A Modern Fairytale

A Night With Her

I woke up before the alarm in overloaded excitement. I finally found it in me to say yes to the date with Zimar. After the last nightmare I had about my past, I didn’t want to risk history repeating again with Arry. I don’t know if those visions are reliable but the feelings as I go through it always felt so real. Arry was upset after the last incident and she kept on asking what actually happened to me all of a sudden. She wasn’t very happy to see me hanging out with Zimar often which made me a little guilty for an unknown reason. I felt uncomfortable to do something she doesn’t approve yet, I thought that was best for all three of us. “Be careful with your decisions” she said, whenever the topic came to Zimar.
As Zimar said, I also thought Arry won’t be serious about taking me to the ball she invited me last week and I didn’t want to go to such a crowded place with millions of cameras capturing each of my moves. But another part of me always  believed her. I got up from my bed deciding to get ready anyway because if she didn’t turn up which I hoped to happen, I could go on the date with Zimar. Thinking about him, I picked out a cute black dress and matching heels. I put on my everyday makeup and wore my hair down as usual, but took my time to curl it even more before spraying the setting spray. I looked proudly at my work on the mirror as my phone beeped to notify a text from Zimar.
“Are you going to the ball?” it read, with a sad emoji accompanying the text. I looked at the time and it was already 9:15. “she’s supposed to pick me at 9!” i said to  myself happily. I texted him back saying “maybe not! Ariana didn’t turn up yet” i sent along with a happily smiling emoji. I was waiting for Zimar to text me back asking if I’d like to resume the date when a shiny black limousine drove through our gate. “There she is” i sulked and got in as the guard opened the door for me. I sat myself comfortably and closed my eyes pretending to sleep to avoid her.
“Hey there beautiful” her sweet voice called and I couldn’t resist myself from looking at her. My mouth hung open as soon as my eyes landed on her for she looked beautiful than ever in a gorgeous silver floor lengthed dress with a side split revealing her long sexy leg.
“Ahem” she coughed to get me back to my senses. “oh.. Hi” i stammered. “you look beautiful “ she complimented me with her warm smile and I blushed and mouthed a “thankyou” cursing myself for being a tomato when I’m supposed to be mad at her for ruining my date. She opened her laptop and started hitting on the keys looking at it intently while I just sat there hoping the destination would never come because I didn’t know what to do or say or even how to walk in front of millions of cameras. “what would I tell the reporters if they ask why Arry bought me here” thousands of questions were exploding in my mind while she was tapping her keyboard peacefully.
“Why are you taking me with you? What do I have to say if they ask me who I am to you? I asked for which she just continued typing as if she didn’t hear a word I said. “Hey!” i called again, “you ruined my date and don’t even care to answer me?!” i said, raising my voice to get her attention.
“ I’m working on an important project. I’d appreciate it if you could kindly keep your little mouth shut and give me some peace” she replied ever so calmly still typing fast on her keyboard. “She must have worked as a typist before” i said to myself and frowned at her.
“Need peace? Then why take me here?” i softly murmured, scared to voice it out loud.
I was lost in my thoughts of the ball when the vehicle suddenly jerked and almost threw me out of my seat. Arry’s hands were quick enough to pull me safe  towards her. I was trying to figure out what just happened when I felt myself being squeezed into her chest. I could hear her heartbeat racing fast. “Are you alright?!” she asked in a rushed tone full of concern. She was hugging me so tight that the beads in her dress was pricking my cheek. “yea, but you’re squishing me” i managed to say and she immediately let me go while checking my hands and legs to see if they’re still attached to my body. “I’m alright” i giggled almost enjoying her making a fuss about me. She gave me a death glare and turned to the chauffeur who was already apologizing for the reckless driving. “Give it to me if you don’t know how to drive“ she snapped at him for which he apologized again.
“of course she knows how to drive! She even rides a big sexy bike” i reminded myself. The vehicle finally drove into a beautiful hotel and I checked the vehicle’s exterior as I got down. There was a big dent in the side I was sitting. As a vehicle lover it saddened me to see the damage on this sexy sleek creature. “come here” Arry grabbed my hand and pulled me into the hotel, checked in and took me to a beautiful room with the beach view.
“OMG she bought me to a hotel room!?” i freaked out as realization hit me. Before I start to say I’m not that kind of girl she said, “you’ll be safe here. I’ll see you after the ball” and left me standing staring at the door as she shut it behind her. I couldn’t process what just happened. “She invited to to accompany her to the ball but left me at a hotel to go by herself!?” i asked myself. I tried to get out of there but her guard standing outside the door told me he had orders to keep me inside.
I was furious at her for wantedly ruining my date for nothing. I kicked away the soft carpet and threw myself on the bed. The sheets were so soft and comfy. The room service bought me my favorite dishes for lunch and all I did was eat and eat and occasionally savour the beautiful view from the balcony. I watched some of my favourite TV shows and started laughing out loud at the comedy scenes. That’s when I realized I’m actually enjoying my me time.
I woke up to the sound of running water. I opened my eyes to a grand ceiling. I woke up with a start and realized where I was. I’ve fallen asleep through the TV show clutching a bag of fries, spelling half of it on me. It was already evening and Arry stepped out of the shower wrapped in a bathrobe looking wet and sexier. I forgot to be furious at her while being too busy in checking her out.
“You’ve ruined the bed with fries all over” she said and climbed up from the other end. She laid herself gracefully on the bed and closed her eyes looking like a sleeping beauty. That’s when I remembered I ought to be angry with her and jumped out of the bed and laying myself down on the couch. Ten minutes passed she didn’t open her eyes or talk to me again. I threw a small cushion at her to get her attention and let her see I’m sleeping on the couch because I’m angry. But she merely pushed it away still not opening her eyes. I decided to slowly climb up the bed and check if she has fallen asleep. As I went close I saw her long thick lashes, her sexy cheekbones and her pulp sexy lips were all relaxed and sleeping. I jumped when I heard her saying “Enjoying the view?”. I turned tomato red again and tried to go back to the couch but was too embarrassed. She slowly opened her eyes and smirked at my red face.
“Why did you ruin my date?” I asked straight at her. She sighed and said i wouldn’t want to understand for which I insisted on telling. “Why do you like him so much?” she asked.
“He’s so kind! A gentlemen and the man of my dreams!” i said and she merely laughed at it.
“Every girl he dates thinks so” she chuckled.
“I’m not every girl “’i said back furiously
“Naive she said and added “let me rest now, if you keep asking silly questions I’ll get another room she said and turned her back to me.
I went back to the couch thinking of what she said about Zimar. There was a part of me which believed everything she said. I tried to shush that voice and sleep. It was a cold night and in my dreams Arry wrapped me up with thick sheets and kissed me good night on my forehead.

I wished it was real.
