The Governor

Semon's pov

"Later in the evening"
Its almost time for me to leave for the Restaurant.  I'm dressed in a black mid-sleeve tube dress that is a little above my knee.  I have my hair held up in a tight ponytail, a high one that is.  I'm wearing a blue heel with a blue marching hand bag.  i have light make up on. I don't really fancy make up so I'm good to go.  I take a quick selfie and send it to Bella before she decides to kill me for not doing that. I giggle when she comments on the picture saying "hot". I'm still in my bedroom when the door bell rings. "Dingdong" ..."oh my" I gasped, he's here. Damn the man is punctual. I picked up my phone and bag then i rushed to the hall, I stopped at the door taking in deep breaths. I quickly checked myself in the huge mirror plastered on my wall in my hall. "Okay"I whispered after I convinced myself that I was looking good. This is who I am I can't force myself to be who I'm not. I the doesn't like me like that... Then fine. I released a sigh for the hundredth time tonight then i  opened the door. Oh my God!  I was blown away.
   "Uh... Hello" i said.  God he's so Hot. "Behave" my conscience shot back. This man was sculptured not given birth to. "Hi" he replied with a smile. He has a deep voice. It's sweet. "Are you ready? " he asked. "Uh... Yea" i said. Why I'm i  so nervous he's just a man . He's not the first man I've gone out with."mm-hmm point of correction. he's not just any man." My conscience replied "This way" he said as he stepped aside for me to step out. I closed the door walking out.
"Did you lock up? "He asked as he walked me to his car.  Woah! I froze a the sight of his car. The latest jaguar model. Oh my gosh. "Yea" i replied trying to compose myself so I don't mess up. I know as a lawyer I have to comport myself and all that .but please spare me some cake. he's not up here in my mind to know whats going on or what I'm thinking. "Its auto-lock? " he asked sweeping the answer from my lips. "yes" i replied with a smile. He opened the passenger door for me when we got to his car. "Thank you"i mumbled as i sat in the car.  Damn these seats are fine! He shut the door. He rounded the car towards the drivers side,  he got in turning on the ignition then we were off my drive way. For sometime there was total silence till he decided to break it.
  "So Semon right? "He asked after a long pause. "Yea ,that's my name."i replied smiling. "Okay" he said then he took a left turn somewhere. I have no idea where his taking me. Okay?. Okay is all he could say.. Uh.. Men. "Calm down" my conscience shot back at me. "Peep"my phone buzzed. "Excuse me" i said then i turned my attention to my phone. "What's going on?" The text read. Its definitely from Bella. "We are not there yet, chill girl. " i replied then i pushed the power button of my phone locking it. The silence returned till he spoke again announcing our arrival
"We're here"he said. We got down from the car after he parked it in the lot, if your wondering why he didn't do the gentleman style.  Before he get to me I was already out of my seat. So we both made our way towards the restaurant. "This is my favourite restaurant " he said as we walked towards the entrance.
  "Wow"i whispered to myself. When we got inside, it seemed like the waiter was expecting us. "This way" he gestured with his hand as he led us to an isolated table at the far back. Why is everyone starring at us. "Cause you're with a hottie." My conscience replied. John pulled out a chair for me "thank you" i smiled as i took my seat. "Your welcome"he replied as he took his seat as well.
We were seated in silence . I Was busying myself with the flowers on the table.  For some odd reason they looked beautiful at the moment.  My eyes hungrily dug holes into the beautiful petals of the flower till John decided to speak breaking my staring contest with the flower. "So Ace, tell me about yourself"he said. Did he just call me by my surname. Before I could answer the waiter Just  showed up from nowhere earning a glare from John.  "Excuse me sir, madam.  Would you like to order now? " He asked. "Yes" John replied.  " I would like to order the best wine that you have in stock"he said with a blank expression .I mistakenly gasped. "What? "He asked with a smirk "Nothing"i replied avoiding eye contact. He chuckled. "What's funny? " i asked turning my attention back to him. "Nothing " he mimicked. The waiter excused himself . "Okay. So back to what we were talking about" John said snapping me out of my daze  "Yea... Uh.. I'm Semon Ace, I'm a lawyer. I work at the ministry of defence. I live in my own house which is located at The East ville Estate. I'm a thirty year old  single woman. And i love reading ,music and food". I informed him. He's just sitting there starring at me  nodding his head. Shoot ! I knew it. I knew the last sentence i said would ruin everything. Especially the food part. I let out a sigh. He starring , its hard to avoid those eyes. "What? "I asked looking back at him."Cool. Cool. Not bad"he replied. " what about you? "I asked "oh me! .there's nothing much to know about me since you already know everything. I basically told you everything at the party"he said. "... Then why did you ask for mine since you also already know them"i protested, then i smiled. "Fine" he chuckled. "I'm John Scott, i have a daughter, which you already know. I'm divorced due to my wife's tragic death. I'm just a simple thirty-five year old man and i'm the Governor. You already know all that I've said. "he said smoothly smiling at the end. Oh blessed Lord. Wait a sec, did he just say his a governor again. I thought it was a joke when he said it the first time we met. I really want to ask if its true because of what Bella said this morning that the Governor of the State is Arran not John. Uh.... I'm confused. Maybe not this state .I'm sure. "Uh... That's not bad. Sorry about your wife though. How old is your daughter if i may ask? " i replied. God is this man lying to me. I hope not. I just don't want to ruin anything by asking such  a question, if he wanted me to know he would tell me. And he already did. "she's four years old"he said."awww cute"i whispered "Yea"he said as he starred at me with his cold dark eyes. Wait he heard me."Uh... "I let out a frustrated sigh. "You look beautiful tonight"he said after a long pause. "Oh! ...thank you"i replied blushing. I'm sure I'm as red as if I just took a bit of some chilli pepper. "You're welcome." He said "Are you ready to eat something? "He asked "yea... I think so" i replied. "You haven't touched your wine"he said bluntly as he took a quick glance at my glass. "Yea. I-i don't really you know uh... "I fumbled with my words. I know myself ,too much alcohol for Semon and that's it I'll misbehave. So i don't want that tonight. "I get it"he said "okay"i mumbled a bit embarrassed that he knows what I'm heading at.  Minutes later our food arrived, we started eating while making small conversations. He's really funny. I laughed at a comment he made. This guy is funny, very funny. "What? Its the truth"he said. "Not all women are like that John" I said for the up tenth time tonight. "No Ace stop covering up for them. "He said then silence took over. "But you're different you know that"he said out of the blue which made my heart flatter.
