The One For Him

The One For Him ~ 4

While he drove his car along the freeway, I was left alone with my thoughts.

Is it really okay for a lady to go on a date with a man she slapped just a few weeks ago, a man who changed her clothing without permission, a man whom she doesn't know anything about except his first name?

"Pennies for them."

"Huh?"

"You're so quiet."

Alex glanced at me and there was a worry frown on his smooth forehead.

"Ahm... Mr. Alex Jude—"

"Just Alex."

"Okay, Just Alex, don't you think this is going too fast?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean this. Us. I-I mean I slapped you then I didn't say sorry for that then you went to my school then now we're going out then—" I spoke faster than a bullet train. I knew I wasn't making any sense.

He smiled and shook his head.

"Clarissa, you worry too much", then he glanced at me.

"It's going to be fine. I like you, you like me. We're both adults who are attracted to each other and so we're cool."

"But I don't know you and you don't know me, Alex."

"That's why we are going out on a date so we will get to know each other better. I really like you Claire and I don't want to let this chance go away", he explained, I felt like a was a child when he did that so I pouted.

"All right. Where are we going then?"

"My place."

"What?!"

━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━

It was massive. His largely gated, bachelor mansion was enormous, magnificent and expensive. It spoke volumes of millions of dollars.

"Do you live with your parents?", I was so astounded I asked him that but gladly he wasn't offended. He looked amused, actually.

"No."

"Girlfriends?"

"Never."

I looked at him suspiciously.

"Wife? Kids? Boyfriend?"

"No, no and no", he laughed then he stopped the car at the garage, next to four other luxury cars which of course I didn't have any idea what models they were made of but I saw two motorcycles, big bikes! which looked like Harleys.

He went out of the car and went to my side door. Alex opened the car door for me and lend me his hand. I hesitantly took his offered hand, hoping he wouldn't feel the coldness of it. I started to get nervous.

This was my first date with him and immediately he brought me to his home.

Why?

He squeezed my hand and brought it to his lips and kissed the back of it.

"It's going to be okay Clarissa. I'm not going to do anything you don't want me to do", he gave me that sweet smile of his again and my heart flipped-flopped.

Oh my! This guy is so yummy, yum, yum! How can I resist him? Well, would I want to?

He ushered me towards a flight of stairs which I of course didn't noticed because I was busy checking out his place. It was located at the right side of the garage leading inside the house.

We took the stairs and there were several superhero paintings on the wall. It made me smile. They all looked like they were drawn by a 5-year old.

We went inside the house and I almost swooned.
