Two Worlds Crossed

Chapter 25

EZRA

As soon I get to the restaurant, withholding sunflowers, I look around the place and forget how fancy this place but I know this place inside and out from the stupid work parties. In my opinion, it's all with some annoying drunk people who sip on wine or champagne until they need to call a cab ride, but I can't judge since I have been wasted before my life.

I sit at the bar; a lady walks up to me when cleaning glass cups, "What can I get, Sir?" she asks without looking up. If I should drink or not, I sign as a decision, then I think about, "Hmm... just get me a vodka," I demand.

Dry or on the rocks.

Does it fucking matter?

The lady shrugged her shoulders and got a vodka glass, " It doesn't matter. It's just part of my job," she applied as she put in the drink, "Whatever. Give me dry," I snap.

I need something to drink because the last thing I need is acting like the cat got my tongue, then seeing someone walking over the bar with a black slit dress.

Fuck! It's Rachel. I'm in deep shit.

"Here you go," the bartender gives me my drink, "What?" I ask to snap back to reality, "Your drink you ordered," she told me as I'm not even paying attention from being distracted by how sexy she looks.

Excuse me?

Yes.

"The woman who just over there," I point at Rachel, "Whatever she orders, just put in my tab," I demand, pulling out my wallet and handing her my credit card. I keep glancing over her, and it's like my eyes are like a magnet to her from looking at every curve and angle.

As I look, take a sip of my drink when seeing from a distance that she's near me, "Stay calm, Stay calm," I repeat to myself over and over again, " Excuse me?" she sweetly says, I turn around when holding up the flowers.

"EZRA?!" she yells out in anger, but if it makes me eager to make her say my name repeatedly once I can, what's underneath that dress that needs to off, " Hello Raya," I greet her smile.

Rachel looks at me then at the flowers, " Please for the love of god that you are my admire," she begs, which I love how she begs, I hope she does that all night. Okay, now I sound like a dick as usual, "I'm your admire," I say, standing up and trying to get closer, but she walks away" Get the hell away from me!" Rachel yells out, runs out of the restaurant, "Wait, Raya," I utter out, catching my breath as fast I can run. I like my feet are in quicksand if I move closer, "Please let me explain?".;

She stops her tracks, "What else is there to explain? Cuz since I met, I don't know what to believe what comes out your mouth. Like explaining why you've not talked for days or why the scavenger hunt," she screams out loudly, hands are on her hips.

I sign, "Raya, I'm so sorry. Please believe me. Have dinner with me and you have the right to leave anytime," I beg, as I feel raindrops falling upon my face and hoping she comes. She looks at the limousine, then back at me to see the sadness, "Fine but I still can leave, right?".

Damn, she's stubborn, "Yes. Anytime," I demand.

She nods, walks closer to me, and heads back to the restaurant.
