"OK Jord, how do I look?" I asked spinning around.

"You look great. Why are you so nervous about how you look? You're acting like you did when you went on your first date with AJ."

"Consider this Jordainne, I'm spending the night at AJ's."

"Huh?"

"God, you are such a blonde. Think about it."

"Ohhhh," Jordainne said with realization.

"Understand now?"

"Yeah I do. So you really think you're ready to do it again?"

"Yeah I think so. I know he really wants to. I can't deny him it anymore."

"I understand that, but are you ready for it."

I paused a minute.

"Yeah... Yeah, I am."

Jordainne and I looked at each other nervously when the doorbell rang. We walked downstairs and saw that Jordainne's mom had already let the guys in. Jordainne went downstairs first then I followed. AJ's eyes widened and he walked over to me with a huge smile on his face.

"Wow Kiara, you look beautiful."

I smiled at him.

"Thank you, I hoped you would like it."

"I don't know if I should let you out of the house in that. Someone might steal you away from me."

"Only if I let them. I won't do that though; I love you too much."

"That's good cause I would have to pound any guy that took you away from me."

We all walked out to the guys' cars. I said goodbye to Jordainne and started to get into AJ's car.

"Bye Kiara, remember what we talked about."

"You too," I replied as I shut the door.

"So what did you and Jordainne talk about?" AJ asked pulling out of the driveway.

"Oh nothing much, girl stuff."

"So you were talking about me huh?"

"Maybe."

"So what did you say about me?"

"I'm not going to tell you."

"Fine," AJ said pouting.

"Oh come on baby, don't be mad. I have something to ask you."

"What?"

"Can I spend the night at your house tonight?" I asked knowing that would cheer him up.

"Yeah, of course," he said excitedly as his face lit up.

"I know what you're thinking. You're so horny."

I noticed his face drop a little.

"Well, we don't have to doanything if you don't want to."

"That's ok, we can do whatever you want," I said in a seductive voice.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I'm positive"

I watched as AJ's smile grew. No doubt he was thinking perverted thoughts, but I decided to leave him alone. The rest of the ride to the restaurant was quiet except for the low hum of the radio. When we pulled into the restaurant I almost gasped; we were at one of the nicest restaurants in Orlando.

"AJ what are we doing here?"

"Eating," he said simply.

"I know that. Why are we eating here? We don't need to eat at such a fancy place."

"Kiara, shut up please. We're eating here."

"We don't have to eat here AJ. I'd be just as happy eating at a place like McDonalds. You don't have to spend a lot of money on me.

"Kiki, I want to spend a lot of money on you. We both know I can afford it. Besides, I couldn't have you looking so nice and then take you to a place like McDonalds."

"Ok,"I said giving up the fight I knew I would lose.

We got out of the car and started toward the restaurant. When we got to the door AJ took my hand gently, and led me inside.

The dinner was peaceful and filled with light conversation. The only interruptions were from the waiter. It felt nice to know that no little teenybopper girls would bother us.

After we were through, AJ and I slowly made our way out to his car. The ride back to his house was about the same as the ride to the restaurant with only the soft R&B music drifting out of the speakers.

As AJ turned on to his street, I felt my stomach tighten with nervousness. I started to have second thoughts, but knew I couldn't back out; not after I had already told AJ I wanted to be with him that night.
