FOREVER MY HUSBAND

Chapter 5

Mom sent me the address of the restaurant I was going to meet up with Alexander. I took my bath, picked out my short sleeve white gown, I took out my black boots, applied a little make up on my face and smiled at my reflection.

"You look beautiful Trisha!" I was complimented. My eyes caught the gown Wilson bought for me on our first date.

"I wonder if he is worried about me or wondering about looking for rich girls"

I took out my car key and headed downstairs.

"I'll be driving Mike, you can hang out" I told Mike before entering my car. The drive to the restaurant wasn't up to thirty minutes.

I got down and headed to the VIP floor. I looked around to see if there was anyone waving at me, because I don't know him and he knows me.

While looking around to see if I would see Alexander, I saw someone! He was the young man I saw yesterday at the airport. "What a small world." I felt it would be great to say hi, while I waited for Alexander.

"Hi!" I waved at him and sat down. Well he didn't tell me to

"Do you still remember me?" I asked.

"How can I forget you!" He answered with a smile.

"I didn't know I would meet you again here, That's why it's good to help, I helped you yesterday so I hope you don't mind if I wait here for my date!" I said. The expression on his face changed a little. Is he not comfortable around me?

"Are you waiting for someone?" I asked.

"No! Somehow! So what are you doing here?" He asked

"Like I said earlier, I am waiting for my date, Who doesn't have manners! Who in this world would make a woman wait for him, he should be here before me, Alexander Mandel!" I scoffed.

"Man needs to be corrected, he is richer than me, don't give him the right to make me wait for him, I.." I noticed that I was talking too much and I'm sure the young man would think I'm weird.

"Sorry.."

"There is no problem! Somehow I find you cute while you talk" He complimented, I blushed but I hope he didn't see it.

"So I'm Trisha Jackson! And you?"

"There is no need introducing myself cause I know you..I'm Alexander Mandel, the guy you were just blabbering about!" He answered. I widened my eyes in shock, I forced a little cough out of my mouth and sip from the water in front of me.

"You must be joking right?" I asked. He brought out his ID card and company's complimentary card and handed it over to me and, Lord! He is Alexander Mandel, the man I helped yesterday, the man I found the most handsome in all the men I have set my eyes on.

"I'm a very responsible man, I have been waiting for you for thirty minutes now, and I don't need anyone to teach me courtesy!" He replied and I smiled.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were the one, I.." I was short of words.

"I'm not angry at you, I'll be honest with you. Your parents most have told you about me, and it's true, I fell in love with you when we were little, you were my best friend, but I left when I was asked to study abroad, My love didn't fade away and I still want to date you" His words were straight, he told me he loved me to my face, but I'm sorry, I can't believe that word anymore.

"I understand, but I can't date you now, I don't know much about you like you know about me, I only know about your company and your name, I don't know your attitude" I answered and he nodded.

"Yeah! I understand. I understand that you need to know about me and I'm going to allow you take your time, I'll give you as much time as you want, but you should also know that I would back out from getting you as my girlfriend and then my Wife" He brought his face a little closer to me and tapped my hair, for some reason I found that Romantic.

"I heard you are not on good terms with my brother, I don't know a thing about it but my mom said it was because of me!" I asked.

"Thomas and I, we have a very complicated relationship, we don't talk that much to each other, but we are friends, you don't have to worry about the relationship between your brother and I, I just want to build a relationship better both of us, We were best friends before, and I promise to make you my wife" He smiled.

"So what do you like about me?" I asked out of curiosity.

"Everything, I like everything about you, I like the way that you are an independent woman, and the fact that you are someone your family can rely on, and the fact that you are kind and loving that you don't mind helping someone you don't even know, that's sweet!" He raised my brow and licked my lip.

"Stop flattering me!" I chuckled.

"Flattering? Why would I? I have always told you this, Do you even know how we became friends when we were little?" He asked and I shook my head.

"That would be a story for another time"

"I find it hard to trust anyone this time around, I don't want to go into complicated things about my life, but I'm in a tough situation base on love, so I can't give back the feelings you want from me" I wanted to be honest with him just the way he is with me. I don't want him to think, I'm in love with him or play with his heart, just like how Wilson did to me, I just want him to know how I feel and what I intend to feel.

"Is it because of your Husband?!"
