Mated to My Enemy novel Chapter 44

I prepare everything and leave the chicken in the oven to cook while I get ready for the date.

I decide to wear something casual. I decide on plain black jeans, black cropped top, red vans, and a jean material vest. I then decide against it and choose a much more warm jacket with the same material!

For makeup, I decide to go light on the eyes and bold on the lips. I put only mascara on my eyes, put concealer on a couple blemishes, and finally a red lipstick on. I've always felt empowered by wearing a red color on my lips and felt that it boosted my confidence so I knew tonight was perfect to wear. I curl the ends of my hair and head downstairs to check on the chicken.

I finish up in the kitchen and hear the door bell ring. I take out the chicken and turn off the oven. I head over to the door and am not surprised to see Arron standing there. May I add that he looked totally ho- No stop it! Shame on you Daphne!

I saw he was staring at my lips and couldn't help but feel the heat come up my face.

"Hey Kingston, you look beautiful," he said with a smile.

"Thank you, so do you," I said with a smirk.

"Why thank you kind lady, no ones ever told me that. I'm sure if they did they would be six feet under ground but," he said raising a finger, "when you said it, I know you mean it," he said with a smirk of his own.

I roll my eyes and grab my phone and purse. I close the door behind me and am surprised to see him holding out his arm.

"Did you get hit in the head here?" I asked him.

He put his arm down, scrunching his face in confusion.

"No... Why?" He asked.

"Because last time I checked, you weren't a gentleman. I mean I remember like it was yesterday that you stuck gum in my hair," I said crossing my arms.

He brought his arm back up and grinned, "And last time I checked, I was seven and you were six when that happened. And to answer your other question, no I did not hit my head."

I just roll my eyes and grab his arm. He leads me to his car and opens the door for me. Once I'm in, he gets in the driver's side and starts the car.

I nod my head as he takes the car out of the drive way. In about fifteen minutes, we arrive at the cabin. The car ride was pretty silent except for the small talk here and there.

He opens the door to the cabin, and leads me to the back of it. This cabin was modest and warm, making me feel more relaxed. In the back, there's a table and dinner placed in the center of the porch. The porch was incased with glass that was illuminated by the string lights draping down from the glass ceiling. The sun setting could be seen up top.

"This is beautiful Arron," I gasped.

"Does that win me more points?" He asked with a huge grin.

I nodded my head and said, "Definitely."

"Good," He said, nodding his head, satisfied.

He pulled the chair out, signalling me to sit down. I thanked him and he sat down as well. He uncovered our plates, revealing the delicious food. We talked a little but mostly ate. The food was so good! When we finished, he asked me to get up so that he could move the table out of the way. After he did so, he laid out a blanket on the floor and told me to lay on it and look up. I did and was about to question him, when he got up and said wait here. I put my hands behind my head and got comfy. The string lights turned off and the stars shined brightly with the moon through the glass. Arron came and laid next to me. We looked at the stars, as they twinkled in the sky. I looked at Arron, the only light coming from the moon and stars.
