The Devil Dressed in Pink [unedited]

Charlotte 

We were driving to another one of his hotels, this one was more antique than the last one. Walking while he had his arm around me as he guided me through the hotel to the private secret elevator. He stayed silent but I held his hand trying mute my negative thoughts in my head. 

Eventually reaching the penthouse suite that seemed to take up the entire top floor. Walking out on the cream marble floors. 

"You look beautiful in this dress," He said as  I looked around the penthouse suite. He was casually leaning against a wall crossing his arms. 

"You picked it?" I asked curiously nothing was special about this dress, it was a great dress I can't deny that but it was simply nothing like how he dressed on a daily basis.

He nodded "Its simple yet you still manage to make it look one of kind," He said. "Are you hungry, I heard all you have eaten today is snacks?" he asked clearly amused. 

"I was holed up designing drafts for your house, that by the way, you have to pick" 

"I never expected you to finish them in one day," he said. 

"Reminds me back in college where I had to pump out designs left right and centre," I said smiling turning to him. "So what does this date entail?" I asked

He walked up to me taking my hand walking to the beautiful balcony that had fairy lights decorating the walls and a great view of the city. A table set for two was there with candle lights. 

He pulled out a seat for me making sure I was comfortable before taking his own seat his state was compelling but I broke eye contact as a waiter came out pouring us both a glass of red wine. 

Sipping it "My favourite," I said recognizing the taste of this wine "Nami? because Cora doesn't know my favourite wine" I said. 

"I consulted with your friends on this date since it's your first?" He asked. "I'm surprised that you're not fighting me on this date," he said. 

"Indeed I am not," I said "I am too tired to complain, plus I had time to think," 

"Think about what," he asked 

"If I let you have this, you will stop messing with my head," I said calmly as the waiter came with the appetizer which was cheese fondue. 

He laughed at my childlike smile when I saw this "Nami mentioned your obsession with cheese to me" 

As I dug in with a piece of bread immediately and moaned. 

"I love cheese of all kinds," I said as I finished eating. 

"I am not messing with your head, Charlotte I want to know more about you," He said he had no smile, he was serious about this. "neither do I want to control you, I know me saying this won't make you believe that, but over time," He said. 

"I will accept you? what happens when I do, the game comes to an end and you will be bored of me and I will be left heard broken" I said taking a cheese covered cocktail Weiner in my mouth. 

He carried his chair to be next to mine. As he took a strawberry that was on the platter before us and put up to my mouth as I took a bite. 

"Why do you put yourself down, saying I will be bored of you?" he asked. 

 "That's what you men do, I learned that when I lost my virginity once you get what you want you to leave," I said. 

"I said the night we met, I am different from other men," He said. We stared in each other's eyes before he leaned in for a kiss.
