More Than My BestFriend .

Chapter 17

Zara Fenty- POV

I was so nervous, I was about to be on an actual date with the man of my dreams who as it turns out is my best friend. The decision to be more than just best friends with Andrew has been a bumpy one so far but I hope this date would set us on the right path but we are about 20 minutes late for our reservation at the restaurant not a good start so far .
Andrew has been making calls since we arrived, more like listening barely making coherent sentences, he looked up at me occasionally smiled and turned around. I was getting bored since he was working I was going to work too, I get my phone from my purse and I begin to reply to emails and trash some of them that were simply trash, just as soon I was carried away with work.

"ZeeZee earth to Zara, Andrew was calling out to me and I jumped up. hey are you done?"

"oh yes sorry for the delay, we can go now everything has been sorted." he replied but not actually saying what everything was exactly.

"Drew you have not actually told me exactly where we are going." I told him.

"Ah! Yes I know, that is what this is for" he was holding a scarf. Why was he holding a scarf?

"Kindly explain yourself, Sir"I said, looking very confused.

"We are going to the date venue blindfolded, sorry let me rephrase that you're going to the date venue blindfolded."

"I'm going to be blindfolded all the way there or when we get there." I was asked still not understanding the need for all this extra. I know it is supposed to be romantic and all but Nah! my makeup is going to be ruined, my vain side was roaring now.

"Zee I know you dont like extra and all that but kindly indulge me besides we are almost there."  The look he was giving me was sending chills down my entire body truth is was mesmerized and how could I say no.

   "uh okay, fine just do it."
I was trying not too sound too excited but the truth is I was excited. So he went ahead blindfolded me , when he was done he came around and planted a very soft kiss on my lips before I could protest again, if that was to shut me up? You know what? It did!

"Zee just trust me okay, follow my lead it's going to be very easy and fast we are so close." He was holding my arms and leading me somewhere I hear the door open I kept following his lead, he was doing great so far I mean I haven't hit my head or leg yet. The elevator beeped and opened, we got in then I noticed we were going up instead of going to down to the garage.

"Andrew..why are we going up? from my tone it was obvious that I was getting impatient.  The elevator stopped just as I was about to start ranting.

"We are here, just take one long step and thats it ."
I did as he said, took a halt then he came towards me and when I opened my eyes I was speechless, we were at the rooftop and it was simply breathtaking, the most romantic setting I have ever laid my eyes on. The lights were placed in a way that if felt like the stars were falling more like a media shower, rose petals on the ground, It was like a movie, there was a fireplace that was already lit making the place slightly warm. Already set was a beautiful dining table for two with beautiful pink roses and on the far end, there was a lounge chair that looked super comfortable. The music was just a mix instrumentals of my favorite R'n'B tracks. It was as if he remembered the exact things I told him I would on a date. It was so intimate.

"Wow Drew, this is amazing, how, how did you do all of this?" I gestured and turned around.

He laughed , "I had help but thats not really important as long as you love it." He moved closer to me. I, in turn, leaned into him, Yes I love it.  We were staring into each other eyes so deeply, it was like were getting lost in each other, we were just about to kiss when we were brought back to earth by voice.

Champagne? we turned around, it was the waiter with a tray and two glasses, of course, he hired a waiter and I'm guessing there would be a private chef. We both smiled and we took them from the tray after the waiter left we burst into laughter like two kids.

That felt like we were caught by our parents or something. He laughed again.

I know, that wasnt weird at all. So you are doing well so far mister I'm impressed, so this is how girls who date the Andrew Lloyd get treated huh? I was teasing him.

He gave me a frown, Lets have a seat and by the way, this is how I treat the woman I'm in love with.
