Love Me Always (Book 2)

chapter 9. Bianca

I not sure what the hell just happened,   why didnt I twig that Ryder was Paul 12pm appointment, if I'd have know I may have pulled a sickie, I havent forgotten what me and Jade discussed I'm just not ready to tell him just yet and certainly didnt expect him to show up today.

Arriving at a Tapas Bar in Carnary Wharf 20minutes later, we are waited to our seats, noticing Ryder already seated.

Paul takes it upon himself to order a selection different dishes for us all to share, from fried squid, mussels, bread and butter, selection if ham and olives.

I notice as Paul places a napkin over his suit not to ruin it, while I cant help but see Ryder watching my every move.

Paul happily plates himself with a selection of food as I look between Ryder and notice he just plates some ham and bread.

I on the other hand just place a few olives on my plate and quickly pop them in my mouth.

Tapas is great and all, it's just not for me, give me a greasy burger any day of the week instead of this fine dining experience, Paul knows this too but clearly not considering my own preferences.

"So Ryder, what's it like living in London compared to Manchester?" Said Paul.

"Its different, London seems to be more full on, I was aprehenceive about leaving Machester but I cant tell you how happy I am I did. " Ryder smiles looking af me.

"Any girlfriends we should no about." Paul questions.

"No. " Ryder shuts him down straight away.

"Just wait until your in all the papers and sponsorship deals, your exs will becoming out of the woodwork. " Paul exhaled laughing.

I gulp, dreading where this conversation is heading.

"I dont think so, I may have slept with a fair few women, but there only ever been one girlfriend, just the one girl for me and deep down I think there always will be." Ryders body stiffens.

"Interesting, so what was she like this ex then? " Paul finding this far to intriguing.

"She was, is the love of my life, we had a good run, she walked out on me thinking I got some other girl pregnant truth is it was never mine, but it was too late to tell her, it was like she had vanished into thin air." Ryder looks over to me.

"Anyway enough about me, what about you two, I'm guessing you met at work, you were her boss, who made the first move." Ryder now looks between us both.

"Me of course. 'Paul gloats.
"I know some one would think its unprofessional but I couldn't help it, the more I got to know Bianca the more I started to fall in love with her."

"Wow, so you love each other? How long have you been dating?  Ryder continues.

"Yes, yes we do,about a year give or take, there was the causal stuff to start with, isnt that right Bianca." Paul chuckles to himself.
" I'm still trying to get her to move into my penthouse, but Bianca's content in her little 2 bed flat and it's secure and safe for them." Paul states.

"For them?" Ryder questions confused from Paul comment.

Say by the bell, literally, Paul's phone starts to ring on the table.

"Excuse me, I must get this. "

"So you love him? " Ryder ask staring into my eyes.

"I'm happy." I say.

"You didnt answer my question, I said do you love him." He ask again.

"Yes I love him, he has given me a good job, security, love, confidence to do better." I hit back.

"What about sex? "

"Excuse me?" I spit out my water.

"You heard me, does he know your favourite places to be kissed? Does he rub his thumb over your clit, whilst thrusting his fingers into you? Does he know you like your hair gripped tightly while you fuck his cock in your mouth? Does he make you moan out his name after every orgasm you have? "

"Cause I havent forgotten Bee, and I never will, I bet your imagining me now, swirling my tongue around your clit, licking your opening and sucking your pussy like a good little girl you are, I bet if I touched you from under the table now your be dripping."

"Ryder just stop, this isnt fair. "

Paul walks back placing his phone back in his suit pocket.

"I'm sorry babe I have to go my other meeting got brought forward, and have a feeling it's going to be along night. Ryder do you mind giving Bianca a lift back to her home address after?"

"I  can grab a taxi." I quickly said.

"Its no hassle at all." Ryder jumps in.

"Perfect, thanks for that."Paul shakes Ryders hand again.

"Babe go enjoy the afternoon off relaxing, I'll see you at work tomorrow, I'll be to busy to pop round this evening but tell David i said hello and I'll see the little one soon. " Paul kisses my lips, dropping a couple hundred pound in the table for the bill and tip.

My face restricts, almost reddening of the mention of David's name. I dont know if I can tell him so soon. Not today.

"How about we get out of here and grab a burger from five guys?" Ryder smirks as Paul has now left.

"Oh my god, yes please anything has to be better than this. " I laugh.

The car ride is almost silence, I turn to look out the window unable to look at Ryder.

"Who's David then? " noticing Ryder now focusing on me and not the road.

I gulp, I have to lie, it's too soon to tell him.

"His my friends son who lives next door. " I lie knowing this will bite me on the arse.

"Good choice of name, reminds me of my dad." Ryder said.

"Oh yeah, how strange is that." Another lie.

"So how come Paul said hed see him soon?" Seriously why is he not letting this go.

"Oh my friends a single mum so I look after David from time to time and Paul helps out." Partly a lie.

"Fair enough,look were here lets go eat some proper unhealthy food now." Ryder laughs.

"Sounds great." I smile.

We order our food, Ryder refusing to let me pay, taking our seats in a corner booth.

At first I was scared, the thought of spending this much time with Ryder after three years, but it felt like old times, we talked, we laughed, god I even had tears in my eyes from laughing so much.

Noticing the big white clock on the back wall I jumped up from my seat.

"Shit. I hissed

"Bee, what's wrong?" Ryder looked at me with concern in his eyes.

"Sorry I just didnt realise we'd been sitting here for the last two hours, I need to go home, I have to be somewhere at 4pm." I state.

"Ok, calm down that's fine, I'll just drop you off there." Ryder chugging the last of his come zero.

"NO! You cant" I shout.

"Sorry i didnt mean to yell, i just have a boring nail appointment, and need to go home first as I usually do my dear old neighbours groceries after, so I need my car." I plead hoping he falls for my lies.

"No problem, let's drop you off home, what's the address."

Ryder drops me outside the front of the building blocks, and I rummage to pull my car keys out of my bag.

"Thanks for a proper lunch." I smile.

"No problem, maybe again soon. " Ryder begs.

"Yeah, maybe." With that I close his passenger door and race over to my car.

"Shit" i sigh. I have 10minutes to get to the childminders before i late for David.
