When the driver came to a stop, Arsen got out and jogged around the car to open the door for me. I stepped out and grabbed Arsen’s hand, pulling myself closer to him. I looked over the harbor in amazement.
He led me down this path over to a stand. We walked hand and hand under the trees. He bought me two roses from the florist at the stand, one red and one white.
“Thank you for all of this, Arsen” I smiled.
“Anything for you, princess” he mumbled in a low but audible tone.
I felt my cheeks burn red. I don’t know why I get so shy and child-like around him. We walked down to another stand where he bought me cotton candy. I don't know exactly where we stand we're leading to but I hope it was something great. He led me to yet another stand but this time bought me a teddy bear. It was red and white, just like the roses.
We continued walking down the same path and Arsen told me to close my eyes. I closed my eyes and walked with him slowly to our destination. I felt a gush of wind blow across my face as I felt him guide me on to some type of seat. I sat there with my eyes closed and I felt him sit beside me. He was rather close too. I heard what sounded like metal clamping together and that completely erased my thoughts of us being inside of the building.
"You can open your eyes now, Lola" Arsen spoke softly and I felt us begin to move.
I opened my eyes and saw that I was on a Ferris wheel. I clapped my hands together in excitement and flashed a big smile at Arsen.
"I saw the way you looked at it on the way to the restaurant and figured that I couldn't miss out on the opportunity to see that smile on your face. The exact smile that you have on your face right now. I know this will be a great decision" he smiled at me and took my hand into his.
"You've made me so happy tonight. I don't know how I could repay you" I stared him directly in the eyes.
"You don't have to pay me back. This night is about you." He said while taking a piece of my cotton candy.
I laughed and looked out at the sunset. The sky was various shades of pink, orange, and purple. As the sky was going dark slowly and the Ferris wheel was heading up towards the sky I started to drift off into a deep thought.
Am I getting way over my head or could I actually be falling for this guy? It’s just a simple date but it’s just a certain way that he goes about things that makes this more than ordinary. Everything about him, besides him being a murderer, is perfect. It’s sort of scary. He could kill me at any time and get away with me, but for some reason that was completely okay with me.
I felt wild, carefree, and reckless when I was with Arsen. I wanted this feeling to last forever, but I guess I’ll have to wait a little to see if these feelings are real or if it’s just lust.
“Lola” I heard him.
“Huh?” I came back to reality and looked over at him.
“We’re back on the ground” He chuckled and opened the metal door for us to get out. We got out and started to walk towards the beach. The walk gave me just enough time to eat my cotton candy. I shared most of it with Arsen because I wasn’t that big into sweets. I held the stuffed bear and roses close to my body as we neared the water.
“Beautiful isn’t it?” Arsen asked, referring to the now dark sky and sparkling stars.
I nodded in agreement and took off my heels. I sat the bear and roses next to them and walked towards the ocean letting the come up to my calfs. I pulled my bun down and closed my hair letting the soft wind blow through my hair.
Serenity. I felt pure serenity.
“You are absolutely stunning” Arsen took me by the hand and spun me around. Was this a fairytale? It felt like it.
I felt Arsen’s hands slide around my waist and pull me close. He rested his chin on my shoulder and took a deep breath. All I could do was smile, I couldn’t find the words to say. I didn’t have any words to say, I just wanted to take in everything at the moment.
Who knew the next time this would happen again? I laid my hands on top of his and looked out at the stars once more. I felt him place small kisses on my neck and I tensed up.
“Let’s go, beautiful” he spoke under his breath but clear enough for me to hear. He walked away to get my things. I slid on my heels and followed behind Arsen like a lost child. Funny how he made me feel like a child and a grown woman at the same time.
When we made it back to entrance the driver was waiting for us. It was odd I never knew if he waited outside of places for us the entire time or did Arsen text or call him. I kinda laughed and got inside of the car.
The driver has classical music playing lowly and it was actually putting me at ease. I laid my back against the seat and feel myself begin to doze off.
Arsen
We made it back to the house and Lola was fast asleep. She looked so beautiful, but she was so unaware of it. She looked like a fallen angel. I smiled slightly and rested her roses and teddy bear in her lap. I scooped her up in my arms and went inside. I took the elevator up to her room and took her inside, laying her in her bed. The room was loaded with flowers that I had delivered while we were out.
I wanted to undress her but this moment between us was just so… innocent. Though I wasn’t planning on doing something sexual to her, I still wanted my first time seeing her fully naked was with her consent.
I jogged to the bathroom and got a washcloth. I brought it back and gently wiped off her makeup. I smiled at the view of her bare face and threw the now dirty cloth in the hamper. I called Ms. Rose upstairs to change her out of her clothes and into a gown so that she could sleep comfortably.
When she made it to the room, I left and went to my room. I sat on the bed and sighed, rubbing my hands over my face. What is this feeling? I ask myself this everyday but I really need answers. Even with women I find myself really liking, I have sex with them the first night and maybe even before we get the chance to go on a date.
But with Lola, everything was different. Of course I lusted after but I just wanted to wait until she was ready. I wanted to wait for the right time for the both of us in general. She was special and I didn’t lose her.
I took a quick shower and slid on a fresh pair of sweats. With only the light of the moon and stars shining in my room, I went to sleep.
I woke up the next day pretty much without a care in the world. It was my day off from everything, the cartel, the office, etc. I didn’t really know what to do so I just sat in the bed thinking about last night.
Her skin was flawless and so was her smile. I don’t think she had any imperfections, other than being nosey and looking through my emails. I shook my head thinking back to the thought, that’s why I had to lock her back in her room. I didn’t quite know if I was ready to let her free just yet. When I told her at dinner she seemed completely okay with it.
I grabbed my phone and texted David, giving him all of the details about what happened with Anabella. I told him now that we know that worker’s daughter’s name that we could use his last name to track her and her mother down. Just thinking about how she lunged at me like that pissed me off. Who does she think is? What did she think she was going to do to me? Choke me to death? Ha!
Does she know who she’s fucking with?! I got angry just thinking about it. I decided to go in the gym I had built in my basement to blow some steam.
Lola
I woke up in bed, dressed in night clothing again. I must be a really hard sleeper because I never feel when I’m being changed or carried to the bed. I looked at the clock and it was 8:13 on the dot. I finally looked around the room and there were multiple bouquets of roses around the room. Some white and some red. I blushed and pushed myself out of bed.
I walked over to roses and smelled them. They smelled absolutely beautiful and they put me in an even better mood than before. I looked over at the window seat and there was seated a huge box of black roses with a note attached. It read:
Dear Lola,
Last night was beautiful and I hope we can share more experiences like that. You bring out a side of
me that hasn’t been out in an a while. Thank you so much for that. I hope these flowers can show you how a little of how I feel.
Enjoy princess,
Arsen
I felt on top of the world right now. I just wanted to hug and kiss him right now! I skipped over to the door and turned the knob but it barely moved because it was locked. My eyebrows knotted together in confusion.
We had such a good night together last night, I don’t see why he would still keep me locked in here. I rolled my eyes and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
I let the warm water run through my hair and down my body. It relaxed me instantly and let me think clearly. I began thinking back to dinner when I absentmindedly agreed to something that I didn’t hear Arsen say.
Maybe I was agreeing to continue being locked away in this room. I sighed and got out of the shower, drying myself. I went to the closet and threw on some sweats and a sports bra.
I opened the journal I was given with all my tasks inside and saw that I had nothing to do today. I shrugged and decided to work on more of my story since I have that interview with Arsen soon.
He had the most beautiful mind I have ever come across. I knew that after just a couple of months he was becoming much more than just a dominant to me, I was falling for him. And he was falling for me too. It was kind of cool because it was just strictly BDSM and a contract at first and then it stemmed into a strong relationship because of the bond we had.
I remember when it happened. We had just finished up a session and while we were getting dressed he offered to take me out to dinner the next night. Of course I agreed, with a gorgeous man like that I couldn't pass up the offer.
His personality was amazing and so charming that I developed a huge crush on him. Before that night it was just lust but after I got to know him a little better we really connected and it turned into the best relationship I've ever been in.
I basically just described my feelings for Arsen. I wonder if he’ll read it later on, I hope that he could read through the lines and see what I’m saying about him.I shut off the computer and went over to my bed to watch some TV.
I appreciate what I did last night with Arsen and I definitely love the roses it's a brand new day and I wish that there was something for me to do other than laying around. If this was the weekend back when I was in school then I would totally be ok will watching movies or reading a book or writing, but it's the summer and I want to have fun.
I needed to find a way to be closer to him but also have a life of my own. After a few minutes of thinking I knew exactly what I was going to do.
Arsen
About three days have gone by and I haven't spoken to Lola. I know that her schedule has been rather empty but I was going to change that. I was going to do a little shopping and I wanted to take her along with me. Went to her bedroom and I knocked on the door.
"Yes? I'm not exactly able to open the door but who is it?" I heard her voice through the door.
"It's Arsen. I'm coming in" I unlocked her door and went in. She was tuck under the blanket reading a book. She looks so adorable. "I'm going to the mall and I want you to come with me"
"Okay. Um, how should I dress?" she asked lifting her head from the book and turning to look at me.
"Just something simple and comfortable." I replied. "I'm leaving your door unlocked, come get me from my room when you're ready"
She nodded and got out of bed walking into the closet. I quickly left making sure to leave her door unlocked and went back to my bedroom to change out of these sweats. I took a quick shower and threw on a t-shirt jeans. I also decided to wear a pair of shades and a hat. Believe it or not but people fail to realize who I am in this simple disguise.
I sprayed on I heard a knock on the bedroom door. When I answered it, it was Lola. She was wearing a nice flowy blouse with jeans and flats. I already knew that people were going to view me as some type of sugar daddy although I look really great for my age. It's something about the ponytail and soft makeup that need Lola look younger than she actually is. Maybe because she wasn't wearing her signature bold red lipstick.
But at this moment I could care less what anyone had to say about us, all I know is that i'm having fun and spending time with a girl, no, woman that I really like. I know we are going to get stares from various people and I don't have a problem with that but I did take those feelings into consideration. She's tough enough to handle it, but that doesn't mean that she's comfortable with it. This was going to be in the back of my mind the entire time we are out.
"You ready to go?" I asked.
"Born Ready" she replied with a smile on her face and turned to walk down the hall. She could make the simplest things so cute and attractive. It's amazing.
I decided to drive us to the mall myself instead of getting new driver because I wanted this to feel more personal. I wanted to show her that I was putting thought into our outings and also showing her that not everything is fancy and professional when it comes to me. I open the door for her enclosed it after she got in. I smiled to myself and spun the keys around my finger while walking around to the driver's seat. Today was going to be a great day.
While driving to the mall we both sang along to the classical rock songs that played on the radio. It was cool to know that she was into the same music that I was, and that she actually new about these older songs in the first place.
We finally made it to the mall and I parked in a specific spot that's usually more convenient for me. It was a place off in the corner of the parking garage which is right next to the elevator that led to the store that I like the most. We both got out and got on the elevator going up to the second floor. Soon as the door opened I let her straight across the mall to the store that I needed to go in. It was a menswear store.
I needed something new to wear for the interview and I'm sure that Lola can help me find something. My mother always told me that a woman's opinion can go a long way and I believe that since I was a child. And while all women may not be the best, the nicest, or the most intelligent their opinions on different things can give you the answers that you need. That's why I go to Ms. Rose with a lot of the problems that I have. Not only is she trustworthy, but she's been with me so long and her knowledge and wisdom has gotten me through some of my toughest times.
"Can you help me pick out a suit to wear to the interview?" looking over at Lola.
"Sure" she smiled and walked further into the store. I walked behind her so she made a sudden stop. "Is there anything specific you're looking for?"
"No, not at all"
"Hmm" index finger against her chin and walked over towards a dark grey suit. "This would look amazing with a red tie."
"You think so?" I asked smirking and holding the suit up to my body.
"I do" she stated bluntly. "It's a bit more slender than what you usually wear and it will definitely make you stand out. You have the perfect body for it."
"Well then i'm buying it" I smiled and took it to the cash register. Lola followed behind me with a silk red tie in hand.
After paying for my things and leaving, I wanted to take Lola ticket something that she wanted.
"Do you see anything that you like around here? Better yet, what were you planning on wearing to the interview?" I asked.
"I was thinking about wearing a nice dress with a blazer, a pair of heels and a nice necklace and watch combination. Maybe even some rings." she looked really passionate about what she was wearing and I loved it.
Any other time i've taken someone out shopping they act shy and claim that they don't know what they want or that they don't know the type of clothes that they're into and that I should choose for them. It was kind of weird that girls would even act that way around me. I know that I have pain to my name in a lot of money but I've always made women feel comfortable enough to be bold and straight up with me. Or at least I thought I did.
"I think I might know the perfect store. My treat, get whatever you want" I spoke and she f
ollowed me around the mall. We finally made it to a women's wear store which was more modern so I thought that would be perfect for her. I know she wouldn't like to go shopping in a store or women much older than her.
We walked inside and she didn't hesitate to go directly to whatever she wanted or whatever caught her eye. I like this. I love a woman who knows what she wants. She picked up a few things and two blazers.
"Follow me." she spoke as she walked to the dressing room. I followed her up until the main area of the fitting rooms where there were seats. I sat down and waited for her to come out and show me whatever she chose to try on first.
She came out in this lilac colored dress that was fitted at the top but it flared out at the bottom. She decided to put the white blazer over top of that.
"What do you think about this?" she asked, spinning around the circle.
