The First Date

Hannah Pov

Hannah's heart raced a little as she walked out of the office, glancing toward the parking lot. When her eyes landed on the sleek, black Silverado gleaming under the sunlight, she couldn't help but smile. Khris was leaning casually against the truck, his arms crossed, a sly grin on his face.

Khris: "Hey, babygirl."

Hannah: playfully "What's up?"

Khris: "Oh, it's like that? No hug or nothing?"

Hannah: "Nahhh, you fake."

Khris: "I guesssssssss." He smirked as he opened the door for her and helped her into the truck, closing it behind her.

Sliding into the driver's seat, Khris glanced at her, feigning a pout.

Khris: "So, you ain't gonna talk to me, mamas? What'd I do?"

Hannah: silent, pretending to ignore him.

Khris: "Stop playing, Aria." He reached over and started tickling her sides, making her squirm and laugh.

Hannah: "Bruh! I ain't heard from you since Monday, Joel. It's Friday. You're supposed to be trying to be my bestie!"

Khris: grinning "Aww, you missed me, boo?"

Hannah: "Missed you? Boy, you hung up on me! Got me all messed up."

Khris: "I'm sorry, boo. I had to do some trainings this week at the gym."

Hannah: skeptically "Mhm, rightttt."

Khris: laughing "Let me make it up to you."

Hannah: "How?"

Khris: "Let me take you out for your birthday."

Hannah: "Nope. Ima be with my mom and the church. We're going to the Judgement House. Which reminds me, I need to get tickets."

Khris: smirking and holding up two tickets "Look what I got."

Hannah: "Oh, so who were you planning to go with?"

Khris: "The most beautiful girl in the world."

Hannah: rolling her eyes but smiling "Well, since you put it like that, I guess I'll just get tickets for everyone else."

Khris: "You got plans after? Or can we go eat?"

Hannah: "I gotta help at church before we leave, and I'll probably be driving the van. But you can ride with me."

Khris: "Oh, so you're letting me meet Ma Dukes?"

Hannah: laughing "Yeah, she can meet you, bestie."

Khris: "Oh, so you think Mom-in-law's gonna like me?"

Hannah: "She likes everyone, but yeah, she's the least of your worries. Ima let you meet my kids and my whole family to see if you can make it out of the bestie zone."

Khris: "Sounds like a job interview."

Hannah: grinning "It issss."

They pulled up to Yuki's Sushi House, and Hannah's eyes lit up.

Hannah: "Oh my gosh! This is my favorite restaurant! Are you stalking me? I'm so excited!"

She reached for the door, but Khris quickly locked it, hopping out and opening it for her.

Hannah: "Extra much, but I'll allow it."

Inside, she greeted the staff warmly before they sat down.

Khris: "How often do you come here?"

Hannah: "Only every Saturday at the same time. I love sushi."

Khris: "Me too. It's one of my favorite foods, besides pasta."

Hannah: "Okay, let's say our favorite pasta on three. One, two, three—"

Both: "Spaghetti!"

Their eyes widened before they burst out laughing.

Hannah: "I'm being punked. How often can you eat spaghetti?"

Khris: "Every day, all day."

Hannah: "Wait, this is make or break for our developing ship. With or without sugar?"

Khris: scrunching his face in disgust "Without! My major pet peeve is when people make meat taste like sugar."

Hannah: nodding "Same. That's nasty. I don't want no—"

Both: "Sweet meat!"

They stared at each other before laughing so hard they drew the attention of the nearby tables.

Hannah: "I'm not gonna lie, this is the best date I've ever had, and we haven't even ordered drinks yet."

Khris: "Well, hopefully, you'll let me take you on some more."

Hannah: "Hold on now. I told you—you gotta meet everyone first. Something about this feels too good."

Khris: "It almost feels like fate."

Hannah: "Like God answering prayers. I was thinking about stepping out for my birthday next week."

Khris: "Oh, nah, none of that. You'll be with me all weekend."

Hannah: "I have plans Saturday with my girls."

Khris: "I like plans."

Hannah: "How about I'll talk to them and see what they say?"

Khris: "Mhm. Ima just tell your mom when I meet her what y'all were planning to do."

Hannah: laughing "Not you being a snitch already, and it's the first date."

Khris: "The first of many."

After dinner, Khris pulled up to Hannah's job to drop her off.

Khris: "So, Ms. Aria, you gonna call me when you get off? Or are you still mad at me?"

Hannah: "Nah, I enjoy talking to you—and now being around you. So if you call, I'll answer."

Khris: "So, can I have my hug now?"

Hannah stepped up and hugged him, neither of them letting go for a long moment. When she finally pulled away, she kissed him on the cheek.

Hannah: "Bye, Mr. Jackson."

Khris: grinning wide "Oh my God, I'm never washing my cheek now." He broke into a goofy victory dance.

Hannah: laughing and shaking her head "You look crazy. I'm walking away now."

Khris: "Alrighty, bae. I like when you do that."

Hannah turned back to playfully pop him on the shoulder before
running inside, leaving Khris smiling like he'd just won the lottery.

that night hannah was really tired so she decided not to call him as she rolled over to sleep she heard her phone ding with a text
Khris: goodnight Ma, Sweet dreams
