Chapter 52: Chapter 52

Lora rode in the taxi back to her house thinking of Michael all the way, she has been mesmerized by his charm, he has this innocent sweet looking face and a well-built body that makes her feel her innermost body quiver.

At first She thought he was a bad person, or that he has some kind of ulterior motive, but with the way he treated her, his hospitality, his calm and mature nature took her by surprise as she knew how guys his age are likely to behave, she knew this because of the way she had seen some guys his age behave back then in school.

Even with the rude character she exhibited in his place, he still remained calm and warm towards her, Alfredo She knew, would never respond to her like that. She immediately shook the thought of Alfredo off her head.

She went back to recalling her experience at the stranger's place.

“Morning sleepy head.” He had said to her, and had latter offered her coffee prepared by him, something no man has ever done for her before.

She recalled the way he introduced himself. “My name is Michael Williams.” He had said to her when She asked what his name was, what a lovely name She thought, and those lips... The thought of Michael's lips sent a chill quiver down Lora’s spine.

She had never felt like this before, not even with Alfredo who she had loved for some years now, and she is wondering how and why she felt that way for a total stranger.

She barely even remember their conversation in the club last night, or if he already has a girl friend, because it would be rear for a good looking guy like him not to have a girl friend, she thought.

She has to forget about him, because she don't want to go down that road again especially after what happened to her with Alfredo, and besides he is younger than she is, having an affair with him would be ridiculous, she thought and shook her head slightly, snapping the thought out of her head.

She looked forward to the driver's seat, and caught the driver peaking at her from the mirror in front of the car, she can’t help but imagine what might be going on in the drivers head, based on the look she saw in his eyes through the mirror.

“Rich kid, She came into this city just yesterday and has already slept with a total stranger the same night of her arrival...” she thought .

Well as it is, she doesn't really care what anyone thinks about her anymore, not even her dad.

She looked out of the window again, ignoring the driver completely, she just want to get home, take a warm bath and settle in properly into her new home.

***

Days have passed now and Michael can't stop thinking about Lora, he still imagined her in his bed, the way she had slept in the early hours of morning when he brought her to his apartment because she was drunk and he couldn't get her own address.

He had practically stared at her all morning while she sleeps, that he did not even catch some sleep himself, no woman had moved his heart the way she did, he thought.

Maybe it's love at first sight as some people would refer to it, and he never believed such things existed until it had happened to him.

He has been going back to that very club, hoping he would run into her by chance but have not succeeded as there was no sign of her, he would even go early and stand at the entrance in case he missed her the other times but no luck yet.

He had also come early to the bar today, with the hope that she would show up, Michael have never gone to the bar before by himself except George asked him to, but since that day He met Lora in this club He has frequently been here alone with the hope of seeing her again, that he has forgotten about going to the library for days, which is a favourite hobby of his.

Maybe she is not a club person or maybe she decided to go to other clubs instead of this one, he thought as He sipped the bear He had ordered earlier.

He now regrets why he did not ask for her number or her home address that morning before she left, he knew she is new in the city and probably would have love to have a friend but he missed that opportunity.

Maybe it’s the way she looked that day that made it impossible for him to ask for her number, she looked so refined and beautiful, like one who is swimming in wealth, she looked way out of his league, maybe that's why he could not bring himself to ask for her number, not that he had asked for any girls number before.

Although he didn't want her to feel insulted, that’s the reason he had tried to suppress his feelings for her, and now he regrets it, as he could no longer handle this feeling he has for her, he needs to find her and tell her how he feels about her, and he didn't care what the consequences may be.

He knew he has no money, nothing to offer her but something in him tells him that Lora is different, she didn't look like most rich girls he had seen, even though she acted a little rude that day, she still looked different.

He slowly recalled what had happened that day in the club, the question Lora asked George's date.

“Are you fucking them both?” Why would she ask her such question, or what would warrant such question? Michael thought.

He can't help but think that she has experienced some kind of heart break, given the fact that she was drunk and obviously by herself, maybe that's why she moved to this place in the first place.

Anyways, I have to find her, if she no longer comes to this club, she would probably go to another club in town, what he needs to do is ask George for his help since he knew almost all the club’s in town.

With this, Michael quickly finished his beer and walked out of the bubbling club.
