The One For Her

The One For Her ~ 7

The sun was setting rapidly and my excitement grew every minute. Every night since I saw her, I stayed up late thinking about her. Her smiling face was imprinted in my mind.

We agreed that I was going to pick her up at seven tonight. So prior to that I asked my people to vacate the house. She might think I was a lazy bastard once she would find out that I had someone around the house serving me at my beck and call. Not a good handsomely points for a first impression.

I also wished for her to loosen up around me. I wanted her to be comfortable in my home because she would be the lady of the house before long.

I want her all to myself.
She will be mine.

As I drove my way towards her house, my phone rang. I frowned. The happy tune that I was whistling since I left my home stopped at mid-air.

I picked my iPhone and glanced at the name on the screen. It was my assistant.

I hesitated. If I was going to answer this, she would start reciting my duties for tomorrow.

Shit! I forgot to tell her I didn't left for Miami.

I started rubbing my index finger on my lips, thinking hard.

It was weekend starting tomorrow and this would be a grand privilege I bestowed upon myself since the past several years I started handling the family business.

Can't I atleast have a 'happy-me-time' for myself?
Don't I deserve that too?
This is after all 'my baby' I was going out on a date with?

I took a deep breath and made up my mind. I pushed the power off button of my iPhone and grinned to myself. I felt like a naughty boy playing tricks.

Business calls are prohibited because I am fully booked tonight and for the rest of my weekend!

I smiled once my eyes viewed her dainty, cream coloured little house. It accentuated her personality, simple and neat. No wonder I was so crazy about her. I stopped the car right infront of her mailbox, stopped the engine and gathered my keys. I walked along the cemented pathway leading to her front door.

I stood there, taking deep breaths, feeling like a rattled youngster on his first date. I gathered my might and pushed the doorbell button. I almost laughed at myself because of my nervousness, I almost knocked at the door.

It only took ten seconds before the door opened instantly and there goes my lovely woman.

Standing infront of me as my eyes scanned her from head to foot. I just couldn't stop myself from admiring her and awkwardly grinning.

God! She's gorgeous.

"You look lovely", I leaned over and gave her a peck on the lips. Hoping to let my lips linger but I declined.

I didn't want her to be scared.

She stood there smiling shyly at me with her eyes huge with innocence and full of wonder.

"Come, let's go now", I said and took her hand. Almost dragging her out of the door.

"Wait! My purse. I have to lock my door, too", I waited patiently for her to gather her things and while she locked her front door.

I took a calming breath and started whistling again to pacify my jittery nerves and we slowly walked towards my parked car.

When we were settled inside my car and after I assisted her with the seatbelt, I gave her another peck on the lips.
