Friday is finally here!

I look at myself in the mirror. My blonde hair is loosely curled, my bangs curled and pinned back like an old '80s hairdo. My earrings just barely noticeable. My fishnet tights laying perfectly on my legs. My heels fitting perfectly on my feet. Thankfully I am used to wearing them, so I can walk for a long distance in them before my feet get sore.

Finally I look at my dress.

I move to my full length mirror. I smooth down the blood-red dress that I'm wearing. Strapless, mid-thigh, comfortable... It was perfect. Hopefully not too perfect.

Was this too much for a movie date?

Probably.

I look at my phone. 5:30. Just enough time for me to get to his house.

Grabbing my keys, wallet, phone, and purse, I lock my door and begin walking. I'm glad that we chose to walk. It gives me time to clear my head and breath.

The work load I've been taking with school has taken a toll on me, so I really needed this date night.

I arrive at the mansion. Looking up at the house I take in a breath. It is beautiful, but too big for my taste. I start walking again. When I arrive at the front door, I check the time again.

5:50.

Wow, I made good time.

Carefully I knock on the door.

When it opens, I'm met with a young girl. She has on a long tshirt and her hair is in a messy ponytail. She must be about six or seven years old.

"Uh, hi," I say as I push a piece of hair behind my ear. "I'm looking for Elijah?"

The young girl nods as ushers me inside. "He's coming."

"Hope," someone says as I slip inside, "who's at the door?"

I look around the room. The older home actually remind me of my childhood home, except a lot fancier. My eyes fall on a handsome man that enters the room. When the man fully comes around the corner, I nod to him. "Hi. I'm looking for Elijah?"

The man walks very closely to me before moving the young girl behind him. "And why is that, may I ask?"

His eyes glare into mine as he comes closer to me. Obviously he is trying to intimidate me.

I roll my eyes. I do not need this right now. "This may be rude and all, but if you're trying to be all tough, knock it off. Elijah and I are supposed to be going on a date tonight. I told him I would be coming here."

The man tilts his head. I swear I could see his eyes flash yellow. Odd. I would have thought they would flash red.

"Niklous," I hear a voice I recognise say, "leave her alone."

The man, Niklous, puts his arm around me, almost knocking me off of me heels. "But brother, I was just talking. I wanted to get to know your friend!" He runs a finger down my bare arm. "Doesn't she look stunning in this dress?

"Hands off." I jab my elbow in his side. I find my footing again.

I must have startled him because he stepped back.

Good. That'll teach him to touch me again.

Elijah tries not to smile as he passes his brother. "Don't wait for me Niklous. I think I might enjoy my time tonight." He extends his arm to me. "Shall we?"

With a smile I take his arm. "We shall." I call behind me. "Good night!"

We stroll down the street.

"I do apologize for my brother." Elijah sighs as he watches our surrounding. "Sadly he is always like that."

I chuckle as I look around us as well. "Oh, that's ok. He's just a pain. That's what most brothers are."

"He was right about one thing, though." Elijah whispers as he pulls me to a stop. I tilt my head.

What was he right about?

Suddenly I feel a brick wall against my back and Elijah's body pressed against me. His cologne makes my head spin. The proximity alone makes my breath catch in my throat.

"You look stunning," Elijah growls as he places a surprisingly soft kiss on my cheek.

I feel a blush crawl onto my face. "You don't look so bad yourself," I squeak.

He is wearing basically what he wore when we first met, but this suit is the whole shebang and doesn't have a coffee stain on it.

Just when I think he is going to kiss me, Elijah pulls away.

I try not to look upset. Little jerk.

"Let's go get something to eat," he smiles as we move away from the wall.

Yeah… cause food is what I'm thinking about right now...
