Chapter Text
*a few days later*
I can't stop thinking about the woman I saw at the bar. I suddenly remember that before her cab took off she gave me her number and told me to call her. I go to the hamper and dig out the pants I wore that night and I pull the piece of paper out of the pocket. After checking to make sure its the right paper I go to the kitchen and pick up my phone and dial her number. It rings a couple of times and suddenly I hear her voice on the other side. Hello, Who is this? She asked. Its Gabriel I reply. Oh hello, its good to talk to you again she says. It's good to talk to you too. Hey, I was wondering are you free this week? Yeah, she replies. I was wondering would you like to go out this week? Sounds like a plan, she says. Ok, ill pick you up at Eight I tell her and then I hang up and go to get ready for my date. I go into my closet and pull out my navy blue suit, and white dress shirt, and I grab my red tie and put it on and then I dig around for my black dress shoes not needing them till now it takes me a moment to find them. When I find the shoes I put them on and grab my keys wanting to stop by the flower shop first. As I'm driving to the flower shop I spot a box of kittens and I pull over and I pull out a cute black one and put it in the car and then when I get to the flower shop I buy her a bouquet of orchids. After I pay for the flowers I get back in my car and I head to Rowena's house and when I get there I walk nervously up to the front door and I knock. When she opens the door I smile and hold out the flowers. here these are for you I say. Why thank you, she said softly. They're beautiful. So are you I reply. T-thank you, she says flustered. Give me a moment she says and then she goes inside and when she comes back out her outfit steals my breath away. She's wearing a floor-length emerald green dress with matching flats and a light blue handbag. Woah, I whispered. You...you're...amazing. She blushes and walks outside and closes the door and locks it. Ready? Yeah, I'm ready she tells me. The kitten pokes its head out the window and meows. She gasped in surprise. Is..is that a kitten? she asked me. Yeah, I said, Shes yours if you want her. Oh, Thank you so much, Gabriel, she said. You are very welcome. So do you want to go out for dinner or stay in? I asked her. Let's stay in and watch a movie ill make some dinner, she says. Ok, I'll grab the kitten and bring her inside I say as she unlocks the door and goes back inside the house. I walk to my car and gently scoop up the kitten and I close the door and lock the car. As I'm making my way up the path holding the kitten I see her open the door. I walk up to the door quickly and set the black kitten inside where it proceeds to sniff around curiously. Nice place. Why thank you, she says. I smile in response and I sit on the couch as I wait for dinner.
