Black Rose

Chapter 3

A few minutes pass, before Robin and another waiter walks through the door with their food.

"Thank you so much." Aviana smiles. "No problem, enjoy." Robin says before they leave. Everyone starts eating.

"Rowan do you also live in Denny-Blaine?" Mallory asks, able to make more conversation thanks to the wine boosting her confidence. "No, I live in Queen Anne." She nods.

"You two rich guys are quite intimidating, no offense, it's a compliment." She giggles causing both Rowan and Aviana to chuckle while Waylen smirks.

After they finished eating, they all decided it was probably time to go home. After Rowan and Waylen split the bill, they head out.

"Text me when you get home." Aviana says hugging Mallory. She nods. "I will, bye Rowan, nice to meet you." Mallory says hugging him. "Nice to meet you, Mallory. Bye man, see you tomorrow." The couple walks to the wealthy man's car, before driving off.

"How are you going to get home?" Waylen asks from behind her. "Well, I don't have a car so I'm just going to take a cab." She smiles. "I can give you a ride." Waylen says.

"No, it's okay." She knows if she gets in the same car as him, she'll probably do things she's going to regret in the morning. "Come on, I think we're going to see each other a lot more, might as well get to know each other."

He was right though; Aviana is probably going to invite her everywhere alongside Rowan and Rowan's probably going to invite Waylen everywhere. "Okay." She says.

"Follow me." He says walking. She follows him to his car. An Aston Martin DB11. He opens the door for her. "Thank you." She slides in before he closes the door.

After telling him her address, he drives off. The drive feeling longer than it was with Aviana.

"So, tell me something about you." Waylen suggests. "Uhm...I like music and movies." She says. "What's your favourite?" He asks.

"Music genre pop, like Harry Styles or Bruno Mars. Or old music like Elvis Presley, Queen, or ABBA. Favourite movies are definitely anything Disney or Pixar, I love animations." She says causing him to look at her.

"I love them too. Who's your favourite movie?" Waylen asks. "I mean is there any right answer besides Zootopia and Aladdin." She giggles. "Yea there is actually, it's called Monster's University."

"Oh God no, that's so boring compared to Zootopia." Mallory says and he chuckles. "Yea I guess Zootopia is pretty cool." She smiles.

Waylen parks the car in front of her apartment building looking at her.

"I guess I'll see you again." Waylen says. "Thanks for the ride." She thanks causing him to smile.

Wow. She thought. It's the first time she's seen him smile. He's beautiful.

"Have a good night, Mal."

Mal? No one's ever called her that before.

She nods before stepping out the car. Walking over to the building she unlocks her apartment building's door.

As soon as the door shuts Waylen lets out a loud sigh.

Fuck. He thought. She's definitely something else. Most women he meets throw themselves onto him, but not her. She teases from a distance.

Starting his car, he speeds off to his house.
