"What was he doing here?" Allyson asks . She runs her hand through her hair .

"He was drunk and couldn't drive himself home Ally . So I offered him a place to sleep..." I say lowly .

"Didnt I say specifically for you to stay away from him?" She asks .

"You did." I hang my head low in shame .

"What part of that did you not understand. Gemima I'm trying to protect you , do you want to see yourself hurt?

You let a complete stranger into our home. What if he'd stolen our stuff? What if he had died in here? What if he'd raped you? Oh my goodness Gemima. I'm so disappointed in you." She says shaking her head in disapproval.

"I'm sorry." Is all I can say .

She nods and leaves . She doesnt say anything else .

It kinda felt like I was in trouble with my mother . She really can be strict . But I love her for it.

Now to look for something fun to do on a Saturday. 

Ooh! Ally and I can go to that wine tasting convention.

"Hey Ally!" I yell. Padding my feet to her room.

The light pink coloured room is filled with Beyonce's beautiful voice.  She's playing her album Lemonade.

"What?" She says gently . She's typing something on her laptop.

"Are you going to be busy today? We could go to that wine tasting convention. " I say to her .

The way my voice fluctuates makes me seem like a child .

She looks up,  and seems to be in deep thought. Then her mouth makes a perfect " o " she looks at me with the 'I'm so sorry' look .

"I promised Colt that I'd go to dinner with him and his family ." She says .

"You're meeting Colt's family?" I ask her.

Like meeting your boyfriend's family is a huge step . It's you literally saying that you're ready to take things to the next level . They must be getting pretty serious . Or ...

"Are you pregnant?" I ask .

Her eyebrows rise so high , you'd swear they're a part of her mob of hair.

"What? No! Why would you assume that?" She asks . It's as if she's about to spit her heart out in shock.

"I dont know . Like meeting his parents? That's a bold move , that's like the both of you saying that y'all are like soulmates you know.

Like what happens if y'all break up , then? " I ask her . Sitting on her bed .

The side dips as she sits next to me.

"Dont be pessimistic.  And if things dont work out , then oh well, that's the way life goes. Sometimes you just have to take risks .

And I actually believe that Colt and I are made for each other ." She says getting up .

"Sorry about the convention thing." She says over her shoulder .

Okay,  so what's plan b?

Oh, I'll ask Ty.

I quickly ramage through my stuff in the closet . What outfit says wine tasting?

Well wine tasting sound like something rich people do, so I'm thinking maybe a gown or a cocktail dress .

"Ally!" I whine .

"Blue gown with the long slit!" She yells from the kitchen.

Oh she's good.

"Where?" I ask her.

"Left side!" She says .

I move my eyes toward the left side , and behind her red silk gown is the night sky blue dress.

"Thanks!" I yell . I hear a mumbled 'yea yea.'

After showering , I slip into the blue gown . It hugs my wide hips ,  my small breast and flat stomach.

The slit reveals a sext amount of leg . Right up to my thigh joint .

My natural curly hair rests on my shoulders . As I stare straight onto the full body length mirror .

"Let it loose . That way you dont look over or underdressed ." Allyson says from behind me , before she leaves the dorm .

Sometimes I wish I can find love just like hers and Colt's .

Finally,  when I feel ready . I pull out my phone to text Tyler .

Me: Hey Ty . Wanna go wine tasting?

He replies almost immediately.

Tyler: Hey shawty. Sorry man, I'm out with the guys . But we could go for ice cream midnight if that's alright with you?

Me: Sounds good.

Disappointed is an understatement.  I cant go alone . I scroll through my contact list .

Allyson. Nope , out with Colt

Alyster,  nope! In Canada.

Brent. Hell no, he'll think I want to sleep with him.

Dad , eww no. Dad is really overprotective and just too strict .

Marcelo, out with Ty.

Matthew . No, he's out with Tyler .

Mom, nope . Not possible, she'll embarrass me.

Tyler . Went out with the guys .

Peter pan. Who is that?

I dont know any Peter pan .

I press the name on the call log . The phone rings . After three rings , peter pan picks up.

"Hello?" The guy says in a deep voice. 

Who the hell is that?

"Hi , umh, I found your number in my call log labelled Peter Pan and I just wanted to ensure that I know you." I say , sounding pretty formal.

There's a laugh on the other end . The laugh is pretty sexy , then it stops.

"Oh hey Gem." The person says.

"Jeremy?" I ask into the phone .

"Yea, how are you?" He asks me.

"I'm bored. I don't have anyone to go wine tasting with me." I sign heavily.

"I'm free." He says , in a voice that's lower than a whisper.

"That sounds like a date. Pick me up at six." I say then send my goodbyes.

Six comes by like a breeze, and immediately he knocks on the door.

"Heyyy..." he says the word a little longer than he should . Hot under his gaze, I turn bright red.

"Hi." I say back to him.

He stares and turns bright red under my gaze.  He smiles, a boyish smile.

"You look... gorgeous." He finally says . He gives me a light hug, his hand romes on the small of my back .

"Thank you." I say . My mouth feeling a little dry.

He is in a black dress shirt , which hugs his muscles and what I hope to be a six pack . Black slacks which look amazing on his masculine legs and black leather boots .

After a few seconds of staring at each other . And me drooling over him .

We head to the car and straight to the wine tasting convention center . I enter the location on the GPS.

"How do  you feel?" He asks me.

"I'm feeling good. How about you?" I ask .

"Well , I'm a bit tipsy so I'd say I feel like danger." He says , staring straight ahead .

He turns the key and starts driving . The entire way, his eyes are stuck to the road.

I haven't told him where we're heading but he seems to already know .

"Why are you so quiet.  What's on your mind?" He asks barely  turning his face to glance at me.

"I dont have anything on my mind." I say shyly . It's kind of embarrassing to have a blank mind right?

"You know, I realised that I dont know much about you. Why dont you tell me?" He asks.

"About me?" I ask him staring at him.

"Yea, about you." He says turning to face me too. The smile that spreads across his smile when he looks at me melts my heart.

He is so close to my face that his breath fans my eyelashes.  I take the time to study his features.

He has a beautiful turned up nose. His lips form a perfect line , irregardless of his mood. His cheeks have a strong curve and so does his jawline.

His eyes are like a deep ocean. I find the deepest solace in them. They are eyes you could swim in during a beautiful evening while watching the sunset.

He gets closer to my face. He's staring at me as if I'm the only thing he sees right now.

I turn my face to the window . The overwhelming feeling to kiss this guy can not be good.

He clears his throat.  For the first time , I realise that we stopped . Not at the wine cellar, but at an extremely fancy and expensive restaurant.

He facades his car and walks around the front of the car. His hair flows in the wind. Making him look like a super model.

He opens the door for me and extends his hand for me to leave the car.

"Well I figured you wouldnt want to spend the entire night drinking alcohol on an empty stomach. " he says staring at the sliding the doors.

I stare up at him, he smiles as if he knows that I'm staring at him.

We are ushered to a table lit with a candle and a rose . He pulls a chair for me, which I sit on and he too copied my action on the chair opposite to me.

"Oh, I was about to tell you about myself ." I remind him after he has ordered a stake and red wine and myself crab leg and any side the want to make. I couldn't decide.

"Well my name is Gemima Summer,  I'm 19. I'm from Charlotte.  I'm majoring in design and my favourite colour is white. " I say . His smile doesnt fade .

"My name is Jeremy Cole Goldberg. I'm 20, I was born and raised in West Virginia.  Im majoring in law and my favourite colour is pink." He says .

My eyes pop out of their sockets. A little chuckle slips .

"Pink?" I ask him . We smile at each other as he nods.

"What's your favourite movie?" He asks . A waiter drops our food and drinks on the table.

"You'll think it's stupid. My favourite movie is The Lion King." I say to him and he laughs and nods.

"That's cute. I love Friday. " he says and we both laugh and dig into our food.

The food tastes amazing. I enjoy every bite I take.

"You look like a baby when you eat." He says , staring at me. A wide grin on his face.

"Stop looking at me." I say with a giggle.

He stares at me and just smiles . That smile definitely is danger.
