Angie dusted Bella's cheek with a light brown powder before combing her thick jet black hair that never seemed to straighten out, always standing in a puff. She tied it up to the back with a black ribbon and then brushed her eye lashes with a mascara brush. Next she drew a perfect brow with a concealer and brushed the little hair at the front with a gel. It was very simple but Bella looked mortified.

" what's with that horrid look on your face" a tinge of anger in her voice as she questioned Bella " you look amazing so you better get used to it"

" I know but this isn't my thing. Makeup?? Nahhh. " she explained as she wiped her face with a towel leaving Angie to stare in absolute disappointment." I know your tryna help but I got this. This isn't a date " She chuckled lightly on the last sentence.

The door bell rings twice followed by the sound of the door opening and the voice of Bella's father talking warmly with Don.

" You must be Don. Nice to finally meet you son. Heard you were taking my angel out " he spoke light heartedly. " just make sure you bring her home before nine thirty. The world isn't safe anymore. Now you two have fun alright " he let out a laugh way too loud that it startled the cat. A hand on Don's shoulder as he led him into the spacious living area. Suddenly, his tone turns dead serious.

" Now if you as much as lay a finger on my daughter or have any dirty plans for tonight you better drop it because if she comes home in bad shape and I hear the slightest utter of your name I will not hesitate to wrangle the very life out of you "

A shiver ran through Don and for a moment he forgot to breathe. Her dad smiled and directed him to the sofa making him even more tensed. He sat opposite him making slight conversations as they watched the sports channel.

Bella descended down the stairs dressed in her peach gown with her hair tied up tight at the middle without the ribbons this time dragging her face bringing out the perfect outlines, giving her a slight cat eye. She wore a pink contact lens to pop up her outfit and black sandals to match. A little kitty bag to compliment her look making Don and her dad drop their jaws, both of them speechless.

The three of them stared at each other, different thoughts in their heads.

" I should not let her go out like this. That gown is way too short, a lot if guys would be out for her " her dad thought

"did she dress up just for me? does she like me? " eyes sparkling as he entertained the thought "but darn she is hot!! I might just be the luckiest bastard on earth "

" do I look that bad " she panicked within her. " should have gone with the makeup but who gives a fuck anyway. He should be lucky I said yes" she reaffirmed herself.

" you look stunning my angel " he finally found his tongue " but are you sure about that gown. I mean... "

" it's alright dad. Quit being such a worry wart. Doesn't suite you at all "

Bella hugged him briefly surprising herself and him.

" Have a blast angel " he kissed her cheek before turning to Don with a friendly smile " don't forget what I said Don"

The lad stiffened up with the warning.

" Dad go easy on him " Bella chuckled lightly as she waved goodbye to Angie who sat on the stairs watching the trio.

" I should head home too" Angie joined the two who were already waiting on the porch.

" Grace would be out in a second.She had to hit the loo" Angie explained as she noticed the questioning look that was thrown at her.

" who's grace " Don inquired but his question answered itself as Grace walked gracefully towards them.

She had painted her lips a bright red color and had a spray of lavender oil on her. She flashed a seductive smile at Don earning a fluster.

" Hi Don. Heard so much about you from my two favorite people " she extended her hand

He shook her lightly with a smile " and I have heard nothing about you "

" that's fine. Just got back from London so I have been scarce lately but you will be seeing me around for a couple of months. At least until daddy signs the contract with F&K. His company would be their sole distributor "

She rambled on about her travels around the world and her family's wealth until she was cut short by Don.

" wish I could stay for a chat Grace but we are running late. I'll see you around "

He grabbed Bella's hand,pulling her away from Grace's flimsy convo.

"That girl sure talks a lot " he brushed his hands through his hair before sitting at the table.

A waiter dressed in black and white with a red bow tie showed up with a menu

" what would you order my good man" he asked with a hint of Irish accent

" anything the lady desires

" I would like an expresso and..... " she tilted her head to think "um... Just an expresso for now "

" Sadly I don't drink that. A latte if you may"

He bowed slightly before leaving to get their orders.

" what sort of fancy geek is he " she joked mildly

" Apparently he seems to want to impress the beautiful lady seated " he teased

" stop it " she laughed "am not that pretty and am sure that is Part of his job anyway "

" sure it is"

The waiter returned with their orders.

" Have you made up your mind madamé"

" oui! " she played along "Je voudrais des spaghettis et des boulettes de viande s'il vous plaît"

His eyes widened briefly before he took a bow and exited

Don was besides himself with surprise. He marvelled at her beauty as she busied herself on her phone.

This is going to be the best night of our lives. He mused to himself.
