Sahara.
I realized I was staring like a dummy longer than I should have . Why did I have a feeling I had seen this man somewhere.
"am really sorry , please have a seat "I said moving to the side. My house is a mess .
I quickly wiped the tears on my cheeks .
"need a hug? “he asked.
I wasn't sure whether to say yes or no since I have just met him , well I did meet him in Atlanta after pouring orange juice on his crisp white shirt.
I leaned over and laid my head on his chest.
His cologne was breathtaking , a mix of spice and mint.
I broke off from the hug after a short while.
"thank you” I said .
"You are welcome "he replied.
He looked very stylish .He wore a black shirt, dark pants and a very expensive looking jacket, it looked exactly like an Armani on his hand a golden watch .
"I lost my job , I have no stable income am so messed up . "I blurted out. I don't have a stable income to pay my bills , who gave the order I be fired .Do they know I am basically doing things on my own ,I have no one to fend for me .Can he or she give me a job .Will he or she feed me ? It's a really messed up system where the rich and powerful always have their way.
" Its okay , dear I understand "he said.
He understands? Seriously am jobless and that's what he says.I was so pissed off .
Anger mounted up in me .
" You are not helping , am f*****g jobless and you just say you understand , argh f**k you all!” I said getting up and walking away angrily .
I got into my car and drove back home , I realized I forgot the rest of my ice cream .My drive home was an unpleasant one .I was frustrated, angry and upset.Soon will have to sell my car.
****************
I watched like two seasons of Love Island not because I even like it , but because its just there to drown my sorrows into.
It was nightfall .
I played the next episode when I heard my door bell.
I was baffled since I wasn't expecting anyone .
I pat Bun and went to answer the door .
I opened and to my amazement it was the handsome man from Atlanta again .
How did he know where I live ?I realized I went too far at the park but I didn't know him so I couldn't find a way to apologize.
"you left this , well the other one melted and so I got you another one "he said on his hand he had a medium size ice cream.
"come in please” I said.
He came in as I closed the door he took a seat. Bun stared at him with a baffled look . I don't often bring people to my tiny apartment.
He took a seat .
"am really sorry about the way I acted at the park "I said.
" I get it , you were upset ."he said with a smile.
I served him a Monster drink .
He looked around my apartment.
"you live alone? “he asked.
"yes, with my p***y "I said.
He arched a brow.
Can't I call a cat with its other names.
" my cat , Bun Bun "I said as I laid Bun on my lap she got comfortable on my lap and resumed sleeping .
"How did you find me ?"I blurted.
"I marked your car plate number and asked around "he said .
Sounds convincing .
"You from around here?” I asked.
"No dear “He said.
"you could make it up to me though "he said.
I hoped he wouldn't ask for s*x or found out I was once a pornstar.
" how?” I asked nervously.
" join me for dinner "he said .
I breathed out .
"sure , when ?"I asked.
"tonight, "he said .
"um okay "I said.
He got up .
"I will be here to pick you at seven dear . "he said .
******************
I decided to wear pants instead of a dress unlike most women who go out on dates in dresses , it feels cliché.
I wore a blazer top and dark tight pants with red bottom stiletto nude heels , my hair in a neat high pony tail , I chose a simple makeup look . Smokey eyes and dark vampire red matte lipstick .
"be good okay” I said to Bun , I doubt she stay in for the night , she sometimes pops out and goes to whoever she meets at night or time when am not home.
I took my purse, my door bell rang .
I opened the door .
My date arrived looking stylish and elegant . He wore a crisp white shirt dark blue pants , his hair neatly combed even with some bit of grey hair he looks amazing like he bathed in youth water.
His eyes drank me in , I wondered if I should have worn a dress instead.
"You look mind-blowing said.
"you too "I said.
He let out his hand , I took it and shut the door behind me locking it , Bun uses the window , funny she always pushes it to close before jumping away, such a clever cat .
He led me to a parked V8 .The car felt so comfortable and fresh .
He was such a gentleman he opened to door for me .
"Your parents live here too "he asked as he started the car.
"no , both are dead "I said. A happy family is all I ever wanted , most importantly a sober family. My parents were mostly high , having parties in the house ,drugs weed and illegal alcohol was the norm of the day.
I promised myself I would rather abort than keep a child in a toxic home .Up to now I consider it a miracle how I am still alive .My mom used to do drugs when she was pregnant with me
I looked at me sadly.
"am deeply sorry "he said driving the car out of the parking lot.
"you shouldn't be , they chose crack over me "I said .
"That's terrible "He said.
"what of you, do you have a wife, kids ?"I asked.
" Am a bachelor, my wife passed away years ago “he said.
"am sorry for your loss "I said.
"its nothing "he said.
"How old are you ?"I asked.
He smirked.
"am forty six "he said.
I was surprised a little he looks very fit for someone that age.
He was very much masculine and energetic.
I realized he was driving toward the airport.
"where are we going "I asked.
He smirked.
"am taking you to a dinner date “he said.
A dinner date to the airport? I guess they opened a new restaurant there or something .
He parked next to a Private jet. My eyes widened .No freaking way !
My jaw dropped, I kept saying in my head it can't be real.
"come "he said.
I got out of the car still taken back. I have never been in a private jet even in my dreams .
How rich is this guy to own his own private jet .Maybe this is a fantasy am having or maybe I drunk something spiked that's making me hallucinate.Regardless it all seemed too real. I will make the most of it then .
