Pure Love

Chapter 6 The Morning After The Perfect Night

John POV

I opened my eyes to find the bed next to me empty and my heart sank why would she leave without saying goodbye. I sat up and there on the bedside table next to my phone was a note I read it " Sorry had to dash got an appointment with touch of class tell you about it later over dinner" I put the note back on the bedside table and grabbed my phone I made call to my favorite restaurant to make the reservations.

Just as I hang up the phone and place it back on the table, it pings to let me know I have an email I decide to go and take my shower first I could check it later.

I enter my bedroom after my shower feeling very refreshed and ready for another day. I walked over to my massive walk-in wardrobe and pick out one of my favorite pure Italian cotton suits and a pair of shiny black leather shoes I walk over to my bed placing the items on it. I then walk back into the bathroom shave my face, brush my hair admiring myself in the mirror. I walk back to my room get dressed and picking up my phone I walk into the kitchen to make a cup coffee.

I sat at the bar and drank my coffee and checking my emails it was time for my monthly visit to the showroom in Manchester but I  don't like the idea of being away from Stacey for a whole month and a half.

I begin to think about my options when I get a text,  its from my PA at the office " urgent you need to coming in to the office major new client and they are asking for you" I texted her back saying  " Let them know I am on my way and I will be ASAP thanks"

I calls my driver and tells him to " Bring the car around to the front I am on my way down". After about a forty minutes driver I arrive at the office I enter from the unground staff car park taking the lift straight to his floor. I walk into my office and put down my briefcase picking up the phone I ask PA to show in the visitors.

In walks two very smartly dressed men and they introduced themselves as Jake and Peter from Frobes global and they are looking for an excellent investment banking lawyer to negotiate some of our biggest clients contracts as their current lawyer has resigned.

I show the men to the conference room where they would have more desk space to go over the credentials. After a long meeting discussing their options we shook hands and exchanged contracts.

I was happy for the extra work which means I had to cancel my trip to Manchester for at least another two to three months this excited me as it gave me more time with Stacey.

Just at the thought of her and my mouth began to get dry and my heartbeat speeds up but I can not understand why or how stacey has gotten to me in such as short space of time.

I call my Jess my PA and tells her to " Call William and tell him to use the spare key and go to my apartment and in my bedroom in my wardrobe is my brown Gucci suit and get my brown Gucci shoes to match and bring it to the office oh yeah and tell him he has to go and pick up Stacey he knows the address thank Jess"

I put the phone down and picks up my mobile to text Stacey " William will pick you up at seven to take you to the restaurant I will meet you there and by the way hows your day going? I cant stop think about you"

A few seconds later I receive a response " That's fine my day is going great. Kisses"

I smile and go back to work.

Before long it was time for me to get ready for my second date with Stacey. William had already brought my suit and left to go and collect Stacey but first I told Will to go to the florist and pick up a dozen red roses and a box of chocolates for Stacey.

I arrived at the Restaurant ten minutes early I decided to wait at the bar for Stacey to arrive.

A few moments later Stacey walks in to the restaurant and she is shown to the bar where I was waiting.

The hostess comes back over to the bar to alert me that our  table is ready. She escorts us to the back of the restaurant where there is a table set for two.

On the table there was candles and rose petals and a bottle of their finest house champagne. Stacey and I take our seats, " John this is lovely thank you"

" Only the best for you my love"

The couple tuck into their starters and wine. " So tell me how was your meeting"

" Great we exchange contracts next week and then the follow week I'll be out of town overseeing one of Maxine's biggest clients birthday gala in New York."

" Oh so how long will you be gone?"

" A couple of weeks say about three"

My heart sank at the thought of not seeing her for three whole weeks but I  knew I couldn't ask her not to go because I  know how important this was to her and I  could see how excited she is.

" Dont worry I keep in touch with you" Stacey said as she noticed my mood changed when she mentioned she was going out of town and for how long.

" Look Stacey I know how important this is to you and I am happy for you but I want you to know I am going to miss you so much when your gone. when exactly are you leaving?"

" A week from today"

" Well we better make the most of the time we have now then"

Before long it was time to leave the restaurant I  settled the bill and we left. William was waiting around the corner with the car.

" Where to sir" William asked

" Take us home Will to my place"

Stacey intervenes

" Actual Will take me home please" I  look at Stacey in shock I  opens my  mouth to say something but Stacey just kisses me and says.....

" Not to night I am tired and I got an early start in the morning"

The rest of the ride was done in silent I was looking out the window as I wonder why Stacey knocked me back tonight. " Is she telling me everything" I thought to himself.

When arrived at Stacey's apartment she leans over and kisses me opens the car door and walks up to her door.

Just before she fell asleep Stacey texted John " I noticed you were quite the rest of the drive are you ok?"

" Yes I am fine" i said but was I? I wanted to tell that her I  was disappointed she didn't accompany me back to my place but I know she had explained why already and didn't want to spoil our lovely evening by arguing about something so small.

" Ok good night sweet dream talk to you 2rw"

"Ok night"
