DREW

The idea for this date came partially from my brother. Pete thought it would be a great idea to recreate our first date. As much as I agree with him, I wanted to do something a little bit different.

On our first actual date, we ate a fabulous meal at an Italian restaurant and shared a bottle of wine before heading back to my apartment.

As much as I want to skip everything and drag the stubborn man home, I don’t want to rush sex this time around. The way Ryan always submitted to me in bed could make him spiral away again, and that just won’t work.

At seven P.M sharp, I'm waiting outside Savage Ink, leaning against my car. I look around because the shop is closed. I was afraid he would have Nyx send me away if I tried to pick him up from her place, so I figured I'd pick him up from work. Clearly, I shouldn't have assumed he'd be working late. Now I'm staring at the dark window like a freak. Fuck me. Now what?

"Waiting for someone?" I jump, almost sliding down the side of the car—Ryan's standing on the other side with a smirk on his face.

"Fuck, you scared me," I say, my hand on my chest, feeling like my heart's about to fall out of my asshole.

Taking a deep breath and a good look at him, I try not to laugh. I feel myself settling. I love that shirt on him. It clings to his chest and arms almost like it was painted on. It's probably bad date etiquette, but I allow my eyes to travel the rest of his body. Those tight jeans molding to his thighs and his typical dirty Converse complete the look, and what a look it is. Clenching my fist, I fight every urge in my body to stop myself from pulling him closer.

He. Is. Mine. I just need to remind him of that.

"You could've texted me to pick you up from Nyx’s, you know, since you finished earlier."

"Nah, where is the fun in that?" he asks with a shrug as he bites back his smile. My heart flutters in my chest at the sight. I'll take all the bitten-back smiles I can get.

Moving around the car, I open the passenger door and gesture for him to get inside. I watch his eyebrow raise before he steps forward and folds his long body inside. That's right, Ryan soon-to-be Cliffer, I'm going to woo the shit out of you.

We probably could walk to the restaurant, but I want to keep the mystery going, so I drive the three blocks before pulling up outside Little Roma. My eyes drift to Ryan to see if he recognizes the quaint Italian restaurant where we had our first date. Back then, we stumbled upon this place for no other reason than the fact it was still open at eleven P.M. when his set ended.

By some stroke of luck, the food was incredible. And tonight was another stunning stroke of luck.
