It was time for Ronnie and I's date. I am nervous but excited at the same time. I was finishing up getting ready as Ronnie waited downstairs. He always seems to get ready before I do, he don't seem to mind though.
I came downstairs and he was stood up from the couch when I came down. He was wearing a nice tux, with a black tie. I was wearing a nice, tight black, knee length dress.
"You look beautiful, Reba." He said to me as he walked to me
"Thank you. You look very handsome yourself." I said.
"Are you ready to go?"
"Yes I am."
We walked out to the car with our arms intertwined. He opened the car door for me and we hopped in. We went to a fancy Italian restaurant a town over. I loved this place. It was busy, as always.
We sat down at a far table, in hopes of a little privacy.
He pulled my chair out for me as I sat down. He was truly being a gentleman.
We ordered a bottle of wine to share.
"I always love coming here." I said.
"So do I. Are you excited to get back on the road?"
"Yes, and no. I love what I do, but it gets tiring."
"I know exactly what you mean."
We talked for awhile while we waited for our foods. As Ronnie was talking, I noticed Kix, Barbra, Janine, and Narvel walk in. Great…
I didn't even realize Ronnie stopped talking. He must have noticed me looking at something because he turned to look where I was staring. I notice him tense up when he saw them. I was just hoping they wouldn't be seated near us. They weren't seated near us, but they were close enough that everyone could see each other.
Ronnie looked at me and just shook his head.
"Let's just ignore them. We are having a good time, let's not let them ruin it." I said as I looked him in the eye.
"You're right."
The waiter came with our foods and we thanked him. I ordered a chicken parmesean and Ronnie ordered spaghetti.
I looked over to our friends and exes and noticed that Kix was watching us. I was a little upset with Kix, he has been ignoring us for a month, and I don't really know why. We suspect it's because of Narvel and Janine.
I looked away from him and focused on Ronnie, I was not going to let them ruin our night.
