POV: Brittany Cartel
Date: September 13, 2013
I sprayed my Love Spell perfume by Victoria Secret all over my body. Tonight Chresanto was taking me out on a date. He told me to pick any restaurant that I wanted to go and I picked Olive Garden. Nice and simple. Chresanto insisted that we go some where else since he has all the money in the world and can afford anything. I chucked when he made that statement.
"Where are you going, miss thang?" Jordan asked, opening up her laptop.
"Out with Chresanto, he's taking me on a date." I replied, doing my makeup.
"Ooh, get 'em, girla!" She exclaimed, snapping her fingers.
I laughed. "You're to much."
"You know I have to be a little extra sometimes."
"Sometimes? Are you sure not all the time?"
"Don't get throw out the window Brittany!"
"Can't throw me out the window on my first date!" I exclaimed.
"Who said so? You and Chresanto will be having your first date at the hospital!"
"Hospital crackers are pretty tasty."
Jordan burst out laughing. "Oh my goodness, Brittany, you play to much but anyways, what time is Chresanto coming to get you?"
"He should be here in a few minutes." I said, slipping on my nude pumps.
"Where are y'all going?"
"I say we just go to Olive Garden but he wants to go somewhere expensive."
"Girl you better let him treat you while he wants to."
"I'm perfectly fine with going to Olive Garden. I don't need to be impressed or anything."
"You got a good head on your shoulders, Brittany. You'll be a loyal one."
I shrugged. "Don't really do relationships."
She groaned. "My name is Brittany and I don't do relationships." Ivory said in a voice that didn't sound like me at all.
"Bish whet?" I said, acting like Toni Romiti. "I don't sound like that."
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. "Must be your boo, I'll go get it."
I checked myself out in the mirror once more before grabbing my all black clutch and fluffing my curls out once more. I walked into the living room and saw Chresanto standing there holding a bouquet of deep red roses.
"You look beautiful, Brittany." Chresanto said, pecking my forehead.
I was wearing a black dress that stopped a couple of inches above my thigh. I paired it with my favorite nude pumps and red lipstick. I also curled my hair and threw on a couple of bracelets, rings, and a gold necklace. Not being cocky it anything but, I do look good.
"Thank you, Chresanto. You look pretty good yourself."
"These are for you by the way." He said, handing me the flowers.
I took a whiff of the flowers and the smelled so good. "Aw, thank you. I'll be right back, let me go put them in a vase."
"Let me run down the rules for you," I heard Jordan say from the bathroom.
I giggled while I placed the vase on my nightstand. "Stop acting like my mother, Jordan!"
She playfully rolled her eyes. "You better stop getting smart with me before I don't let your little ass go!"
I bust out laughing. "Girl bye. I'll see you later, don't wait up on me."
"Oh no I'll be up all night waiting for you!"
I grabbed Chresanto's hand. "Bye, Jordan!"
"Have fun you guys! Don't don't forget what I told you, Chresanto!"
"Oh Lord, what did she tell you?" I asked Chresanto.
He chuckled. "That I wasn't allowed to touch you in any kind of way and to have you back home at ten o' clock not ten o' one or nine fifty nine but ten o' clock on the dot."
"Don't listen to anything she says. She's crazy."
"Yeah, I kind of noticed that." He said, driving off.
"Stop the car." I said.
"Why?"
"Just stop it."
I reached over and pulled his seatbelt over him and clicked it with the other part. "What is wrong with you people down here? Do y'all not like wearing seatbelts?"
"Did you really make me stop the car to put on my seatbelt?"
"Yes because I care about your safety."
He chuckled and held my hand while driving with the other one. "Thank you, babe."
I blushed. "So, where are we going?"
"This spot I know in Jacksonville. It's really fancy."
"We're going all the way down to Jacksonville?!"
"Yeah, they have the best restaurants down there."
"Do you not realize how far Jacksonville is from here?"
"Two hours, c'mon. That's not long. If you're gonna be with me you have to have the best of the best, baby."
I playfully rolled my eyes. "Shut up with yo' cocky ass. How do you know I want to be with you?"
"Simple, you wouldn't be going out with me right now."
"I'm going out you to be nice and friendly."
He snickered. "Dressed like that? You wanted to come, boo. Don't play."
"Yeah, whatever," I said, slipping off my heels. Might as well get comfortable for this ride. "Do you have any extra bottles of water with you?"
"Look in the back," He replied turning on the light. "There's soda and everything."
I quickly grabbed a can of Sprite and a trail mix. I clicked the button to turn on Chresanto's radio and turned on 95.5. He scowled at me but I just laughed at him. It's cute when guys get offended by girls doing little things like touching their radio.
I nodded my head to the Chris Brown song that was playing on the radio while sipping on my Soda and eating trail mix. Every now and then Chresanto would hold my hand or rub my thigh. Lord, did it feel good.
"How much longer, Chresanto?" I whined. My butt was starting to hurt and I was getting so uncomfortable. I can't be seated down somewhere for too long. I start to get pouty.
"Only about forty five more minutes. I promise it will be quick."
I blew a raspberry. "I'm taking a nap."

"Brittany, Brittany wake up."
"Are we here?" I asked.
"Yeah, we're finally here." Chresanto responded.
I slid my pumps on and grabbed my clutch. Chresanto held his hand out to help me. We both walked inside of this restaurant called The Sorrento Italian Restaurant. Once inside, I was amazed at all the paintings and decor that they had around the restaurant. You can tell that it was really fancy and relaxing just by walking inside.
"Hello, ma'am. I'm listed under the August reservation." Chresanto spoke to the lady up front.
"Aha, here you are, sir. Right this way, please."
"Your waitress will be here in just a few minutes, enjoy."
"Chresanto, I'm going to go freshen up in the bathroom quickly. I'll be right back." I spoke.
He nodded his head and pulled our his phone. I found my way to the bathroom and used it first. Then I washed my hands and splashed some cold water on my face since I was feeling a little groggy. I reapplied my lipstick and mascara the fluffed my curls out a few times.
"Sorry if I took so long." I told Chresanto.
"You're cool. The waitress should be coming in a few. I told her to come back in a few minutes since you were in the bathroom."
I picked up the menu and lightly gasped at the prices. Twenty five dollars just for a grilled cheese sandwich? I can make that at home!"
"These prices are ridiculous." I muttered under my breath.
"Hello, Ma'am and Sir. I'll be your waitress for tonight. Can I start you off with drinks?"
"Yes, may I have just a water with a lemon inside?" I asked. It ain't say nothing about no soda on this menu. Oh my lord.
"And you, sir?"
"I'll have a raspberry lemonade with extra ice, please."
She nodded her head. "I'll come back in a ready to take your orders later."
"So what are you getting?" Chresanto asked me.
"Their chicken parmigiana looks really good but it's so expensive!"
"Don't worry about their prices, okay? I got everything."
Our waitress came back and order our food. Within thirty minutes, our food was out on the table looking great.
We made a good conversation and everything. I told Chresanto about my home life and he told me about his. We joked around and everything. I had a really good time.
"Their food was on point." I said as we left the restaurant.
"Yeah, it really is. I love that place."
"So how many other girls have you taken there excluding me."
He snickered. "Just one."
"Mhm, ya' ass better not be lying."
"I promise, I'm not." He said, opening the door for me.
"Are we going back home now?" I asked, fastening my seatbelt.
"No, just one more stop. It's just down the street."
We pulled up to what looked like a lake. Chresanto opened the door for me once again and held my hand. We walked down the pathway of the lake.
"Wow, it looks so beautiful under the stars." I said.
"Just like you, right?"
I blushed. "Thank you, Chresanto. You're such a gentlemen."
I stop at the wooden railing behind the beautiful lake. Chresanto wrapped his hands around my wait and laid his chin on my shoulder. For a couple of seconds we both just gazed down at the beautiful water, not speaking at all. This scenery was to die for.
"Chresanto."
"Yes?"
"Why'd you bring me here?"
"I just wanted to show you how beautiful it looks around here at night time. I always told myself that I was going to bring a special person down here with me one day."
"I'm special to you?" I asked.
"Of course you are. In the little bit of time that I've known you, you became very special to me."
I blushed. "Wow."
"Brittany." He said.
"Yes?" I said, lifting my head up.
He kissed me passionately. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back. His lips were so soft. It felt like I was kissing a cloud. His kissed only lasted for about a minute, it felt like it lasted for lifetime.
He looked me in my eyes and said, "Brittany, I like you a lot."
