couple. After talking with Layla, and seeing Kade really be himself, I think we're ready to take things a step further, I just hope I didn’t make him wait too long. I know I’m not the easiest person to love.
I walk out into the kitchen and spot Kade and James sitting at the breakfast bar together. When I walk up they both glance over.
“Hey, James, mind if I steal Kade for a minute?” I ask, my voice coming out a little croaky.
James raises an eyebrow at me, before nodding with a smile and departing.
“What’s up, beautiful?” Kade asks, turning around, and giving me all of his attention. I love it when he calls me beautiful.
“I was wondering if you wanted to go on a date tonight?” I blurt out, the words coming out rushed.
Gender equality and all that, women can so ask men out.
Kade looks surprised, and slightly amused. “Sure. Where would you like to go?”
“I was thinking we could go for dinner and a movie?” I ask. Way to be cliché, Nikki.
“I’d love to,” he says, smiling widely now. “What time do you wanna go?”
“Seven? The movies always start at about eight thirty, so we could eat and then go.”
Before he can answer, I move towards him, grabbing his face in my hands and bringing my lips to his. I kiss him greedily, my tongue battling with his. He groans deep in his throat, and I pull back with a small smile. “I’m ready to try, if you still want to,” I tell him in a gentle voice.
Kade immediately stands up gripping me by my ass, and lifting me in the air. “Fucking finally!” he booms out, laughing, planting sloppy kisses on my neck.
“Hey, what’s going on?” James asks as he comes sauntering in.
“Nikki and I are going steady,” he says in a serious tone, his lips twitching. I burst out laughing. Going steady- like they used to say in the eighties or something.
James smirks. “About fucking time!” He shakes his head at us, exasperated.
Kade kisses me a little more, then reluctantly lets me go so we can get ready. I take forever; I can’t decide what to wear. After a while I get frustrated and decide on a black chiffon dress that is short in the front and long in the back. It’s one of my favorites and a different take on the classic LBD. I walk out of my room, ready for our date. I see Kade standing in the living room talking to James. When he sees me, his face lights up like a kid at Christmas. I go up to him and slide my arm around his waist. “Ready to go?”
“Yeah, beautiful. I’m ready. I’ve been ready.”
We walk into the restaurant hand in hand for our official date. I’m a little nervous, but Kade seems completely at ease. We finish our food while chatting, laughing, and having a really good time. We order dessert, Kade orders enough to feed an army, and I order a chocolate sundae. While we're waiting for it to arrive, Kade’s phone rings. He glances at the screen, sighs, but still answers.
“Hey, Ashley, what’s up?” he says. Ashley. What a mood kill. The woman can’t leave Kade alone.
“No, I can’t. I’m busy tonight.”
“Ashley, I said not tonight, I’m out on a date with my girl.”
“Yes, Ashley, my girl.”
I can hear her voice get louder. Wonder what the hell she’s saying.
“Yes, it’s Nikki. We finally made it official; she finally got her head out of her ass.” Kade chuckles and I glare at him. Pfft, head out of my ass, yeah, right. I hear more yelling. Then I look up, and Kade is staring quizzically at his phone.
“Well, that’s a first, she hung up on me,” he says, surprised.
“Still don’t believe me she wants you?” I deadpan.
Kade looks at me as if I’m being silly. “She doesn’t want me, Nikki, she’s just trying to look out for me.”
Yeah, sure, tell yourself that. I swear! I’m not going to let this ruin our first night as a couple.
“Ready to go to the movie?” I ask, smiling up at him once we finish our dessert.
“I’m sorry, Nikki, I’m gonna take you home, okay? I better
