Cassandra's POV
At 8 sharp, my bell rung. I hurried over to the door and opened it. If the human jaw was flexible you probably would've been able to see it practically reach the floor and hang there like a slinky, but sadly it's not so just um, imagine it? Because that's how it felt.
I was standing in front of a Latina goddess, no doubt about that. It was probably a goddess that decided to take the form of a human being and that's where my beautiful hero comes from... heaven.
She was wearing a red skinny jeans with black leather boots, a black sleeveless flannel shirt topped with a red leather jacket. She had her hair down and had died it blonde. What? When did she have time? She was wearing light makeup and her signature red lipstick. She looked absolutely smoking. I was absolutely speechless. I felt so insecure at that sight, I looked like a piece of crap next to this princess, what was she even doing with me? All my insecurities flooded at that time but I shouldn't let that destroy our evening so I plastered a fake smile on my face and greeted my date.
"Wow, Naya..you er..you um look ehh fantastic?" Fuck I sounded ridiculous and awkward, she was gonna realize any second now that this was a mistake and leave. But to my surprise she fell into a hysterical laugh, huh?
"Hahaha that sounded pretty awkward love but was it some sort of question? Haha thanks I guess?" She was scratching her neck, looking rather uncomfortable. Way to go Cassandra.
"I'm sorry I just wow... you look stunning babe, sorry it's just I was running out of words to describe the view standing in front of me so it got out weirdly." I hung my head awkwardly, staring at my legs. I looked ridiculous, I was sure she was gonna turn around and left any second now. Wait for it, wait for it. Nope, she was still there. It was getting quite freaky, I had no idea what she was thinking. Seconds later, I was still staring down and I watched her feet stop in front of mine, like super close. Uh oh, was she gonna slap me? Omg she probably is gonna tell me she regrets this and leave. Before I could muster any other thought, she had cupped my cheeks making me look up and collided our lips together firmly. We started slowly kissing and there were so many emotions going through it was overwhelming. What was that for? I wasn't complaining, quite the contrary, but I was definitely stunned.
"Thank you baby girl, but if you're telling me this then you definitely haven't seen yourself. I'm so lucky to be going on a date with you, you look like a model." She hugged me tightly, not allowing me to say anything else. Was this real life? Did this goddess truly care about me and find me pretty? Could she really have feelings for me? Is it even possible?
I just hugged her back, not wanting to move from there, while pushing back my tears. I didn't want to cry in front of her. I hate crying in front of people, I feel so vulnerable when I do. But I would never trade this moment for anything else. It felt like a dream come true.
She grabbed me by the hand and yanked me outside before I could do anything, she definitely was excited for this and this thrilled me. It felt surreal, someone actually cared about me and it was no one else than my hero. I just ugh.
When we got outside, she hurried to her car to open the door for me and whispered a "after you my lady" before chuckling and pecking my cheek. This HAD to be the cutest thing EVER. Okay seriously, I've been on dates a few times but I was never THIS nervous. But I have a feeling it's gonna be amazing, especially considering my company.
I thanked her and got in, waiting for her to settle down and drive away. I still had no idea where we were going but I thought better not to ask, she was clearly keeping it to herself. I was zoned out, staring outside, daydreaming about where she could be taking me and how the date could go until I felt her hand grab mine and intertwining our fingers together. I swooned. I looked at her and smiled nervously. She shot me a wink before bringing back her attention to the road. After about half an hour of driving, we reached a cabin that looked a bit deserted. At some point, this freaked me out a bit because it seemed pretty abandonned so why were we here? But Naya's presence by my side somehow calmed me down. We got out of the car and advanced towards it, and I was getting more and more excited by the second. This was so creepy yet adventurous. Once we reached the door, Naya got out a pair of keys from her bag and started jingling it into the lock while I was too busy thinking about how overdressed we looked for this old place-
Okay, I take it all back, all the creepiness, the freakiness and the overdressing. The door opened to reveal a table for two that was set up in the middle of what seemed like the kitchen. It was dark but the entire think was lightly illuminated by hundreds of little candles making it simply..magical. The table for two was set, there were roses in the middle of the table and there was an amazing smell. How did she manage to set this all up? I was utterly speechless. It looked elegant and classy, nothing like I had imagined, was I dreaming? Was I stuck in a Disney movie or something? This couldn't be real. I starting tearing up at the thought of Naya putting so much effort into our first dte that I hadn't noticed her starting to get slightly panicked. I guess my silence gave her the wrong idea.
"I-I'm so sorry I th-thought that we could come to s-something private and romantic and I-I"
Her stuttering was so adorable that I would've probably just stayed there, imobile, to watch her continuing her stutter but I couldn't. I launched myself into her arms, grabbing her face into my hands and smashing our lips together, poking her bottom lip, asking for entrance. I poured so much love into this kiss just to show her how much I appreciated this, how much this meant to me. We were in a full on make out session until she moaned, turning me the hell on but I wasn't ready, at all, so I backed away, panting.
"Baby..I don't know how to thank you enough.."
"You like it?" She looked at me with wide eyes, looking genuinely surprised. Woah she thought I wouldn't?
"More than you could possibly imagine...it feels magical Naya, thank you so much. I feel like a Disney princess, and this is a dream. A dream I don't wanna wake up from."
She kissed my cheeks, whispering in my ear than she didn't wanna wake up from it either and took me towards the table to seat me before taking a seat herself.
"I actually sent my assistant a picture of what I wanted, I drew it and sent it to him and since I was stuck at work I wasn't able to do a lot of it but I'm glad you like it." She gave me one of her breath taking smiles before blushing slightly.
"It's the thought that counts love...and to be honest, I can't put into words how amazing this is."
I had a feeling this night will be one to remember.
