As Kyedae walked over, she noticed that Josh was now positioned by the passenger's door. She was slightly confused, but his intentions would soon become clear. As she approached, Josh grinned subtly and opened her door, waiting patiently for her to climb into the vehicle.
Kyedae was a bit surprised by his pleasant gesture, but she still cooed in response. "Oh my, what a gentleman! Thank you, sir," she said with a kind smile.
Once she was seated, Josh closed her door and walked around the car to the driver's side. He climbed in and readjusted his seat and the steering wheel from their wacky positions that accommodated their earlier shenanigans. Kyedae showed him how to open the gate with a remote button that was attached to the keys.
"Now that's pretty fancy," Josh commented as he watched the driveway gate open in the rearview mirror.
"You think so?" Kyedae asked as she stared at the burly man beside her. "I think it's just one of those electronic fobs. You know, like the ones most people have with a garage door?"
Josh chuckled. "Right.. no, I was kind of referring to the size of the gate. It's huge!"
"Yeah, well.. we need it to keep all the creeps out! I mean, think about who lives here," Kyedae replied. "Now, imagine how many perverts out there would sneak in if they had the chance!"
"Hah, you mean.. perverts like me?" Josh laughed out as he put the car in reverse and began to back out of the driveway.
Kyedae giggled back. "I guess so, hehe. Our defenses weren't good enough to keep you out," she said as she hugged Josh's right arm and snuggled up next to him. She could smell his cologne and felt his muscular arms with her tight embrace. This combination of senses sent a slight shiver down her body. "I'm.. glad that they weren't. I'm glad you slipped through the cracks, and.. took advantage of our kindness," she whispered as she watched Josh drive through the city. "I'm glad that you're here," she finished off with.
Josh could only smile in return.
Several minutes later, they arrived at the much-anticipated restaurant: Marilyn's Bistro. It was nearly breath-taking on the outside. The entrance was designed with a sleek, red carpet-esque presentation, and there was a large sign with the restaurant's name on the front that was lit up by spotlights.
Kyedae squealed in excitement as Josh pulled up to the front entrance. A valet was waiting for them to confirm their reservation. Josh exited the car and handed the keys over before circling around and opening Kyedae's door for her. He held out his hand to help her out, which she gladfully accepted. They locked arms and made their way inside. The interior somehow put the outside display to shame. The dining room was full of low-hanging lights, expensive looking decor, and very fancy seating. The entirety of the south wall was glass, which provided an excellent view of the busy city.
"You have no idea how long I've wanted to come here!" Kyedae said excitedly.
A beautiful, well-dressed waitress escorted them to their table before supplying their menus. Once she confirmed that it was their first time dining there, she explained how the five-course meal would work and what a few of their signature dishes were.
When she left to give them time to decide, Kyedae quickly looked over to Josh and whispered, "Five-course meal?!"
Josh matched her surprised energy. They ordered soon after and spent the night learning more about each other. They discussed each other's childhoods and how they got to where they were. Josh revealed a few embarrassing date stories that Kyedae was fascinated by.
"There's no fuckin-" Kyedae caught herself and looked around. In a quieter tone, she continued. "There's no freaking way that happened!"
Josh raised his right hand to portray his honesty. "I swear! It was an absolute trainwreck! She started babbling about crystals and how she could see into the future, which I could've ignored, but then she started reading my palms and somehow, that convinced her that I was going to die soon." Kyedae looked on, completely engrossed with Josh's story. "That's all she could talk about, so I knew I had to get out of there. But the waiter kept forgetting to bring the damn bill. I asked him for it three times before I just gave up and snuck out. I excused myself to the bathroom, and for whatever reason, I had a fake mustache in my pocket. Must've been from a costume party or something, but I didn't question it. I promptly put it on and used it to slip past everyone on my way out," Josh said with a big laugh, which Kyedae matched.
"God, that kinda makes me wish I had embarrassing dating experiences," Kyedae replied. "I was kind of a nerd in high school and didn't go out much, hah."
They continued swapping stories as plates of food filled their table. The night was full of gourmet cuisine, contagious laughter, and witty banter. Their chemistry was undeniable and Kyedae noticed it right away.
The enamored couple seemed to be an outlier among the other reserved patrons that they were surrounded by. Kyedae had to catch herself multiple times when her giggle was too loud, which only caused her to giggle more out of embarrassment.
An unquestionable sexual tension also filled the air every time one of the two made a suggestive joke.
"Jesus, I am absolutely stuffed," Kyedae remarked as she sat back after finishing her medium rare steak.
Josh looked at her and replied, "No, not yet you aren't. Tonight, though, you will be."
"Oh yeah?" Kyedae replied with a sexy stare. "What does that mean, exactly?"
Josh only smirked and shrugged off her question. Kyedae's cheeks reddened a bit. They hadn't really discussed her virginity at all that day. Perhaps he just assumed it was his to take.
At times, Kyedae took advantage of the long table cloths and slipped her foot out of her heels before stretching out to rub Josh's leg. She did this specifically when he was talking and acted like nothing was wrong, which drove Josh crazy.
By the time they finished their desserts, the pair could hardly wait to leave. When it came time to pay for the bill, Kyedae quickly apologized. "Shoot, I forgot.. uhm," she said awkwardly. She was obviously the one in a better financial position between the two, and the bill in front of them looked like it would cost an arm and a leg. She continued, "I can take care of-"
Josh swiftly cut her off. "No, it's okay. I got it." He reached into his pocket and took out a wallet that Kyedae quickly recognized. He pulled out a credit card and handed it to the waitress.
Kyedae waited for her to leave before whispering, "You.. sneaky fucker!" She giggled out. "When on earth did you grab Tyson's wallet? I never saw you do that!"
Josh smirked in response. "It was just laying on the ground. Must've fallen out of his pocket at some point, hah."
