CHEF'S DELIGHT

Chapter 5 - First Date Part 1

My two crazy friends dragged me to my apartment and started rummaging inside my closet. Everything was on the floor and bed, and I just stood there looking at them.

" Aha!" Nat exclaimed.

" Why are you hiding a gorgeous dress like this at the back of your closet?!" She glared at me and showed me a little red dress that I bought ages ago at Forever 21.

" Because I don't have anywhere to wear it to?" I answered reluctantly.

" Well, now you have! You are going to wear this, and there's no room for argument. Now, all we have to is find the perfect underwear and shoes." She said and laid the dress on the bed.

" Okay, time for a shower and shave that legs, and you know where else, as smooth as possible. We'll find you a perfect panty. I think you shouldn't wear a bra with this dress." Becky pushed me to my bathroom and closed the door.

It took me an hour before I went out of the shower. I scrubbed and shaved my whole body and made sure to rub after-shower cream all over my body. When I emerged, the two attacked me and shoved me to my chair in front of my vanity mirror.

" Finally! I thought you fell asleep inside already! We have an hour left before Prince Charming arrives. The best hairdo would be a french knot with your dress and let a few hair drop at the sides. Let's get started!" Becky is the hairstylist of our group, while Nat is the makeup artist, and I am their guinea pig.

For 40 minutes, the two pushed and pulled me from one side to the other, making me dizzy and stressed. Then, when they've finished, they pulled me to my feet to put on my red thong and red dress.

The dress feels like a second skin when it touches my body. It fits perfectly to me, and it made me look sexy and alluring. I bought this dress because I like the color and the style. It's a sleeveless dress and reaches mid-thigh.

Nat found my red stiletto and ordered me to wear it. When I'm all dressed, I looked at myself in the mirror and gasped. I looked different. I looked sophisticated and sexy.

" God! We're good! We've created a bombshell." Beck and Nat high-five.

" Girl, if Mr. Hottie doesn't bring you home after seeing you like this, then I think he's gay. I'm a girl, but I would bang you if I could. You look hot, momma!" Nat said and slapped my butt. We were all laughing when the doorbell rang.

" I'll go get it. Get ready because I think your man can't wait to see you." Becky winked and went out of my room to open the door. Suddenly I felt nervous and excited at the same time. Nat handed me my purse and placed one condom inside, and grinned.

I rolled my eyes at her and exited the door. Becky was talking to Luke by the door when they heard us coming. Luke gasped and stared at me intensely. I blushed a little bit, but I liked his reaction.

Becky stepped aside and made room for me. When I stood in front of him, he reached for my hand and smiled. Then he kissed my cheek lingeringly.

" You look great, babe." He whispered and kissed my temple.

" Thanks, you look great, too," I replied shyly.

" So girls, we'll leave you first, and I promise to bring Cinderella home before midnight." He joked and grinned at my two tongue-tied friends.

Who wouldn't be tongue-tied? Luke looked so handsome in his blue long sleeves shirt and dark jeans. He brushed his unruly hair and smelled heavenly.

" Oh, no, no need to bring her home. Please bring her home with you! We insist!" Nat declared. I looked at her in horror and glared at her. Luke laughed so hard, and I blushed even more.

" Okay, crazies, time for you to go as well, so I can lock my door. You don't have to wait for me. Go home and bother your boyfriends." I pulled the two out. They complained, but I glared at them, and they conceded begrudgingly.

Luke chuckled, and I shook my head. I know why they don't want to go home yet. They want to see If Luke would bring me back before midnight as promised. These two sneaky bitches wish to know if I will get laid tonight.

We all went down and went our separate ways. They went to their cars and us to Luke's car. We said our goodbyes and drove off to wherever Luke is taking me.

" Where are we going?" I asked him curiously because instead of going to the city where the finest restaurants are, we go the separate way.

" It's a surprise." He replied with a wink and a grin.

" You're not taking me to the jungle and bury my body there, are you?" I joked at him, and he laughed so loud. I love hearing him laugh, and he looks so carefree and happy.

" No, baby. I wouldn't dare hurt you, or your two crazy friends will hunt me down and kill me." He smiled, then reached for my hand and kissed it. He didn't let go after that. I liked the feel of his warm hand in mine.

We stayed like that until I noticed we are traveling outside of town already. There are trees and no more houses in sight. So where the hell is this man taking me?

" Ahm, Luke, are you sure you're not burying me somewhere? We are outside of town already, and this is like the forest." I asked him again, a little bit nervous that I might be right on my first assumptions.

" Relax, babe. You will like where we are going, I promise." He said and winked at me. Damn those blue eyes!

Then suddenly, he took a blindfold from his pocket and gave it to me. I looked at him, puzzled at what he wants me to do with it.

" Please put it on, babe. I don't want to ruin my surprise." He said, smiling. I raised my brows at him but followed his instruction. I put on the blindfold and trust him.

Then moments later, the car stopped. I heard him went out of the car and soon opened my side. He reached for my hand guided me out. I can listen to the waves of the ocean, and the cool breeze touched my skin.

" Are we at the beach?" I asked him, having trouble walking in my heels because we are walking on sand. Then he kneeled and took my shoes off from my feet. That's my answer. We are on the beach!

" I'm taking off your blindfolds now, okay?" He whispered, and I nodded. Then when it was off, I slowly opened my eyes and gasped at the view. There, in the center, was a small tent with a table and chairs. Small candles are leading to the spot, and flower petals are scattered everywhere.

" Luke, it's beautiful!" I looked at him in surprise and amazement.

" I prepared it just for you, babe." He replied, smiling down at me. I looked up at him and smiled back. His gestures touched me. I felt special. This man will make my assignment so challenging to achieve.
