The next couple of days Maya didn't see Johnny around much. She figured he must be busy with business. Brooklyn was feeling much better and you could no longer see the mark on her face. She and Maya had plenty of time to gush about Johnny, and Maya shared all the details of the Bahamas trip.
Today Brooklyn stopped by the hospital to pick Maya up from work. "Where are we going tonight?' Brook asked. "Somewhere we won't get into any trouble." Maya said. "Where's that place?" Brooklyn asked laughing.
"Let's go out to eat. There's this chic little restaurant that just opened downtown." Maya said. "Let's stop by my apartment, get changed and we'll go out then." Brooklyn said. They both got into Brooklyn's care and headed on their way.
When they pulled up to her apartment, Johnny was standing outside holding a bunch of roses. "Aww! Makes me wish I had a man to bring me flowers." Brooklyn said.
"Hey." Maya said walking up to him. "Hi! We didn't exactly have the best conversation the last time we spoke, you know, so much happened with those creeps. I just wanted to make it up to you." He said handing her the roses. "Thanks. This is so sweet." She told him leaning in to kiss him.
"Are you two planning anything tonight?" he asked. "We wanted to go out to a restaurant or something?" Maya said. "Why do you ask?" "I want to take you out tonight. And I have a friend for Brook if she doesn't mind a double date." Johnny said.
"Is he good looking?" Brooklyn asked. "I don't look at my friend that way. But he's a great guy, the opposite of me. You'll like him; he's a music artist too, working on his album." Johnny informed her. "He already sounds like my type." Brooklyn said.
"What should we wear?" Maya asked. "Something hot but not too dressed up." Johnny described. "Where are we going?" Brooklyn asked. "It's a surprise." He told her. "I hate surprises." Brook said.
"I'm sure you'll impress us." Maya said before she and Brooklyn headed up to the apartment. Maya borrowed a lace sweetheart mini dress from Brooklyn. It was simple but cute and Johnny would like her in anything she wore. It was so refreshing dating a man that didn't have great expectations for how their relationship was supposed to span out.
Brooklyn, flashy as can be, chose a cheetah print mini dress with a matching black belt. Maya couldn't help but smile. She was happy to see Brook so enthusiastic. She was worried about her after the attack the other night. Maya was so fortunate Johnny had come to save them when he did. It scared her to think about what could have happened.
"How do I look?" Brooklyn asked. "You look hot." Maya said. "And you look so pretty, although it doesn't matter what you wear. I'm sure Johnny's imagining what it would look like off." Brook said. "Brooklyn!" Maya said. "It's the truth." Brook said.
"Look at you. You're tall and gorgeous. Johnny wants you bad. He'd be a fool not to." Brooklyn said. "Johnny and I just started dating; I don't want to mess our relationship up. We already got a little wild in the Bahamas." Maya said.
"Then you should be making more memories since you don't even remember what happen one of those nights." Brooklyn said. "I'm not sure." Maya said. "Just after the date, head over to his penthouse and see what happens." Brooklyn said.
Johnny ended up taking them out to this music bar they'd never heard of right outside of town. So many up and coming artists were playing there. "It's a great way to get discovered." Johnny said. "All these new artists come in, play something new they've been working on, and sometimes producers stop by to listen."
They noticed a tall man with blonde hair and blue eyes waving at them from across the room. "That's my bud, Jake." Johnny said. "He looks like he could be my type." Brooklyn said. "Then come on, I'll introduce you to him." Johnny said. The ladies followed him over to where Jake was standing.
"Jake, this is your date, Brooklyn." Johnny introduced. "Nice to meet you." Jake said reaching out to shake her hand. "And let me guess, you're Maya?" He asked turning to Maya. "Yeah, I'm Maya. Has Johnny told you anything about me?" she asked. "Only good things." Jake said. "I would hope so." Maya said.
"So, Brooklyn when are you releasing your album?" Jake asked. "I'm not releasing anything right now. I'm trying to get a contract." She said. "I've heard you sing before at lounges. You have an amazing voice." Jake complimented her. "You think so?' she asked. "I know so." He said. "I'd like to do a duet with you some time."
"Well what do you ladies want to drink?' Johnny asked. "Just bring a couple of pints over here." Maya said and Brooke agreed as the men went to go get the drinks.
"Jake seems pretty cool. I like him." Brook said. "I want to get to know him better." "Do you want me and Johnny to leave you two alone for a bit to talk?" Maya asked. "Could you, please? I really want a little one on one time with Jake." Brook said. "After we drink for a bit I'll convince Johnny to leave you two alone." Maya said.
