HEAL ME

CHAPTER 17

So sorry my lovely readers I just got back from school so there has been a lot of house chores and "family bonding" my apologies once again but here's another chapter.

Lolita

"Bye Sister Anne I'll call you" I said

"Okay bye" she waved as I got into the taxi , it was already late in the evening by the time I got to Andre's house.

I paid my fare and entered the the house the first thing I noticed was the house was oddly quiet, maybe Andre was sleeping.

"Andre!" I called out to be sure

"I'm at the garden!" He responded

Dropping my purse on the counter I headed outside to the garden reaching there I stopped in my tracks.

The garden was beautiful I mean it was beautiful before but now it had lights and a table for two in front and Andre was beside it, my eyes were already watery just from the view...I felt a figure come beside me I turned and saw a Butler.

"May I show you to your table Miss" the Butler said as he extended his arm

Hmmm....fancy

"You may" I said as I linked my arm to his and walked towards the table

As we talked to the table I noticed Andre smile and it made me smile more, reaching the table Andre pecked me and pushed out the chair for me to sit down.

"For my lady" he said

"Thank you" I said as I sat down "what's the occasion?"

"Us" he replied

"Us?" I repeated looking confused

"Us" he said again "Antonio you may serve the main course now"

"Sure sir" Antonio said with a bow

I felt giddy at that moment like I was on first date, well technically it is my first date and the way Andre was smiling at me was just surreal... he made me feel surreal. Antonio came and placed two plates in front of us and an ice bucket with what  I'm guessing is  champagne inside.

I smiled at Antonio after he poured the wine and left I glanced at Andre and then at the fancy food that I didn't even know the name.

"Dig in" Andre said

"Sure" I smiled as I picked the fork and knife there were also spoons.

I should've learnt how to use cutlery when Sophia offered

I looked at Andre who was eating effortlessly with his fancy cutlery and I felt relieved when he dropped it and started eating with the spoon.

I dropped mine and picked up a spoon and took one bite of the food and mehn..was it divine

""

"Its amazing" I moaned as I took another bite

"I'm happy you like it"

"I sure do...but seriously Andre why all this, it kinda feels like a date" I said as I sipped the champagne

"That's because it is"

"What?"

"Yes" he said as he straightened up "I couldn't wait till I was healed to take you out so I decided to do so here I know it's not what you expected-"

"Perfect" I interrupted

"Mm?" He asked confused

"Its perfect even though I'm a bit under dressed " I said smiling
