Chapter 8
Andy showed up at her house, thirty minutes early. He knocked on the door and there she was. She stood at the door in her dark blue tight jeans, her black turtle neck, white sneakers and ponytail. Her outfit showed off her five foot and five inch figure, and every curve that was on her petite little body. He looked at her face again and he completely died. She was standing there smiling at him and had love in her beautiful soft brown eyes. "Love?" He looked again and he wasn't mistaken. "Maybe it was for her daughter, she just said good bye or something." He thought and grabbed her hand leading her to his truck. When they got in, he drove her to Jones Ranch, his restaurant. Normally, he wouldn't take a girl to his restaurant, but he wanted to know what she thought about it. He knew that this wasn't a place you bring a date to, but she felt like more than a date and he wanted her opinion. Her opinion mattered to him, for some strange reason, it mattered.
Arriving at the restaurant, he parked. He opened her door and led her to their seats, in the restaurant. Once inside and seated, he decided that he would take this time to get to know her.
"So Destiny, tell me about yourself. I mean I know you have at least one daughter." He started
"Oh, you mean Jewel. Yes, she is the oldest of my five children. Than there is Kallie, Jade and Jean and Sean are twins. And Scott's a family friend, but he's like a son to me so he's pretty much my sixth child. He's the same age as Jean and Sean though." She simply stated
"Really? How old are you then? I mean you don't look a day over twenty-two."
"Oh, thank you. I'm actually thirty-seven years old, my ex-husband died in combat a few months after the twins were born."
"I'm sorry to hear, that must be awful."
"Don't be, I'm not. He thought he could be a certain way with me but he died when he fought with the police. Jean and Sean were asleep and Jade was at a friends house. So the only ones, I'm worried about are Jewel and Kallie. But enough about me, what about you? "
"Well I'm thirty-seven years old too. My parents are both dead and I have no siblings. My mom died when I was young and my father died last year."
"I'm sorry, lets talk about a happy subject. The food here is great. How did you find this place?"
"Actually I own it. Name's Andrew Jones, Andy for short. How did you hear of this place?"
"I heard about it from Jewel, who heard from girls who have came here with their dates. It's a great place."
"Thank you. She has no experience here? I figured if she looks anything like you then she must have the boys hounding her."
"Jewel doesn't date. She's waiting for the right guy, and there's not a lot of right guys at her school. In fact for her there aren't any." Destiny laughed.
For a few minutes, they both just sat there laughing. They continued to laugh and joke around. They found them-selves telling each other things they wouldn't dare tell anyone. All in all they were having a great time until Destiny's phone rang.
