"Good morning beautiful"Caesar's husky voice wakes me up .
"Is it 12 yet honey? "I squint my eyes at him.
"It's 10am."He chuckles.
I sharply sit up.
"Damn! damn! ,I wanted to wake up first"I groan.
"Sweetie , it's fine"
"No it's not! , I wanted to wish you first "I whimper.
"Kayla! , don't you think you're being overdramatic "He chuckles again.
I playfully push him down , his head hitting the pillow.
" Now , Sleep"I command.
"What?"He laughs heartily.
"Sleep so I can wake you up"I reply goofily.
"You're kidding right?"He doesn't quit laughing as I struggle to keep him lying in bed.
"Nope.."I pout.
"Oh my.."He mutters , closing his eyes. I look on for a minute or two.
"Good morning handsome , Happy birthday ,I love you immensely "I kiss him slow.
He tightens our embrace , deepening the kiss.
"It sure is a good morning"He smirks.
"So I was thinking , for tonight , how about a sea food restaurant?"I grin.
" Great pick , sea food is actually my favorite "He nods.
"Ah , ain't I the best girlfriend"I giggle.
"Don't push it"He laughs lightly .

"Kay! , you've been in there for an hour , this was your idea "Caesar calls out to me.
"Leo! , Can't an idea creator dress up!"I grunt , putting my silver heels on. I managed to call Sandra to send in one of my most recent dinner outfits and heels. It was a velvet red dress , complimented with the diamond jewelry Caroline gifted me a month ago , my long curly hair tied into a ponytail. I really wanted to please Caesar tonight , well of course , he had everything money could possibly buy.
I finally walked out of the closet. All he did was gawk, his mouth agape in marvel as he gazed off at me.
I nudged him , slightly nervous.
Calm down, you look edible..
edible!!.. that's it?
Just kidding , he'll love this..
"Kayla, ...come here , you look amazing"He finally speaks , his arms wide open.
I shortly stride to Caesar, embracing him.
"You scared me for a minute , I thought you weren't impressed"I breathe , relieved.
"I'm more than just impressed baby"He chuckles , , leading us out of the penthouse and into the parking lot.
He chooses a BMW convertible among his vast cars.
"How many cars do you own!?"I scan through the lot.
"Many.."He smirks , starting the engine ,I put on my seatbelt.
The BMW came to a halt in front of the restaurant , Caesar got out and rushed over to open the door for me.
I laughed ,"You don't have to do that"
"Ah. But I have to. I'm a gentleman"
I roll my eyes , taking his hand as the doorman opens the entrance doors for us.
The entire building was packed with customers , most seats taken. A waiter showed us to our table and poured us each a glass of water before handing us a menu.
"Would you like some wine Sir?"he asked .Caesar glanced through the wine list and made his choice. The waiter jotted it down and left , coming back a few minutes with the wine ,he expertly poured a bit into Caesar's glass for him to taste. Caesar nodded in approval after a taste of it. The waiter pours more into his glass , then into mine.
"Thank you"I smiled
"You're welcome "He smiled back as he took our order and left.
"Do you like the place ?"Caesar asks .
"Yes ,I do"I frankly say , scanning the room , everyone was exquisitely clothed. Ha , talk about affluence. At the door , I notice two people come in , Rosa and a man I don't recognize.
"I'm so sorry about your reservation being cancelled , if you could wait a minute we'll try and get you a table Sir"A uniformed waiter speaks to Rosa's companion.
Rosa mutters a few words under her breath , folding her arms in irritation. Then her eyes meet mine ,she narrows her grey eyes when she recognizes the man I'm with.
She sashays to our table.
"Caesar darling , what a surprise to meet you here , such a small world don't you think?"She smiles brightly.
"It is a small world , isn't it?"Caesar replies sarcastically.
"Oh oh , Happy birthday sweetheart, I tried calling but you were probably busy , I've missed you so terribly Leo."She stretches her arms out , calling him in for a hug. Caesar glances at me ,I nod.
He rises up to hug her briefly .
That short peach dress she has on leaves no room for man's imagination..why bother ?, you can see it all.
"Meet my fianceé , Kayla Aniya Wills"
"Your what?" She stands rigidly.
"I believe you heard him right.. ah , finally the food is here,(the waiter lays our plate of lobsters down) , now sweetie don't you have your own table to go to?"I flash her a confident smile. She frowns bitterly , probably recognising my voice.
" Rosa , we just got a table , shall we?"The man with her appears . She nods, giving me a good glare.
" Caesar , do call me , we have unfinished business"She turns to Caesar before walking away with her date.
