The drive to the restaurant was quiet. To my surprise, I thought we were going to take a cab to the restaurant instead James has his own driver.

"Good evening, Miss Goshea." The blond-haired man with a cheerful smile greeted me as he saw me walking out from the apartment with James.

"This is my driver, Harold King," James introduced.

"Oh, please, just Mia," I said.

Harold politely opened the door for us and smiled. Once the door closed, James kept staring at me like I'm a sweet dessert that he craved. I shifted uncomfortably and pretend to find interesting at the buildings as I stared outside the windows. Secretly, I did find it interesting. I was amazed by the beautiful night lights glimmering across the city. But I could feel James' stares burning on my skin.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"At Wanderlust," his blue eyes sparkles when his gaze met mine, "Remember my sister, Cailin?" I nodded. "She's the owner of the restaurant," his gaze falls on my lips. Crap, what is wrong with that hot and magnetizing stare that made my body melt. Then his beautiful blue eyes stare into mine and the whole seems to stop forever.

The moment we arrived at the restaurant called Wanderlust, James - being a gentleman - he walked to my side and opened the door for me. He explained that the restaurant was at the top floor, so I assumed it would have a great view of the city.

The restaurant was indeed incredible when we arrived at the top floor. The interior was more into exotic rose red with a big grand ebony chandelier hanged at the centre of the room. James' hands always on the small of my lower back and sometimes I could feel his fingers brushed my hips lightly.

We were brought to our table near the glass windows with a spectacle view of the city lights below us

"This is beautiful," I whispered.
James grinned, and I swore it was the sexiest smile I've ever saw. James took my hand and kissed it, but I quickly slipped it away. Why is he acting like this? This was not the Mr. Ernest I knew. I looked away from him and trying to regain control of myself from saying things that could ruin the night. Once our order was taken, I looked away from his heated gaze.

"Mia, I don't know how many times I have already told you, but again, you look ravishing tonight," I looked at him and I can feel my cheeks reddening. "And I want to rip that dress off tonight," James lowered his voice as he circled my hands.

Damn his deep husky voice and his touch!

I couldn't move. My eyes locked with his and I swear when he said that last words, my panties was soaking wet. I pulled my hands away when I realised we were in the public.

"Mr. Ernest, you can't just touch me like that,"

"Why not?" The corner of his mouth tilted showing off his sexy smirk.

I looked around at the other people dining in the Wanderlust, "We're in the public,"

"So what? You're not my student anymore,"

"But-"

"Enough Mia, I don't want to ruin this moment because of small stupid things,"

We were silent for a moment as the jazz swaying across the room. Yet, I have many questions in my mind

"Why now, James?" I finally asked. "What's the reason you bringing me here?"

"I admit I was being a jerk back then, Mia. And I want to apologized," James took my pale skin hand and kissed my knuckles. "I wish I can turn the time around,"

I let him kissed and brushed my hands this time so I can captured this moment for a while. He was being the biggest jerk I have ever met but still, he was my ex-professor. Why was he here now?

"What's the actual occasion, Mr. Ernest?" I asked as I slowly took my hand away from his grasp.

"Occasion?" His eyebrows raised.

"Yes, the dinner." I said. I drag my eyes away from him and take in the view beside me. James casually leaned back on his seat and stared at me.

"Mia, my beautiful Mia. Look at me, I want to see your beautiful eyes," his deep husky voice slowly making my eyes dragged back to him like a magnet. Then suddenly he pulled out something from his chest pocket and placed it on the table. My whole body stiffened.

It was my notebook.
