Chapter 123 - First Date

Time was now winding down to the evening and my nerves grew even more.

He had told me that he made reservations some place fancy at seven pm and to be ready by six thirty.

I was still sitting in a pile of my clothes when six pm rolled around and I was on the verge of another melt down.

The dress that I had planned to wear, pictured it in my head and liked it already, could no longer fit me.

It's a good thing that I had already styled my hair with two spaced buns at the front and the wild and free in a half up half down style and now as I look at my edges that won't cooperate I wanted to just scream.

This would be my first real date and I was beginning to feel out of my mind.

I wanted nothing more than to just call everything off and call it a night, but he put so much effort into this and I didn't want to hurt his feelings by ghosting him so I went with my second option dress.

He did say to dress fancy so I was not going to disappoint so I wore my red dinner dress that had a slit up the side and right down the bust area.

Yes yes I know that I own a lot of slit dresses, but those dresses makes it a little easier to walk and breath all while looking elegant and head turning.

Although it too was a little tight and my little mommy belly was showing I sucked it in and held my breath and it looked a little better.

Good thing I have been doing stomach vacuums all my life so not breathing while in a dress will be no problem.

I finished getting ready at about six twenty, redoing my edges and choosing my shoes.

The shoes that I had chose was a red stilettoes with a gold heel since my dress had a few golden designs here and there.

I looked in the mirror one more time looking at my blank face and I frowned grabbing my makeup and added some high lighter, mascara and lip gloss.

I wanted to do like a smoky eye look, but Lia was too busy on such short notice so that would have to be for another time I am afraid.

I think I looked some what decent in the face, but if not, I'll just twirl the dress a few times as distraction.

I heard a knock at the door at exactly half past six and I smiled shaking my head grabbing my purse then opened the door, "punctual are we now?"

"Woah." I heard him say as he stared at me and I became embarrassed.

"Stawwp! You're making me blush you idiot." I replied gently hitting his chest

"May I?" he asked gesturing for my hand and I nodded my head yes extending it, and he took it and placed a kiss at the back .

I giggled a little as he pulled me outside closing the door behind him as he held onto my waist.

"If I hadn't made reservations for half an hour from now I would have dragged you back into that apartment." he said when we were in the elevator as he looked me up and down.

"You don't look too bad yourself" I complimented as I too looked him up and down loving the way his black suit hugged his figure and I immediately got embarrassed as I remembered how his muscles rippled last night as he was on top me.

"Are those dirty thoughts I see floating around in that pretty little head of yours?" he smirked and my ears heated up even more.

He must have loved it when I was embarrassed for he began to laugh and the elevator dinged at the lobby floor and and he held my hand pulling me out the door.

"Why are leaving this way?" I asked confused thinking that his car would have been in the underground parking lot.

"We travel in style my love." he simply replied and I gasped as I saw the limousine outside with the driver waiting by the door and he grinned, "only the best for my lady. Let's go. I need to get you far from home before I lose control and drag you back upstairs."

He held my hand as I entered the car and he did after and the driver closed the door.

"So are you going to tell me where we are going?" I asked as the car drove off and he shook his head no.

"It's a surprise Aein -(Sweetheart)" he replied and I smiled at the nick name.

Sweetheart?

Pfttt this man.

Why am I blushing?

We were quiet for the most part of the meal as his hand rested on my exposed thigh as we sipped from our flute of champagne.

The silence was not awkward, but comforting for we spent most of the day talking already so the silence was nice.

The car shortly came to a stop and the door opened revealing a marvelous restaurant.

"Ouu I know this place," I said a little excited as he held my hand helping me out the car, "it's new isn't it? I heard the food here is divine and to get a reservation is quite hard. How did you do it?"

He shrugged as he intertwined our hands at the elbow, "I have my ways."

The inside was as beautiful as the outside and I had to refrain myself from saying, "woah" out loud for I didn't want to seem as if I have never been any where classy before.

"Hello Good evening. Welcome to 'In Seoul' a restaurant that not only feeds your stomach, but also your hearts. Our restaurant have been reviewed by many famous chefs and have been granted 4.9 star of satisfactory approved dining so we guarantee you a good meal and good time. Do you have a reservation?" asked the lady at the front smiling politely as she recited her lines.

"Yes. Reservation for two under Kim Seo Jun please." said Shiwoo and she checked her computer.

"Ah yes. Right this way please."

He motioned for me to go first and I followed her through the some what crowded with rich people restaurant as she led us to a secluded room opening a door.

"This is our private couples booth and we hope you enjoy." she gave us a ninety degree bow before exiting the room closing the door behind her and I looked around amazed.

"Woah Shiwoo. This must have been hella expensive."

He chuckled as he stood there watching me with his hands in his pockets, " this is nothing compared to what you're worth aein."

I rolled my eyes at him and I walked up to him and he pulled me by the waist flush against his chest.

"You don't have to be so fancy Mr. Kim for you have already gotten into my panties." I teased smirking.

"No, but I want to. Enjoy the food tonight Nae Sarang- (my love), for I will be enjoying you tonight."

A knock on the door interrupted our little, umm-uh session and I took a seat as he answered, "hello?"

In came a guy around my age looking chiseled and dapper giving us a ninety degrees bow and I nodded in acknowledgement, "Ah yes Mr. Kim and company I will be your server for tonight's five course meal. Is there anything that I can get you?"

Hmm. Even the workers were fancy I thought as he kept glancing at me

"Besides the menu?" asked Shiwoo and the guy cleared his throat.

"Oh yes. I'm sorry hear you go. Sir and ma'am" he said handing us the menus, "to order you simply use the tablet here and your food will be delivered quickly. Enjoy your evening.

He left after giving one more bow and he glanced at me again and I smiled.

Shiwoo came and sat at the desk pouting and I rolled my eyes.

"What's the matter with you now big baby?" He ignored me as he read the menu and I used my foot to trail up his leg to his crotch, "I'm talking to you."

He sighed as he looked at me, "I think I will have to keep you in the house from now on. I don't want to have to murder every guy that looks at you. I mean I don't blame you for look at you. You are a total goddess."

I chuckled at his nonsense and rolled my eyes, "and I will have to keep you locked up too then. I see the way women look at you. Even the hostess lady, but I'm working on being secure and not let jealousy take control of me.  I mean I too don't blame them. I would look too. You should do the same."

"I'll try" he said sighing and I smiled, "but there is no guarantee that I won't break a few noses and cause a few black eyes."

"Oh baby I know. I know."

We both scanned the menu in silence weighing our options trying to decide, but literally everything on the menu looked good.

We finally decided to begin with a light  Puff Pastry for our hors d'oeuvre, a  vegetarian soup for the appetizer, a chicken salad for the third course, for the main dish he ordered Braised Short Ribs and I ordered the Creamy Spinach Stuffed Salmon in Garlic Butter and for the dessert we both ordered Soufflés with a a tower of and Macarons and he went ahead and typed into the tablet a Strawberry milk shake for me.

We sat waiting for our food engaging in light conversation when there was a knock on the door.

Our hors d'oeuvre was here and Shiwoo called them in and to be honest I expected the same guy from before, but it was now a quite beautiful lady who smiled at Shiwoo.

He too smiled at her and I looked between the two feeling a surge of jealousy, but I ignored it as she placed the plates on the table glancing at him as she bowed and left.

I took my fork from the table and  stabbed into a puff pastry taking a bite out of it as I brought it to my mouth.

"What's with the sudden passive aggressiveness?" he asked and I ignored me stabbing another as I ate.

"Nothing. I just love puff pastry."

He smirked knowing at me and I reached over the table looking him dead in the eyes as I stabbed one of his pastry, "that's mine yeobo- (darling)."

"Oh really? Here" I said taking a lick of it smashing it back down, "oops."

"Jealous now are we miss high and mighty? I could have sworn that you said a few minutes ago that you will be jealous. What has changed?" he asked picking up the smashed pastry and plopped it into his mouth, "mm. You were right. It is tasty."

I scoffed and rolled my eyes at him, "whatever."

"Come on Tally don't be like that. You know that I only have eyes for you." he coerced and I sighed giving in.

"I'm sorry I just. I don't know what happened." I said embarrassed and he held my hand massaging my palm.

"It's okay."

We enjoyed the rest of our meal that night taking and laughing and just having a good time.

It was a really good first date and he hid the bill from me when paying for it so I decided to follow Korean customs and paid for his drinks for we didn't want to end the night as yet so we went to a club.

It was quite packed, but I didn't mind for I was tipsy by the time I was on the dance floor.

The night had been going well, but it seemed that trouble followed me where ever I go for I found myself into a situation.

It was not entirely my fault though and Shiwoo didn't listen.

I'll tell you what happened and you be the judge of it okay?
