IF OUR LOVE IS TRUE- We Will Definitely Make Through It.❤| COMPLETED

Chapter 13

The furthur conversation between Steve and me was all about our meeting on Saturday. We planned that he would pick me up from my place at 7:00 pm. He also took my number so that he can call me once he arrived. The day finally arrived and I was super excited. I had all the necessary instructions from Jake.
"Don't be too excited, act normal. Dont show him how desperate you are. Keep in mind that his lifestyle is a lot different than ours. So think twice before you say anything, dont end up making a fool of yourself, boys hate it when girls seem to have less confidence. And for God's sake Ritz, do not trip before him." He told me.
Steve was to come at 7 so I decided that I would go in to get ready by 6 so that I have atleast an hour to get ready. I chose a red and black dress and black heels but I thought they would make me taller than Steve as I was almost equal to his hieght on flat. Hence I switched to platforms. As I mentioned earlier I am not much of a makeup woman, I like to keep natural but today I thought I would go for it. I let my hair down but made sure they were not all over my face all the time. I was ready by 6:45 pm. I came into the living room and was waiting for the call. My phone buzzed, I quickly reached for it thinking it must be Steve, but it was Jake. I answered.
"Hello." I said.
"Ready." He asked me.
"Yeah, just waiting for his call."
"OK. So...All the Best. And dont spoil it."
"I'll try my best." I chuckled. "Thanks by the way."
A heard the doorbell.
"Jake, just hold on a sec. Someone's there at my door."
I went to the door, opened it and stood there stuck.
"J-Jake I'll call to tomorrow in the morning. Ok."
"All Ok right?"
"Yeah, I'll speak to you tomorrow."
And I hung up.
"How did you come over here?" I asked Steve standing at my door.
"Well through the elevator I guess." He grinned.
"No I mean I never told you the floor I live on."
"Yeah, but the board downstairs, contains the name of all residents of the building."
I nodded.
"Now come on we're getting late."
"Yeah just a sec." I switched off the lights and locked the door and we left. Steve was wearing a black shirt, navy blue jacket and black jeans. He smelled amazing, I couldn't recognise the fragrance but it was really good. We moved out of the building, towards his car, a black Range Rover.
I am going to sit beside him in his car.
I could see all my teenage fantasies coming true. He opened the door for me and once I was in closed it very gently. Then he move across to the other side and entered the car. We put our seatbelts on.
I had no idea where were we going. He said it was a surprise.
After driving for about 45 minutes  we finally reached our destination. We stepped out of the car.
"The Crown & Two Chairmen?" I asked him.
"Yeah. This is one of my favourite places to visit. I'm sure you'll love it." He grinned.
I smiled back.
As we were crossing the road he gently placed his hand on my waist. I felt a sudden spark inside me. I was loving this. We entered the restaurant he already had a table booked. One of the men escorted us to our table. As we reached there he pulled the chair for me and helped me settle in and then went and sat in front of me. We ordered some food and mocktails.
"So you haven't been here?" He asked me.
"No. This is my first time." I  shrugged.
"So tell me something about yourself. Cuz I assume you already know a lot about me. You know everybody knows me." He smiled.
I found it quite strange.
"Of course I do." I felt really proud to say that. "And coming to myself. I am from India as I told you, I work at 'The Aura'. What else do you wannna know?"
"Well, your likes, dislikes, your lifestyle."
We continued our conversation with a lot of things. He told me about his experiences and joirney all through his career. I shared my life stories with him. And we discussed a number of random topics. Everything was going well except one, that was again and again reminding me of Jake's words. Steve was not what he seemed to be. He was not as humble and sweet as he appeared to me all these years. A number of times I found him boasting about his fame and money. But I thought for a person at such a high level of success a bit of arrogance was necessary.
When we were done we moved out of the restaurant towards his car. It was around 10:30 pm. We settled into the car and when were were less than a mile away from my building I insisted him to stop as I wanted to walk home.
"Are you sure you want me to stop here?" He asked me.
"Yeah, I would prefer a walk home. Would you like to join me?" I offered.
"Ummm...sure." He said.
He parked the car in a corner and then got off.
"I can't believe being a millionaire  I am walking down the road." He said while we walked down.
I could again sense the boastfulness in his words.
"But I love it. I think this is the most wonderful thing to do, if you ever wanna spend time with someone." I said.
"Well it's quite a boring I idea I suppose and cheap as well. Wont suit me." He said.
There were a 3 cars coming one after the other in quite a good speed as soon as we saw them, Steve exchanged his place with me, putting me on the side of the cars to keep him safe. I was amazed. It reminded me of Jake. I could see the difference between the two men. One is always concerned about me. He is always keen to protect me and support me no matter what. And the other one is just about himself. His lifestyle and his money.
We finally reached my place.
"Ok. So it was really good to spend time with you." He said.
"You too I guess. Thanks for the evening. Goodnight." I smiled.
"Goodnight."
And I went inside the main gate and he went towards his car.
