The Secret

Chapter Two

I pulled on my teal satin dress I had bought earlier, then sat on the bed to pull on my shoes, ‘Hey hey sexy lady’ said Sophie as she walked in holding two glasses half full of wine, ‘thought you may need a bit of dutch courage’ she said as she handed me my glass. A bit im thinking I may need the bottle I cant believe ive let her talk me into this, ‘This guy best be hot or im havin Joseph’ I told Sophie. ‘You’ll love him he sounds really sweet and shy, Joseph said he’s really quiet not very confident when it comes to the ladies, I told him you would work your charms on him’ she laughed loudly talking a gulp of her wine. ‘Come on you ready yet they comin to pick us up in 15 minutes’

‘I’m ready now’ I said as I stood up and straightened my dress ‘How’s that’ I asked for her approval

‘Wow you look amazing Lizzie, he will be a fool if he doesn’t try pulling you tonight’ Sophie said staring at my legs

‘Too short’ I asked pulling at the bottom of the dress ‘I don’t want to come across desperate and gagging for it, do I’

‘No really you look stunning your legs are amazing you should get them out more often’ she answered laughing.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door…..

‘Lets go here they are’ Sophie said as she gulped back the last of her wine running towards the door ‘Hi handsome come on in’ I heard her say whilst I gathered my bag and purse, I turned out my light and took a deep breath as I stepped out into the hallway. I could see the back of a guy in a grey suit, black hair, he had his hands stuffed into his pockets, Sophie was standing next to the other guy I assume was Joseph, talking about the night before to my horror.

‘Hey Lizzie, this is Joseph and his friend Stefan’ she said holding her hand out as she pointed to each of then I smiled at Joseph and said Hi then turned my head to Stefan, my god cute was an understatement he was looked just as good from the front as he did from behind his brown eyes pierced into me as he looked me over and smiled I take it he was not disappointed by his view.

‘Hi I’m Stefan’ he said as he held out his hand towards me.

‘Hi Elizabeth, or my friends call me Lizzie’ I said taking his hand in mine, he gently squeezed my hand, butterflies fluttered around my tummy ‘Elizabeth that’s a beautiful name for a beautiful lady’ he said as he stared into my eyes.

‘Right you two lets roll’ said Joseph nudging Stefan, ‘Come on then girls the car is outside then we will leave it at the restaurant before we move onto the club’ Joseph and Stefan headed out of the door whispering away. Sophie linked my arm ‘What you think, hot or what’ she asked with a beaming smile. ‘He’s ok not too bad’ I didn’t want to sound like a total slut by saying I don’t want to come out I would much prefer to stay at home with him and he can do whatever he wants to do I don’t think I would put up much of a fight. ‘Lizzie your such a liar I watched the way you looked at him you were putty in his hands’ she said laughing out loudly. Both Joseph and Stefan looked back and smiled as we approached the car. It was a black convertible wow I thought I’d never been in one of these before. Stefan took the keys out of his pocket ‘We will get in the back’ Joseph said smiling and taking Sophie’s hand in his. I began to walk to the passenger side, Stefan appeared at the side of me he pulled open the door and gestured for me to get in ‘Thank you’ I answered not taking my eyes off his. He gently closed the door and walked back to the drivers side. Sophie was giggling in the back ‘so were we off too’ she asked.

‘There is a nice quiet little restaurant on the sea front, I thought we could eat there then go onto a club if that’s ok’ answered Stefan looking at me for reassurance that it was fine

‘Sounds lovely’ I said smiling to him

‘Great, I’m starved’ yelled Sophie from the back.
