THE MISTRESS ?

The date

Selena's pov

I sit here in regret as I watch the guy across the table fidget nervously and try to make small talk. This is practically a dumb idea. Apparently,I was too excited after finding out that I was a dominant and needed a submissive.

I immediately searched for submissive men dating sites but the replies that popped up was b**m (Bondage, Discipline,Sadism and Masochism) dating sites. I decided to click on one of the sites and got a match.

My date turned out to be a cute guy. He is slim and tall. He has brown eyes and black long hair tied in a bun.

I straighten my back up and cut him off "See,this was a terrible mistake. I think you are really cute and I know you would find your soulmate oneday."

"Oh! So you don't like me? Wh-wh-what did I do wrong? I promise I would fix it" he replies.

"You didn't do anything wrong. We are not just suitable for each other."

He looks down in sadness and says "I was hoping you would be the one. But you don't want me."

"Hey,we can be friends even though we are not a good match in terms of relationship."

"No but thanks. I am already attracted to you. A friendship with you means I would fall in love with you. I don't want to be in a one-sided situation. Thanks for the date. I would be going now" he says while standing up.

"oh! okay. Good....." I have not even completed the sentence before he disappeared out of my sight.I must have really hurt his feelings but it is better than leading him on.

A couple is seated a few tables away. They are looking at each other with so much love and seem unaware of anything around them. I groan in frustration as I see this. It seems like God really wants to frustrate the hell out of me. Why can't I find a love like this?

Now,I understand better why my dad used to always say that "one can't have it all." I guess I would never find love. I have had many relationships in the past and none worked out. I am currently 26 years old and would be 27 years in December. Time is obviously running out. I might as well as focus on the blessing God gave me which is money. I am the successful owner of "Aneles" clothing company. I have many branches all over the world and earn millions of dollars every year. I am not a billionaire but I'm quite rich.

Talking of money,I just remember I have a deal with Mr Grisham. I pick up my phone and call him. He picks up immediately and I say "Hello Mr Grisham,I am currently at Ruth's Chris steak house. You can come here now if you are nearby,so we can discuss our business deal."

"Oh! That is a great idea. I am not far away from there. I am on my way." he replies.

"Okay,I would be expecting you then" I say as I hang up.

"I guess now I have to wait", I say to myself as I continue eating my food.
