Unexpected Love

Chapter 3

Cristiano

I fixed my tie infront of the mirror in the hallway.

After our little date on Thursday, Catalina and I planned another date on Saturday, which is today, because we didn't get time to really know each other, just the basics because she got called in on an emergency.

I couldn't wait to see her face again. Her eyes, ugh, they're so tempting. I made sure my suit was in order, I had my watch and my wallet on me, before grabbing my keys from the hook. I chose to drive the Maserati tonight because I haven't taken it out in a while.

I pulled out of the driveway and sped in the direction of Catalina's house.

After what seemed like forever I pull up infront of a quaint little town house that just screamed summer home for Valencia.

I got out, climbed the hardwood and brick steps and rang the doorbell. Only seconds later the door opened and it was like all of the air left the vicinity.

She was dressed in a thigh length, long sleeved black dress that showed off her perfect figure. Catalina had on minimal makeup, her hair was down in its loose curls and she wore the most dazzling smile ever.

"Good evening Cristiano," She said, accent making her even more appealing, still smiling at me. She closed the door behind her and locked it, putting the keys in her gold purse.

"Good evening Catalina, you look very beautiful tonight," I offeed.

"You look rather dashing yourself," She said whilst looking me over.

"Thank you, I try my best," I replied cheekily and she laughed.

I led her to the passengers side and closed the door behind her. She looked over the interior of the car, running a smooth brown hand on the leather seats and plush velvet carpet with an approving nod.

"You like it?" I asked,"I had it customized to my tastes."

"Of course I do. You don't know how much I love cars." She replied.

"Do you have a car?" I asked, turning the car on, letting the engine's smooth vibrations run through the body.

"I have three actually. I've got an Audi R8 which I picked up last year, a Ferrari 458 which I had bought as a stupid dare and don't regret anymore now and my favourite,  the 2013 Dodge Charger RT."

"That is impressive, I've never met many girls who loved cars so much."

"Well you are face to face with one of them who does." She said,"I'm not an ordinary woman Cristiano."

"No you are not," I mumbled beneath my breath.

The drive was surprisingly quiet but it was a contented silence. She looked out the window, drinking in the sites and all the lights that the city had to offer. Tentatively I placed a hand on her knee and a smirk crept up on her face however another scene infront of me drew my attention away from her.

"You have got to be kidding me," I started angrily.

"What happened?" She asked, quickly coming out of her reverie.

"It's the paps," I said shaking my head.

"So? Just drive up, let the valet take your car around the back and when we're finished we'll leave through the back so as to not let them follow us home." She offered.

"But what if they recognize us?" I asked increduously

"I don't really care, I came here for a date and I don't give a damn about them." She said confidently.
