Out out?

I spent the next hour preparing myself. First, I dried my hair, then applied some makeup and did my nails. Finally, I put on the dress and shoes, and stood back to admire myself in the mirror.

"Damn, you look good."

I smiled and did a little twirl, giggling at the sight of myself spinning around.

I checked my watch. It was almost 7pm.

"Shit. Steve will be waiting."

With one last glance at the mirror, I headed out into the main room of the suite where Steve was already sitting at the table waiting for me.

"Ah, there you are. Wow, you look stunning."

"Thank you. You're looking very handsome yourself."

"Why thank you. Shall we?"

He offered his arm, and I took it.

We made our way downstairs and hailed a cab which took us downtown, tonights plan was just to settle in and have a fun night before working the floor at the expo tomorrow.

"So, where are we going?" I asked, as we drove through the streets of the city.

"It's a surprise. But I promise you'll love it."

Soon enough the taxi pulled up outside a busy restaurant and club.

"Wow, this place looks amazing."

"Yes. I love it here. Come on."

He helped me out of the car and led me inside where we were greeted by the hostess.

"Good evening. Do you have a reservation?"

"Yes. Under the name Smith."

"Of course. Right this way please."

She led us to a table near the back of the room where we sat down and ordered some drinks.

"So, what do you think of the place?" Steve asked.

"It's fantastic. Very elegant."

"Yes, it's one of my favourite restaurants in the city."

The waitress returned with our drinks and took our orders.

When she left, Steve raised his glass.

"To a great night."

"To a great night."

We clinked glasses and took a sip.
