Chapter 23

I paced the entire apartment while waiting for Ariel to get ready for our date; I felt giddy and nervous like a teenager. It has been a long time since I did this. My last date was in my eighteenth with Lena. I pushed the memory away when I heard the soft clicks of Ariel’s heels. The moment I saw her, she stole my breath away.

She looked gorgeous in her red silk dress. Those red fabric drapes embraced her curvy figure perfectly, alongside that gorgeous V-neck that outlined her perky breasts. And lied across a banded waist, with a full maxi skirt that has a sexy side slit.

Her long caramel leg showing, teasing my eye, and the metallic leather sandals were the best compliment to the complete look. My mind short circuit, I couldn’t speak or even breathe for a minute.

Someone cleared their throat. “Ahem, from your silence and your stunned face. I think I did a good job.” Lola’s voice broke my trance. I cleared my throat.
