Dinner was over and Chris held my hand as we walked out of the restaurant.

The driver was still waiting tho.

Chris open the door of the car, ushering me in, while the driver ushered him in.

Then he dropped me off at home.

While in the car, I said, 'Thanks again for dinner, you've just saved the stress of cooking. probably we could do this another time'.

Chris chuckled at my humor.
'You know on I can do anything for you', He said.

'Bunch of lies', I said within me.

One side of me wanted more of him and another said wanted more of someone else.
I mean, Chris had the money so he gave me anything I wanted, he treats me like a princess.

Then I smiled and he retaliated.
'Ok then, here we are', I said as the driver pulled over at my place.

'Guessing we can do this some other time, I will drive you next time, I promise', Chris said.
'Ya sure', I replied.

He left me with a gentle kiss on the lips and ushered me out of the car.
I felt butterflies.

He stared at me as I went into my house.
Then, 'He's gone'.

I smiled from ear to ear as I entered my house. Then I realized that I was inside my house.

'Jesse!
Jesse!!
Jesse!!!, I called out to my guardian angel.

'I have been here the whole time', he said as he appears by the door, leaving me startled.
'Don't do that again, please', I said as I tried to catch my breath.

'You two are cute together', Jesse said.
'Who', me trying to play dumb.

'You and Chris of course. I knew you two will work out'.
Jesse has a way of ruining my mood.

'I'm going up stairs ', I said, stumping upstairs.

'Don't you need dinner?', he yelled, just to get me more pissed.
'I thought you said you were with me the whole time', I yelled back as I banged my room door.
