THE BLIND DATE
‘’Is it too much?’’
I was nervous, still struggling to keep a smile on my face.
‘’What? No!’’ Chiara, my best friend, refuted.
She sat up in her luxurious bath tub, a cream of foam covering her flawless upper porcelain skin. Her dirty blonde hair was tucked in a messy up-do, highlighting her perfectly made up face and forest green eyes.
‘’Sei bellissima, Sienna—you look beautiful, Sienna.’’ She murmured, sounding as though she was in awe of how beautiful I looked.
‘’Grazie—thank you.’’ I whispered.
Slutty seemed like my first name with my dark brown hair wrapped in a messy bun, bold, flattering makeup with pure blood red lips, flimsy black dress that left nothing to imagination, fuck-me heels and a dazzling black trench coat.
Chiara claimed I wasn’t stepping out of my comfort zone. Truthfully, I hadn’t. My work as a flight hostess occupied nearly all my time, leaving me with little to nothing to work with for my social life. But then, a few weeks back, I was fired. A rich,snobbish passenger had harassed me, and when I reported to my purser, the piece of shit turned the whole thing on me and threw me out. Chiara was convinced that it was because I hadn’t let him hit. She wanted to use her legal influence as a lawyer and sue his ass, but I begged her to let it go.
I had turned thirty a few days ago, and in the spirit of my birthday week, Chiara set up a blind date and told me to live a little. I had enough sulking for a lifetime so I didn’t see a reason to say no.
So, here I was, going on a blind date.
And I was strangely excited about it.
‘’Remember, don’t overthink things tonight, just go there and have fun, and?—’’
‘’Don’t pass on the chance of having a good fuck when you get the chance.’’ We both said at the same time and laughed.
‘’Have fun,’’ she grinned.
‘’I love you.’’ I cooed.
‘’I love you too.’’ She hung up.
I sighed, taking one last glance at myself in the mirror. I was intent on making sure I enjoyed the date I was going on. I wasn’t going to worry about the littlest details. I’d embrace whatever the night had to offer. I stuffed a few essentials in my bag and headed out of the room.
I flagged down a cab that took me toArancini, a cosy, luxurious and upscale restaurant that was close to the outskirts of Verona. Chiara was the one who created a profile for me on the dating app, and arranged the blind date. I was meeting with a dashing young man who was into tech. Vincenzo Romano. I wasn’t one to fish for something serious in cases like this. Heck, I had not been committed for a while now. I just wanted to experience a beautiful, relaxed evening.
The cab rolled to a stop in front of the restaurant. I paid the driver, alighted and approached the entrance. The guardsflashed me a warm stare, pulling the door open for me to step in. The sweeping, gigantic space rolled out before me in bold tones of red, black and gold. The chandelier and perfect lighting made the space look refined, meant for the upper class alone. I secretly wondered who this Vincenzo guy was again to be able to afford a place like this.
A tall, elegant blonde waitress strode towards me, all cheery and vibrant.
‘’Good evening, ma’am.’’ I was a little startled when a guy came up behind me to collect my coat, leaving me in my slutty outfit for the night.
‘’Hi, good evening.’’ I beamed. ‘’Reservation for Mr. Romano, please.’’
‘’Of course, come with me.’’
She led me past the regular tables, allowing me to note that there were no customers hanging around. I furrowed my brows.
‘’Excuse me, did Mr. Romano rent the entire space?’’ I couldn’t resist asking.
She smiled warmly at me but didn’t say anything. That was when I noticed that we had gotten to the VIP section.
