Big Not So Bad Wolf

Allie's POV:

On the way back to my house the car is silent. When we pull up to my house I exit the car making sure to slam the door behind. I match straight up the front steps without looking back.

A few days later my phone rings. The screen tells me it's Elijah. I hadn't spoken to him since that night.

I click the answer button.

"Allie I'm truly sorry. You're a beautiful woman. When that man came over I worried that he might steal you away  I let my jealousy get the best of me." Elijah explains.

I'm silent on my end of the phone.

"Please give me another chance. I promise that won't happen again. You can pick everything, the time, day and what we do whether it's a movie or dinner. If you just want to go out for coffee I'd accept that too." He pleads.

There was no ignoring that tone of voice. Elijah did sound remorseful. I let out a sigh.

"Alright I'll go on another date with you. How about 25 degrees Huntington Beach?" I offer.

"25 degrees? Alright I'll happily pick you up. What time." Elijah questions.

I don't explain anything. He'll find out. I shake my head.

"I'll meet you there. Friday 6:30pm don't be late." I hang up before Elijah can argue he's picking me.

After our fancy date I wanted something much more relaxed. I knew Elijah was going to be surprised at the restaurant. It was going to interesting to see how he reacts.

Before I knew it Friday was upon me. Tonight I decided on a much more comfortable vibe. I didn't go with much make-up tonight just some mascara and a shiny lip gloss.

This is what I was going to be wearing. I threw my hair up into a point tail. Grabbing my keys I'm ready to go.

My car welcomes me. Putting the key in the ignition I start it up. The engine purrs like a dream.

My hand shift the gear into reverse. Once I'm out of my driveway I put out in drive. At the end of my street I take the right hand turn that will take me to Walnut Avenue.

About ten minutes later I'm pulling up to the restaurant. Luck is with me as I find a parking spot right away. After I park I make my way to the front the  restaurant.

I spot Elijah right away. I'm surprised to see that he's not in a suit.

Instead he's wearing a dark blue shirt with dark jeans. He always has some scruff on his face. I didn't think he could look better than he did in his suit but boy was I wrong.

The scruff is just the perfect amount. The way his shirt clings to his muscles almost makes my mouth water. Elijah looks totally sexy.

He greets me. Elijah walks over to the door. He holds it open for me to walk inside.

"Two?" A girl questions.

"Yes take for two." Elijah says.

The girl shows us to a table and hands Elijah the menus. She flashes him a flirty smile.

Elijah doesn't seem to notice as he holds out my chair for me. Once I'm seated he takes his chair.

"Let me know if you need anything." The girl makes it point to sway her hills as she leaves.

A waitress walks over.

"I'm Desirea I'll be your waitress tonight." She introduces herself.

Suddenly her pen falls to the floor. Bending down she makes sure her cleavage is on full display. I know I certainly couldn't miss it.

I shoot a glance at Elijah. His eyes are on me. The waitress huffs realizing that she's not the focus of attention.

"Do you guys know what you want?" She asks.

Elijah motions to me. I nod telling him I do know. He nods back.

"I'll have the ground sirloin burger well done with cheddar cheese and bacon along with a side of French fries. For a drink I opt for a vanilla milk shake." I make sure I'm clear with my order.

She writes it down. Turning to Elijah she gives him a smile. The smile looks fake.

"For me it will be the wedge salad with tarragon remoulade dressing. To drink I'll have Stella Artois." Elijah says handing her the menus.

She takes the menus and leaves. She stomps away. Her ass jiggles with every steps.

Who really thinks that's sexy? I wonder to myself. I know that I certainly don't.

Elijah chuckles. My eyes pull together in question. He motions to the waitress's retreating back.

"That is not attractive in the least." He tells me.

A chuckle escapes me. I try to cover it. Elijah gives me a look.

"It's okay to laugh. I promise I won't bite." He jokes snapping his teeth at me.
