After both Santino and Maria had gotten showers and changed into more appropriate clothing, Santino walked down the hallway towards Maria's locker room. As he approached the door, he inhaled to smell the sweetest smell ever. Upon his face grew a handsome grin as he gently knocked on the diva's door. Maria opened the door and the Italian's jaw dropped at the beauty before him. "Maria! You look amazing!" She was wearing a red dress that came up to her knees, her hair curled and done up. Maria giggled and saw what he was wearing-A handsome black suit, with a black tie. He offered his hand to her and she took it, as he lead the way to the limo he had waiting outside for them, he hoped it wasn't too much. He knew Maria only deserved the best. Maria thought to herself,This is amazing, She couldn't believe that her best friend had a limo for them to ride in. The limo driver opened the door for them. Santino looked at Maria and smiled. "Ladies First." He's such a gentleman, Maria thought as she entered the limo, Santino following after her. "Thank you Santino." Maria said after the driver had shut the door. "Oh Maria, don't thank me. You deserve the best." Santino had said, looking deep into her clear green eyes. He gently took her right hand and kissed in gently. The diva bit her lip softly, with a smile on her face.
As they arrived at the resturant, the driver once again opened the limo door, Santino sliding out. As he stepped out, he put his hand in for Maria to take it. She grasped his hand and stepped out of the limo with a shy smile upon her face. On his face, a sweet smile over came it. He was so happy that he could share this night with, in his opinion, the most beautiful woman ever. Maria looked deep into his eyes, and thought to herself, I love you, I wish I could tell you. Santino looked back into her eyes and was lost in deep thought. He shook his head and smiled at her. "Let's go Maria, your going to love it here." Maria laced her fingers with his and she started walking with him towards the resturant. Santino softly rubbed her fingers with his own as the reached the entrance. Maria's eyes lit up, as did Santino's. They both knew this night would be wonderful.
