Learn The Game

TATUM

He had a white buttoned up white shirt that was loosely tucked into his dark navy blue jeans. He was holding a black jean jacket in his hand. With black shiny shoes, I couldn't tell what kind of shoes they were, through they looked expensive. And on his right wrist he was wearing a black watch. His hair was nicely combed and his quiff hair was styled nicely. 

He and I were to busy looking at each other, that we forgot that there was an awkward silence between us. "Your here... on time." I sighed as if I haven't breathed in forever, through I gave a welcoming smile.

He smiled back. "I did say I was going to pick you up at six." He winked which I was going to blurt out laughing a bit, as if his words were a joke but I held it in. "Well if your ready to go than we should go ahead and go to something romantic." He smiled with mystery in his eyes, as if it was going to cast a spell on me to follow the big bad wolf. 

I grabbed my purse full of objects inside, and walked out the door locking it. He looked at me in the eyes if I was forgetting anything else, I just showed a smile letting him know that I was ready. 

When we walked out he was heading towards a cream, silver colored Bugatti. He nodded his head towards the car motioning me to get in the car. We were driving down the road with out a word leaving our lips. It was strange, I thought Alfred would be very pushy about everything. Through I felt like I had to start the conversation first off because its a date, and second off silence is like being deaf to me. 

"So where are we heading to? Is it never land?" I smiled by my own little joke.

He looked straight forward at the road, he seemed focused almost. "It's a surprise." 

It was silent again he said nothing else which I pushed to start a conversation again. "Why are you so focused?" I leaned forward to see if there was any problems in the road ahead, there wasn't.

"I'm trying to... drive... safe." He said as if he was embarrassed by those words. 

"How do you usually drive then?" As I was re-positioning in my seat.

"To the point that Clay wants to throw up." He said dully. 

"I'm sure I'll be fine, I have a high tolerance with not throwing up." I laughed a bit, and he smiled.

After that he was going over the speed limit taking sharp turns, he was driving like he was on a rampage. How did this guy get his drivers licences? Soon we arrived at some sort of restaurant, and I was right it was fancy. I stepped out of the door, and Alfred did the same. We both shut our doors at the same time. He stood by the car waiting for me to catch up with him. When I did he looked into my eyes with a unbalanced emotion in his eyes.

"Are you okay?" I asked with worry, yet straight-forward.

He cleared his throat and put his arm around my waist, I sucked in air between my teeth shocked by his movement. He had noticed my sudden reaction, and looked at me confused yet amused. "What I can't put my arm around you, it's suppose to be a date." He chuckled quietly.

When we reached the entrance standing in front of us was a young man at a stand desk with menus laying there.  "Bonjour, what a lovely couple." He smiled at us with happiness. 

"Oh... were not a-" I spoke with unsteadiness, but then Alfred tighten his arm around my waist making our sides hit each other. I cleared my throat. "Thank you." I smiled at him with ease, through I was ready to punch Alfred in the face.

We walked over towards the table and sat across from each other. The man handed us our menus than went off giving us a moment to discuss what we would want for our meal. I immediately put my menu straight up so I wouldn't have to look at Alfred.  

He chuckled lightly. "Playing hide-go-seek now are you." He said with humor yet with passion and was gentle. 

I continued to look at the menu through I lowered it a bit so I peak through my lashes to glance at him. "Maybe." I started to bit the inside part of my cheek as I read through the menu. 

Before Alfred could say another remark the young waiters man came back. "So have you too decided on a drink yet." He smiled at us with his note pad out. I was about to say water, but Alfred decided to speak first and of course for me. 

"Yes, we would like to have the Chateau Margaux 2009 Balthazar, please." He looked the young man in the eyes like a young responsible gentleman would do, through we all know he isn't.

The waiters laughed a bit, with a little french in there he spoke. "Oh you would want to pull out a special one for you lady. Is this a special night for you too?" He looked at the both of us smiling with glee. 

Alfred put his hand out on the table for me to reach, it would be awkward for me not to in front of this nice young man. When I did Alfred wrapped his hand over mine, the warmth radiating off to my cold hand. I looked up at the waiter that was smiling from ear to ear. "Yes it is a special night for the both of us." I smiled widely up at him, and the young man shook his head and left to retrieve the wine that Alfred had said. 

"Of course this night is important to you because this is the first date you've ever been on." He smiled with his white teeth than winking. 

I pulled back my hand, and his eyes widen a bit. "No, it's because I didn't want to make a situation become awkward for the waiter." I looked back at the menu already finding what my meal was going to be. Through I started to think how he knew the wine, because he honestly doesn't look like the type of guy to know about wine. "How did you know about the wine?" I looked hi dead in the eye hoping he would tell me, and to notice if anything strange would happen like it did back at my hotel room earlier.
