Judal watched Aladdin get out of the car, talking to the driver a second before she turned around. She was wearing a dark purple dress. It was cut to showoff her curves well, fitted on top and cinched at the waist, flowing from her waist down, stopping at her mid-thigh. Her hair was down; he liked it. The heels she wore brought her up closer to his height and the gloss on her lips drew attention to them. She had dressed up for the occasion, how cute.

She didn't see him as she walked to the door, about to go inside when he slipped up beside her. He opened the door for her silently and she slipped inside. He had made a reservation for them, choosing a table in the back corner where they were less likely to be spotted.

"You got all dressed up for me, Chibi, I'm flattered."

"I got dressed up because this is a formal restaurant. You are dressed up too." She took a moment to absorb the black pants and white button up he was wearing, complete with a tie.

"I am indeed. Good to know you noticed. How was your day?"

"Good. Sinbad is mad though. Someone else was chosen for a modeling job he wanted me to do. I'm glad though; the clothes were too skimpy for my taste. I wouldn't have felt comfortable modeling them."

"Don't let the man-whore pressure you to do anything you don't want to. And don't listen to his pretty words. They don't mean anything. He is all talk."

Aladdin laughed. "You seem to have a strong opinion about him. Do you not like each other?"

"Not at all. He is a back-stabbing liar who likes to sleep around and screw with people's minds."

"If you don't like him then let's talk about something else. What did you do today?"

"Not much. I went back to that music store and bought the harp. I think I'm going to have it sent to my house in Northern California."

"You bought the harp? That's good; it was really beautiful when you played it. Will you play it for me again?"

"Maybe. We'll see what happens Chibi. I don't normally do private concerts, but I might make an exception if it is you."

She blushed, smiling a bit. "I, um, I was going to invite a friend of mine to have breakfast tomorrow morning at a café, Do you want to come? Actually, now that I think about it, the place is only a block away from your hotel."

"Oh, a second date already? You sure move fast."

"I didn't mean-"

"Fine. I'll be there. The one with the waffle on the sign right?"

"Yeah! They have the best hot chocolate ever. And the omelets are to die for."

"I see. And who is this friend of yours?"

"His name is Kouha. He actually works as an artist at Al Thamen, he used to be with Kou but since the two merged-"

"Kouha Ren?"

"Yeah. We go to breakfast together pretty often because we both normally have mornings off. Do you know him?"

"We worked together for a charity concert once. He was quite the flirt."

"He still is. He's the first one to tell me not to date Abercrombie models. He didn't approve of Sinbad's choice at all."

"Yeah, no, don't listen to Sinbad for possible dates."

"I don't plan on doing it again, believe me."

"So tell me, Chibi, how did you get into this business of ours?"

"Oh, well I used to do all kinds of things. I liked drawing and painting, I'm really good at lifelike things. I used to play music at some places nearby with my friends, Morgiana and Alibaba. It was really fun. And I acted in a few plays with a local theater group. It was a fluke, but Sinbad saw a musical I was in and insisted that I go to dinner with him, so I did. Ugo and I went and talked to him. Originally, my contract was as a group with Alibaba and Morgiana, as well as me being and multi-talent, but Alibaba and Morgiana's families didn't want them to get distracted from school so they didn't become part of the Label. And I haven't really done anything but sing yet, but I'll do it someday."

"So you used to be part of a band?"

"We weren't really a band, we just all liked music so we played together. Oh, I guess that sounds like a band huh? Well Alibaba and I have been friends for a really long time. His dad and my dad work together. We grew up together. He helps me out with school stuff sometimes, but we are learning about different things because dad made my education program based off of what I want to learn and Alibaba has to follow the school systems plan. We went out to dinner the other day. He has been really busy with school stuff and so we haven't seen each other very much recently. I really miss seeing him, but-" She got quieter towards the end, sensing Judal's mood change. He didn't look too happy right now. He interrupted her before she could continue on.

"Focus on me Chibi. I'm here. I don't want to here about how great your boyfriend is. I asked about you, not him."

Aladdin frowned. "He isn't my boyfriend. He is a boy and he is a friend, but we aren't dating or anything. We are like siblings, us dating would be really weird."

Judal seemed to get slightly less upset, but he was still suspicious. "I see. You like to draw?"

Aladdin was glad for the subject change. "Yeah, I used to take a bunch of art classes. The teachers always said I was really good at making things life-like. I haven't really practiced any art for a while though. Same with acting, I'm so busy I never really get the chance to do those things anymore."

"Hmmm. Chibi, stop moving the food around on your plate and actually eat it. It goes in your mouth, and then you chew. There you go."

"Stop, I'm not a little kid."

"I don't know, you look pretty little to me."

"Five three is not that short!"

"I'd give you five two, but not five three. Besides, I was referring to other things."

"Are you calling me flat chested?"

"No, I would be blind if I said that, I meant you are skinny as hell. I bet I could count your ribs."

"Yeah, well, that's what everybody wants. All the stupid producers and directors and Sinbad, they all want a freaking stick. It took me forever but I became a stupid stick for them. I want to be chosen to do things other then sing, but Sinbad turns around and offers me a job where I wear clothes that barely cover more then underwear and now I just regret all the working out and the not eating, but if I don't stay like this then all the stupid people are going to give me crap for gaining weight."

"So ignore them. Who cares what they think."

Aladdin sighed. "You say that because you are perfect." A second later she realized what she had said and turns bright red.

Judal just smiles at her, tilting his head slightly when he meets her eyes. Both of them finished eating, Judal giving the waiter his card before Aladdin could give him hers.

"You paid the last time we ate together. It's my turn."

"Since when does the girl pay for the date?"

"Since modern times when guys became jerks and forced them to or when the girl feels bad because the last time the guy paid for things when he wasn't supposed to."

Judal just shook his head and laughed. "You seem to be rather bitter about some of your experiences, Chibi."

Judal walked her to his car and drove her home. He walked her to her room just like last time. When she opened the door and turned to tell him goodnight, she took Kouha's advice from earlier and kissed Judal lightly on the cheek. His eyes widened a bit before he tilted her head up to his face and brushed his lips against hers. She was shocked. He had just stolen her first kiss on the lips!

"Goodnight Aladdin." He walked away before she could think of anything to say.

She stood in the doorway for a moment before walking into the apartment, kicking off her shoes and pulling out her phone to text Kouha.

Breakfast tomorrow. Judal is coming. 8AM.

I'll see you there. How was the date?

It was good. I kissed him on the cheek…And then he kissed me on the lips.

Aladdin! What kind of kiss was it?

Kouha! I'm going to bed. Get there early and I'll talk to you about it.

Then, to Judal.

Breakfast tomorrow 8AM.

And now Aladdin has had her first kiss. Coming up, Judal is going to meet Aladdin's friends over the next few chapters.
