As we walked to the car I felt my phone vibrating in my purse I picked it up to see who was calling me the caller ID made my heart drop it was my dad I tell Mario to go ahead and wait in the car he nodded and went and waited I swipe right to answer it "Dad"

Once we make it to the car it takes him a few seconds to talk "Athena where are you?"

I gulp. "Im in New York City dad you told me to go while you were downing alcohol like it was water" I said with a tone

His voice booms through my phone
"Athena im sorry I didn't mean it" He says, for about the thousandth time 'Sorry is all that come out his mouth.

I clench my jaw and bite the insides of my cheek. "Oh really you are? because if you were you wouldn't have hit me every night I lived in that God awful home" I spat and hung up

As I get into the car I sigh and Mario looks at me with a worried look on his face

"You look flushed what happened who was that?"

"My dad it's nothing to worry about let's go" I smile at him with a fake smile

He places his hand on my thigh I practically jump out the seat

"Im sorry I shouldn't have done that"

"It's fine we just don't know a lot about each other that's all"

"well let's get to know each other come on tell me something about yourself"

"Well you know my favorite color already so um"

"Favorite animal"

"Definitely giraffes"

"Why giraffes?" he laughs

"They're so pretty and they're colors giraffes are just so pretty I've always tooken a liking to them"

"Giraffes are.. pretty?"

"Oh come you don't think so?"

"Ehh"

"Agree to disagree" I say with a hmph and cross my arms

"You favorite color?"

"Amaranth"

"Oh come that's not a color"

"it is to look it up"

I pull out my phone and type in 'Amaranth' in Google its shade of pinkish red

"oh.."

"See I hate to say I told you so but"

"Oh shut up" I say playfully hitting his arm

He tenses up at my touch that's weird

"Were here" he said with a smile looking at me

I go to open my door but he runs around and shuts it then reopens and grabs my hand to help me out

"When you are with me you don't ever have to lift a finger doll"

"Okay" I laugh as I blush

"Reservations for Zinero" he tells the waitress

"Of course right this way" she says with a smile

As she seats at our seats she pulls out a note pad to take our order

"What can I get to drink you ma'am?"

"Just a sprite" I say

"Alright and for you handsome" She says with a smile

"A bottle of your finest wine" he said without even looking at the waitress

As she walks off to get our drinks we talked more about our favorite things and what we like
