Scarlett POV
"Damn" Johnny says, I frown at him for this, watching for any lies in his eyes, his or Deke or Max,
"Well don't just stand there, give me a mirror" I say, looking at them anxious, they nod and fetch a full-length mirror, and I don't think my eyes have widened like this before.
The woman in the mirror is very different, black leather leggings with black leather high heel buckle boots that are up to her ankles. With a white elbow length sleeved blouse that is longer at the back but shorter at the front with black hip length leather jacket. Her vibrant green hair slightly curled hanging loose to her elbows in length. Lilac eye shadow with black eye liner and mascara.
"Holy shit, you made a woman out of me" I say, they burst out laughing which makes me smirk, I must admit they did damn good.
"I think your ready love" Johnny says, I nod in agreement taking my purse from my desk and then making my way down the stairs,
"We also got you a little present" Max says meeting with me and Johnny at the bottom of the stairs into the nightclub that will be opening soon. I look to them both curiously as they lead me outside, what lays in front of me has my eyes almost bulging.
Parked at the pavement is a BMW I8 coloured a beautiful white with borders coloured a light blue and black, I love it!
I don't realise it's me before I hear my own squeal, clapping and jumping up and down like a lunatic,
"I love it! I love it! I love it!" I shout, stepping over towards it and looking inside, loving the green interior!
"Mr J had it bullet proofed and had some modifications done on it for you" Johnny says, I smile at this, protective older brother.
"Guys this is so not a LITTLE present, but I love it so much I can't deny it!" I say, smiling happily at them, pulling them into a hug each,
"We're glad you love it Angel" Max says, I nod at this,
"You better get going before your late for your date" Johnny says, I nod in agreement, using all my strength to peel my eyes off my new baby and after being handed the keys which I found had a keyring with angel wings on it, I step inside the car and close the door behind me, turning the engine on and absolutely thrilled with the sound of it, putting it into gear I drive away, making my way to the restaurant that Floyd texted me with the address.
"You scratch this, you'll get more than a scratch across your neck. Understand?" I ask, after getting out my beautiful car, holding my keys out to the valet, the scared shitless look he has makes me feel reassured that nothing will happen to my baby. He nods in agreement and takes the keys before getting into the car. I have to refrain from throwing him out, not liking the look of someone else in her.
I look before me to the place, look nice, not too posh but must be good for them to have valets, I walk inside taking in all details around me, now standing before a server at a tall desk,
"I'm meeting a Mr Lawton" I say to the woman, she nods before looking at her computer,
"You're at table twenty Miss, please let me show you to your table" she says, I nod at this slightly, she must think I'm an idiot to not be able to find a table.
"Mr Lawton, your date has arrived" she says after we approach a table where we find Floyd sat, when he sees us he stands smiling at me,
"Good Evening" he says, I smile at him for this, he then goes to the other chair and pulls it back, ok I remember this, Max said that gentlemen did this so that women can sit and they push them to the table, I still don't understand why, but I suppose it's something to do with manners.
I sit down on the chair and feel him push me forward to the table, I share a smile with him for this as he sits back in his seat,
"Can I take your drink orders?" the woman asks, I look to Floyd at this, I know what I normally ask but maybe that's more for bars?
"I'll have a cider" Floyd says, I smile at this in relief, seeing him wink at me, I smile widely at this, believing him to have ordered his drink for my benefit,
"An amoretto and coke please" I say, I cannot believe I just said please, but I swear I feel so out of place here.
"Are you ok?" he asks, I look to him at this surprised, wondering if he maybe has seen my expression, do I look scared? Terrified? Because believe me I am!
"Umm, yeah – yeah I'm ok…" I say, looking from him to around the eating area we are in trying to calm down, this place is so not where I would choose myself.
"Are you sure? You look like your expecting to be attacked?" he says, I look to him at this, I cringe at myself, am I really that obvious? Should I tell him?
"Well…ok look, this is going to sound really stupid, but…this is actually my first time – on a date" I say, pretty sure that I mumbled a bit, but am surprised that anything came out at all considering my throat feels like there is a frog stuck in it.
I look to see his reaction, he looks surprised, is that a good thing?
"Wait a minute, you've never been out on a date? – ever?" he asks, looking at me with disbelief, what does he think that I lied?
"Yes, as embarrassing as it sounds for me – I have never been out on a date, nobody ever seemed interested in the weird girl" I say, looking at him angrily,
"Angel…calm down girl, I didn't mean no offence – seriously I wouldn't dare, I'm just surprised, I mean you are a beautiful woman, I can't see how you have had no dates before, I mean look at you" he says, I look down in embarrassment, pretty sure that my cheeks are on fire right now, I'm not used to being given compliments,
"This is all new to me, I mean when Johnny told me about the things people do on dates – I really didn't get it, I mean….well to be honest a lot of it confused me, I mean the stages, the small talk, the areas you don't talk about – things like that" I say, looking to him confused, but then breathing a sigh of relief when a waiter comes to our table with our drinks, thank god I am going to need this!
"Here are your drinks, mademoiselle and monsieur, and here are your menus, I will leave a while for you to decide" he says, I nod at this in understanding,
"Angel listen, don't worry about saying or doing anything wrong, trust me, just be yourself, that's all I am interested in. spending time and getting to know you better, and if we get along well and like each other further along the line, then we'll see where that takes us" he says, I look to him watching his expressions when he says this, but I can't see any deception or anything from him.
I release a breath I didn't realise I had been holding and nod in understanding, feeling myself relax, leaning back in my seat slightly and taking a sip of my drink,
"That's better, now I would highly recommend the pizza from here, it's to die for" he says, I smile at him for this, him returning it with his own, I nod at this, but still look at the menu to see what else is on the menu, but I only end up staring at it confused,
"Am I losing it or is this in a different language?" I ask, looking to him confused, he looks to me from his own menu, I look to his own menu and see his is exactly the same, how is it he can understand it?
"Oh crap, sorry hun, I'm too used to this I didn't think to ask, if you can't read French then you won't be able to read the menu, but don't sweat I'll translate" he says, I nod slowly at this, ok so he can read French, that's interesting to know.
This will be an interesting evening
