'Coffee tastes better with company.' I confess after taking a sip of my double expresso sitting across from Starelen who nods in agreement all the while relishing a cup of a traditional americano – no sugar or milk. 'I appreciate your promptness missy, you took me serious I don't find tardiness acceptable.' I add on and scan the cafe, more people are filing in and the speed of the employees increase to ensure consumer service is adequate. 'I could tell you would crucify me if I was even a minute late.' She giggles and I find myself smiling at that girlish reaction, I cannot believe that something so simple manages to put a smile on my face. 'Do tell how you were able to figure that out I believe that I was a complete gentleman.' I take a sip of my once steaming hot expresso. She laughs, putting her black and gold rimmed cup on a white side-plate her eyes fill with amusement, her pearly straight teeth on show I watch her in this state of bliss. I wanted to capture this moment and store it in my archives to utilise it whenever I am in state of despair – this is a first.
'Why do you find me interesting? I am quite old missy I find it puzzling that you aren't with a boy your age.' I finally gain courage to question her because it has been bothering me from the get-go of our first interaction. 'You are different to the guys I usually go for I think you are going to surprise me.' She states. I lean back into the grey vera chair with my hands stretched out onto the egg white table and focus my attention on the damsel sitting across me with a simper look on her face I copied her act shaking my head prior taking a sip of my disregarded expresso.
'Lets take a walk missy.' I suggest after paying for the bill. She tilts her head to the side with her lips pushed out a bit making the rouge matte lip-colour painted on her small mouth to appear more bold – what a sight to see. 'How come you don't like information technology? Too nerdy for a gal like you?' I guide Starelen to a nearby wooden bench in the middle of the botanic garden. 'Took the words right out my mouth.' She proclaims as she settles down on the bench, the sunlight dances on her exposed skin due to the bohemian shoulder-less black jumpsuit she chose to wear, making her caramel skin a richer shade. 'Take a picture darling it lasts longer.' Her sultry voice releases me from the shameless act of gazing upon her elegant skin. 'Well, then prepare to pose like the supermodel you desire to be missy.' She peers up to meet my eyes with her mouth parted and her eyes a bit bigger.
'Lights, camera, action!' I command while focusing my phone camera lens on the mystic wander posing for a amateur photoshoot, it is quite challenging to concentrate with the task I chose when the subject is as alluring as Starelen. The sunlight kisses her skin giving her a natural glow no man can fabricate on any technological platform, absolutely breath-taking. 'Are we done? I feel awkward.' She speaks out while facing the camera, my left thumb slides onto the video recording button and without much thought I press record and encourage her to continue looking into the camera. 'You are a natural missy I don't believe you need any filter you are just sheer perfection!' I praise she throws her head back releasing a chortle in response to my praises.
'Today was a lot of fun. You surprised me and I appreciated that my assumption was spot on.' Starelen says after I join her on the bench the crinkle in her eyes brow-bells the possible answer I had I decide to move closer to her taking note of her body language she leans forward placing her slim hands on the edges of the bench, resulting in her collar bones to be more pronounced bringing attention to her chest I briefly bite my lower lip before releasing it and Starelen offers me a leer response. 'I enjoyed your company it was noteworthy.' I mutter gazing into her doe-brown eyes glittering in eagerness. She closes her eyes at the movement of my index finger running across her right cheek trailing down to her parted lips, her head is highlighted by the mid-day sunlight motivates me to place my hand at the nape of her head and pull it closer to mine all the while running tiny circles behind her ear with my thumb. She discreetly gasps and reopens her eyes to meet mine that have being fixated on her beauty. 'You are gorgeous.' I breathe out while trailing my right thumb over lips to result in her eyes to flutter close, I place a soft kiss on her lips – so succulent– I deepen the kiss and she reciprocates by slowly running her slim hands to my chest towards my lower abdomen, goosebumps take shape onto my skin and I groan into her mouth.
I disconnect our lips removing her hands from my abdomen, before I could receive any protests from her I guide her to stand before me and she interlocks our hands before settling on my lap. 'You look even better in this perspective.' She drops her head onto my left shoulder after my complimentary comment and replies in twittering laugher. 'You sure are something Timothy.' She mumbles meeting my gaze and I eagerly reconnect our lips. I could imagine numerous things I would not be able to prevent myself from doing to this precious creature, with that thought I decide to discontinue the current activity – no matter how pleasing. 'Why did you stop?' A perplexed plus notable lustrous look is painted on her picturesque face – how does she do it? 'Missy let's get you to your first group activity I don't want you to be late.' I lightly slap her left buttock and she stifles a moan I smirk in reply.
'I will text you when I am done.' She confirms prior parting ways I nod in agreement and watch her enter the entrance of the building. How could someone of her standard find me attractive? It boggles my mind. My handheld vibrates in my right pocket and I fish it out to read the notification, 'have lunch with me sonny we have much to discuss.' - Uncle Mat. Well, what a punch in the gut after such a memorable day.
IT TOOK ME THREE ATTEMPTS TO GET ONE I ACTUALLY LIKE. CHEERS NOT UP TO STANDARD BUT YOU HAVE WAITED LONG ENOUGH.
