Aria
I had a very tiring day at work, so I couldn't do the night shift.
I walked back to the apartment Sir Donaldson gave to me, though it was in the slum, it was neat and peaceful.
My room in particular was so comfy and cozy.
I opened the door to the house,placed an order before going into the bathroom.
I didn't have the strength to cook anything. That was why I ordered shawarma,I deserved a treat after one week of being overly busy.
I took my time to scrub off the sweats and stress from my body,and played some music while I bathed.
When I was done, I put on my favorite t-shirt.
I didn't even dry my hair when I heard a knock .
I knew it was my delivery, I hurried to open the door but what met me was so shocking.
The rich dude from the café the other day, was at my door with my shawarma looking even hotter.
My heart beat increased and my mouth was wide open.
He was checking me out, his eyes were traveling down my body and when it reached my stomach, I clamped my legs.
This guy with his stare has me dripping down there.
His expensive shirt hung to his body showing off those ripping muscles.
I heaved a sigh regulating my breathing.
"Thank you " I said and I stretched to get it ,when he let it fall.
I was shocked and before I could realize,he had slammed his lips on mine.
The smell of a strong cologne hit my nose,his breath was fresh and his mouth was cold as opposed to the heat from mine.
I felt flustered and moved into him even more.
Of all my s****l experiences, I haven't gotten wet from a kiss but right now, I was dripping.
His hand went to my behind and gave a squeeze.
Holy moly!!
If I didn't stop now, I'd take this guy in front of my door.
I pushed him with all the willpower I had, I saw regret flicker in.
He started apologizing when I gave him a slap,he just held his cheeks but didn't say anything.
I started shouting at him, " how dare you???, How dare you take advantage of me??, Firstly you threw my dinner on the floor because you can afford more than that and you had the audacity to kiss me?"
I was hitting him with each word that left my mouth, but he still stood there with a sorry look on his face trying to calm me down by touching me.
"Don't you dare!! Don't touch me you bastard, all of you rich people are the same, exploiting the less privileged as if you own them!"
I kept on ranting about everything, but he just stood there looking at me.
I didn't know when I started crying but I realized we were in my living room and he was hugging me tightly while rubbing the back of my head.
My loud wails became sobs.
' I'm sorry Aria'. He said
I lifted up my head immediately,"how do you know my name??"
I was curious because I deleted all my social media and there's no way he'd look me up.
' Let's say I asked Sir Donaldson, ' he said, smiling.
That smile did things to me but I'm not about to fall into another dead trap.
" Oh right! Thank you for ruining my meal Mr, you may take your leave now".
I said matter of factly.
' Let me take you out for dinner '
" I'm not going on a date with you sir "
I walked to the door, opening it wide.
' It isn't a date I promise, let me make it up to you for ruining your dinner'
I shook my head adamantly.
' If you refuse, I'll keep on disturbing you' he said.
Such a business tycoon,he wouldn't go without striking a deal.
I thought of it again, go for dinner after all I had nothing to eat and then he wouldn't show his face again.
" You promise??"
'I promise' he said seriously with a deep soothing voice.
It felt like we were exchanging vows at the altar.
"Give me few minutes let me change into something comfortable"
I walked carefully to the room, not wanting the ass to bounce.
I put on my favorite joggers with a matching hoodie since it was a cool evening, wore my cologne, applied my gloss and I was done.
I've never been one to doll up or accessorize myself.
I walked to the dining table and got my purse, phone and credit card.
"I'm done,"I announced.
We walked out and I locked the door. He helped me into the car. I couldn't recognize which model or brand it was but it was topnotch, the kind you wouldn't see anywhere, with his driver seated at the front seat.
He closed the door and turned to his side.
The AC in the car was so cold that I started feeling so cold,that I huddled in a corner car.
He closed the door and looked at me with concern.
'Are you okay?Sorry I had to haul you out of your house like that,' he said, his expression etched with concern.
" I'm fine Sir"
' I'm Maxwell '
" I can't call you by your name sir"
' why not??'
I looked out of the window though I'm loving this attention.
Even if it'll last for one night, I'll make the most of it.
' okay,you can call me anything you want '
He said in defeat.
I laughed inwardly, he actually thought I was mad at him.
I nodded my head still looking out the window.
He was texting someone on the phone.
My phone beeped,it was an old model iphone phone, I felt ashamed but had to bring it out.
It was Cassie.
I had already promised myself not to bother her with my problems as I bought a diary today.
I put the phone in my purse, I'll answer her later.
Maxwell tapped me.
' What's wrong?'
" Nothing", I answered.
He probably wanted to ask more questions but I put on a stern face.
I was really exhausted already.
"What restaurant would you love to go to??"
" Sir, I really don't know anywhere around here, it's been a week since I moved here, anywhere quiet and local would do".
I realized I was rude to him, but you can't blame me, after all he invaded my privacy.
' okay.' he said.
Few minutes later we were at a really classic restaurant, 'Tavern on the Green ', in Central Park.
It had a mixture of history and the present.
So nice of him to bring me here, I felt underdressed.
Regarding the caliber of people who were there and those still coming.
A waitress attended to us,she was damn beautiful and hot and obviously drooling on Maxwell but he paid no attention to her.
He was going through the menu just as I did.
' Good evening sir, what would you like from the menu?'the waitress asked rather seductively.
' My lady would do that, ask her' he said with a cool demeanor.
I mentally boxed the air, chanting ' defeated b***h', even when my face remained stoic showing no emotions whatsoever.
' I'm sorry sir', she felt defeated and turned to me.
She asked me what I wanted rather harshly.
' I don't think you're interested in working here again after tonight ' Maxwell said coldly.
I was scared for a second but then realized he wasn't talking to me. How can he be so sweet and so bitter in a millisecond.
' I'm sorry sir..'she started saying,she was scared at this point, but he raised his hands and pointed towards me.
' I'm sorry ma'am, what would you like to take?'
'"Spaghetti and steak " I said, my voice came out so small.
I didn't really know what wine or juice I'd take.
' How about drinks?' she asked way more politely.
" Apple juice," I said.
She turned to Maxwell and he said he'd have what I am having.
Really??.
As the waitress left the table became so quiet and I knew he'd start asking questions, that was the last thing I wanted, so I cleared my throat.
He looked up and dropped his phone.I was so nervous but I had to act up.
" What do you do?" I asked.
He chuckled, lifted his well arched brows while studying me.
' I am an automobile engineer, I own AutoMax Incorporation ' he answered curtly as if we were in an interview.
Woah.
His company was the best automobile company in the industry. The cars produced were topnotch, no wonder I couldn't recognize the model he drove.
I was impressed but I've been through all this before.
