Rachel smiled and took his arm, giving Jared a wave as she shut the door behind her. Rachel still lives with Emily, but only out of convenience for now. The house was large enough that she basically had an apartment and with her going to school, it just made sense. Still she was ready to start feeling more independent. Maybe she should find her own place.
Rachel laughed at Cruz’s joke. It was a little vulgar, but she didn’t mind at all. ”Oh you would like that wouldn’t you? Dinner first. ” she agreed with a wicked grin.
They talked on the way to the restaurant- very typical stuff and then she saw where they were going and she blinked. Rachel hadn’t expected The Radience. Not that she was upset about it - it was a very fine establishment and she knew that Cruz could afford it. It seemed like Cruz had pulled out all the stops for their impromptu date. The fact that he could get a reservation so quick pointed to Cruz’s wealth and the influence of the company he worked for. Still she was all smiles when she got out and she took Cruz’s arm again, letting the gentleman escort the lady.
When the hostess asked about their coats, Rachel unzipped her coat and asked Cruz to help her remove it, revealing the emerald green dress. It had shoulder straps, but thin ones that mostly kept her shoulders bare. The V neckline along with the emerald necklace was intended to draw Cruz’s eyes. She had a certainty that it would. Cruz handed the coat to the hostess and got the coat check numbers. Rachel thanked the hostess. She gave Cruz and smile and took Cruz’s arm as the hostess led them to their table.
”You look very handsome tonight,” she said with a bright smile.
