Sapphire Blue [The Grim Reaper Chronicles, #1] (Editing)

chapter thirty one

When they got outside, a white Limousine was outlandishly waiting for them in front of the building and the driver was standing in front of it, patiently waiting for them to arrive. The driver straightened his back immediately he noticed their presence and bowed slightly to Lestat who only nodded and swept his gaze back on Samantha. Without waiting for the driver to open the car door for them, he proceeded in doing it himself and led Samantha inside with his hand on hers while the others fiddled their way in.

The chilly atmosphere in the car greeted them immediately they settled in and the girls found themselves gasping for breath at the luxuriousness of the interior designs of the limo. Samantha and Lestat sat beside each other while the rest of them chose to sit opposite to them and at the farthest end of the car just to marvel at the beauty of the interiority till whenever. They cautiously took their seats on the leather seats that was designed in a bench-like manner and acted as if they might ruin the beautiful set if they carelessly sat on it.  If each of them could voice their opinion at that instant, they'd have said to start worshipping the whole settings of the car because to them, was too beautiful to be occupied.

A flat screen delicately projected at the highest part of the car, a mini bar with a thousand of neon lights in different alluring colours, an aux put beaming out a rhythmic tune of jazz, a stereo system with impressive equalizers and amplifiers to strengthen the bass of any music being played, a moon roof that gives one a clear access to watch the stars and the beauty of the dark skies, climate control; power privacy division and other things they couldn't describe was definitely worth turning into a god and going down on their knees for. The exquisiteness of the car could not be compared to any other at present and in the future. It was just too perfectly produced for just human use.

Samantha exhaled outwardly her compliment on the car to Lestat and made him realize she felt like staying in it forever. Not to be mistaken, she wasn't one of those who fell easily for beautiful things and it wasn't like she was overly grazed by it. Even if she was a common girl in a random world, it didn't mean she didn't know how luxury tasted like and she wasn't even anxious about being wealthy. But that didn't stop her from wondering what kind of person Lestat was. Owning expensive cars and dressing lavishly wasn't something a humble person could afford. There had to be something about him she hadn't known yet.

Enjoying the inner confusion written all over her face, Lestat smirked and curves his lips into an arc thereafter. "Worrying about something?"

She shook her and smiled. "No, Nothing. Just amused by the value of possessions you've got."

Lestat smiled and ruffled her hair in a fatherly manner, much to Samantha's surprise. "A tip of the iceberg is what these are."

While she was trying to understand his words, Lestat pressed on the power privacy division button and ordered the driver to step on the gas when he came into view. The driver nodded and kick started the car right after this act, stepped on the gas as instructed and tore into the beautiful and busy streets of Washington with an alarming swiftness.

The windows were heavily tinted with a dark colour, so they could not see what was happening outside the car. But with her imaginative sense, Samantha could feel the people on the streets doing their business with happy smiles on their faces. Washington was a small state, but the people in it managed it very well and did everything with love. And the crispy atmosphere outside said it all. On a normal day, she'd have loved to step outside and enjoy the air fort for a while before starting the day but presently, she was satisfied with being in this limousine.

"I have never seen anything so beautiful as this. It makes me feel like I was born at the wrong place mere experiencing this dazzling world."

Lestat chuckled and noted the ting of exaggeration in her words. Another thing he noticed about her was that she complicated everything_ good or bad. Even when the thing in question didn't necessarily deserve a hype, she was always sure to extol it in a pleasant way. That, he also liked about her. Someone who made everyone and everything feel good around her even in a rough situation was definitely worth his attention. Even when Evelyn framed her and accused her of stealing, she dealt with it with composure and didn't utter any bad words against her. If being pushed to the wall, Lestat was sure Samantha wouldn't budge.
