✡ Dinner ✴

   

        The door bell rang, shattering the beauty sleep of the neighbours. Chetanna had smiled all the way downtown, his heart blossomed, warming up his body from within in the blistering cold. The sight of Lumer excited him, one look at her demurely pale face rang bells of joy in his heart, it was true love. Lumer's fingers hurt, clutching unto 3 hefty shop bags, cheeks reddening in the chilly evening frost. She was a simple lady, beautiful in her own way with short brown hair and dull violet eyes. Thin and flat chested, short and skinny with no particular stunning detail, yet Chetanna was head over heels for his foreign girl.

     They had met in the university of Oxford 6 years ago, where they took sudden profound interests in each other while studying law. Indeed, beautiful minds attract, what had fascinated Chetanna the most about her was her dumbfounding brilliance, rather than her mere appearance. He knew she was the one, he was going to show her to Mama, he was going to wed her soon.
      "Did you get the present?" the naturally tanned Chetanna asked.
      "Let's see. Earrings...check, wrappers...check, pendant...check. You've got the bread?" she playfully said and Chetanna nodded, hugging a tower of boxes with a chunky loaf of bread crowned atop like a sovereign king seated on his throne.

"Bread...check," Lumer giggled, her laugh was adorable. "A girl never forgets a thing. Great, we're good to go."
      "Did you get flowers?" Chetanna teased with a smile.
      Lumer gasped, offloaded her bags on her encumbered beast of burden boyfriend and rushed back to the car.
      "A girl never forgets huh?" Chetanna teased.
      "Shut up," she chuckled.
      "And why do you insist on getting my mother flowers, anyway? To the average African mom, flowers are useless," Chetanna muttered.
       "No, they are not."
       "And what do you know about Africa?"
       "Nothing much, just a lil dumb boyfriend."
Both chuckled. "We'll see whose presents Mama likes better," Lumer said, struggling with the keys and car door. "Could you help me over here, Sugar. Not really gotten the hang of this vehicle yet."
    Chetanna's body jerked in slight fear, he totally forgot about Gray Pegasus's auto lock. He dropped the boxes at the door, walked to the Bugatti and placed a finger on the print sensors, normally, this should unlock the doors, do the trick but it didn't, instead it activated the vehicle's security energy wave and shocked him.
