'All ready!' I thought after I was done applying the deep red lipstick. While I sat in front of the mirror, doubts hovered in my mind about the dress I was wearing. I was a total noob about the matters related to dating. My friends recommended me this dress after they were tired of teasing me. I was wearing a red knee-length dress with a round neck. It was the first time I wore such a dress, and it made me nervous.

I stayed cautious about being tricked by Mira and Amber. I didn't want to make a fool of myself in front of him. Therefore, I tried a dozen different dresses, but I couldn't decide if the dress was appropriate for the occasion. In the end, I decided to trust them.

I stood up and turned slightly to look at myself in the mirror for one last time. I didn't look half bad. I had tied my hair in a messy bun and decorated my nails with a nail polish of similar colour. In my neck was the scarlet red necklace that he had gifted me a few days back. Black was a very lucky guy because I got miles out of my way and dolled myself up just for him. My feet were still adjusting to the length of heels. And yeah, they were red too.

I looked at the clock which read the time as 8:50. I was ahead of time, but I still walked out of the room without any further delay. I noticed Black standing downstairs, with his head tilted upwards, waiting for who knows how long. His eyes widened the instant he saw me.

He was wearing a formal dress of his favourite colour. He let out this charming gentle-manliness. I was surprised as I didn't expect him to wear such clothes. Creation was such a useful ability. I could see he had properly tried to groom himself up. His long hair looked less wild, and his lips looked more bloody than before. Black looked so handsome that even Adonis would feel shame if he saw my Black. His killer looks had always been the most devilish part of him.

Black stood there like the prince charming stood to receive his Cinderella. I realized he was staring at me with mouth half-open as I walked down the stairs. I thought he would stop staring soon, but he didn't. He continued without blinking. I could see his eyes wander on my body like a kid wandering on a playground. It was as if his eyes wanted to capture everything and remember that image for a lifetime. My face turned all red because of his state. I was conscious of his stare and my legs felt a slight tremble. It was already hard enough to walk with those heels.

Our eyes met. I gave him a stern look to tell him of his doings.

"Sorry for that," Black apologized, but he had a smile on his face. I knew he wasn't sorry at all. But I couldn't be angry at him. It was a special day, after all. He reached out for me with his hand to help me step down. I gladly accepted.

"So, how do I look?" I asked. Even though his gaze had already spoken, I wanted to hear it from his mouth.

"All the words in the world aren't enough to describe how beautiful you're looking."

"You don't look that bad yourself," I said. That's what he gets for starting at me. He laughed up, perfectly reading my intentions.

"Let's go?" I asked, all pumped up and excited of my first date.

He didn't say yes. Instead, he started thinking about something while looking to the door.

"What happened?"

"Um... Wait for a little. I need to make a call." Black left my hand and pulled his phone out of his pocket. Seriously, at that time? I couldn't understand what happened all of a sudden. He then called someone.

"Wait just a moment please," Black said looking towards me.

"Hello. This is Black. I made a reservation for today," So he actually had called the place he was going to take me. "Yeah... I would like to cancel it."

Cancel?

I panicked inside without showing any expression. My first date and it was, cancelled? He better explain his reasons to me or I was never going to any date with him next time.

"I have a request to make... Can you pack all the food you have?" Black continued. Why was he asking to pack the food? He shouldn't be thinking of that as having that at home as dinner...

"I'll pay you double the money and will fetch it myself... Three of everything available... Yeah, everything... I'm sure... Okay, send me details to me... Thank you." And he hung up on them.

"Um... What happened?" I looked at him with curiosity.

"A last moment change of plans," Black explained. He held my hand again and started walking to the living room. I could have walked myself, but I guess he was just worried I might fall. We both sat down on the couch.

"Why did you change your plans so suddenly?" I asked.

"Shall I speak the truth?" Black pondered loudly.

"You shall say the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth," I said as if I was taking an official statement in court.

"You are looking so gorgeous today. I mean you look beautiful all the time, but you know."

"So what about it?" Changing plans because of how I look? I didn't understand.

"People are stupid. They will gaze at you with appreciation, with jealousy, perhaps some with lust too. So there are two reasons for the change of plans."

"And what are they?"

"First. I was afraid I might lose my senses again if anyone looked at you with wrongful thoughts. Who knows, one moment we would be having a toast and another moment I... might start a massacre. It's really hard for me to control my bloodthirst sometimes." Such exaggerated thoughts again, but it was very thoughtful of him. I might help him stay calm, but only to a certain extent. I knew how crazy he becomes when he succumbs to his wrath. Those poor people won't even know what hit them. I smiled as I mused that this angel in front of me, whom I was going on a date with, has killed thousands of demons.

"Second... I wanted all of you for myself. Today, I wanted to be the only one to see you, the only one to hear you, the only one to be in your presence."

"Aren't you too possessive?"

"Yeah, I know it is kind of weird of me. But I guess that's the way I am... I promise I will try hard to change it."

I didn't mind this possessive side of Black. In fact, I found it cute. Life was such a roller-coaster with him. One moment, I was worried about what he might do to others and the next I was in awe because he desired me so much. Such hunger in his eyes. Such possessiveness in his soul. It was just too much for my little heart. He was a veteran on the battlefield of words. Just then he got a message on his phone.

"They sent the bill."

I slide towards him so I could take a sneak peek at how much.

"I haven't paid through phone before. Mind helping me?" Black requested for help while passing his phone to me. I accepted. They were charging him double. And he actually bought three of everything, be it ice cream or something with a name I couldn't pronounce.

"You don't have to pay that much. They're ripping you off. We can go somewhere else." I argued.

"It's nothing much. And we're already late." Black didn't mind it and I went on with the transaction, albeit unwillingly. It was such a waste of money.

"May I get the phone back? I still have no idea where to take you."

"You should have thought about it before," I pretended to be angry.

"Sorry." He apologized and started scrolling.

But his apology wasn't going to stop me from killing him if we ended up having dinner in our kitchen or backyard on our first date. It took me almost three hours to get ready.

I looked at him. My decision of not showing him any mercy wavered when I looked at his adorable face. I started at him and I realized that he was worried about it too. After all, it was his first date too and things weren't that bad. I was being a little too selfish. I didn't deserve someone as good as him. But this heart. This heart wanted only Black. Butterflies started fluttering in my heart.

"Don't look at me like that," Black spoke up, but he wasn't even looking at me. Keeping aside that small warning, I kept staring at him like a lovesick lady. He's didn't utter a word. I saw anxiety build-up on his face, hints of sadness as time passed by. But then his eyes shone brightly. I knew he finally found someplace where we could enjoy our night. I wanted to look at it and leaned towards him, but he hid it before I could see it. I looked at him instead, and he looked at me back. Our eyes met, and it was like a game had started. The one who blinks first loses.

"I might do something to if you keep staring at me."

"Like what?" I playfully teased.

"When you look at me like that, I feel the sudden urge to claim you right there and devour you. I might eat you up."

"Is that so?" I replied, not taking his statement seriously.

"I'd start from right here," Black said and placed his right hand on my face, tugging aside my hair behind my ear. Then he touched my cheek gently with his thumb.

"Then I'll ravish these pretty lips of yours till you're out of breath." Black pulled his hand and placed his finger on my lips. "And then I'll kiss you here," His finger made its way from my lips to my jawline and then descended to my neck. I subconsciously raised my head to let him continue. My limbs felt lifeless. My heart beats like jumped from zero to a thousand in a small fraction of a second. I felt like I couldn't move or ask him to stop. What kind of dark magic was that?

His touch on my skin felt so intimate. The tenderness filled with affection. His fingers moved and gradually moved to my shoulders and then to my collarbone, slowly going towards my hands." I'll kiss you here, and here, and here." he said.

"And I'll pin you down." Black came closer to me. I had nowhere to run, and so I laid down on the couch. His left hand was on the right of my face, supporting his weight. He was that close to me that I could smell that sweet scent of shampoo. I could feel one of his legs on top of mine. He had pinned me down. He was above me and I didn't see any escape.

"I won't let you go no matter how much you plead. Resistance would be futile. You know, I'm stronger than you." Yeah, he was very strong. His right hand jumped from my hand and clutched my waist. My breaths became deep. I felt that strange sensation in my heart.

"Then I'll kiss you here and here too," Black said it all with a mischievous smile. My poor heart suffered most from his actions and almost exploded. It was to the point of exploding. I could hear it beating like drumrolls before a performance. I could feel his fingers rubbing over my dress and roam wild and free above my stomach. "Here too of course," He smirked while touching the outsides of my thighs.

Even though I was not ready for him, I could not deny him. I couldn't push him away. I thought he was really going to do everything he just said, and I wrapped my arms around his neck. But he suddenly moved back.

"But if I do that, our first date will be ruined. So some other time." Black abruptly calmed down and retreated.

Damn, he was such a devil!

A real one!

Black was vicious. I was angry when I thought he did that on purpose to tease me. But when I saw his face was all flushed too. I knew he barely controlled himself there, and it soothed my mood a little. The way he makes me lose my control, it was really dangerous. It might ruin me, I knew. But as long as he's with me, I'd happily be ruined.

I kept lying there. A little bit of sweat had formed on my skin. I felt the urgent need of the shower again. But his phone buzzed again, and I knew we had to go.

"That's our cue. Let's go," Black said and helped me get up along with him. I was still out of breath, but I was happy. It was finally happening! My date with my angel.
