Crossing The Devils Path

chap 5- so called date

Richards pov:
Thank god for my father I could do all of this. To clear your confusion I am saying this because my father liked everything perfect and detailed. He not only gave a thorough list of what Richas post is, where she worked, her past relations ....everything. He even used facebook and instagram to find out her likes and dislikes.

Here I was making preparations for our so called "date" . I was nervous but I did not show it on my face nor did I let it reflect in my actions . No woman ever made me nervous like her. I was basically nervous because I had to make her fall in love with me. Even if she already knew it was part of our plan I had to make sure she fell head over heels for me because we had to look like a couple. Thats why I decided to call her on a "date". Though in all honesty the only relationship I wanted with her was on my bed with no strings attached . She was attractive in a sexy more like kinky way . Plus the fact that she was a foreigner ;an indian , made it all the more appealing for me. Her natural beauty was something incomparable to the girls I had met , more like slept with up till now . Shes even more beautiful that Samaira .
Samaira! Where did that thought come from? I hadn't thought about her since a really long time . Ugh! She was the woman I hated with all my heart. My bood boiled even when I thought about her.

"Sir we have everything ready. Kindly take a final look so we can make necessary changes , its almost 8" the organizer came and said.
I looked around at the preparations and stuff , it looked perfect. More like girlish , Disney princess fantasy and that to just for a date . I nodded my head in approval and they left.

It was already 7 which means I had 45 minutes to get ready and come back to the out house. Plus I also had to prepare what I was going to tell her about our plan and her role in it.
This is going to be difficult I knew but impossible or not depended on her approval and her reaction.

Richa's pov :
I am so done with all this. Two and a half hours and all I have been doing is getting ready for "the date ". With a man I barely know , oh wait to be precise I don't know him at all. Cant we just have a "normal conversation" our a "normal dinner". But no! Mr Carlson wants to do everything in style! Men are so annoying, really.

After what seemed like almost 2 hours I finally got up to look at myself. When I saw myself in the full length mirror.
Behold! I couldn't even recognise the woman in front of me. They had streaked my hair red from down and had straightened my curly hair.
I looked beautiful no doubt but more then that I would say stunning.
If I dressed like this at work I would have jaws dropping to the floor . I had had a complete makeover and the purple gown I chose to wear looked fabulous on me. It was a full sleeve lace piece gown , simple and classy . I had decided to wear black louboutin pumps with it but since the jewelry I was wearing was silver with small stones studded on it , I decided to wear silver stilettos.

I looked at the clock, it was 7:45 pm . Now is a good time to leave I thought. Not forgetting my manners I thanked all the people who helped me dress up for tonight before they left. Once they were gone I proceeded downstairs to head towards the outhouse, which may I say I had no idea where it was.
As I reached down I heard a sharp intake of breath, turning around I saw it was Richard who was waiting down for me. I was shocked because I was supposed to meet him at the outhouse. Yet here he was all dressed up in a jet black tuxedo . He looked hot, sexy and even a little cute . His mouth was slightly open seeing my makeover ; he was shocked I assumed. Honestly, I was more then shocked when I took a look at myself in the mirror.

I hadn't realised I was completely checking him out until he cleared his throat and said
"Like what you see?"
He was smirking and I was standing there blushing furiously. But I decided for a nice come back so I replied
"As if you don't like what you see Mr Carlson."
His jaw clenched at what I said .
"Don't ever call me only Mr Carlson it reminds me of my father which I am not very fond of" he said.
I made a mental note of it and smiled at him. Changing the topic I decided to ask him something since we had already started to leave the house
" you were suppose to meet me at the outhouse right? So why did you come here?"
"Its only out of courtesy and may I say even curiousity that I came to pick you up. Plus I realised you are new to this country let alone my house so me being here might be helpful" he said shrugging his shoulders.
God I really don't know how am I going to survive throughout our date if he keeps looking so attractive . Its unnerving and makes me feel so lower than him.
"Curiousity?my makeover?" I asked
He simply nodded and shut the door behind us.
" The outhouse is across the lawn so would you mind walking it up? Or we can go in my car if you're not comfortable to walk so much in the dress."he asked , almost as if he was genuinely concerned.
"Not a problem I love walking " I said

After that we quietly walked side by side till we reached the outhouse.
When I saw it I was stunned. I knew when it came to " The Carlsons " everything would be luxurious and larger then life kinds. But this what not what I had expected.
It was a two storey outhouse. It looked like a villa more then an outhouse . I could see red lighting inside and it looked well lit. All in all it looked like a cozy place one would love to spend a vacation in.
As we neared the door Richard opened it and motioned for me to get in first. Once we both were inside Richard turned and shut the door.

I started walking forward and I saw a beautiful setting for a date.
A white and black table cloth was spread on a square medium sized table. Two bottles where placed in an ice bucket and wine glasses where set upside down on the table.
"Shall we?" He asked
"Sure " I smiled and sat down on the chair Richard had pulled for me .
Such a gentleman but it feels like honey on sugar, given the fact that we dont know each other.
Correction! U dont . A voice in my head said.Doesnt mean he doesn't ,hes rich and influential he could have found out everything he needed.

Once i was seated I looked around the place. It was beautifully decorated with red and white roses and balloons. Classy was the first thought that came to mind while seeing it. Soon enough Richard came in with a covered bowl in his hand. I hadn't realised up till now that he wasn't still seated next to me.
"I will be your server tonight. At your service mam." He said and bowed down to me.
I couldn't help but let out a laugh at which I saw Richard's jaw clench and eyebrow rise up.
"Sorry " I said "you look cute in that attire " I smiled and complimented him.
He smiled at me genuinely and placed the food in my plate. It was surprisingly it was pasta. I loved pasta but how did he know? Guess you were right about the influential thing. But who cares enjoy your pasta ask questions later.
I dug in my pizza and started eating and relishing it. I also involuntarily let out a moan of pleasure when I took its first bite. All this while when I was peacefully enjoying my pasta I hadn't noticed Richard had started eating too. But he used a fork and spoon and ate the pasta in a annoyingly sophisticated way. While I simply used a spoon.
We ate in silence until his phone rang. He picked up the call and excused himself while I enjoyed my meal.
When he came back he had a very disappointed look on his face.
"I will have to leave immediately. Can you please be here when I come back. It shouldn't take more than an hour . Will you be ok all by yourself here?" He asked with concern etched on his face.
"Uhh ok but.."
"Thanks Richa I will be back sooner than you think I will. Please make yourself at home ." He said and left without even waiting for a proper response or reaction from me.
"Come back soon. I don't like staying alone in an unknown place ..." I completed my incomplete sentence which i was telling Richard . Unfortunately richard had already left before I could complete.

Now I was stuck in a place I dint even know.
So much for our date.
