Steal My Heart ♥

3. Trial Date

Medley Stryder's POV

I'm five minutes early here at the address that Robert mentioned.
The street looks deserted. There is no soul at sight.
Just then.. A black SUV parks in front of me and a man in his forties dressed in all black comes out from the car and walks towards me.
"Miss Stryder, Master Robert is waiting for you." He opens the car door at the back for me.
I thank him and sit in the car.
"Ready?" I hear a deep voice ask me.
I turn to my right and see Robert looking at me with an arrogant look.
"Yeah." I reply while looking away.

20 minutes later.....

We're inside Robert's penthouse which is on the 10th floor of a tall building which belongs to him.
The design is modern with shades of black, white and grey.
The first thing we see is a big hall, which has stairs on the left side leading to the top floor and on the right side is a corridor leading to other rooms.
The hall has elegant sofas in black with white cushions.
There is a big window where we can view the whole city. It's a beautiful sight.
I was still busy assessing the place when I hear his arrogant voice.

"Are you done marvelling at the beauty?"

I turn to find him sitting on the sofa with his signature smirk.
Huff...
I walk towards him when he announces something which I could not believe my ears!

"You're going on a date."

What?!? Like seriously??

"Are you sure??" I still can't grab it.
A date?? And with who? Perhaps him? No... It can't be.

"Yeah. With a friend of mine." He stated arrogantly.

"But why do I need to go on a date?" I ask while looking him at in the eye.

"We're gonna assess your before and after results. Just be yourself on the date. And after that we'll start with the real deal." He finishes with a smirk.

Okay.... No comments.

"Uh...it will be my first date." I reply shyly.

"Your date will be my friend Tom Jones. Here. Take a look." He fishes out his phone and shows me a picture of a guy with brown hair and blue eyes flashing his teeth towards the lens. He's cute.

"But I don't know him." How can I go on a date with an unknown guy? This is absurd.

"I do." He stated while shoving his phone back in his pants pocket.

"Okay fine. And.. How did you get my number?" I'm really curious.

"I've got my sources. Be ready on Saturday at 10 am sharp outside the city mall."
He walks towards me and whispers in my ears "Dress well. It's your first date."

I can feel my heart beating erratically.

This is weird. Maybe it's because this is my first time a guy is really close to me. Yes. That's it.

"I'll see!" I blush while replying back.

"Alright. We'll see." He chuckles which shows his cute dimples!

City Mall, Saturday, 9:55 am.......

I'm really nervous about this blind date... Robert said that Tom doesn't know how I look like.. So I have to approach him first.

Few moments pass by.....

Oh my gosh! He's more charming in real life..he's wearing a black T-shirt with ripped jeans and converse. And me? Well... I'm wearing a baggy shirt with loose black pants and ankle boots. I have tied my hair in a ponytail. I'm comfortable wearing them. I see him walking towards me and he smiles at me and stands besides me.
So I start.. "Uh... Hi!" As I was about to say more...
