A Romantic Meal for Two.
"Where are you going all dressed up to kill. Billy asked Mack. "You smell like Rackhams beauty counter"
"I'm taking Miss Brightwell out to dinner" said Mack.
"Who the hell is Miss Brightwell"? Asked Ryan.
" She's my solicitor and she has been so kind to me. She comforted me when I cried at Daisys funeral"
"I bet she did, with pound signs in her eyes." Said Ryan, and are you going to bed with her after, or have you already done that already?
"There is no way I'll be stopping the night. What do you think I am, a sex maniac? Mack said in disgust "
"YES!" Billy and Ryan shouted.
"She's not that type of girl" said Mack. "She is beautiful and kind and is the spitting image of Julia Roberts and she isnt after my money as she comes from a rich family. They are friends of Kim Tates.
"Oh get you" Billy laughed. "Does Aaron know about this Lucy then"
"Yes of course he does he met her at the funeral. There was only me, Aaron, Lucy and Manpreet at the funeral as poor Daisy had no relatives.
"Take notes and we want a step by step account of this night of passion" laughed Billy.
"There will be no night of Passion. She said she will show me round her apartment. She lives in one of those luxury apartments in Clarence Dock in Leeds. And if I like it I might buy one" Mack said proudly.
"You're a fast worker." said Ryan "bet you do stop the night"
"Well you can't ask her to slum it here can you, I mean how often do you change your sheets" laughed Ryan"
"I wash them twice a week" said a begruntled Mack. "and I use those little ball things you put in the machine to give them a pleasant smell"
"And what about all your teddies? said Billy jokingly. "You couldn't ask her to share your bed with those could you"
"For your information, I look after my teddies and they smell gorgeous. Anyway our relationship is a purely business one" said an annoyed Mack.
"Oh yes" laughed Ryan "A business arrangement with perks"
Mack arrived at the restaurant. I am so nervous Mack thought to himself. I've never been out with anyone as beautiful as her.
Oh there she is. "You look wonderful Miss Brightwell" a nervous Mackenzie said unable to take his eyes off her. She's a vision he thought.
"Why thank you Mackenzie. You look very dapper yourself. You look so different in a suit and by the way call me Lucy."
"I think our table is ready Lucy" said Mackenzie hardly able to take his eyes off the beautiful woman he was taking out to dinner. I'm a bag of nerves he thought holding the chair for Lucy to sit down. She is way out of my league. God she's beautiful. Bet she's got a boyfriend.
"How's Arron Mackenzie. Are you and him in a relationship" Lucy asked.
"Well its complicated Lucy. I've just come out of a relationship and I'm afraid I acted like an idiot and hurt her"
"Her? Oh! said a surprised Lucy. "I bet all the women are after you Mackenzie. You're a very attractive man, Mack you're blushing" Lucy laughed.
" Do you have anyone in you life Lucy?" Mack asked.
"No I haven't. I've concentrated on my career. But now I'm established I think it time to think about settling down."
"You won't have any trouble you're drop dead........ sorry Lucy I meant to say you are very attractive"
"Why thank you Mackenzie"
" I'll get the bill Lucy" said Mack.
"I cant wait to show you my apartment, we could be neighbours if you decide to buy, there is one for sale I believe" said Lucy to Mack who was all fingers and thumbs looking for his bank card.
God I'm as nervous hell, he thought.
