When she got to the restaurant Antonio was inside the first room waiting impatiently. "Oh you're here. Thanks for coming." He smiled getting up from a chair and greeting her.
Daryl nodded and smiled a little hiding the pain she felt inside. "It's not a problem, so what exactly are we doing first?"
"Let me show you around." He grabbed her hand leading her into the next room, it had flowers and was fairly dark with a bunch of candles lit, a stereo tables, buffet, all you can ask for.
He led her over to the flowers on the table and pointed to them looking at her. "These…these flowers, they're beautiful, but not even close to how beautiful you are."
Daryl looked up at him confused, her face lighting up with the candle as Antonio led her to another table. "These candles." He pointed again and looked at Daryl. "They don't compare to the way you light up the room when you walk inside."
Daryl looked up at him again, this time a few tears rolling down her cheeks. "Antonio…" She said softly and then continued. "I'm sorry, I'm confused."
Antonio chuckled and sat her down at one of the tables. "I guess I sorta forgot to mention that, that special someone was you." He replied in a soft tone, taking Daryl by surprise.
"Look I realize you may not feel the same and your cousin hates me, but I can't help how I feel." He sighed looking down.
"Antonio, I feel the same way." Daryl smiled putting her hand on the table and grabbing his hand.
He smirked and looked at her. "You mean it?" To which she replied with just a small nod and a huge smile on her face.
"What about Matt?" Antonio asked getting up and grabbing her hand pulling her up.
"Eh, we don't have to tell him, now do we?" Daryl grinned and kissed him softly as he deepened the kiss closing his eyes. They both pulled away at the same time and grinned at each other.
Antonio laughed "Yeah, you're right. Plus he shouldn't have a say in who you date anyway." Antonio kissed her once again as the two sat down and had dinner together.
They talked for hours and before they know it, it was just past midnight. "I better head home." Daryl said getting up and grabbing her purse as Antonio got up after her. "Wow we talked for 6 hours." He laughed and grabbed her hand holding it tight.
"I know, time flies when you're having fun." She grinned and pressed his lips against his softly as he looked down into her eyes."I had a great time." He whispered as she nodded smiling brightly. "Me too."
They both got into their separate cars as Daryl went back home going inside. Matt kept making out with Ashley on his lap as Daryl shook her head. "Hey slut, hey cuz." She chuckled and went into the bedroom she was staying in.
Matt followed a few minutes later after saying his goodbyes to Ashley.
"Well, how was it? You know, the guy you like, asking for help for another woman that he likes?" He tried not to laugh, acting like he had some sympathy.
"Actually…" Daryl looked up from her bed with a grin. "Nevermind."
Matt raised an eyebrow curious. "No, go on."
"Well Matt, did you notice I was gone for like 6 hours? You know, helping someone out doesn't take that long. Infact I was talking to Antonio for those 6 hours and I am his special someone." She got up and grabbed her bag. "And you know what, if you don't like it, I really don't give a damn. You're dating, well not exactly, she's with Crispin Glover. You're fucking someone elses girlfriend, a slut, former escort, and you practically forbid me to see Antonio? I'm not even going to bother caring what you think about it." She went out the door and slammed the door heading to Antonios house before Matt could recat.
