Alissa
I've got a leave from the office today. Eric himself told me to take a leave so that I have enough time to
be ready for the date. I bought some new clothes for myself and also some new jewelry and other
accessories. I bought a dress and thought to wear that today. It was completely black and had a deep
v-neck. It came till my knee and had a v shape cut from the middle. The straps were tied behind my
neck. I wore grey earrings and they were touching my shoulders. I wore my black heels. They were two
inches high. I put on my lipgloss of red color and put on some makeup. I picked up my clutch which
was of grey color. I remembered that I have to wear a necklace too. So I had one which was of my
mother. She had kept it in a box before she passed away. I put it round my neck, it was also of grey
color. I left my hair open and just curled them a bit. I quickly went down and looked at the time. 6:58 he
must be on his way. I waited patiently. Suddenly, I saw Jade coming down from her room. She looked
at me and her eyes lighted up.
"You are looking gorgeous" she commented.
"Thank you sis" I said.
"He must be coming I guess" she said referring to Eric.
When I told her about me and Eric she looked at me like I've lost my mind. But when she believed that I
am not joking than she was happy. Suddenly the door bell rang and I suddenly felt nervous. I looked at
Jade and she gave me a reassuring smile. I opened the door and there he was. My prince charming.
He was wearing a white shirt underneath his tuxedo. Underneath he was wearing a black pant and
black shiny shoes. His hair were slit back and he was holding that smirk on his face.
"Like what you see?" He said in a teasing voice.
I blushed and said shyly "Shut up"
"You are looking gorgeous" he complimented.
"Thanks. You are also looking good" I said in return.
"Only good?" He said.
"Very good" I said nervously. He just chuckled and looked straight into my eyes, making my heart skip
a beat. He walked a little forwards and I was frozen on the ground. My legs were unable to move.
He brought his face closer and we were almost going to kiss that suddenly someone coughed from
behind. JADE!!!
I wanted to throw her on the ground right now. Why every younger sibling is like that? He suddenly got
back and we both looked at her.
"I think you both should leave. It's already 7:07. You will be late otherwise" She said with a smirk on her
face.
"Thanks for telling us Jade" I said with a sweet voice but anger in my eyes. We both left the home and
closed the door behind. He opened the door of his Lamborghini for me and I thanked him.
He quickly sat on the driver's seat and started the ignition. We were soon in the city traffic. He started
the radio and one direction's song "Through the dark" started. It was a sweet, romantic song. We both
were listening to the song that suddenly Eric held my hand. I felt shivers went down my spine. His
touch just made me feel like I am electrified. He looked at me from the side of his eyes and smirked. I
blushed a bit and started to look outside the window.
After 15 minutes of drive we reached at a restaurant. He parked the car and we soon entered the
restaurant. The interior was royal. Eric asked the receptionist for the table of two. We were led to our
tables and sat there. Menus were kept in front of us and we both were deciding what to order.
"Order anything Alissa. Don't hesitate" he said and I smiled.
Everything was so expensive. I was so confused about what to order. Soon our waiter came and he
asked us about our orders. But the problem was he was just staring at me and Eric was angry with that.
"What would you like to order beautiful?" He said in a flirty tone.
I shifted uncomfortably in my chair and said "Bagel and lox"
He noted it down in his notepad and then asked Eric "What would you like to order sir?" He said like he
is not interested.
He said "Sauerbraten" He noted it down and left but not before winking at me, making Eric more angry.
"I think he want his face to be rearranged" Eric said with arrogance.
"Hey hey hey....Calm down okay.... Ignore him" I said quickly as I didn't wanted him to create a scene. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Soon he brought our orders and kept it in front of us.
"What would you like to drink?" He asked and gave us a small menu which had names of plenty of
wine.
I looked through it and finally decided. He asked me and I said "Penfolds Grange Hermitage" he noted
and asked Eric he ordered "Domaine Leroy Richebourg Grand Cru"
He noted it down and left. Just after a minute he came back and kept our wines in front of us. I noticed
he kept a small chit under my glass of wine. I looked at him and he winked at me. I opened it and it was
written "Meet me outside the kitchen"
My eyes almost popped out and the chit was snatched out of my hands. I looked at Eric and he threw a
punch at that person. My jaw literally drop. I put my hands on Eric's biceps to stop him. He threw the
money on his face, held my hand and we were out of the restaurant. He took me towards the car and
pushed me towards the door. My back was on the door and he was towering over me. He crashed his
lips on mine and kissed me. It felt so right. I felt like nothing can go wrong now. I know that Eric will
never leave my side.
