Two Can Play That Game

A lady's Gentleman

Esther POV

My door bell rang and I looked myself over as I rub my lip stick against my lips . My red dress was fitted against my slender body , looking classy and all. I added my cologne to my ears and my chest and to my gloves . Slowly going down the stairs I was taken aback to see Jan in red and white . "My mind told me I would be sharing this colour with you tonight "he pointed out with a smirk . My face full with embarrassment. He took my hand as I look at him. His blue eyes dancing along his warm smile. His white jacket and pants pants well fitted , looking like a boss along with his red shirt and red tie and his gold watch and red shoes. His gazed never left mine as he gently took my hands leading me towards his red BMW S6 after I locked the door.

He smiled at me after I stood there looking at him and back at the car. He lead me to my sit as he open the door and I slipped in "thank you" he smiled at me. I was blushing at this point . He then came in and we drove smiling at each other , speechless I guess. He broke the silence saying what I haven't heard in years and when he did I blushed at his tune of voice and his smile. "Your beautiful , your always beautiful " I hate the fact how he made feel like a little girl blushing away with my hands over my face, my cheek red and my smiling now turn to a giggle.

He opened the door for me as I took his offered hand and slipped out of the car . I stood in awe . Candle lights in the shape of an heart with a table for two just in the middle along with a set of glass with champagne . He then took my hands pulling out my chair offering me to sit . With no hesitation I made myself comfy taking in the wonderful moment.

We laughed and talk about various things about our past and we would chuckle at each other while sipping our champagne . " Did you remember how you sneak into my room and I was about to get my first kiss when my mother suddenly open the door and your poor legs were shaking like a leaf " he mocked and I hissed at him . "I told you it was a bad idea"I mumbled at him as he grinned at me. "I loved it, how your lips were smooth against mine, how you would be so caught up in the moment .... Your face was like" He mocked me as he rolled over his eyes and his mouth with a smile and I laughed in embarrassment "I was feeling butterflies" I hissed . He then look at me with his glass of champagne at his lips with . I smiled at him as he pointed at me and said a few things that not only did they made me remembered but I became curious wanting to know why his mother treated him that way

"Why did your mother ....." He lowered his head and cursed in his breath. "I didn't know Kiki.... She made it seems like it was right and all. She told me your family wanted to use you against me and my mother always wanting to be right . She told me how you knew I had money and that my father would die soon and the money and the house and the cars would all be mine. She knew that your mother and your ex and his wife bought that car. She just didn't like you."

I was shocked at this point. Anger rushing through me. So many questions . "So how did you knew about this Jan?" I yelled at him as he placed a finger on his lips telling me to calm down but I wanted answers. He sighed , sat back and looked at me without breaking the gaze. Honesty was all I saw in his eyes. " She left a letter , apologizing , telling me how foolish she was on doing what she did and ruin my life. She was jealous, scared of the fact that I was now paying interest in you more than how I paid interest in her. She was worried, I have the letter with me." His hands now digging into his jacket. He handed me a book that entitled "To my daughter in law" I was impressed .
"She wrote to you" he took to book and started searching the pages. "Please.... Not now ..... " I took the book away from him and placed it on top of my purse. He nodded as we both continue to enjoy the wonderful night together . Deep down inside I couldn't wait to get home .
