Diamonds For Dinner.

Chapter 8

'I know its crazy, we just met last week and now we're lovers'

'Yeah kind of rushed but lets see where it takes us' I blurred out. James wasn't that bad, he seemed witty and clever but his blue eyes were like a ocean shimmering from afar along with his light brown hair. He was a producer, he wasn't really famous but he was rich. It wasn't that that press would write articles about him everyday.It was more as he was living the life of a millionaire but the world never knew.I thought to myself in the moment, whats there to not like? He's got it all. He's tall, handsome and has a great career. He's got everything I wanted but I wasn't really aware of how his personality was so I didn't judge him so much. I was once aware of the things that can happen if you have the personality of a greedy man, Brad had already taught me a great lesson. I knew I never wanted anyone to teach me that again.

The food arrived and I picked up my fork to begin. 'Lana, I am going to my country home tomorrow, at 9. I need to just check on things, would be amazing if you could come along, It'll be a amazing day surely if you're there'

'What time do we come back from there?' I asked him

'9 at night'

'You know my deadline is to sleep at 10 or 11'

'Its just one day, call your manager or I'll do it for you. Cancel everything'

'No I can't do that'

'Alright then I'll do that for you'

'No you can't' I disagreed

'Yes I can, now finish your food, love'

With that I didn't talked throughout the meal but I thought to myself how wonderful of a man he was. Brad never cared to fight back with me when I disagreed, he just went along the flow and agreed with me and left me to help myself. Not to mention, he never really did take me to fancy hotels unless it was I, who was paying the tab. I never realized that Brad actually never cared for me while I was there, all this time, thinking about how perfect we were for each other. It's the universal truth when you give so much love to someone, you except them to do the same and when they don't. You break down or you fight back but you don't give up. You stand there with all your strength, still willing to be there if they just say they love you, if its the lest they can do. 'So I'll pick you at 9 tomorrow, takes a few hours to reach there, this dinner with you was great, really, I am not kidding' James said. 'Same goes for me. I wasn't expecting such a good time, in all honesty' I told him. I got up from my seat and stood there while he got up too. Now was the time - I thought, we kiss or we miss. In the thought of that moment, James came closer to me, almost as he was aware of what I was thinking. He blurted out an I love you and leaned for a kiss. I stepped back and said 'I love you too' while I bend over to kiss, his cheek. I whispered 'Bye' and turned around to go home. I felt like I made him feel embarrassed when I didn't kiss him but I heard 'Bye, love' as I was walking out to my car, it relaxed my feelings. This night, did change my life in many ways. I thought about Bard and how he wasn't part of everything anymore and while I thought about him, I remembered there wasn't any feeling I felt when I thought about him. It was just like trying to remember that stranger you saw on the train a day or two ago. He didn't or wasn't here or there or anywhere for me, now. It was a new chapter. I was ready for this, even if it was all a rush.

I parked my car in the garage and ran my fingers through my dark brown hair. It was only when I was opening the entrance door, I realized I was beaming from ear to ear. It was a great feeling especially when you feel it after such a long time. I collapsed on the sofa, and took off my shoes. Threw my bag on the other sofa and closed my eyes. Thinking about what have I done today. I thought about what to wear tomorrow for the country trip. It was perfect, it was a little escape from the city life and that's what I needed. I needed peace, I wanted peace. I was already starting to love James. He wasn't like my previous dating history. He was new or lest he promised to be something new and I believed him, to some extent. I didn't knew him much but I knew that I didn't needed to ask him much as well. If I wanted to know what he had done so far or how he was, I just needed to search his name on wikipedia and the rest would be history. I couldn't search Brad on wikipedia, the world wasn't aware of this man and slowly, slowly I wanted to join the world and with every moment which was taking place. I felt my heart drifting away from its old rules and believing the promise of someone I barely knew but James had this smile, exactly what they call a million dollar smile but it was much more than that. I didn't stop to think about why he seemed clever and witty to me. I just went with it. Maybe it was my wrong thinking or maybe I was just paranoid by my past. Whatever the case was, I was happy where ever I was standing in life, I didn't needed more than that. I had happiness and it was, in that moment all I wanted.
