WHO: Sami and Blake
WHEN: Friday Night at 8
WHERE: Cherry Street Artisan and Hollywood Theater
WHAT: A date
RATING: TBA
STATUS: In Progress

Rule Number One in Blake's dictionary? He doesn't date. His last girl had been years ago at the age of 15 and had lasted for three years. He thought he loved her until she cheated on him with his older brother Damon. Said older guys were better or something along those stupid lines. Damon said it was his to show Blake that love was for chumps and he'd just get hurt unless he stayed alone. Then there was his father. Before his mother had died his dad was a resident playboy seeing three or four women behind her back. True love just didn't exist not that he saw at least so what was the point in it? So he had become the love em and leave em type. It kept him from getting hurt and since true love didn't exist it was just much easier. Then Lordex happened and he met these two girls. Summer who he had a great time with it just, he didn't know what it was. And he felt bad about that. He never intended to hurt anyone in any way and he felt like he had. He'd have to talk with her more. Then there was this girl whose apartment he was standing in front of right now. Sami. This woman intrigued him, all of his senses and he wasn't sure what to make of it. he just knew he needed to further explore it so here he was at eight on the nose like he had said he would be. As far as he knew a sitter had been called so it was just the two of them. Movie and dinner. That was the best way to get to know someone right? So he made a reservation at Cherry Street Artisan, a local fancy restaurant and then he was even going to let her pick the movie as long as it wasn't too chick flicky though. He didn't know, even as much as he seemed to like this woman, if he could sit through two hours of girl fest on the big screen. He was dressed nice, nothing over the top but nothing too casual either. He had ended up deciding on this. He had a single red rose in his hand for her and even picked up a stuffed teddy bear for her daughter to show he could be a stand up guy. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door and waited on her to answer silently praying to himself that she won't stand him up.

She dropped Kayleigh off at Ariel's, and spent a few minutes chatting with her friend, telling her what she was up to for the night. She thanked her a million times for watching the baby and then she headed home.

After showering, doing her hair and makeup, she put her dress on and her shoes and she was ready shortly before 8 for Blake.

She was excited about the evening out with him. She hadn't been on a first date in a long time. And although he reminded her of her ex husband a little, she was hoping that he was different in the important ways. She didn't know if she could deal with another jerk, not now that she had Kayleigh to worry about. She sighed. OK. No more negative thoughts. She was going to make this evening perfect if it was the last thing she did. She needed a good date, especially after losing Jason not too long ago.

At 8 on the dot the doorbell rang. She jumped, then walked calmly to the door. She opened it and almost let her jaw drop but she caught it in time. She smiled up at him and checked him out casually. He looked good. He was dressed up about as much as she was. So neither was overdressed or underdressed. OK, good. He had a rose for her. Awww. All of this she noticed in seconds.

"Is that for me?" She asked, almost shyly. "It's beautiful. And you look great. If I didn't know any better, you are just as excited about tonight as I am." And then she blushed. She couldn't believe she had just said that and let him have the upper hand by letting him know she was that excited and nervous about tonight. But she tried to look confident about what she said and smiled up at him, "Do you want to come in, or do we have to leave?" She didn't know where they were going, so she had to ask.

Blake smiled when he saw her standing there. She was beautiful and looked amazing in her dress. "You look amazing, and yes it's for you" He smiled as he handed her the rose. "Thanks" He blushed when she'd told him that he looked great.

He smiled as he walked into her place, "I've actually got us dinner reservations and something else planned, but if you'd like to stay in we could. Doesn't matter to me" He smiled over at her as he took her hand, kissing the top of it.

She took the rose and gestured for him to follow while she put it in water before they left. She smiled at the expression on his face. He looked so happy and that made her feel even happier. "Well, thank you. And you look amazing also." She told him, again, filling a small vase quickly and putting the flower in, placing it on the table. Then she blushed. He made her so nervous she was repeating herself.

She turned back to him and once again led the way to the hall and grabbed her coat. She began to put it on and smiled up at him. "I'm ready when you are. And starving, too, so dinner sounds great to me." She flushed as he kissed her hand, and squeezing his hand lightly, comfortably, she found herself holding it a second as they walked out of her door. It felt almost like they were already a couple. Weird. But she liked it. "What are we eating?" She asked, not dropping his hand as she shut her door and locked it.

He hadn`t wanted to go overkill on the first date and buy too nuch so when she sniled and pit the rose in a vase with water he knew he had made the right choice. There was something about this gir, this woman, that he just couldb`t figure out. but if he was being honest with himself he was dying to find out which scared him to death. He`d never admit that out loud however, at least not to her. Although she was nervous as she`d admitted earlier he coulsn`t verbally let on that he was too.Dates really werent something he`d ever tried to hard at. She links her hand with his and surpringly he doesn`t take it away until he gets to his car and has to unlock it to let her in. Once in he gives her a smile and carefully backs up and heads towards Cherry street and their dinner.

"You really do look nice tonight by the way. The dress, the hair the whole nine yards I`m impressed. You clean up well. Not to say you don`t look nice when you aren`t all dressy.." he finally spoke breaking the silence his nerves obviously showing as he jumbled them up. "Let`s start over. " he stated sheepishly. "You look great tonight. Is that one of your own dresses?" He googled her, he knew about her business, her family a bit. Was that stalkerish? Shit he`d never actually googled a girl before.

He pulls into the parking lot and finds a decent spot, and shuts off the car and glances at her before getting out. "So I wasn`t going to admit this but it`s fair you know, I`m nervous too. But now that it`s established we both are maybe we can shake them a bit. You ready to go in beautiful?"

He seemed so perfect. She hadn't felt that butterfly feeling in her stomach in a long time. It felt nice. She liked him, and that scared her. And the fact that he didn't let her hand go surprised her. He thought for sure she'd drop it as soon as she squeezed it so comfortably. But when he didn't drop it until he opened her car door for her she smiled. "Thank you." She said, softly, as she climbed into the car.

"Yes. I guess having a career in fashion comes in handy when it comes to dressing up for a date with a handsome man." She smiled, teasing just a little in a flirty way. She liked how he was all nervous around her as well. It was sweet. Cute. She nodded. "Actually, yes. I like to try out my new stuff on myself before I put it into the store. I like to see peoples reactions to my designs." She shook her head for just a second. Wait. Did she tell him about her business? Hmm. She couldn't remember. Oh well. Maybe she had and just didn't remember. Kayleigh kept her so busy and the store as well, that she didn't remember a lot anymore.

As the rode she kept the conversation rolling easily by asking a lot of questions, or trying to, and not sound dorky as she talked. "Are you close with your family even though you don't live near them anymore?" She asked curiously, after having googled him last night to find out a little more about him.

She missed her own family so much and she'd just moved away this week. Well, maybe she didn't miss her mom much but she missed her dad and brother a lot.

As he parks and they are still talking she turns to him before opening the car door. She nodded, as he called her beautiful and actually admitted he was nervous, too. He really was sweet. She found herself being a bit bold and leaned forward, placed a small, peck of a kiss on his lips and nodded again. "I'm ready when you are. Although I wouldn't mind just sitting right here and talking the whole time in private." She admitted. She suddenly didn't want to share him with everyone in the restaurant. She didn't want to rush and sleep with him, or even do anything she'd regret but she wouldn't mind another real kiss and some private time to get to know him better.

He honestly took her to this place to impress her to begin with. He nodded his head as he smiled over at her. "Yeah we can totally go back to your place. I will order some take out or something and we can watch movies or something, whatever you want to do love"

He took her hand and led her out to his car and opened her door then climbed into the car and headed off to her house. Once there he ordered some Chinese food and sat down next to her smiling. "Hows this?"

"Are you sure? I mean, I love the look of this place, but a little private time to talk and get to know each other better would be nice, too." And she did not mean sex when she said that. Or even making out. She hoped he knew that.

And yet as he held her hand and walked her back into her apartment a short while later she was all smiles. Must be the holiday season. She did love this time of year. "I think this is just perfect." She told him, settling in for a long evening with Blake.

Sex wasnt really on his mind too much, well rephraise that in his mind he wasnt thinking about sex as much as he normally was . Again a thought that scared him senseless. Blake Kalinine always thought about sex with a girl. He had with Sami not right now though maybe in a few weeks? What was wrong with him? He gets to the complex her holding his hand still.

Once inside he gives a small smile as he takes his outer shirt off feeling a little warm. just leaving his white tee underneath on. "So Chinese food or Thai? And Any movie that you`re feeling? Im assuming something thats not PG rated.K he laughed a little, the nerves gone now he 2was actually happy and calm. Granted he did want to kiss her but everything in its time and place.
