890 Words
When Kay’s car pulled outside her apartment, she was bubbling with excitement. Spending the entire evening with him under a different environment was enticing. She wanted to see him loosened up and dance if he could. The thought of kay dancing made her burst out laughing.
She doubted though that he could be one of those people who lacked rhythm. She was pretty sure he was not ‘beat-deaf’.
It was time to go and find out. One quick glance at the mirror and she rushed downstairs to open the door for him.
To her uttermost pleasure, the guy was a sight to behold.
He was draped in a black suit blazer with lapels that were a different shade or texture to the rest of the jacket. He was wearing a pair of matching black suit trousers.
Beneath the dinner jacket he was wearing a white shirt with a wing tipped collar. His leather shoes were shining and he had cufflinks and a black bow tie.
Good Lawd! He was flat out sexy. She felt herself pool at the juncture of her thighs. She looked up at his beaming face, His eyes were sparkling with amusement at her reaction.
His hair was pulled back and tied back into a ponytail. The sides were neatly brushed into the hair. His beard was trimmed short with shaved cheeks to create a sharp line between his hair and the skin. Making his gorgeous features stand out.
For her part, Naledi chose a ruby red elegant off shoulder sleek and luxurious silk cocktail dress with a built in bra. The neckline enhanced her beautiful collar bone and shoulders.
The jewellery was a thin gold chain collar necklace with a small ruby pendant descending low on the décolletage. It was paired with matching teardrop gold and ruby earrings.
The dress set slightly below her knees. It hugged her in the right places but not too tight to cling to her body, just enough to curve with her body, accentuating her voluptuous assets.
Her choice of dress was due to the fact that she did not wish to be over the top with floor length gowns thus being uncomfortable in minding her steps.
She did not wish to wear anything trashy at the same time. She bet most women would be in tight dresses some too short to even conform to the dress code of a black tie event which required a sophisticated level of dressing usually a floor length dress or gown. Elegance was the epitome of the dinner party.
The dress was perfect since it was elegant enough not to make her feel under dressed.
She accessorised with champagne heels and a champagne clutch bag.
She played up her beauty with winged and smoky eyes. She was not a fan of caked on makeup and preferred looking more natural. So she toned it down so as not to look overdone.
She chose a burgundy lipstick.
Her afro was elegantly styled. There were cornrow lines on either side directed upwards to create a Mohawk afro puff. The plaits were adorned with golden cuffs.
Kay was equally mesmerised by her elegance. Pride swelled up in his chest. He quickly placed a light kiss on her soft lips so as not to mess her lipstick. He stepped back to have a full sweep of her.
“You look ravishingly beautiful Star”
He lightly touched her cheek and engulfed her into a tight embrace, just to confirm that she was real and truly his to keep.
He broke the contact and took a step back to allow her to grab her clutch bag and lock the house.
Extending his elbow he offered his assistance “Take my arm”.
She gladly looped her arm under his and he led her to the waiting limousine.
“Counsellor insisted on this vehicle. He sent it for us” he quickly offered the information before she could even retort.
He hated it when he had to tell her half the truth. He wanted her to gradually get accustomed to the nature of his life without shocking her with a lot of information all at once.
He promised himself that with time he would open up about their real lives behind the facade.
There were two black SUV vehicles with tinted windows escorting them.
The chauffeur opened the door for her and Kay helped her in.
She truly felt like a princess in a fairy tale. Never in million years had she imagined she would feel the way she did. She anticipated a grand entrance at the dinner party as well.
She had no idea that she was causing a commotion. Curious onlookers stared shamelessly with some peeping through the window curtains.
After ensuring she was comfortably tucked in her seat, Kay went around to his side and climbed in.
His display of affection towards her always made her want to submit despite her strong character. She felt protected and that had always been a quality she sought in a man. He did not have to try hard nor impose anything on her. She automatically allowed him to lead. His leadership quality came naturally, his presence was overpowering and could not be ignored by anyone nearby.
He oozed dominance, a true alpha male.
They started for the dinner party, the limousine was sandwiched between the SUVs, with one vehicle in front and the other following behind.
