks herself for jumping to conclusions. "I'm not going to say 'Sorry ' because that's what everyone says, but I do think it's heartbreaking." Lorenzo nods his head. Bonnie gets a better look at him. His hazel eyes, olive skin with a strong jaw, and muscular shoulders. "So tell me Bonnie do you like kids?" Bonnie smiles. "Of course." Lorenzo's smile widens a bit. He takes his phone out.

"This is my Ashley." He hands her his phone. "She's beautiful." Bonnie says as she looks at the photo she has dark brown skin with hazel eyes like her dad and dimples. She gives him his phone back. "Thank you. So do you have any hobbies?" Bonnie nods. "I love going on hikes and volunteering at both animal and homeless shelters." Lorenzo looks at her impressed. "What are your hobbies?" He puts his phone away. "I enjoy outdoor activities, reading when I'm not working." Bonnie smiles. Brains and Brawn I like it! And that accent oh, he's too much!

They go to the bar and get another round of drinks. "So where you born here?" Bonnie asks after she takes a sip of her martini. "No, I was born in London, but I moved here to because I was looking for some excitement in my life. And though I miss my home, England was getting old rather fast." Bonnie nods. "So tell me Bonnie are you a local?" Lorenzo asks as he sips his drink. "No, I wasn't born here I'm originally from Phoenix, Arizona, but I left because I wanted a change of scenery." Lorenzo nods.

They stay a few hours longer then they leave. Lorenzo walks Bonnie to her car. "I had a really nice time, talking to you Lorenzo." He smirks for the first time tonight. "Please can me Enzo." She nods they exchange numbers. "I enjoyed spending the night talking to you, Bonnie. Maybe we can meet up and do this again?" Bonnie smiles she hugs him. "That would be great." When she release him he leans down and kisses her cheek. "Bye, Enzo have goodnight." He smiles. "Goodnight Bonnie." With that he leaves heading to his car.

The drive back to her apartment is quiet, once she arrives she notices Elena's car in her other parking spot. She sighs getting out of her car and heading inside. She sees both Caroline and Elena holds a bottle of champagne. Wait for it.

"Tell us everything." They both say at the same time. Bonnie rolls her eyes. Guess I won't be going to sleep anytime soon. She kicks off her heels.
