“Wait…” she called him and rushed outside to stop him.
“I’m sorry I was harsh to you,” she paused and couldn’t believe she was apologizing to him.
“It’s just that I’ve been through a lot and my mind is messed up. Can I make it up to you with dinner at Christabel’s Restaurant uptown tonight at 8 PM?”
“All right. I will be there. Have a nice day,” he said and left forthwith. Kimberly felt guilty of her actions. Men disgusted her but this was a different guy; it was true that it was a man who violated her but it was also a man who saved her; she just had indescribable feelings filling her mind. If truly he was her savior, then he deserves to have dinner with her. She returned to the boutique and saw that Ms Halley was still awestruck and asked her to go back to her office. She regained her comportment and dismissed the passing thoughts.
Night at Christabel’s Restaurant at 8 PM. Kimberly had already arrived in the restaurant and was waiting for her date. The restaurant was graced with exquisite seats and painting. The ambience was welcoming and pleasant. Kimberly waited a little longer and began to fidget pondering whether or not her date would come. Just as she was about to stand up, she heard a sound at the door and a few shuffling of feet. A tall, fair, well-composed young man walked in a grey suit. He look around and saw the woman from the boutique and was excited about meeting her here.
