Zara's pov

It's the day of the nondate, yesterday Ava and I went to get our nails done after work

Now Ava is doing my makeup and hair for me per her request

( picture of Make-up look on the top)

I asked her to make it more natural, she also did my hair in soft curls

I am so nervous for some reason, I mean this isn't anything...it's just business

I grab my bag, key, wallet, phone and head out the door, but Ava grabbed my hand before I left and handed me my lip combo and said "ya know just in case someone messes it up" and sends me a wink

"Ughhh omg Ava who kisses on the first date"

"HA, so u do think it's a date!!!!" She squeal's

"Ugh, Ava quiet! I don't know what it is okay...I'm gonna head out I love you wish me luck" I kiss her cheek and hug her

---------------------------

I get to the restaurant 'damn I feel like royalty coming her' I mumble under my breath

I get inside and head to the front check-in

"Hi I'm here for a reservation under Moretti," I say with a smile

The woman at the front desk gives me a very judgmental look as she looks me up and down...well it thought I looked nice, oh well

"Mhm yeah sweetheart that's not gonna happen sorry," she says with a fake smile

"Umm? Did I get the wrong restaurant or something?" I ask

"No no he's here, I saw him that man looked delicious, but you're just not pretty enough to be talking to a man like that so I'm doing him a favor by not letting you in," she says with a smirk

I immediately turn around and start walking to the exit...no what the hell am I doing

I turn back around and Quickly call Enzo

(Phone conversation):

Zara: hey Enzo it's Zara

Enzo: hey what's up are u here?

Zara: yes I just arrived, but the woman at the front desk won't let me enter

Enzo: don't worry Stay there I'll come over and help

Zara: thank you, and sorry I didn't know this would happen

Enzo: it's not your fault don't worry bout it just wait there I'll be there in a second

Zara: ok thank you

( end of the phone call)

I see him slowly appear and oh man does he look gorgeous, he has a nice all-black suit on and he looks perfect

He says something to the woman at the front desk, and she didn't look too happy with whatever he said

He walks over to me "hi you look beautiful" he says

"Hi thank you, you look nice as well" I smile up at him

He puts his hand out and I take it and he walks us through the restaurant and we enter an elevator?

"Aren't we gonna sit in the restaurant?" I ask confused

"There's a private roof on the top that we're gonna go up to instead" oh damn this man would make a great date, if this was one...which it's not, I need to remind myself that
