Chapter Three

John

I have to send her a message; I don’t know where she lives; I can’t pick her up.

“Hey! Can you please send me your address? I don’t know where to pick you up.”

“Sure, I’ll send a pin drop.”

That’s weird. She sent the location of my residential area to me. I suppose she lives here too! This is really uncanny!

“See you at six.”

I hope I hid my pestering bulge in my pants well. I don’t want to make the wrong impression, she seems classy, and she is gorgeous. She must have an upstanding family. Only the best will suffice for her, but I can’t help myself. I want to caress her body. I want to make it mine!

After navigating to her home, I send her another text. “I’m downstairs, but don’t rush; I’m early.”

I’m not early, I’m on time, but I don’t want her to think I’m rushing her. I drove out from the basement to park at the entrance hall on the ground floor, and a few minutes later she walks out of the entrance of her building. I’m standing next to the car to open the door for her, but I can’t believe my eyes. Her dark hair is light and airy through the summer breeze. Her black satin dress hugs her body like a custom fit. I can’t take my eyes off her! Her high heels complement her outfit, and I am stunned. What a different view, with her hair down, some over her right shoulder, the dark locks covering one breast. Her string of pearls match her earrings, and she holds her hand back in front of her as she walks over to me, lifts her right hand, and with her index finger, lifts my chin to close my mouth. I didn’t even notice my mouth was hanging open.

“Good evening, handsome,” Lilah says.

“Wait, wait, let me open the door for you!” I have to gather my thoughts. I ignore the feeling below my belt and hope she didn’t notice that. If she did, she clearly knows that I’m attracted to her.

“So, where are you taking me, mister?”

“By looking at you, my presumption is correct. Only the best will suffice for you. I’ve reserved a table for us at A Puff. I thought afterward you would perhaps like to go for a walk. It’s beachfront at HaiKou bay, so it is also convenient.”

She doesn’t say much, but she wears a humble smile. Perhaps she didn’t expect my response, but I’m lousy with meeting women. Especially someone who looks the way she does.

We arrive at the restaurant and the hostess seats us. I order some wine for us, and Lilah opts out of starters, but I order salad to start.

“You are the most beautiful women I have ever seen with my own eyes!”

“Flattery will get you nowhere, but thank you.”

Our eyes connect, and we’re back in the trance we find ourselves in every time we look at each other. Although, this time, it's a peaceful, blank stare from both sides, smiles on our faces. I break eye contact because I want to know more about her. I want to hear her voice!

“Please tell me about yourself. I want to know everything about you.”

“I am an air hostess; I live in Haikou, and I’m currently at dinner with you. How about you? Tell me about you.”

I smirk and realize she’s not going to give in easily. I’ll have to drag every piece of information out of her. She’s not volunteering anything.

“I’m having dinner with a beautiful lady, and I also live in Haikou. I don’t have children, and I have never married. Do you have any children, or are you married?”

She giggles. “No children or husband yet, but I do want some one day when I meet the right person for me.”

“What will the right person for you be? Do you have any requirements?”

“I think all of us have some requirements. I would like to meet someone who is handsome, doesn’t struggle financially, and is honest.”

“Is that difficult to find?”

“I’m still single, so that should tell you how rare it is.”

We sit and chat about favorite colors, hobbies, and general things, keeping the conversation light. I don’t want to give her the wrong impression, but I also don’t want to fall into the grey area that could become the friend zone.

After a scrumptious dinner, we walk down to the beach to look at the city lights.
