Chapter two: Makoto P.O.V.
"So did you guys have fun at the club last night?" Ami asked as they all gathered at a booth in the Crown.
"It it's a pretty nice club, the guys who work there were pretty hot right Mako-chan?" Minako squeaked.
"Uh yeah," I replied. I knew I sounded as distracted as I felt. I was checking my phone nervously waiting for an unknown number. I had never given my number to a stranger before so I wasn't sure what to expect.
"Earth to Mako-chan! What's got you so worried about your phone today?" Rei asked, waving her hand in my face.
"Oh, sorry it's nothing," I said looking back up at the girls.
"Your expecting someone to call aren't you? I told you not to waste time on that Freddy
guy anymore. That's why we went clubbing remember, so you could get over that trash!"
"I'm not expecting anything from Freddy, calm down. It's someone else, someone I met at the club," I admitted a little sheepishly.
"Who?! I don't remember you seriously flirting with anyone last night," Usagi questioned.
"It was the bartender actually, when I went back to get my purse we sorta talked," I said.
"You talked?" Minako repeated, knowing I wasn't telling the whole story.
"And we might have danced, and I might have given him my phone number..."
"Whoa, back it up a little bit. You danced with him? Like what kind of dance?" Minako
asked leaning across the table so that her big blue eyes could stare me down.
"It was just a nice slow dance, so you can hold back your wild imagination if you don't
mind," I assured as I placed a finger on her forehead and pushed her back to her own side of the table.
"Still I can't believe you gave him your number," Rei commented with a grin.
"Wait you said he was the bartender right? Don't you think he might be a little old for
you?" Usagi asked skeptically.
"You and Mamoru aren't exactly close in age Usagi," Ami pointed out.
"Point taken..."
"I mean we're not little kids anymore either, we're all 21 now," Rei pointed out as well.
Not a moment later my phone started vibrating, drawing everyone's attention. The caller
ID showed a number I didn't know and so I picked it up and excused myself from the table, much to Minako and Usagi's disappointment.
"Hello?" I answered a little nervously.
"Hello, is this Makoto?" came a familiar masculine voice from the other end.
"Yes, and this is Nephrite correct?"
"That would be correct. I was wondering if you had plans for this evening?" He asked.
"No I don't."
"Then would you be interested in accompanying me to dinner?"
"I would love to," I replied with a smile. He might still be a stranger but the thought of getting to know him excited me.
"Where should I pick you up?" he asked. I hadn't expected him to offer to pick me up so the question came as a surprise. I gave him the address to my apartment, excited and nervous at the same time.
"Does 7:00 sound alright?"
"That's fine."
"I'll see you then Makoto."
"See you then."
We hung up and I walked back over to the table where I knew I would be bombarded by questions. Minako was practically bouncing in her seat, ready to burst as I sat back down.
"So was it mystery bartender?" She asked.
"Yes, and his name is Nephrite."
"Alright so what did you and Nephrite talk about," Minako asked.
"He asked me out to dinner tonight," I said with a giddy grin.
"You must give us all details of the night tomorrow!" demanded Usagi.
"What time are you going?" Minako asked.
"He said 7:00."
"Then I will be at your apartment at 6:00," she stated.
"Why?"
"Because I am helping you get ready whether you like it or not."
With a sigh I nodded in defeat. Once Minako has put her mind on something there's no stopping her.
Thank you for reading and thank you for the review! I feel like these chapters are a little too short and if you agree please let me know! I'm going to try and make chapter 3 longer and I will also try and update a little faster. Your time and comments are appreciated and I look forward to hearing more about what you guys think!
