Chapter 14

Solana's POV

I'm late and I don't have anything right,how can I forget about my date,i must be losing it,sprinting downstairs.

"Hey mom , have you seen my keys,I'm late"

"Check the kitchen table"she yells

I take my keys and head to the door"I'm going out see you"and I leave the house in a rush.

••••

Thankfully im there and i check my fit in the mirror,wearing a silk white top under a black blazer associated with leather black jeans, and my burnt brown oxfords.

My locks up in a messy bun,I approached the front desk "good evening,a reservation by Aiden"

"Evening miss,please follow me this way"and she grins softly escorting me to the table.

I find Amelia sitting there,her hand supporting her chin,she looked so beautiful,having her hair down waves hugging her face,she delicately smiles waving at me.

She was wearing a black pull over sweater ,and a black tight short skirt,with brown heels.

"My my my you look so beautiful"my jaw drops I feel my mouth getting watery.

"not as gorgeous as you"she bites her lower lip.

I drink some water downing the tension,the desires and all the flirting atmosphere.

The waitress took our meal options,and brought a white wine bottle.

"How is school seems your in a lot of stress"she noticed

"It is stressful enough to be there but it's worth it"

"Indeed it is"she takes a sip adjusting her posture"where do you see yourself in five years from now"

"Well,i see myself in the job of my dreams, and having someone dear to my heart won't hurt anyone, just coexisting life struggles"I finish with a half smile

She grins wide"it's — refreshing seeing someone having everything planned for themselves, specially at a young age"

"It wasn't planned but this guy can't help it"i gesture to my head "what about you where do you see yourself,in fives years"i ask looking attentively to her facial expressions.

"I don't know,im expecting to settle down,be happy in my life,loving my crazy little monsters "she lights a cigarette

Breathing out the smoke "god i miss my teen days,they were full of nothing,no worries no one bothering your life,just being normal and in the closet"she giggles shrugging

"Yeah no thank you for me,because they weren't really that great and it's not late 90s you wouldn't want to be in my shoe"I tell replaying all the bs I went through

"Yeah it has to be a no,isn't it your last semester "

"Thankfully it is"the plates cut me short of being a total nerd.

We talk about her job more often because teenager stuff is full of drama that will take a hard pass in my opinion plus i like to hear her talking without thinking twice.

••••

"Let me drive you home"i offered

"That's nice of you,I can take a cab"

"It's late ,and I insist"my mouth curls up when she nods.

And I open the door and she elegantly takes a seat and drags the seat belt across her figure.

I get in the drivers seat and buckle up as well.

We're off the highway and all I hear is her directions along side the slow mood song.

She turns down the volume,clearing her throat"can i ask you something"

"Do ask whatever you'd like"I respond

"Okay "taking a deep breath"are you dating anyone"she asks

Okay that was too blunt,and I like where it's going

"Not yet but hopefully it will work"trying not to be so cliche sucks i just want to tell her but in afraid I'll fuck it up.

She humms"im weird sorry,but do you have someone in mind perhaps "

"No im okay with weird,and yes but she might not want a relationship at the moment"I sigh lightly hiding my disappointment

She settles back,thinking I guess and I figure out my way to her house.

After a brief silence "Yep take the first right then the second one —yes the brown full of glass one".

And i cut the engine,escorting her to the door"i look around
