Mr Hëus went to get drinks and I sat there being soothed by the music.
"Oh My God!...It couldn't be him after so many months". I slowly walked over and there Drew was seated at a table with Danaë. I wasn't sure whether to say hi or run or hide, but I needed answers. Why, would he come into my life turn my world upside down and then walked out without any regards about my feelings.
"Drew?"
"Yes, do I know you?"
Danaë stared at me with wide eyes wondering what was going on.
"Do you know her Drew?"Danaë asked.
"No I dont, have no idea who she is!"
I slowly turned and walked away feeling so embarrassed and stupid. How could I have thought that he could love me.
Drew stood there pondering who this lady was and how she had known him and he hadn't known her. But something about her eyes in sighted familiarity within him.
"Here you go."
Mr Hëus handed Anna a glass of wine.
"Thank You."
"Care to dance."
"Sure, let me see if you got moves."
The music was intoxicating, creating a romantic and serene atmosphere. And before I knew it Mr Heus was tantilizing me with kisses.
"OMG", I thought to myself how much I wanted him in that moment and how seductive his tongue was. He must be Good.
As we moved across the dance floor my thoughts were interrupted. I could feel his distant gaze as if he was remembering who I was and where we met. I was still too embarassed to look and I wasnt sure how I could interact with Danae after such awkwardness.
The music stopped playing and I went to get some wine where I ran in Danae. She stared at me as if she was searching for answers which created a deadly silence.
"How do you know him", she asked bitterly.
"Honestly Danae, I dont know him. Hmmm, it was a mistake."
"Mistake? I dont like you, so stay away from me and Drew. Got it!"
She stamped and turned away. I collected the wine then I returned to my table with my friends. For the rest of the party I didnt see him. I guessed he had rushed out just like Danae. Mr Heus dropped me off and  I managed to get inside quite well. 1:30am the phone had then I began reflecting on the night.
Why would Danae say she didnt like me after all I wasnt with this guy? She behaved so territorial. I sent Mr Heus a thank you text then prepared myself for bed.
Then I heard the Phone rang.
Private number?
I slowly answered, "Good Morning".
"Is this Anna Hills?"
"Yes?"
"I am calling from Muskaate Enterprise and a appointment has been scheduled between you and Mr Muskaate for December 30 at 9am. At the headquarters in Longville Hills."
"Huh?"
Then the call ended.
What the hell is this I thought to myself. But just before I forget the info I grabbed a book and recorded it. Muskaate, that was the name for the store Danae was in but huh?
A glimpse of Drew flashed before me, again, I couldnt have another heartache as a result of this Drew man. Who was him to have such power and control over my life, my emotions and my peace of mind. No! I am not going to this meeting not at all. If he wants to meet then he should come to me. In order to get this out of my mind I called Jade for a girls night out.
We went to our favourite sports bar to get some drinks and chit chat. While I was there Mr Heus called and asked if we could have dinner the next day. I was excited after all I needed someone to fill Drew's gap and he was just the one. The rest of the night was pretty lame, though some guys offered to dance and all. We left the bar about 11 and I got home by 12. I slowly opened the door as I was slightly faded from drinking earlier. Eventually the door swing opened and I saw him sitting on the bar stool as if he was there all night waiting for me.
"Drew, is that you?"
Stumbling to my knees before I could finish. But just in time he reached out his arms to catch me.
And then the loud crashing alarm woke up... BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! I slammed it down to turn it off then I turned in bed groaning. Today was the first day back at work, it was only for half day as I had already marked the students paper and just had the grades to put in.
As I pushed opened the Lecture office door Danae was storming to me with the most irritated expression.
"Hey Good Morning Danae"
She hissed her teeth and stormed through the door. I thought to myself what was this girl's problem after all I wasnt with Drew nor would he give me the time of day. Anyhow, I continued to my department and by 1pm I was out of the office. Grades intact, and courses outlined for the next semester I was ahead of my game. Now to go get sexy for my date with Mr Heus. I was super excited, the intensity that I felt at the dinner made me want more. The text read I will be there at 8pm your place of choice.
I thought to myself how long has it been since I went on a real date, I was new to this place and I definitely knew no restaurant. I called Jade and she gave me some really exquisite suggestions. Lafrigue Entrènt was where I selected, a italian restaurant hmmm seems interesting. What to wear heels, flats, bodycon hmmm?
Most def bodycon, walking seduction with that puppy tone stiletto. I was ready from 7:40 overly excited waiting for his arrival. Then the door bell rang and I knew he was here. I rushed out and met him at the door with a warm hug and all smiles. Damn he smelled Godly and he looked handsomely fine. I could feel my body ache and wanting for him.
OMG I thought to myself am I really going out with my teacher who was my crush. I brushed the thought aside and we were on our way to have fun.
We arrived at the restaurant about 8:45 and was seated shortly after. The restaurant was amazing, the decor, the drapes, the aroma it was as if the restaurant was secretly setting the mood and climate for intense romance. I was in awe of the atmosphere. We formed simple convos here and there reminiscing while commenting on the future. Our meals were served which was rather delicious. The dj began playing Luther Vandross, then he asked me to dance. We walked to the outside patio where the music was even softer and inviting. The view was breathtaking, I laid my head on his chest as we moved acrossed the patio. I wanted him, every inch and breath of me wanted him. He slowly and tantalizing reached down and gave me a kiss on the cheek to say it was time to go. I lost track of time and was shocked when my phone said 12:00am. I reluctantly eased my body away and we headed out for the exit. The ride back was conversational. He brought me home which was disappointing as honestly I was hoping we would go back to his place. Am I being too desperate though? Is he worth being my first though? Could we ever have a future? I asked myself all those questions but I couldnt provide an answer. Its late and I am tired, so I am going to bed.
"Hello".
"Miss Hills, its 10:00 am and you were scheduled for an interview an hour ago. Mr Muskaate does not like being disappointed he takes his time seriously."
Beep Beep.!!!
I hanged up the phone and slammed it down on the bed. Who is this guy from hell knows where to wanna meet me and I should run at his very call. Please!!! He doesnt pay my bills nor gives me income muchless takes care of me. Who the hell is him to wanna dictate to me? After all I am my own woman.
The university reopens January 6 so I have some time to spare for myself. I have always wanted to go on a cruise, but thats not possible, but I could go to a all inclusive hotel or spa or resort. Hissed teeth. I dont know.
Spent the day at home sleeping like hell after all I had no boyfriend to text. Life being single can be damn boring. I woke some time after 6 ordered pizza then went to shower. By 7 the pizza was freshly delivered and I slowly enjoyed it while watching Beyond the lights. The movie was riveting and the romance intense. Only if fairytale existed I would have died for the Mr Right. But its only and will be a figment of my imagination. I have never had a solid relationship in the past. The stupid high school crush then the immature college guys just all a waste of precious time and emotions. Maybe love isnt for me, maybe after all I am not the romantic type. Well Jade is pretty corky and laid back and she has a great guy, a marine at that so after all I have a shot of finding true love. I remember as college students finding a army guy was a big deal better yet the hype and all a that died out, I guess we grew up. Wont hold my breath, then my eyes slowly gave way to sleep.
And then I was awaken, by the sound of a man clearing his throat. I was afraid to open my eyes to see who stood before me. Somehow I wanted this to be a dream but it wasnt, I could feel his glare seeing through all my nakedness.
