Chapter 6: Chapter 6

CHERRY'S POV

My driver arrives at a y'all massive looking restaurant. It's looks expensive, u step out of the car slowly trying really hard to calm down my nerves.

Take a deep breath Cher' You can do this. I mentally tell myself.

Moving to the staircase, I walk and in getting bro the last step u look up to see an handsome guy, standing talk, smiling at me and stretching his hands. I remember something Tamara told me and smile, yes I smile.

The tall handsome guy is light skinned, with straight hair, and peach colored lips. He is wearing a grey Jean trouser, a long sleeved shirt already rolled to his elbows with the top three buttons open, exposing his muscular chest, which I don't fail to notice.

God damn! He's so hot. I feel like suffocating under his intense silent stare just now. I'm finally standing in front of my date.

"Um, Sanchez by name?" I ask not knowing what exactly to say.

"Yes, my lady." He says like a gentleman.

Wait! What did he just call me, why does he have to add "My", well I think it's just for appearances sake, I guess I just have to blend along with him.

"Hi hottie, sorry for taking your time." I say with a smile.

Wait why am I calling him that, Okay I think I'm being nervous right now. I take in a deep breath.

"It's okay, princess, so if you don't mind shall we, he says in a sweet voice stretching forth his hands. Why is he stretching his hands to me, what should I do with it, massage it? Ignore it? Shake him? I'm confused, all these seems so foreign to me.

You're supposed to take it fool! My subconscious yells at me innerly.

I jerk, shake my head a little, and takes his offered hands. Smiling at me, he leads me inside the gorgeous looking restaurant and straight to the VVIP lounge, the place seems booked already for a private session, cause we are the only one here,and I mentally chide myself for allowing my thoughts to stray this far.

"So how long have you been taking care of your company, I mean the new one, Cherlins?" He asks me while shoving a spoon of brown rice into his mouth.

How I wish we won't say anything throughout this dinner, like can't we just eat our food in silence and bid goodbye, but that is just impossible. I mean what am I thinking, if not for Tamara's advice "contribute in the conversation" I swear I would have kept quiet in the guise of table manners, and just keep quiet.

I just have to say something, clearing my throat and speaking lightly I reply "Well I can't technically say it's new, because the company is almost two years now." I reply.

I am tempted to ask him if he has a problem with it, but I just keep quiet and keep eating and staring at my dinner, I don't mean to sound or be rude.

He keeps talking and talking about his business, and i just keep replying him with single words, whenever he asks a question I try to answer them without showing any bad mood.

Gosh! He's so boring! I am feeling sleepy already, I had a very hectic day at work today, and I really need rest, I try my best not to show it, then he asks q question that hits me and jolts me up from my sleep.

"Are you in a relationship?" He asks me.

Oh no!

"No I'm not." I reply sharply. "Oh ok, how about friendship of any sort." He asks again, and I start to become irritated at his unnecessary questions.

Closing my eyes and remembering of the only clise friendship I've had, that almost became a relationship I sigh and answer, "Yeah, well I was, not until he left me alone." I answer coldly.

"Oh wow, sorry for inquiring but can you tell.me about it."

Oh God! Can someone tell this guy to just keep quiet, I think he reads the expression on my face and so he asks, "Is it something you you don't want to talk about?".

What else will be my reply if not yes, "Yeah, I don't want to talk about it." I mutter coldly keeping a straight face, while gulping down a large quantity of wine and staring anywhere except at my date.

He nods, and suddenly an awkward silence descends in the atmosphere, just what I wanted, utmost quietness.

"I'm sorry for bringing that topic." He finally breaks the chilly silent atmosphere, and I nod with a smile, taking my ease to my remaining food, I'm almost finished with the delicious delicacy.

I am forced to look at him, for appearances sake and I see he is pressing away in his phone, with the back of the phone to me, I don't even notice the is taking my pictures until the camera erupts in flashlights.

Shocked, I move to say something when he says "Smile for the camera."

Smiling at me and showing off his cute dimples on both sides of his cheek, I laugh shyly and nice to cover my face, I don't like taking pictures in public and I'm certainly not in the mood right now.

"Come on, don't be shy okay." He says with a sweet voice, smiling and still showing of those cute dimples of his, I think I'm going to laugh, like how can someone as handsome as this still have dimples, it's not fair actually.

I can't take it anymore and I don't know when I burst in giggles, I laugh so hard I start coughing and take a sip of my sparkling mineral water.

ROBIN'S POV

I never know she can be this fun, even when she's eating, I cant stop stealing glances at her beautiful face, from the moment I saw her gorgeous dress that fitted her curves nicely, I fell in love.

The way she smiles, laughs freely, Oh God! It's sending me to euphoria, she looks and acts expensive though, and I thank God I dressed corporately to win her this evening.

Her beauty is something else, and deciding to be informal I decide to take pictures of her, I will make her picture my screensaver, she's so stunning, she deserves to grace the cover of something, and that will be my phone.

She's laughing as i take her pictures, although I don't.know the reason, I keep on snapping away, capturing her gorgeous smiles.

"You have really cute dimples." She says and I blush hard, did she just say that to me.

She keeps on laughing and I join her, "Haven't you seen a guy with dimples before." I ask her quietly.

"No, I haven't, I don't associate with guys that much to even notice their features, being here with you is pure luck, so just be grateful." She says smirking playfully at me and my lips curve in amusement and wonder.

Oh! So the rumors about her us true then, that she doesn't associate with men or even go on dates. I'm really lucky then.

She checks her beautiful silver wristwatch that adorns her fragile little hands and says, "Um, Robin right?" She asks and I nod in confirmation remembering that I didn't formally introduce myself.

"I think it's becoming late already." She says batting her eyelashes together.

"Oh yeah right, ok then, you really made my night or day rather." She blushed profusely as her cheeks turn visibly red.

"You are welcome." She mutters as she moves to stand, I signal the waiter, drop my Express card for payment, and in some minutes we are already outside.

"Can we take a selfie together please?" I ask hoping she would agree. "Okay sure." She replies and I bring our my phone, wrap my hand not so tightly around her pert tiny waist, and we take the photo.

"Thanks a lot Cherry, I hope to see you again, how about we exchange personal contact, yunno so I don't have to call your office number next time." I ask.

"I have your contact already, I'll call you." She says surprising me, pecking my cheeks, she hugs me before entering her car.

Did she just? Oh heaven! Take me now.

She waves at me and finally drives away.

I feel like the happiest man in the whole wide World, I hope I don't get in her bad book. Oh Lord help me!
