The Obsession Beneath

Chapter4

Strangers, people who just disrupt my thoughts, men in the bar who are perverts, the like everything in skirt and on makeup I thought in a flash

as I tilted my head and looked behind me I slowly looked from his shoes down to his head, hmm I thought he looked like nothing I expected,

he looked fine and well polished and smelt like wealth, and you're I asked in a loud tone, staring into his eyes as he stood then he responded may I,

the audacity I thought as I stared into his eyes while sipping my drinks, no ones there right, I said as I pushed the chair a bit, thank you he said as he sat besides me, and gave out his hand wanting to shake me

I'm Rafael he said , I'm mira I said ignoring his hands okay he said as he called out to the bartender, what brings you out here, mira he asked, how do you know I don’t live here ? I asked,

you look like a newbie and i've been here a couple of times so I doubt, hmmm a regular then I said, how often do you walk up to ladies and disrupt them, the fall and follow you like prince charming right,

you seduce them with your fine looks right I said right I said slamming the table at that second I became aware that I've ranted for a minute to a total stranger,

im sorry I said closing my mouth im sorry, I promise I didn’t mean what I said ,hmm he said as he smiled and just kept looking, like he was reading me, he kept quiet for a minute

then in a low smooth tone he asked , what do you do for a living, he asked, im a waiter I responded still not over how I ranted to this stranger,

no wonder you know so much about men, he said tilting his head and he let out a smile, where do you work in a club in….

street, haa, I guessed right, Damian said you're not from around here, how could you tell I asked, apart from the fact that I'm new here ? I asked,

well you sat alone that’s rare, and you're beautiful, sweet words I responded, sweet , sweet words, fine he said laughing, fine what brought you this far out ? damian asked,

Slow down stranger, so many questions in one this light night , are you an interviewer ? I asked giggling, well I'm not but I'm interested because you're audacious and outspoken,

what do you fear, he asked looking into my eyes, hmm. I responded that’s a dark and rare question. I said looking at his eyes,

well, I do not have fears generally but right now I fear losing my sister, what's wrong with her ?

Damian asked. I won't tell it's my turn to do the asking, I said, well shoot he said as he sat upright and crossed his hands like a ceo or something waiting for my response.

What do you do for a living? I asked, well im in a cartel he said, what I responded, im joking he said laughing well, whats it then I cant tell you.

if I do you may lose interest in me and I want to stay mysterious so you can get to know me on your own terms, because I can bet I'm the first you're meeting like this,

well, no I responded, mr. myserious, but he said moving forward at me, I can tell you my fear and a need of mine, hmm mysterious I thought, I'm all ears, I said truly interested in what he has to say for the first time in a while,

My biggest fear is losing a company my father has spent so much time building over the years because of what the CEO spot requires, well what does it require ? I asked very interested,

whats wrong with your sister he asked, really I asked laughing, you go me there, just tell me then id complete my need he said,

well my sister is in need of a surgery that costs a fortune and I cant afford it, hmmm damian said interesting he added, whats interesting about my sick sister i asked,

I promise it's not about you at all, he said, for me to fill the CEO spot I must get married before the end of the year. That means I've decided to let it go to the next family, but you can't right ? I asked yes.

which brings me to my proposal, proposal what proposal I asked curiously, now listen before you decide, fine in all ears, I want you to sign a contract of marriage of three years,

during these three years id cover all your sisters exposes , hospital bills you can start a business for yourself and whoever you choose, you can travel round the world,

How many ladies have you given this proposal to ? I asked, surprisingly you're the first damian responded,

hmm I said, if I stammered lost for words, if you have this amount of money why are you chasing that position, like I said it’s the family's business if I let it go my father will be disappointed,

he'd feel like im disowning it as much as I don’t need it, I have to pick , it’s the least I can do after refusing most of the family's businesses,

it's time I get going I said without thinking, why damian asked, well I'm engaged to be married soon, so yes I can't marry you,

if you're so certain about him how comes you're here by your self damian asked sending a chill through my body,

I sat down , well I needed air and I needed somewhere that wasn’t familiar, somewhere far from the comfort of home, somewhere with lights and slow music and happy people.

Does that bother you? I asked, getting upset slowly.

Well, I wish you the best in your marriage, he said, seeming upset, and I wish you luck on your

hunt, I responded, what if he doesn't marry you ? Damian asked
