The Velvet Rose

Chapter 5

Being the fool I was I kept on insisting to pay for her drink until she succumbed and she replied "if you insist you can buy it for me." I did as I said and bought her her drink and before you know it I was escorting her to her building block, whilst engaging in small talk.

Then we reached the lift to take her to her flat when just like that. I took out my phone. She then looked at me and said "you are very random, I don't even know your name and yet you want my number?" Without even thinking I said "my name is Jeremy Redington"

She then took my phone looked me up and down and said "you better not make me regret doing this" she then typed her number on my phone, then gave it back to me and said "my name is abbena by the way and I saved it as Abby xx on your phone." She then gave me a hug and slipped the phone in my blue hanging jumper pocket, and whispered "make sure you call me." She then walked into the incoming lift and waved me good bye .

*Boy was I misled. But she had a body I just could not resist.*

Chapter 6

After two to three months of endless phone calls text messages and social networking sites. I decided to ask her out and if I can be her man. I was love struck to the point I become very blind. My oh my was I such a fool but hey it was love. So I thought.

So I took her out on a river restaurant through saving all my cash from my part time job. I done the whole romantic routine candle light dinner put on my best black suite, made sure my mum ironed it good, no creases or anything got my la Coste Cologne on and proper after Shave, I made sure I was perfect from head to toe.

As UB40 said only fools rush in or was it Elvis? oh well! all I know is I was love struck. When I saw her she looked amazing in her satin black dress and with her red high heels and matching red bag, had her hair straightened out as she got rid of her braids. I loved the way her dress made her dark toned clean shaven legs stand out, oh my oh my it's like I was looking at one of those ancient African Goddess, I see on them pyramids shows on TV.

*I can't believe that I said that*

Chapter 7

This was the moment I was waiting for she was so stunning the mood was perfect, there was romantic music playing in the background, there was a stunning view of the city, with all the bright lights in the background, while we was sitting down in the boat restaurant. I could not stop starring at her could this be real or was it just a dream, I was not thinking with my mind I was just going with my heart. For that specific moment I think I just found true love.

I wanted to speak and declare my heart to her I was willing to sacrifice it all just for this moment. It was weird I wanted to talk but the words were not coming out of my mouth, I remember her talking but I could not hear a word she was saying. My mind was in a state euphoria my body was at the restaurant, but my mind and my Soul was on cloud nine.

Jeremy! Jeremy ! "I am talking to you did you hear what I just said?" Just like that I was back too reality I had to reply "yeah yeah yeah" she looked at me with a puzzled look knowing that I was not listening. However she continued with her stories and this time I made sure I paid attention and answered whenever she asked a question. We then ordered had our food and a few soft drinks as she could not drink alcohol.

Half an hour after we had eaten and had our soft drinks I somehow decided I need to ask her the question, does she want to be with me? Or will she be another statistics and say those same words and break my heart? Fuck it! "Abby! I don't know what I am feeling but I have to ask you will you be my girl as I can't see me Without you?" She looked stunned and surprised for a second and she smiled and said to me "Jeremy I thought we was already going out?"

I was stunned pinch me now I must be dreaming, she just said yes and before you know it I leaned over the table and gave her a kiss. Boy ohh boy it was like fireworks I had my first kiss from the girl I was in love with, my ohh my I was so happy you don't understand. After we kissed she looked at me and said "babes am I your first kiss?" I was like should I lie or say the truth and just like that without even thinking "you was my first kiss" foolish me. She then looked at me and said "good because your mine now, I want no one else having you" we both laughed and enjoyed the boat trip from one side of the river to the other.

*Man was I such a romantic fool but we all learn from our mistakes*
