For the first time in his life, Gabriel Armstrong is getting out of his mansion to visit the city for the second time in a row, signaling Duck to take off.
“Where would you like to go, Sire?”
“You know exactly where I would want to go Duck, drive” Gabriel replied while putting on his shades
“As you wish Sire”
Meanwhile, Rosanne is rushing towards the floral gardens of the city with Robert to form a documentary for their firm’s upcoming project. They have reached la floraison and setting up the equipment for the coverage.
“I can’t wait to get to Kentucky mish” Robert voiced eagerly
“Yeah I’m excited too but I wonder what lies behind such fervor ahm Robert”
“Nothing big huh but yeah they say it has a prettier breed”
“Should I call Jules, I mean she must be aware of the minor details of our trip neh Robert?”
“Shut up mish, you ain’t getting any man over this tour what I am supposed to do; someone has to keep up the shitty pace honey”
“You’re filthy you know that”
“Proudly” Robert chuckled
After a moment, the black Mercedes arrives at the scene, and the back seat window slides down.
“Duck you stay, I don’t want people to recognize me and create a distraction, I’ll be back you wait here” Gabriel voiced while getting out of the car
“Yes, Sire”
Gabriel gets out of the car, closes his coat’s buttons, and started walking towards the lure. Just beside a floral shop, he gets sight of Rosanne who’s busy capturing the scraps. Gabriel started walking around the shop, touching the flowers while his eyes inclined on the girl. He couldn’t get his eyes off her, continued starring at her; she was wearing a short black skirt with an off shoulders white top and cowboy sandals, her blonde hair were opened today; swaying high and low, she was wearing red lipstick today, also noticed the upper helix ear piercing, and just like that everything was on point. Suddenly, Rosanne saw a gentleman standing in the floral shop in a black tuxedo, shades, and she was stunned.
“Hey Robert, who is this guy in black” Rosanne whispered
“Must be one of the elites, why ask have you fallen for him” Robert giggled
“No, not fallen, I, I was just intrigued, he looks fascinating” Rosanne replied hesitatingly
“You should go and talk to him, no man can overlook such a beautiful slice”
“No, I’m not, you’re nuts, let’s finish this off quickly remember we have a flight to catch”
“Mish just leave it me you’re no good here” Robert voiced while approaching Gabriel
“No, no, Robert, stop” Rosanne followed screeching
“Excuse me Sir” Robert stated
“Yes” Gabriel voiced taking off his shades
“Sir we’re actually working on a project here and trying to document different places, and umm, civilizations in Burlington, so if you don’t mind my friend here umm she would like to capture you in front of this floral shop if you don’t mind” Robert stated while grabbing Rosanne in front of Gabriel
“Why not please take it” Gabriel voiced in a lower pitch
“Mish can you please take a parfait photo here till then I handle all the equipment back in place okay” Robert spoke while patting on Rosanne’s shoulder and went off winking
I stood startled for a moment or two, unaware of what I was supposed to do while the striking man was standing in front of me waiting to get any direction or response.
“Should we?” The man voiced in a lower tone while a captivating smile on his face
“Yes, yes, sorry I, uh nothing never mind, umm could you please stand by those lilies pretending like you are shopping” Rosanne guided through in a perfectly confused state
“Okay” Gabriel replied with a smile
My whole body was shivering, my heartbeat was bursting out, my nerves were not in my control, I don’t know what happened to me there but one thing is for sure that I haven’t felt like that around any man before; he was a chef-d'oeuvre, had a melodious yet ferocious voice, green eyes so deep as if immersed in secrets, and lips stimulating enough to make any women fall for them, also he had dimples, my biggest weakness for men.
I clicked a couple of photos and instantly went off saying goodbye before I could fall into madness. He stood there smiling at me, with his hands in pockets. Just when I and Robert were about to leave the place to get to the airport, a car came thrashing on the road and hit an old man in front of us, leaving him behind bloodied. I dropped all the belongings and rushed towards him, shrieking and yelling for help but the cars passed by while Robert was calling 911. Then the same gentleman whom I photo-shoot a while ago came forward and asked to take the man to the hospital in his car. They put him in his car and the driver left for the hospital while he stayed.
“You have done something really good today Sir, I hope you get good for this” Rosanne voiced
“Yeah I hope so too” Gabriel whispered
“Umm I, we actually, we are leaving, it was good to see you” Rosanne spoke in confusion
“A coffee wouldn’t mind your flight right” Gabriel intoned
“No, umm I would be late and…”
“No, definitely not, Rosanne you should stay for a while I mean the flight is two hours away, let me grab the luggage, and then I’ll pick you up alright” Robert interrupted
“No, Robert I, I will come” Rosanne replied with lifted eyebrows
“But I insist” Gabriel spoke
Rosanne stood staring at him for a while and then said okay. Robert flew off to the hotel. Rosanne and Gabriel went to a nearby coffee shop and ordered coffee. Rosanne sat confused in hesitation while Gabriel buoyant, continuously staring at her. After a while, Gabriel stood up suddenly and uttered.
“I should be going now, have something business to handle, it was nice to know you,” Gabriel said and went off
Rosanne sat in wonder why he would leave in such haste, finished her coffee, and got out of the coffee shop.
“Duck, I want you to take care of it from here”
“As you must say, Sire”
“And about the boy”
“Sire he has been made understood, he will be leaving alone without any problem”
“Alright then”
Rosanne stood trying to call Robert but his number was off. She started feeling a little hazy and everything around seemed to revolve. Then a black car was seen approaching, Rosanne sat down in dizziness, a man came closer and everything blacked out.
