Before I could open the car door he quickly opened it for me.
"What a gentlemen or maybe he was just trying to prevent me from putting a dirty little spot on his precious expensive car." I thought to myself. It’s not like I was jealous of his car or anything.
After I thought that I noticed him with a smirk on his face like he trying to suppress a laugh. Maybe I had said that aloud but I'm pretty sure I had not.
On the ride we were both quiet so I looked at him for permission to turn his precious radio on. He nodded so I started listening to one of my favorite stations and could not resist singing in tune to some of the songs.
"You have a nice voice." he suddenly talked to me. I just replied "thanks" while a big smile formed on my face as he was the first person to tell me I have a nice voice. I guess it was because I never actually sang in front of any person.
"So where are we going?" I then asked Jake.
"To the golden cuisine restaurant just around the corner." he replied me casually. Hmm I've never heard of it but oh well there is a first time for everything.
Just as we arrived he opened the car door for me to get out.
I've been living in this town all my life and I did not even know a place like this existed.
There was a long line of people waiting to get into the restaurant but just as I was about to enter the line Jake gently pulled my hand and led me straight to the door.
When he touched my hand I swear felt electricity surging through my body causing me to experience a nice burning feeling and all twinkle inside.
"Why was this stranger making me feel like this?" I thought to myself.
I looked towards the door Jake was leading me and I had to rub my eyes to make sure I was seeing correctly as the door looked like it was made of pure Gold.
There was a big and strong bouncer in front of the door who looked really scary and surprisingly he did not stop us from going in. The restaurant looked expensive and the walls were also painted in gold. All the customers were dressed in expensive clothes and jewelry making me feel like a bugger among Royalty.
Even the waiters were better dressed than me as I was just wearing casual clothes, my pink blouse, black jacket, my blue jeans and sneakers. I guess you could say I was not a fashionista but I really did not have time for clothes.
I just wore what I felt comfortable in. In my own defense I had thought I was going home after work not to some elegant golden cuisine restaurant.
Suddenly I heard Jake whispering in my ear sending chills around my body,
"I think you look great." In that deep angelic voice of his.
Wow I thought to myself, Is this guy a mind reader? Then I dismissed the thought as I was fluttered by his comment.
Meanwhile....
Unknown POV
"Your majesty." one of my guards dared to speak.
"How dare you interrupt me when I'm thinking?" I angrily snapped at him while sitting on my throne chair. I paused to cool down so I did not end up getting my hands dirty in the process of killing this bastard.
"Voice your reason for interrupting me!" I shouted at him.
The guard just stood there first afraid to talk.
"If you don't talk or if your reason is not good enough..." An evil grin spread on my face as I told him,
"I promise to end your pathetic useless life through an eternally painful death."
This caused him to speak,
"Sorry your majesty but there is a visitor asking for your glorious majestic presence." "What for?" I snapped at the guard.
"He says he has urgent valuable information for you."
"Bring him in." I commanded the guard. Just as he was going "wait!" I shouted causing him to stop and look at me.
"If this person does not give me valuable information just know that I'm making you kill your wife, kids and your parents first in cold blood then yourself."
A smile formed on my face when I saw fear in the guard's eyes as he knew I meant it and I liked it when I'm feared.
"What are you waiting for, go and bring me the visitor." I told the guard as he seemed to be just standing there looking at me in shock.
"Yes your majesty." he bowed and went to bring the visitor. A young man came in and he seems to be afraid because of his body language. Well he better be afraid because I was going to slowly butcher him or burn him alive if he wasted my time for nothing.
"What's your name and what do you want beast?" I asked him bitterly.
He first bowed then responded while stuttering "My name is Mike and," He paused for a minute causing me to shout at him.
"Don't waste my time you dumb idiot beast, just tell me the valuable information you have!"
"It’s about the Vampires." he quickly muttered.
That really got my attention when I heard the word "Vampires." I loathed each and every one of those filthy bloody creatures within every inch of my body.
"What about them?" I urged him to continue.
"They came to the hospital and one took a girl with him." he replied.
"A girl you say, what's her name?" I curiously asked him.
The man looked like he wanted to avoid my question meaning he knew this girl or liked her.
"Tell me now or you shall face my wrath!" I angrily commanded him as I was not here to entertain some love struck idiot.
"Yes Master." he answered like a puppet from my commandment.
"It’s Sonia Clemton."
Just by hearing the Surname "Clemton." a loud angry scream erupted from my mouth while causing the man in front of me to burst into flames.
Chapter 5
The restaurant was divided into two sections the VIPs area and the normal area. Jake led me to the VIPs area and I thought to myself how much money does this guy have?
But then we did not go to the VIPs area instead we went upstairs to a private room which had a great view of the ocean as the front walls were made of glass. The side walls had aquariums and I could see fish and even a shark.
I had never seen anything like this and here I thought places like this existed in movies only. There was already a table made for him and a waiter waiting for us.
Jake looked at me while I was mesmerized at the beauty of the room then he pulled a chair for me to sit and ordered food for us speaking to the guy in Chinese. Once the food arrived I dug in and it was delicious.
I had never tasted food this good. To tell the truth I did not even know the name of the food I was eating. I might just have been eating a dog or snake and not even know it but then again even knowing that I would still eat it.
I started thinking to myself maybe there was a prank or a joke this guy was playing on me. If there was I was going to have fun kicking his butt because I had watched many episodes of WWE wrestling. Plus I could not shape shift into anything as there might be cameras so I would need my wrestling skills.
This time Jake really started laughing and I thought to myself what's funny?
So I checked my teeth to see if there is something on them and I found nothing. So being annoyed I ask him,
"What’s so funny?" and he looked at me and answered in his deep alluring voice,
"Your thoughts are funny."
I rolled my eyes at this guy.
"Yeah right like you can read minds." I jokingly added.
He started laughing again and this time it was a deep angelic laugh and I found it really sexy.
He then leaned towards me across the table and said,
"Sonia Clemton you are also even funny when you talk."
I did not know whether to be angry or fluttered that he thought I was funny but I liked the way he said my name. My heart had tugged when he had slowly said each syllable.
"So what's your full name?" I curiously asked him.
"It’s Jake Hearten." he answered me.
And I liked his name.
We started talking just learning about each other but I found me doing most of the talking, which was bad as he was going to kn
ow more about me than I would about him.
He then gazed straight into my eyes and I ended up lost in those beautiful eyes of his that just riled me in like a magnet. I also noticed that at night his eyes turned into different shades of blue which was even more beautiful.
I then looked at his gorgeous lips and this created an urge in me to kiss him. So I leant forward across the table and I was about to kiss him.
Then BAM! I realized this had turned into a date and I was about to kiss Jake but he had a girlfriend and I refused to be anyone's second girlfriend.
I quickly leant back, got out of my chair and I was about to go out through the door when a hand grabbed me. I just knew it was him as his touch always gave me that burning feeling.
He pulled me so that I was now facing him. I then noticed the pained expression on his face and I don't know why but it really hurt me to see him like this.
"Sonia did I do anything wrong?" He desperately asked me. So I decided to tell him straight in his face.
"Jake you have a Girlfriend and I feel like this was turning into a date so that is why I have decided to leave since I only agreed to dinner as new friends."
But the real truth was also that I had quickly fallen in love with this guy and knowing he had a girlfriend just made me angry. Surprisingly my words seemed to shock him for a while.
"What are you talking about?" He asked me while looking confused. I was really shocked that he really was denying the fact that he had a girlfriend.
I looked at his face trying to see if he is telling the truth or lying as I'm good at reading people's faces. I could see he was still confused so I pushed harder to make him confess maybe he was an award winning actor. With his gorgeous looks I would not doubt the possibility of that being true.
"What about the hot blondie at the hospital." I replied him with an accusing tone.
He first looked at my face trying to read if I'm serious then he burst into laughter. That irritated me even more so I shouted at him.
"What's so funny?"
This stopped him from laughing and he started to take a step close to me making our bodies almost touch. This made me feel uncomfortable as this created an urge in me to just wrap my arms around that magnificent body of his.
I took a step back and he took a step forward. We did his three times until I found myself trapped because of the wall behind me. I looked sideways to see if I could escape but he noticed that and blocked my way out with his arms.
He was now really close to me as I could feel his breath on my face. My heart was already beating really fast and my body was reacting like crazy to him being close.
I think he was doing this intentionally as I noticed the smirk on his face but he had a girlfriend why couldn't he just leave me alone.
His next words made me feel stupid for thinking that as he whispered in my ear and said seductively in a playing tone,
“Hmmm you know I never thought of you as the jealous type and I'm really fluttered by that."
Before I could say anything he then added,
"By the way the hot blondie is my sister."
He winked at me then removed his arms still with smirk on his face and went to stare at the ocean view. I just stood there with my cheeks flushing red.
I mean this was really embarrassing as I had accused this guy of having a girlfriend who turned out to be his sister. Where did all this jealousy I felt come from? I asked myself. I just met this guy today and he was already making me go crazy.
What was happening to me?
I did not know how I was going to face him so I decided the only thing to do was to escape. But just as I was about to exit I heard a fake cough "damn." I thought to myself I should have just changed into a rat and escaped already.
He looked at me and said with a smirk on his face,
"Miss Clemton are you going already, I just thought you would like to wait for desert and just a question how were you planning on getting home?"
Wow I really did not think this through, I just thought about the car part where I could just shift into a bird and fly home. But that's when I realized I really didn't know my way home from this place even as a bird I don't think I could find my way without directions.
What made me more irritated was the smirk on his face it’s like he was enjoying taunting me.
"I'm never ever going to accept any offer for dinner from any stranger." I angrily mumbled to myself.
"What's that Miss Clemton?" He replied me in a playful tone and I just mumbled "nothing".
I then came up with an incredible lie to put him in place as he was treating me like a kid so I asked him.
"How do you know that I was not going to the bathroom?" While mimicking the playful tone he used on me.
He chuckled then said "Miss Clemton who told you the bathroom was that side". To my horror I noticed he was correct as I saw the bathrooms were on the left side. To make it more embarrassing the door was written in big capital letters BATHROOM.
Because of my stubbornness I just huffed at him and went straight for the bathroom.
Chapter 6
I entered the bathroom and it looked nice and really clean. I stared at the mirror just thinking about the events of today and how I ended up here with this deadly gorgeous beauty.
Suddenly my phone ringed playing I hate how much I love you by Rhianna ft Neyo, I know I need to update my ring tone as the song is too old.
However the words "I hate how much I love you boy." from the song caught my attention making me think was I really in love with Jake.
But it had only been one day.
Was he truly the one, my very own prince charming?
I don't know how long I stayed thinking like that until I realized my phone was still ringing only to find its my best friend Stacy.
Always on cue I hate witches. Yep apparently my best friend was a witch. Witches could live forever, read and communicate with minds, see the future and do all sorts of cool witchy stuff.
She screamed on the phone from excitement like a crazy child then finally said in a high pitch squeaked voice,
"Sonia some little birdie told me that you went on a date with some hot guy."
"Stacy I'm not on a date its just a thank you dinner." I start protesting but she did not listen to me and continued
"I need a picture of him now." She said in a voice that did not take no as an answer.
I was still annoyed by Jake so I simply told her "No." then she started black mailing me saying that if I do not send any picture she was going to take one of my embarrassing pictures and post it on Facebook.
This got my attention so I ended up agreeing and "What some friend I have!" I thought to myself at least she had forgiven me for earlier.
I knew the reason she wanted the picture was so that she could use her witch powers to find everything about the guy. She was very protective of me and always wanted to make sure I was safe and in no danger.
But how was i going to get a picture from Jake after all I was still angry with him. Maybe I could just take it when he was not looking, with that thought I went back to the dreaded room.
The waiter brought Vanilla chocolate ice cream my favorite flavor and I finished the whole bowl while giving Mr you know who the silent treatment. I could feel his gaze on me but I did not want to end up kissing him so I avoided his lips at all cost. I tried to take a picture of him secretly but I was not succeeding as every time I tried he was hiding his face with the menu booklet.
Because I was very desperate I decided to ask him politely while pulling my puppy dog eyes on him and I said, "The kind Mr. Hearten can I please have a picture of you."
He just bursts into laughter at this, then he said in a serious tone, "No!"
I looked at him in shock as nobody had ever resisted my puppy dog eyes so I went to the more desperate strategy of bribing and I said,
"Please I will do anything but on one condition, no swimming as I can't swim."
I looked at him waiting fo
r an answer but regretted doing that as my drooling mode came up when he flashed me one of his angelic grins. He leaned up more to me causing my heart to beat faster and because of the grin I was expecting the worst.
He whispered in my ear and said" I will do it if."
Before he could finish his sentence I started to think of all the horrible things he could make me do then he finished his sentence by saying,
"If you agree to take swimming lessons from me."
I just looked at this guy, did he just say swimming lessons but I hated swimming and was is it not one of my conditions. So I answered him annoyedly "Did I not say one of my conditions was no swimming."
He replied me with a smirk "Yes you said no swimming but you did not say no swimming lessons."
I stared at him irritated because he thought he knew better than me so I replied him sassily "I don't really care because I can take the picture when you're not looking."
He looked at me and said,
"You tried that once but did you succeed?"
I just stared at him dumb folded to know he knew I was trying to take a picture of him all this time. Then an idea came to me.
"Don’t bother I can just find a guy as gorgeous as you and just take their picture.” I told him while sticking my tongue out.
That's when I realized I had just told him I thought he was gorgeous and this made me blush uncontrollably when he replied,
"You think I'm gorgeous?" in a seductive tone.
I just looked down and my face was still burning red. To change the subject I just lowly muttered,
"Fine I take the deal."
With those words said he took my phone, took a picture of himself and he even entered his number and took mine. I looked at him and I asked playfully
"Did I say I wanted your number or you should take mine Jake?"
"Well I just saw a pretty looking phone lying on my table pleading for my number so to be generous and end its misery I decided to give it what it wants" he also said in a playful voice. I rolled my eyes and replied
