The Vow Of Seduction *Rough Draft Completed*

3.1-Ena (July 12-18)

*Author's note: The contest I entered is almost over! 2 more days! Thank you all for your support!*

Ena smiled at the destroyed closet. This was turning out to be one of the hardest days ever! Why is it so hard to figure out what to wear for a coffee date? I mean, seriously? Like it's just coffee. What do people even wear to things like this?

She had finally chosen a white dress with pastel lilac flowers on the bottom right hand side, a dark purple belt that would accent her waistline, and a pair of wedges that would add about three inches.

She had survived and found the perfect attire and sat down at her table with a small mirror in front of her. Ena grabbed what little makeup she had and decided something in an instant. Today is as good as any, if not better for getting dolled up. He deserved to see a side that wasn't my normal. Definitely out of comfort zone!

Ena looked at the makeup that sat in front of her, a champagne cream shadow, a light pink blush, light pink lip gloss, a mocha colored eye liner, and some mascara. Pretty basic right? Nothing too much or too drastic. Think he will notice?

Slowly she made her way to the nearby coffee shop. As soon as she stepped out of her car, she spotted Santo. He was a sight for sore eyes. The pressed suit, his body perfect; long, lean and muscular. The perfect image of professional that she adored after all the bashing on corporate America. Damn though! Some men, like him, look gorgeous in a suit and tie!

She carefully walked around to the opening in the iron fence so she could head towards him. What is this man thinking? What does he see in me? Whatever it is, he is staring really hard at.

Santo looked up and almost didn't recognize the woman walking towards him. He rushed to his feet, then by her side and walked with her until they reached the booth he had reserved.

"I hope this isn't too public for you?" He looked at her appearance.

Damn there was a vixen under those club clothes! Can't believe she is wearing a dress though.

"No, it's just right, crowded, but not overly. I enjoy quaint little places like this. Those little hole-in-the-walls that no one really pays attention to besides the locals."

"The little diamond in the rough?"

She giggled. "Exactly like that sort of thing." Her sigh was barely audible, but he watched her every move like a hawk.

She is so different. Unlike others, she hides herself, but still manages to be open...well to a particular degree. It drives me uber crazy and I don't know why I feel this way. It's not the same way as Kensa because of our past!

"So what are your plans today Santo?" She looks almost through him.

"Well, I am eating lunch with you today and then I have a meeting at work."

"Where do you work at? We really haven't talked much about our lives outside of the club scene."

"You are certainly inquisitive. I have one question for you to answer before I answer any more of yours though." He watches as she nods slightly. "What is your name? I mean, you said E, but that can't be what is on your birth certificate."

"Ena Marie. Does that help any?"

***** ***** ***** ***** *****

Ena watched him as they talked. He seemed to want to know more and more about her, but she had to be cautious. There wasn't much that she could give him that wouldn't lead back to who she really was.
