The Governor

ARRAN'S POV

I parked my car on her drive. I've been sitting in my car for some minutes now I don't know what to do.  I don't know If I should  go on with this.  But deep down inside I know I don't want to give up.  I have this feeling that she's not one of those girls  that came my way some years ago after Maya's death. "Arh" I let out a frustrated sigh.  "Put yourself together " I muttered to myself before letting myself out of my car. 
I walked briskly to her front door. " okay here we go" I whispered fixing my tux before making my next move that would determine where this heads to. I pushed the door bell,  waiting patiently like the man I am.  Her house is one of a kind.  It's a two storey house,  it's beautiful,  I wonder who she lives with. " maybe she lives alone" my conscience replied.  I chuckled at the thought.  I raised my head just in time for the door to swing open,  revealing the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on...well side from my deceased wife.  RIP Maya.  She's beautiful,  a very beautiful creature.  I don't think I really looked at her that night st the party –"uh... Hello" she said  interrupting my train of thoughts. " Hi " I replied with a smile of my own.  A smile I hardly show,  unless those people are special... To me.  Her voice,  my–my her voice is tiny,  small but sweet. I like it.  My eyes couldn't stay on her face for long,  it surely had to explore.  Damn!  Look at that body, man – stop it Arran,  don't be a perv.  My conscience scolded.  " mhm–mhm" I cleared my throat catching her attention.  "Are you ready? " I asked her.  "Uh... Yea" she replied sounding nervous.  Well she's supposed to be,  I'm a hot piece of fine meat.  I chuckled to myself at the thought.  "This way" I said stepping aside so she could walk out.  "Thank you" she murmured as we walked.  "Did you lock your door? " I asked her as we neared my car but She didn't answer  so I decided to check what had caught her attention.  "Oh" she looks so priceless at the moment,  shock and surprise written all over her beautifully sculptured face at the sight of my car.  "Yea" she replied a few seconds later when she came back to the earth avoiding eye contact with me. " it's auto–lock? " I continued " ye–yea" she replied with a breathtaking smile that had my heart beating so fast.  What the hell is happening to me? 'You're just surprised that something like that is happening since it's been long since you felt this way' my conscience chipped in. " May I? " I opened the door for her "thank you " she said as she sat In the car,  shut the door rounding the car to the drivers seat.  I opened the door, getting in,  I started the ignition then we were off her drive towards my favourite place to eat. Mind you,  she's the second woman I'm taking to this special place of mine.
..."so semon right? " I asked after a long train of silence had passed.  I want to make little conversation. "Yes " she replied. "Great"I smiled making a sharp turn towards the restaurant.  I wanted to continue talking to her but her phone buzzed beating me to it. "Excuse me" she whispered.  For some odd reason,  I felt jealous of the immobile device in her hand getting all the attention without even trying so hard to get it... " we are here" I announced.  I parked the car In the parking lot then I got down.  Before I could get to her she was already out.  I chuckled at her behaviour but she didn't even care about what she just did it  seemed normal,  that's cute. We made our way towards the restaurant.  " this is my favourite restaurant "I informed her as we got closer to the entrance of the building . "Wow" she whispered when she took a better look at the place.  It was so small but I heard her. When we got inside the waiter was already waiting for us,  he led us to our table the one I specially requested for. I pulled the chair out for her when we reached our table.  "Thank you" she said taking her seat.  "You're welcome"i replied taking my seat also.  We were seated for a few minutes till I decided to speak up.  "So Ace, tell me about yourself " I asked even though I know a lot about her before she even introduced herself to me at the party. She was just about to speak till the waiter appeared from nowhere.  I feel like he's starting to get on my nerves. "Excuse me sir, madam.  What would you like to order? " he asked.  He's just doing his job. My reminded me. "I'll like to order the best wine that you have in stock. " I said. Semon gasped at mg words.  Her eyes widened  when I turned my attention to her. "What?" I asked her looking directly into her blue orbs.  "Nothing" she replied breaking eye contact. Oh!  My dear Semon does not like eye contact. I chuckled causing her to lift up her head again "what's funny?" she asked looking everywhere but at me.  She's so small compared to my height. "Nothing" I said mimicking her previous statement. "Okay so back to what we were talking about " I said going back to my main motive. "Yea–I'm Semon Ace,  a lawyer by profession.  I work in a firm at the ministry of defence.  I live in my own home and I'm a 30 year old single woman" she said whispering the last part. I just sat there starring at her and nodding my head at what she was saying.  I can sit here and stare at her all night.  There's no lie about this beauty sitting in front of me.  Beauty on the inside and out. "What? " she said when I didn't say a word rather I chose to stare at her. " cool. Cool" I replied. "What about you? " she asked.  So told her about myself after she kept on protesting that I had to also talk about myself.  Even the truth but not the whole truth.  And to my surprise she had that confused look she had at the party when I told her. Is she doubting me?.  " uh... That's nit bad.  Sorry about your wife though" she said. " How old is your daughter, uh... If I may ask? " she said.  "Yea she's four years old" I replied.  "Aww... That's cute. " she said lowly.  She's going to be a great mother someday.  'How do you know that? ' my conscience  shot back.  I know,  I just know.  The excitement alone In her eyes is heartwarming. "Yea" I replied starring at her. "Uh! " she released a sigh relaxing into her seat.
"You look beautiful tonight" I said catching her off guard. She smiled in return. " oh thank you" she replied,  is she blushing?.  " you're welcome.  Are you ready to eat something? " I asked her.  "Uh... Yea I think so" she replied.  I've been watching her,  she hasn't touched her wine,  she just had a sip when it arrived and that was it. When I asked she tried explaining herself but she couldn't, fumbling with her words.  But I understood  her.
Our food arrived,  we started eating while we made small talks to kill the silence.  She finds everything I say funny.  We talked for a while till we had to leave.  I really had a good time with her. She's a different and special woman. Maybe I want to take this to the next level... But slowly.

As at now,  we've left the restaurant,  I'm on my way to drop her off at her house. " I can't believe you didn't  touch your wine now we've left" I said trying to start a conversation.  " I did... Maybe you blinked during that period. I did take a sip.  But I can't believe that you brought the rest of the wine along with you – I mean who does that?" She replied bursting into laughter while she looked out the window,  I joined her... I can't help it she's funny and her laughter is contagious. "Oh no!  I'm running out if gas.  Do you mind if I stop by the gas station? "I asked. "Yea. No problem" she said while typing away on her phone.  I wonder who she's been texting all this while.  I think my jealousy is growing some wings now.  We got to the station then I parked the car.  "Do you want anything from the mart? " I asked as I got down from the car. "Nope" she shook her head. filling the tank took longer than i expected when I was done I rounded the car to the drivers side only to find the most hilarious sight I've ever seen. "Semon? " I called but there was no response.  She's definitely knocked herself out with the rest of the wine. She has her legs on the dashboard and the wine bottle in her bosom . She's so relaxed in the seat. " Semon? " I called again. "Oh! Mr governor"she slurred trying to sit up but she failed miserably. "Yes it's me,  take your pretty legs off my dashboard "I said chuckling at my statement.  I helped her take her legs off the dash board.  I started the ignition driving off.  During the ride,  she tossed and turned a few times  in her seat, her light snores filled the car. She looks adorable and fragile when she's asleep. I got to her house in no time.  I Let out a sigh after I parked car on her drive.  Turned in my seat looking at her,  beautiful is the word I can think about , I brushed a loose strand of her off her face.  "You're so beautiful" I whispered.  "But I can't give in yet Ace.  I have to know if you're the right one " I said then I pecked her cheek before getting down from the car to her side.  I opened the door then I unlocked the seatbelt.  I carried her petite frame off the seat.  She released a sigh relaxing into my arms.  I smiled to myself at our close body contact.  I got to her doorstep unlocking the door.  I adjusted her in my arms so I could turn the door knob.  I walked into her hall,  it's really warm in here,  feels like home.  I shut the door with my foot.  I walked further through the corridor that led to the bedrooms downstairs.  Now I'm confused as to which room is hers.  I'm sure it's not upstairs . Let me just try my luck by opening one of them.  To my surprise that was her room.  She has this huge picture frame of her on the wall. It's beautiful.  I walked towards her bed lowering her gently onto it then I pulled the comforter over her.  I walked out if the room shutting the door in the process. I went back outside to get her stuff from the car then I walked back inside.  I guess I can't leave her alone in the house.  She's too vulnerable to be alone. So I slept over at her house.
