The past week went in a flash and I was finally heading home to get ready for the exposition. It finally dawned on me that Vincent was going to pick me up and go to dinner, to our first…. Date….
I don't know how to feel about it, the good thing is that I told him clearly that I don't see him that way and I guess we're taking things super slow.
What is it with me and mythical creatures, first vampires and then werewolves? Maybe my brain is built some different way that only mythical creatures understand me and me them…. *sigh*
I was finally ready and decided to go elegant and wear a dress.
The dress was all black and it was a one shoulder dress and it fell right above my knees, and it fit just perfect with my body (Alice would love that, and a picture is in my profile ) that thought made me wince a little and I just continued getting dressed. My hair was combed to the back and placed two little hair combs with encrusted diamonds, just simple. I had simple black pumps and my make up was light, just mascara and thin black eyeliner with pale pink lip-gloss. I've never liked to go over the top with things, nice and simple have always been my taste.
The door bell rang and I grabbed my hand purse and opened the door to see a striking Vincent. He was wearing a nice simple black tuxedo, perfect I thought.
He was just staring at me with his eyes and mouth open, literally. I started to feel a little self-conscious when he finally spoke.
"I'm sorry Isabella but I'm speechless, you look so beautiful. i…. just…. I'm sorry again but like I said, speechless. Um, here I brought you this…." And he handed me a beautiful bouquet of fresh red roses.
"Oh wow thank you very much. Let me get a vase and put them in water so we can go to dinner," I got the flowers and placed them on a vase and finally left with Vincent.
We got outside and I saw a new car. It was black and shiny and nice. I'm sorry but I've never been big on cars so I don't really know models and names, so for me it was just a really beautiful car. I stared at it and pointed at it and looked at Vincent and he just smiled and said…
"You thought I was going to pick you up in my truck? No of course not, I only use the truck for work. This car is for, well, um…." And he started to seem embarrassed until I realized….
"Oh, for dates and such…?" I said while smiling, that seemed to calm him down because I was joking.
"Um, not necessarily but just for regular errands or if I'm going to visit a friend outside of New York for gas mileage and such." He informed me.
"Well that makes sense. Shall we go then?" I said while getting inside the car.
We arrived at the restaurant and it was a beautiful steakhouse restaurant.
Vincent ordered a bottle of red wine and poured each one a glass.
Everything ran smoothly and he doesn't make me feel uncomfortable but I just have that thought in the back of my head: I know he wants more from me, but this is a nice slow start I guess. He complimented on my appearance and I him and just talked about small stuff and I told him I was nervous about the whole exhibition and he reassured me time and time and again that everything was going to run smoothly and he made me more at ease, well, him and the wine I guess, jejeje.
The dinner finally came to an end and it wasn't the disastrous thing that I thought was going to be so I was happy about that, now I started to get anxious again.
We got to the exhibition and people already started coming in. Vincent and I walked inside side by side and said hi to my boss and introduced each other.
I excused myself and started working the room and saying hi to people, answer questions and just do my job.
I was talking with Vincent again when I noticed the people in the room started turning and mostly the women gossiping with themselves.
"I guess J.W. is here." Abraham said chuckling.
People started to make room so he could pass and I saw someone I never thought I would, and he had a shocked expression on his face and stopped when he saw me and said in his beautiful voice…. "Bella?"
And I stood with my eyes open and mouth open when everything went black…
