“I understand. Let’s go,” was my only reply. I knew if we stayed longer, there was no telling what would have happened.
Nashton had me feeling things I thought I locked away. After Jonathan cheated on me, I never wanted to have feelings for another man ever again. That was like me taking a chance on having a relationship again, only to get burned. I didn’t want that to happen to me. It would crush my already broken heart. Still, I was ready to pick up the pieces in my life. It was time anyway, which was why I was all for new beginnings.
After I locked my house, we held hands all the way to his car. He opened the passenger side door for me.
Nash groaned. “You’re going to get me in trouble.”
I giggled since I had done nothing. “If you say so.”
With a shake of his head, he closed the door and walked to the driver’s side of the car. I sent a quick text to Farrah to let her know where I’d be and included my location. It wasn’t the fact that I didn’t trust Nash, but I didn’t know him very well. Still, as I got to know him, I felt safe with him. I had a feeling he wouldn’t hurt me.
“Are you going to tell me where we’re going?” I questioned when he backed out of my driveway.
“Are you a wine drinker?” he asked, taking a right turn.
I nodded. “I’ve drank wine before, but I’m not a heavy drinker.”
“That’s good to know. I wanted to try this new place that’s just opened. They do wine tasting, and I thought that’ll be something you’ll like.” He stopped at the traffic light and turned his head to look at me.
I smiled. “Yes, that’ll be something I like.”
“Good. I’m glad to hear it.”
Nash turned on the radio, and Big X played in the background. I enjoyed his music, but it wasn’t something I listened to on a daily.
“Is Big X your favorite rapper?” I asked him.
Nash frowned and shook his head. “Nah, but he’s a good rapper. Do you have a favorite rapper or singer?”
I shook my head. “No. I just like all types of music as long as it’s good. I’m always jamming to gospel music too.”
Nash laughed. “I feel you on that.”
I yawned and rested my head on the headrest. Tiredness hit me out of the blue, and that wasn’t good, especially when Nash wanted to drink wine. I could easily fall asleep on him.
He glanced over at me before he turned his attention back to the road. “I see you with white or gray on all the time. Are those your favorite colors?”
I smiled. “They are. I love them. What’s yours?”
“Green.”
I frowned slightly. “I don’t know why I thought you would’ve said black.”
He laughed. “Nah, I’ll stick to green.”
We shared a laugh.
For the rest of the ride, we enjoyed a comfortable silence.
When we arrived at Uniquely Winery Vines, it was packed. My eyes ballooned after seeing as many cars as I did. He found a park, parked his car, and turned it off. Nash glanced over at me and smiled. I could look at the smile on his face every day, all day.
“You weren’t lying when you said it just opened. Look at all these cars,” I stated.
Nashton chuckled. “That’s not going to stop anything. Not what I have planned anyway.”
I raised an eyebrow as I turned to stare at him. “Oh, yeah? What do you have planned?”
He winked. “You’ll see.”
