“What should I wear?” I ask Gabe. He still hasn't told me where we are going for our first date. “Dress comfortable” he shouts from the living room. Well I guess high heels are out the picture. I decide to wear a black long sleeve shirt with a pair of jeans. “You should tie your hair” he adds. “Why?” I brush my hair into a pony tail. “Just to be sure” he smirks.
“Okay, I'm ready let's go” I pull him to the door. I'm so excited to go where ever the heck we are going. “Have fun you two” Sophia calls after us. “Where are we going?” I ask for the one million time. “You'll see we are almost there you are so impenitence” he grabs my hand. I pout and give him my best tell me now look. “I swear just a few more minutes”
he smiles. “Fine” I give up this man is impossible to convince.
We finally pull in to a parking lot “Okay from here we have to walk but I'm going to cover your eyes”.
“Oh come on that's ridiculous” I roll my eyes. He covers my eyes “I can't see anything”. I hear him laugh “That's the point”. We walk a little farther and then he stops “Are you ready?”. I jump up and down “I been”.
“1-2-2-2” he repeats. “Hurry up!” he is driving me crazy. “3” he finally removes his hands. “Tada!” we are standing in front of a zoo. “The zoo?” I turn to ask him. “Yea I figure you never been to one so Tada!” he spreads his arms. “You're right,” I grab his hand feeling excited “let's go”.
“Look at that giraffe” I point as we walk by them. “Do you want to feed them?” he ask. My eyes go big “Can we?”.
“Yeah come on” he drags me to buy some giraffe food. I'm so nervous now that we are up close I start to think this was a bad idea. “I don't know about this” I say to Gabe as I pull back. “Come on Muffin. How about I feed him first and then you go?” he drags me towards them. “No how about we do it together” I say. I'm not sure I can do it by myself. “Okay” he wraps one hand around my waist as he grabs my hand as we take baby steps. My heart starts to race and my knees start to wobble. “Wait wait!” I stop moving. “Relax Muffin” he kiss the side of my neck and I breath in and out. “Okay ready” I grab his jean with one hand while he extends our arm to feed the giraffe. The giraffe drops his head and wraps his long tongue around the leaves and eats it. Gabe places our hands on the giraffe and we start stroking it. “He is hairy and bumpy” I say like a 5 year old. “See Muffin nothing to be afraid of” he lets go of my hand “now you feed him”. I grab the branch and stretch my arm the giraffe tongue brushes my fingers and I make a face. “Jane,” I look at Gabe and he takes a picture. I pet the giraffe one last time before I walk away. “I think I found a new favorite animal” I wrap my arms around Gabe's waist and kiss his chest. “Oh really?” he looks down to me. “No,” I laugh “you're still my favorite”. He leans down and gives me a kiss “Come on there is more to see”. We walk around seeing all the different animals I even got to hold a small monkey and it climb all over me. I'm so thankful I listen to Gabe about my hair. Gabe acted like an ape when we pass by them and I took pictures. “Thank you for today it was so much fun” I lean over to give him a kiss.
“You're welcome” he smiles. “You know what,” I shift in my seat to stare at him “you're actually an awesome boyfriend”.
He lets out a small chuckle “I aim to please”. We spend the rest of the day snuggling and watching movies. I can't believe that Gabe and I have been dating for a month now.
All I can say it's that it has been the best month of my life.
Every date we go on is different and better than the last. I'm even more in love with Gabe if that is even possible. Today we are celebrating our one month anniversary and he is actually cooking dinner for us at his place. “I can't find nothing to wear!” I say frustrated. “Don't wear anything I bet he'll like that” Sophia walks in the room. “Not helping” I roll my eyes. “Sorry” she walks to my closet and starts searching.
Everything in my closet goes flying around until it hits my floor “Bingo!” she pulls out a backless blue dress “now go shower and shave every where you'll thank me later”.
“You better clean that mess” I hit the shower and shave like my life depended on it. I find the dress and a pair of lace underwear on my bed. Okay now she is out of control picking out my underwear. I put lotion on and started to change. I check myself out in the mirror the dress fits perfect on my body it highlights all my curves. My back is completely expose the only thing that the dress covers up is my ass. Of course there is no room for a bra in this dress. The dress comes to a stop just above my knees. “Sophia!” I yell for her. She comes running “You rang”. I hand her the bottle of lotion “Can you put some on my back? I can't reach”. I need to be baby skin soft all over. “Wow you look amazing do I know how to pick them or what?” she ask. I got to admit she knows what she is doing. “You don't think it's to much?” I look at the mirror again. “Hell no trust me this is just right” she slaps my ass. What is it with the Smith and my ass? I do my make up and brush my hair in to a high ponytail. I put on my earrings and my heels. The door bell rings and my nervous start back up. Get a hold of yourself Jane it's just Gabe. I put on my pea coat to cover my dress and spry some perfume. “Your date is here” Sophia yells and I walk out the room. My jaw drops as I take in the perfection that is Gabe.
He is looking sexier than I have ever seen him. He is wearing a long black sleeve button up shirt that hugs his muscles and dark jeans. His dark hair is actually comb back and his eyes are brighter than life. “Ewk! Close your mouth Jane you are drooling all over the floor” Sophia tease “You too Gabe”.
“Hey Muffin” he walks towards me. “Hi handsome” I feel like a total dumb ass for being nervous. “This are for you” he hands me a dozen blue roses. “They are beautiful” I smell them and they smell even better. He knows I love roses and the color blue. I have no idea how he got them. “Ready to go?” he ask. I hand Sophia the roses and grab my purse “Ready”. Sophia grabs the roses and walks to the kitchen.
“Are you okay Muffin?” he ask as we get in the car. “Yea I just feel a little nervous” I admit. He reach for my hand “To tell you the truth I'm a little nervous myself”. I let out a laugh “That's silly it's just us”. He gives the back of my hand a kiss and my body instantly relax “Just us”. By the time we get to his house we were both back to our regular self. “Okay close your eye” he says as we stand outside his door. I'm so use to his surprises I just go with the flow. “Okay” I close them. He opens the door and I peak “Eyes close!” he says. I close them back up and I hear him moving around in the apartment. “I don't know how much longer I can keep my eyes close” I say from the doorway. “Just a second” he calls out. I feel his arms around my waist “Open them”. The house smells like a combination of food and candles I open my eyes and see a table in the middle of the dinning room. The table is cover in a white cloth and there are lit candles in the middle. On the floor around the table there are blue and white rose petals shape into a heart. “Wow” I blurt out. “Thanks that's what I was aiming for” he says. Where have I herd that before?
“This is amazing Gabe” I say as I scan the place. “Only the best for my Muffin” he kissed my cheek. We walk towards the table “May I take your coat madam” he says. “You may” I unbutton my coat and slowly slide it off. I hear him gasp as I expose my dress. He isn't the only one that aims to please.
“Damn baby you're hot!” he takes my coat. “Thank you,” I blush “You look extremely handsome”. He pulls out the chair “Madam”. I take a seat and he leans in “You are one gorgeous woman”. He gives me a quick tap on the lips “Let's eat before the food gets cold”.
