Chapter 3: First Impression
"Okay...let's see here...no...not there...ugh, too fat..." Anne Maria muttered as she looked around the closet looking for a nice dress to impress Lightning on their date. So far, anything from pants to glittery leather pants felt like such a turn off. This went on for at least 20 minutes.
"Ahh...perfect. The best outfit..." she smiled greatly as she brought out a sparkling purple mini dress. It was the very same dress that she made herself in Home Economics class back when she was in high school. And to complete the attire, she brought out a white minx coat. It just purred on her so right. And those blackish-purple boots just felt so warm and comfortable like a calm fire.
And after she put them on...she looked right at the mirror head-on. It was like the whole mirror was one huge camera. Anne Maria's image just said "meeeeeow" right at her. She just looked so stunning.
"Lightning...get ready to meet your maker..." she smiled to herself in the mirror like he was talking to the jock himself. She soon took her fancy purple purse and soon headed out for the door. And after she locked the door behind her...
...she turned around and saw Lightning and his hemi-powered truck standing on her driveway. She was a little spooked to say the least.
"Ohhh! Geez...you frightened me..." she spoke in a shy tone. Lightning let out a little chuckle.
"I didn't mean to scare you so bad. Girls I've dated get that same expression too. Hop in." he replied as Anne Maria hopped inside Lightning's truck. The way those leather seats felt so rugged and so soft to the breathtaking Jersey girl.
"So Lightning, what do you think of me?" she said right to Lightning. He just couldn't believe her appearance. Those brilliant purple eye shadow that complimented her everlasting black eyes. Those heart-stopping cherry vanilla lips that she put on to kiss formation real easily. And that heart-skipping attire that made Lighting's heart blast off like a heat-seeking missile. And the fact that he was being turned on by her excellent cleavage and the fact that dress gave her a lot more leg. Lightning just had one response for attire such as hers.
"You look beautiful...you're kinda like a beauty queen..." Lightning responded as his impression of hers made Anne Maria blush madly.
"Ohhh, Thank you...so, have any idea on where you're taking me?" she asked him quite politely.
"Well, seeing that you're dressed like that...I always figured that we go shoot some pool. You up for it?" Lightning questioned her nicely.
"I'm not sure...I don't know how to play. I'm just scared that it might ruin my fingernails." Anne Maria let out a little bit of a whimper, knowing that cue stick could ruin those perfectly manicured fingernails of hers, and she just painted them recently.
"Nonsense...I'll teach ya. It isn't that bad." Lightning spoke right to her as he focused on the road.
"Really?"
"Of course. Except that my dad sucks at billiards so bad. The last time he played this ended very bad. What happened was that he hit the ball very hard, and it flung so very far that it broke the damn jukebox. My dad was never allowed there again because he didn't want the pool hall to be a source of bloody nads and convulsions." Upon hearing that, Anne Maria cringed a bit.
"Are you good?"
"Relax...you won't get hurt this time. And yes, I am that good. Nothing works well than learning the student a thing or two. And I'm gonna teach you a lot." Lighting informed her well as he snapped a Slim Jim in his mouth. "You want one? Keep them very well in my glovebox."
Anne Maria soon took one from Lightning's hand and snapped one too. The taste definitely had an interesting taste. A bit of Chipotle mixed with Lime and Buffalo. He must've had a ton of Slim Jim's in his whole entire room.
"Hmmmm...this is interesting. I don't think I ever seen this flavor before." Anne Maria raised an eyebrow.
"That's rare. Went to Argentina and got it. I have 10 of those in my house I have kept safe from my disaster-filled dad." Lightning replied as he saw a sign up above that said Ultra John's Pool Hall. It looked very mid-size for a pool hall, but it just felt so comfortable. Plus, on Lightning's side, there just happened to be beer and a whole lot of chicks, but that wasn't Lightning's mission. He only focused on Anne Maria, and that was it.
"So this is the place, huh?" she asked also looking up at the sign.
"Yep!" Lighting exclaimed as they parked next to the gate. "Let me get you the door, my lady..."
Lightning closed his car door behind him and went to Anne Maria's side, therefore opening the door for her just like a true gentleman would.
"Ohhhhh...that's so sweet of you..." she cooed at him. He felt so warm and comfortable because of that compliment. As she got out, the whiff of her cherry vanilla scented hair attracted Lightning like a magnet, therefore not letting go of that scent. Lightning swore his heart just skipped a beat two times.
"I do what I can for you." Lightning said back as he closed the car door behind her and escorted each other.
Anne Maria started to have second thoughts about this place.
"I'm not sure about this...this place looks a little rowdy..." she said, knowing that this would be the first time at a rowdy pool hall.
"Don't worry...you're with me. If anything bad happens to you, I'm gonna protect you no matter what, okay?" Lightning spoke real close up to her as he displayed a charming smile. And why not? Lightning was real tough no matter what size his enemies were. Big or small. He felt like he was Anne Maria's personal yet charming bodyguard. He was like a black Kevin Costner.
"Okay...let's go..." Anne Maria cooed once again as they both went inside.
Okay, this was a bit short, but nonetheless, I finished it.
I think I awwed a little bit, because of the way that Lightning acted so gentlemanly though...
Anyway, read and review until next chapter!
