Date Night

****Chloe****

I was absent from work for two days but after I returned everything looked the same. Only Brandon's behavior changed a bit. He avoids touching me or being alone with me in a room. I have to say that I really like this change in him, but it also looks suspicious. Is he behind kidnapping me? Or does my family have something about it? Did they find me already? So many questions in my head and I don't even know the answer to them. The police find a dead end after interrogating my kidnapper. The police put him behind the bars and I feel a little relieved but not completely. The phone they called my kidnapper before said that "Not available at the moment. It turned out it was a disposable mobile. The place where he needed to meet with his hirer, it burned down into ashes completely. No evidence or sign to find them after these two clues. The police can't do anything else, just wait for a new track to show up. For me, I look into every corner to make sure it is safe and behind my back that nobody follows me. I am alert for every nose no matter where I go. I got back

After the accident, Alex called me a couple of days later. He asked me about a date with him that he mentioned before and I said "Yes" without hesitation. He helped me fix my car because he has a friend who is a car mechanic. Luckily I have my car back and I can go to work with my car and do the grocery shopping. He texted me every day if I needed anything and how I am feeling.


Tonight I will meet with him for our first date. I am so excited. He looks like a nice guy and I hope I can finally be happy. I won't say I will marry him after our first date but maybe a couple of months later. We will see. I colored my natural blonde hair into brunette so it will be harder to recognize me also. I look at myself in my mirrors and check how I look. I put some waves into my hair tonight. I put on minimal makeup and eyeliner for my eyes. I use pink lipstick for my lips and I am ready. Only my little dress is missing. It is a blue strapless knee-length long dress. It fits every curve of my body perfectly. I brought some of my favorite dresses with me when I left my family. These dresses don't deserve to be touched by Sophia's nasty hands. She should take everything from my room when she gets inside. I wonder how she and Derek get together nowadays. If she is pregnant and her hormones will take over her body then Derek is in trouble. She might cry a lot and want everything that catches her eye. Anyway, I am better without them now and I will be okay in the future as well. After I am done I check myself again in the mirror and am satisfied with what I see. My wound is almost healed but with a little makeup, it is easy to cover it.
At seven o'clock the bell rings and Alex's voice welcomes me through the intercom. I let him inside the house and soon he knocked on the door. I open the door and face him. He is so hot even without his uniform. His sandy blonde hair stands where it is longer on the top. I can see now more clearly his dark brown eyes. He was freshly shaved and his perfume hit my nose. Grapefruit, tangerine, bay leaf, patchouli, and some other stuff mixed together. It has a sweet scent and I really like it. He wears a white shirt but the sleeves are rolled up. His muscular forearm is on the show and it looks like I was right before. He is strong and muscular all over his body. He wears a pair of dark blue jeans with some scratches on them.

"Good to see you, Chloe. You are so beautiful."He runs his gaze from my toes to my head. He gives me a kiss on my cheek and I do the same. His body is warm and I can breathe his perfume more.

"Good to see you too Alex. You look handsome."I feel my cheeks blush because he really looks like a walking God. I am so lucky to find him and he is single.

"Are you ready to go?"He asks and offers me his hand to take it but I turn to grab my handbag. After I got it I turned back to him with a smile on my face.

"Yes, I am ready now. So where are you taking me tonight?"I ask him after we are face to face with each other. He smiles back at me and his dimples show up. I always loved dimples on men's faces but when it is right in front of me I want to touch them and kiss them.

"It is a surprise. You will see it. Let's go then."He entwined our fingers. He opens the passenger door for me and helps me to sit inside his blue Dodge Challenger. It feels comfy and I really like this car. He shuts my door and quickly comes to the other side of the car. He hops in and steps on the gas pedal. After a little while, he parked the car in front of a movie theater. He opens the door for me again and helps me get out of his car. He greets the ticket man and he gives us two tickets. We walk into the movie hand in hand and enter a half-dark room. Some commercials already play on the screen. Some people are in the room but all sit in the front section. He walks with confidence to the back seats. He sits on one of the chairs and pats the chair next to his. I just see now that a big bowl of popcorn and some drinks are also here. I look at the drinks and I recognize my favorite one is here too. Ginger ale is my favorite but how does he know about it? As if he can read my mind he leans closer and whispers into my ear.

"I saw on your social media account that this is your favorite. I hope I didn't do anything inappropriate. I love this too actually. I hope I prepared everything that you like."He winks at me and after leaning back against his seat to watch my reaction. It is really nice of him because I didn't know he paid this much attention to what I liked.

"No, you did everything right. Thank you for paying attention to my needs."I shyly start to blush but luckily he can't see it in this bright light. I reach for his hand and squeeze it to let him know how much it means to me.

"You're so cute when you're shy."He puts his finger under my chin and pulls my face closer to his. He gives me a long kiss on my cheek and I enjoy every second of it until it lasts. If he knows what he does with my body. The fire slowly starts to light up and spread in my veins. He put the popcorn between us and I accepted it without hesitation. Soon the movie starts and we watch a romantic comedy film. I enjoyed every moment of it and we laughed a lot. Some tears fell from my eyes because we laughed a lot throughout the movie. Our fingers touched from time to time when we both reached for some popcorn. He puts his arm on my shoulder at some point and pulls me closer to his body. This way I can breathe in his intoxicating scent. The warmth of his makes me comforted and feels like home. I know it is strange but it feels alright with a man beside me. I can't be alone for the rest of my life. I need a partner by my side who makes me whole and I need to feel that someone loves me back. After the popcorn was gone he laced our hands together. His thumb rubs the side of my hand and it feels so good. He puts his head on top of mine and we stare at the screen in complete peace.

After the movie is over we leave the place hand in hand. I feel myself on cloud nine. I think I can fall in love with him easily. He is funny, smart, muscular, handsome, and can protect me. He leads me to his car and we roll on the road again. It is still early but I am glad I said yes to him when he asked me out. I thought he would take me home but we ride in the opposite direction. What is he planning now? Am I in danger and he will take me to some unknown place?
