Almost His

Chapter Eleven

CHAD
I was at the bar when she walked in. I couldn't believe my eyes. There she was looking beautiful as usual. She wore a red tiny strap gown that had a bare back with black high heel sandals. Her kinky curls styled into bangs. A diamond stud on her ear, a silver bracelet and a black clutch bag were her accessories. Her lips were red to match with her gown. The gown showed of her wonderful curves. She was so endowed.
She twirled and smiled, "How do I look?" she said.
I cleared my throat, "You look amazing, shall we?" I said holding out my hand.
She took my hand. I led her to the car park where Austin my driver standing. He was gaping at her. I wanted to tell him to back off but I knew he was just amazed at how someone like her agreed to go out with me. Plus he loved his wife more than anything.
"Hi. You must be Ash" he shook her, "Chad has told me a lot about you".
She smirked and glanced at me, "Has he now?"
"Can we go now?" I murmured.
"Don't be an asshole son" Austin said.
"I'm not being an asshole. I'm just worried that her feet are hurting." I lied.
"That is so true." He said sarcastically.
Ash chuckled and climbed in. I sat beside her. I inhaled her perfume, it smelled like lavender. I love lavender.
"How are the kids?" I asked Austin.
"They're fine. You know Zack is going off to college soon, Melanie is so excited. His younger siblings can't wait to get rid of him" he chuckled.
I love the way Austin always talked about his family, with pride and joy. I could never talk about my family like that. My dad was a stupid piece of shit and my sister was stuck up, plus she lived far away and it was hard to visit her cause of my tight schedule.
She's never visited me cause she has this crazy idea that I keep groupies in my house. It was so funny. She said my house wasn't fit for her kids.
"...Mel says another kid is a strain but I say let's go for it! I promised my dear old Ma that I'd have six children" Austin rambled on.
Ash was listening intensely, laughing politely at his jokes.
She whispered in my ear, "Is he always like this?"
"Yes" I chuckled. "You're lucky I didn't ask him about his vacation to Texas".
"Texas? You really pay him a lot" she smiled. "That's nice of you."
I blushed. Her compliments were a huge deal to me.
I always wanted to impress her. I'd noticed that the littlest things make her happy.
"Where are we going to by the way?"
"You'll see". I couldn't wait for her to see the surprise I had planned for her.
We got to the restaurant right on time. We went through the back door to avoid the paparazzi.
She gasped when we walked in.
We were the only ones apart from the staff who were there. The room was candle lit. There were petals spelling her name, two men were playing the violin and harp.
She turned to me, "Chad this is so beautiful. Thank you." She kissed my cheek.
I led her to the table and after making sure she was seated, I sat down.
"How did you do all this?" She said. She looked so happy. Her lighting up in that special way.
"I own this restaurant." When I saw the expression on her face, I added "No one knows. Not even the staff."
"So you're like the faceless boss that everyone hears is coming to check out how things are being done but doesn't know?" She chuckled. "You know that's crazy right?"
I nodded smiling, "You know how much I love suspense".
"I do and I know for a fact that you'd do something to see if they react well"
I laughed, "So true. One time I came in here wearing a bald cap and fake mustache so no one would recognize me. I ordered everything separately and kept calling the waiter." She chuckled and I continued "I was really a pain in the butt that day. Do you know I changed my order for dessert four times? The waiter was furious but he was still polite. I had to give it to the guy, he was good. His composure earned him a promotion and a bonus"
She burst out laughing "Seriously? You're crazy!"
I laughed, "I knew if he was given a chance he'd have shot me right in the gut but he comported himself".
She got a text from someone and smiled, "Shar just got to her boyfriend's house right now! She said he isn't home but he'll soon be back according to his house keeper. Bummer!"
"Tell her to lie naked on his bed and wait for his arrival. Now that, would be a great surprise." I imagined Ash lying naked on my bed waiting for me to come home to her. Damn! It'd be so hot. I'd take her so many times, on the bed, on the table, in the shower. I shifted as I grew hard.
"She thanked me for the idea." She dropped her phone.
"Hey! Not fair! You took credit for my idea!"
"Sorry!" She laughed.
"You owe me for that you know!"
"I'll pay you later" she winked.
I knew what that wink meant. I couldn't wait to get home. Tonight was going to be amazing.
I stood and offered my hand "Can I have this dance mi lady?"
"Oh stop it!" she took my hand.
We chuckled as I led her to the floor. The tune was slow. We swayed to the music, my hands on her waist and hers wrapped around my neck. Our bodies touching, there was no space between us and our eyes locked together. The atmosphere was magical.
"You're a good dancer" I said.
She quirked an eyebrow "Seriously? You seem to forget I'm a beauty queen. We learn stuff like this. But, thanks for the compliment."
I smiled at her "You're just full of sass"
She chuckled and placed her head on chest and sighed.
"I can't believe we're leaving tomorrow"
"I know right? It's been great having you guys here. We're going miss you. I'm going to miss you especially"
I felt her smile "It'd be impossible for you not to miss me. I am quite special, you know."
"You are more than special Ash. I've never met anyone like you" I said seriously.
She kept quiet.
"Ash?" When she answered, I said "Will you be my girlfriend?"
She stopped dancing and looked into my eyes, "Are you sure you want this? I don't need you to pity me just because I fell hopelessly in love with you"
"I want this. I want you. I want to see where this goes. I want you to be mine."
"Why?" Why? Well that wasn't a question I was expecting.
"Because I love you Ash" I looked into her eyes. She looked confused.
"Don't mess with me, Chad".
"I'm not messing with you Ash. I love you. I love you for being such an amazing human. I love seeing you smile. I feel all warm and fuzzy whenever I'm around you. You make me feel comfortable in a way I haven't felt in years. I love you so much Ash."
She smiled shakily, "I'm holding in my tears cause my makeup will get ruined" she kissed me, "I love you Chad and of course I'll be your girlfriend."
I grinned. She was finally mine. I'd get rid of the other girl later. Right now I was going to celebrate my new relationship with the love of my life.
Dinner was quiet eventful. Ash told me stories of her childhood. She talked about her family. She had four siblings, two elder sisters and two younger brothers.
She was from peaceful home, the opposite of what mine was.
As soon as we got into the car, I kissed her. The kiss was hot and passionate.
We had a full make out session in the car and immediately we got home I carried her out of the car. The others weren't back yet. I opened the door to my room. Ash was giggling in my arms.
I put on the light. I stopped in my tracks.
There she was,Sharon Ude, the woman I'd kept for my fulfillment in Canada and she was in my bedroom stark naked.
"Chad? Who's that bitch in your arms?"
I dropped Ash.
"Ash?"
"Shar?"
Holy shit! I'm dead.
