Date

Alex's: POV
It's been over two weeks since Olivia and I met
We exchange numbers. We've been texting back and forth
When she asked me out on a date, l gladly accepted without hesitation. I don't know why l'm so nervous
I even went to the mall and brought a new outfit to wear
Plus I swung by the beauty salon to get my hair done
Pierce deep condition my hair and gave me a trim
Flat iron it, there's so much l still don't know about this woman who has taken over my thoughts. Casey called me to apologize for ditching us at the bar, she didn't give an explanation. I knew it must had something to do with her boyfriend, l tried not to pry in her personal business
Olivia said she would pick me up around six. After getting out the shower. I received a message from her she says she'll see me in an hour, l didn't bother to ask her we're we going. Olivia is so thoughtful she always asks me about my day, l haven't even told my sister l'm dating again
It's to soon for me to bring it up to her. Stephanie has always been over protective of me since we were growing up, once I was finished putting the last finishing touches of my makeup on. Mom is supposed to be coming to town for a visit next weekend for some conference, she didn't mention anything about dad coming along. I don't believe Stefanie has spoken to him after their big argument,
There both pretty stubborn individuals when it comes their point of views. Luckily l am like my mother sometimes Daddy can be over bearing, hopefully they will patch things up soon before Stephanie's which is coming up soon. My sister in law Lena decided to give her a dinner party at their new house, she's the knows how to keep Stephanie calm. Lena has the patience of a saint
That's one thing l love about she doesn't take no shit from nobody, they balance each other out wonderfully.
I hope to have a family one day but l'm so focus on practicing law, Olivia should be here any minute
I'm sitting in my living room watching the News
Then I hear my door bell ringing Alex gets up off the couch and walks over. She looks at herself in the mirror
Before answering the door, Alex sees it's Olivia on the security camera. Alex unlocks the top and bottom lock
She opens the door, hi she shyly says Alex moves out of the way to let Olivia inside who was holding a bouquet of pink roses. You look great Alex here l brought these for you Olivia hands me the roses, there beautiful thank you
Alex appreciates the gesture. She goes into the kitchen
And pulls down a vase from the cabinet turns on the sink
Fills up the glass Vase with water, Alex puts the roses inside. Then Alex sits it down on the dining room table
Olivia was looking at the paintings along the wall
Olivia you ready to go Alex asked, yeah l was just admiring your paintings here Olivia replies. I got them at a art gallery when l visited Paris a few years ago Alex explained, l think the last trip l went to was Dubai
Olivia States. Alex puts on her shawl and grabs her bag
They walked out the house, Alex locks up then we head out to Olivia's fort escape mini van. Liv opens up the car door for Alex to get in, while Olivia gets in on the driver side. Starts up the vehicle and pulls out the parking space
She turns on the radio, l hope you like Italian food Olivia Stated. It's one of my favorites Alex replies, we pulled up to this fancy restaurant, the velvet came over and open the door for us. I handed him my car keys, while we headed inside the restaurant. I went up to the counter and told the hostess l had a reservation under the name of Benson, she grabbed two menus and we followed her over to the table. We're she sat our menus down, your waitress Vicky with be with you shortly the woman said as she walks away. Olivia and I looked over our menus to see what we wanted to order for dinner, Olivia puts on her eye glasses so she could see better. Alex wore her contacts for the evening, Vicky came to take the women's drink orders. Alex ordered a glass of white wine and Olivia requested the same, can you give us a few more minutes please Olivia told Vicky. She left to go get their drinks
