Tonight was date number two with Millie and instead of taking her out somewhere I was going to cook us dinner and serve it on my balcony, which you can see The London Eye from and other London trademarks. It was a beautiful view I had to admit which is what pushed me into buying the apartment, everyone that had been here had commented on the view and they all told me how lucky I was to have such a good view and I couldn't disagree with them. The people below my floor didn't get the view, they just got trees or they could see just the top of The London Eye or something… they didn't have the best of views.
Things with Millie were going surprisingly well, I couldn't complain. We had decided to keep out work lives and private lives separate, if we had a bad day at work then we decided to leave it at work. Although this was officially date number 2 we had seen each other outside of work to just chill out and talk a little, we only went for a couple of walks round parks and things like that. Stuff you couldn't consider a real date. It seemed to be going well and Millie seemed to be happy with how things are going with us, I was worried that she would see we were two completely different people and she would decide that I wasn't the man for her but I believe I was. I was going to let her go easily.
I made sure dinner was nearly done and the apartment was nice and tidy for her… I didn't want her thinking I was a slob. On the balcony I had put a small table with two chairs, put a white table cloth over it and lit a candle, thankfully it wasn't a windy night so the candle should stay lit. I poured two glasses of wine and set them out too and just in time. The buzzer went off and I let Millie in the main door and opened the front door for her and stood out so she would know which apartment was mine.
When she reached me we greeted each other with a kiss and I let her in, I took her coat off her and she held up my jacket "You forgot to take this back" She told me and I thanked her "This is a great apartment, a lot of space" She said as she had look around "So, what do we have planned for date number 2?" She asked.
"We are going to have dinner on my balcony… I have an amazing view and I have to admit I'm not a bad cook either so hopefully you will enjoy yourself tonight" I told her.
"Ok Mr Cocky" She said with a grin and made her way out to the balcony "I have to admit you do have a very beautiful view" She commented.
"Please sit down and make yourself comfortable, dinner is now ready" I said to her and when she was sat down I rushed into the kitchen to put the dinner on plates. It wasn't an amazing meal I cooked it was a chicken dinner that my mum guaranteed would make a good impression on a girl, once it was dished up I brought it out to Millie "Here you go" I said and placed a plate down in front of her.
"Did you cook this? All by yourself?" She questioned.
"Yeah, thanks for the vote of confidence" I replied with a chuckle.
"Sorry. I just didn't have you down as a cook that's all. I just hope it tastes as good as it looks" She said and took a bite "Well I have to admit that it is a very tasty dinner, well done" She said and took another bite.
Me and Millie spoke over dinner and she told me about her family. She was an only child and her parents were called David and Jennifer, David used to be a police officer and retired when he was Detective Chief Inspector about 5 years ago and Jennifer used to be a midwife. She had a happy childhood although a little bit lonely as she was a single child and her cousins were younger, I think that's why she is a little quiet and a she's quite happy in her own company.
"Did you always want to be a copper?" I asked her.
"Yeah I did. My dad used to come home and tell me stories about the people he had helped that day, he would tell me how happy the job made him and you could see it made him happy. He loved his job and so I decided to give it a go, my mum wanted me to be a midwife like her but I saw my aunt give birth and it wasn't the best site… put me off a little so I decided to stick with the police work" She explained to me "What about you? Did you always want to do this?" She asked.
"Actually no I wanted to be a property developer like my dad, he owned his own business and I wanted to do that but then I looked into policing and I realised how much I could help people. How I could make a positive difference to people so I decided to go with that. My dad was a little angry at first but he came round and my mum still asks me if I want a career change, I think she worries about me" I told her.
"My mum calls me everyday to make sure I'm still alive" Millie stated.
"Mum's worry about their children, my mum is the worst for it. The bombings a couple of years ago that killed Emma… she was going crazy and wanted me to come home straight away so she knew that I was ok. She phoned me constantly but I can't say I blamed her" I said to her.
"Do you think they will ever stop?" Millie asked.
"Mothers are mothers" I replied.
"I thought you would have settled down by now, maybe got married" Millie told me.
"Why? Am I that old?" I questioned.
"No" She replied "When you first look at you, the first impression you get is a hard working man in a nice house with a nice wife who will have dinner cooked by the time you get home. You don't come across a single man who eats ready made meals" She explained to me.
"Is that a good thing?" I asked.
"For me it is" She answered as she took another sip of wine.
"I thought you would have had a steady boyfriend… you're a very beautiful woman and very strong and caring, I thought someone would have snatched you up by now" I told her.
"I go on dates and stuff but the police officer thing normally has them running a mile away, if they don't bolt after that they normally bolt because of the hours I do. They're not the most sociable work hours and they get fed up of me coming up with excuses" She explained.
It started to get a little cold so I blew the candle out and took everything back inside. Millie closed the doors to the balcony and I told her to make herself comfortable on the sofa, she sat down as I poured us some more wine. I switched the TV on and put it on a music channel for some background music, Love Me Like You Do came on by Ellie Goulding and Millie stood up "Come and dance with me" She said.
I put my glass of wine down and stood up. I wrapped my arms around Millie and pulled her close to me, she rested her head on my shoulder and we swayed slowly in time with the music. I could hear Millie singing along softly to the words and I couldn't help but smile. I had to admit Millie was a good dancer, she knew what she was doing and she wasn't that bad a singer either. Is there anything that this girl can't do? She was amazing.
"Millie?" I questioned.
She looked up at me and I leaned my head down to catch her in a kiss. She kissed me back straight away, it was a very passionate kiss that seemed to go on and on… not that I minded. I pulled her that little bit closer and she didn't seem to mind, actually she put her hands to my waist and gripped onto me as we kissed. As the kiss deepened the music had finished but neither of us had taken notice. We walked backwards until we fell onto the sofa, I sat down as Millie straddled me as we still kissed. My hands went to her bum and hers went to my chest, the kiss got more and more heated as time went on, it didn't look like we were going to be stopping anytime soon.
Millie started unbuttoning my shirt and I was shocked but I let her continue doing what she was doing, my hands went up to the top of her dress and I started undoing the zipper. I did it slowly in case Millie decided that she didn't want to do this yet and she wanted to wait but she didn't protest "Let's go to my bedroom, it's more comfortable" I said to her and she simply nodded.
As Millie stood her dress fell from her leaving her in a strapless black bra and some matching black lacy underwear, she looked breathtaking. I held my hand out to her and she took it without hesitation, I walked to my bedroom and once in the room Millie closed the door and went over to my bed. She laid down on it and was waiting for me to make my next move. I took my jeans off so I was only left in my boxers and I joined her on the bed. We started kissing again and our hands roamed each other's body to get a feel for what each other likes and I don't like.
I laid on top of Millie and placed kissed down her cheek and neck, she breathed out a small moan so I continued what I was doing. I expertly undone her bra with one hand and threw it across the room somewhere before putting my lips to hers once again, her hands went to my back and she started to go down to the waistband of my boxers. She slipped her hand in and started pushing them down, I helped kick them off and then I did the same to Millie, I took her underwear off for her and looked down at her. She smiled at me sweetly as she leaned up to kiss me.
