He grinned, “I saw the pained expression that was starting to take over your face. You know, you don’t have to smile the entire time. It’s okay to relax a little.”
“Sorry. I didn’t want to have the mean black girl face all evening. I swear that my resting face is a bitchy one.”
He snorted and laughed, “What the hell is the mean black girl face?”
“Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about. People always assume that I have an attitude. I could be thinking about daisies and daffodils and people will swear I’m plotting revenge.”
“All because of the look on your face?”
“Yep.”
“I’ve never seen this face.”
“Well, you make me smile a lot.”
“I’m glad to be of service.”
I assumed that we were going back to the hotel but we passed it. Maybe the food served at the event wasn’t enough. He barely ate; he was too busy schmoozing.
“Are you going to dinner?”
He grinned, “Nope.”
“So where are we going?”
“I have a surprise for you. There is a reason that we left so early. I didn’t want to be late for our next outing. Trust me, you don’t want to miss a thing.”
“Uh oh, should I be nervous? You aren’t into that kinky shit are you? I’m not going to any dungeons.” I said half-jokingly.
“What am I going to do with you? What kind of person draws those kinds of conclusions? Don’t worry, I’m not some sicko that’s trying to tie you up in a room full of people. Well unless you’re into that kind of thing.”
I quickly shook my head, “Then where are we going?”
“I’m guessing that you’re the kind of woman that doesn’t like surprises.”
“You’re right. I don’t because they drive me insane. As you can see, I come to crazy conclusions. My mind plays tricks on me and if you don’t tell me, I’m going to assume that you’re going to chop me up and put me in a trunk.”
“You have a hell of an imagination. Do you really think that I would do something like that?”
“You seem pretty normal.” I laughed, “But I’ve watched enough Lifetime movies to know that everything isn’t always as it seems.”
“I hate that damned channel. But I’m going to put you out of your misery. There is a Beyoncé concert happening this evening.”
My eyes widened and my heart felt like it stopped. Yes, I’m a Beyoncé fan and I’m proud of it. It all felt too good to be true. I’d wanted to go to a Beyoncé concert since forever but I was never able to afford a ticket. “Are you serious right now?”
“If you don’t want to go just let me know.”
“No! I mean yes! Of course I want to go, are you kidding me? How in the hell did you even get tickets? They’ve been sold out everywhere.”
“I know people that know people. I pulled some strings to make it happen; I was hoping that you were a fan.”
“I’m a huge fan! You don’t even understand. I have every album of hers and I buy all of her DVDs, it’s a little sad really.”
“It’s not sad. There’s nothing wrong with having a favorite artist. She’s really talented and I’m looking forward to enjoying this evening with you. I have to confess I’ve always wanted to see her in concert too, so this is going to be a treat for the both of us.”
I sighed and sat back into the seat. I was living a dream and I couldn’t figure out what I did to deserve it. He was being really nice to me. Sure he had the money but he didn’t have to go out of his way to make it happen for me. I looked at him and then leaned over to give him a kiss on the cheek. He grinned from ear to ear. He was obviously pleased with himself and I didn’t mind at all.
“Wow, this night is turning out very differently than I expected.” I admitted.
