Forbidden Love novel Chapter 6

The next day, Elijah texted me the time and address of our date. Or, at least I think it’s a date. I’m not sure. Either way, I’ve been panicking since he said he was going to pick me up unless I wanted to come by myself.

Basically, whenever I went on a date, I always went with my own vehicle just in case I didn’t like it and wanted to leave early. Usually I would ask Vera to borrow her car since she’s okay with it but she drives a 2012 Toyota Corolla.

There’s nothing wrong with the car. In fact, I think it looks nice. But to park it in a parking lot full of Lamborghinis and Ferraris? Absolutely not. The attention it would attract is frightening.

Yeah. Lamborghinis and Ferraris. I made the mistake of looking up the restaurant and that’s what's been troubling me since it was such a high-end restaurant. I definitely couldn’t go there with my sister’s Toyota.

It was so high-end that if I were to book it it would probably cost me four days of working. I mean, I knew Elijah was most likely rich but damn. Was not expecting that.

Sighing, I decided to ring up my sister Anna. She had the most experience with dating since she was extremely flirty. The first time I called, she didn’t pick up. Of course, me being me, I called her again and again. She answered on the third call.

“Girl, what do you want?” she immediately said once she answered the phone. “I’m trying to shave my coochie but you’re over here blowing up my phone.”

“So you just watched my calls go through?” I asked with slight disbelief in my voice. “What if it was an emergency?”

“Well it wasn’t so what do you want?”

“The lion, the witch, and the audacity of this bitch,” I muttered under my breath.

“What?”

“Nothing,” I told her, chuckling a little. “I needed help with something though.”

“Okay. You better not be wasting my time though,” she replied.

“So…hypothetically speaking, if I had a date that was rich and wanted to take me to an expensive as fuck restaurant, do I let them pick me up? ‘Cause you know momma always said to drive yourself but if I did drive myself I would have to rent an expensive car or something and I don’t have that kind of money so I’m stuck,” I explained.

“FINALLY!” Anna screamed into the phone.

I winced, pulling the phone away from my ear. “Finally what?”

“I just knew you were gonna get with one of them rich men at some point, sis. Good for you!”

I rolled my eyes. “It’s not even like that, Anna. He only insisted because of some random mishap at the school. So he probably only asked me out to keep me quiet or whatever,” I honestly said.

“Mmhmm,” she said as if she didn’t believe me. “Alright, if you say so. But anyway, I think you should just let him pick you up. Live in luxury for a night. You deserve it since you’ve been working hard. I’m also assuming the guy is young and pretty mature, so hopefully he won’t try anything. Especially on the first date since clearly it’s not gonna be a one night stand -”

“Didn’t you have sex with that one dude on the first date?” I interrupted her.
