Meeting Innocence

4

"Here is your water sir and here is your coffee Bella" Victor says placing the glass of water and the cup of coffee on the table breaking the awkward silence that was consuming us. My eyes drift from the glass of water to Bella who says,

"Thank you Vic" with a sweet smile then turns from him to look at me, her eyes glowing with a hint of excitement.
The dim lighting of the room gives a more chilling feel.

Nervous.
For the first time in my life I am so nervous and so afraid.

"OK enjoy" Victor says and walks away with his hands behind his back like how most exquisite chiefs from these expansive restaurants do.

I take a few sips from the cold water to soften my already dry throat and sliding of the cold water down my throat gives a some what cool session.

Silence.
Until now she keeps her silence making me even more nervous. My hands are already shaking that I have to gulp every now and then.
Dam it!

"Please just say something" I say and she gives a somewhat confused look, a frown graces her forehead.

"Excuse me?" She asks rising her right eye brow leaning to the table.

"Am 30 so what now? What do you think?" I ask the most unnecessary question there could be and she still gives me a confused look.

"I don't understand, what do you mean? And what has your age got anything to do with me? " She askes leaning back to her chair, her right eye brow rising in a questioning manner.

It becomes silent for a few more minutes, my mind goes totally blank that I don't even know how on earth I was going to respond to her questions and that I am not much of a talker makes it even harder.
I mean, what does my age got to do with her?
Good question, only I don't have an answer that she would be pleased to hear.

Finally she breaks the silence but after much thinking and analysis. She releases a sigh of relief and says in a rather sweet tone.

"Look, you look like a sweet guy"

Really?
You have no idea, the things that I would do to that little fragile body.
Trust me, sweet would be the last word to describe me and can only be applied if it was the last word remaining in the dictionary.
Sweet?

"But we have only just met now, and don't know each other. I think the best thing to do here is to get to know each other first. Plus you owe me a dinner tomorrow" she continues saying with a smile.
I give a sigh of relief.
At least she is willing to give it a try, give me a chance even when I am like 11 years older than her.
My sweet little Bella.

"You don't mind the age?" I ask just to be clear, plus I am anxious.
This little birdie makes me nervous.

"What do you mean? " she asks sipping in her cup of coffee that was large for her hands, I seriously can not see the need of putting coffee in an overly large sized cup.
What is the plan?
For you to never return for another cup?

"I mean, don't you mind that I am much much older than you?" I ask after pulling of my surprise about the size of the cup.

"What? No! Well... What if am older than you?" She asks trying to hide her smile but miserably failing at that.
So she likes to tease?
I would love to know how far she can go.

"I know you are not" I say.
We just stare at each other smiling and it feels so good.
I treasure this moment, right now.
It's a good start that I for one did not even expect.

"Well I better be going, see you tomorrow. Here is my address, pick me up" she says with a smile then bites her bottom lip.
That sight is such a turn on that I have to unclunch my legs because of the borner.
Oh how I could kiss her sweet sweet lips all night.

She takes out a pen and a piece of paper from her bag, goes on to write something on it then hands it to me turned at the back. She picks up her bag and walks out the cafe before I could say anything else. I take the piece of paper she left on the table. It smells of her perfume, so addicting and inviting.

This girl has got my balls in the palm of her hand with even knowing it and there is nothing I want to do about it.
She is the boss now, the boss of me.
My boss.
A smile freely escapes my lips turning it into a wide grin.

Though she has to learn not to trust so quickly, how can she give away her home address to a stranger just like that?
Not that I don't already have it anyway, but still.
You know what I mean.

I guess I will have to teach her some safety tactical approaches for her own self.

This is a dangerous world and nothing is what it seem. The innocent hearts are forced to believe that it is a safe place and that the law will put away all the bad people and that they will be protected.

If only.
