Crystal Blue Disguise

I arrive at Becca's at exactly 6 o'clock. I walk up to her front door and take a deep breath before ringing her doorbell. She opens the door with a smile and I just stare at her in awe. She's wearing a strapless black dress that hugs her figure perfectly and cuts off about halfway down her thighs.
“W-wow... You look great.”
“Thank you,” she blushes.
I nod and hand her a bouquet of roses.
“I bought you these.”
“Oh Jim, they're beautiful! Thank you. I'm gonna go put them in a vase. Come in.”
“Okay.”
I smile and walk in the house. She closes the door behind me and heads into the kitchen. I follow her and watch as she puts the flowers in a vase on the counter.
“I can't wait for our date.”
“Good. It'll be great,” I smile.
“Good.”
She turns to me and grabs her purse off the counter.
“I'm ready.”
“Wonderful.”
I grab her hand and lead her out to my car, opening the passenger side door for her.
“Such a gentleman.”
“I try,” I chuckle.
I close her door and go around to get in my side. I smile over at her before starting the car and driving out of her driveway and down the street. We sit in silence the entire drive, but I can't help but to occasionally glance over at her. She's absolutely beautiful. I can't believe I'm actually going on a date with her. I thought she would have said no because of how much of a dick I was to her. I pull up to the restaurant I'm taking her to and park the car. I'm taking her to the best restaurant in Huntington because I feel she deserves it and well, she fits in pretty well with the scene. I get out of the car and go around to open her door for her.
“Thank you.”
“Anytime, beautiful.”
She smiles and gets out of the car. I close the door and lead her inside to the Maître d.
“Reservation for Sullivan.”
“Ah yes. Follow me.”
I smile at Becca and lead her to where the gentleman takes us. He seats us at a private table and hands us menus.
“Your waiter will be with you momentarily.”
He walks off and I smile at Becca, grabbing her hand. She blushes, smiling back and giving my hand a gentle squeeze. I hope this date goes as planned.
