A Limo, A Date and many more revelations

 And he opened the door. I looked inside the limousine “What if this guy wants to kidnap me. But he looks sweet and old and nice.” Driver cleared his throat “ I meant Mr. Knight is waiting at the restaurant. He gave me directions to pick you up.” I nodded. I was skeptical and felt uneasy to jump into the limousine. I was still thinking and my phone rang. It was Andrew’s. “Eve, I sent a limo to get you. Parker is a trusted employee. Do not worry.” I nodded then I realized he must be expecting my answer “Okay, I am getting in the limo. Will see you soon.” “Can’t wait” was his breath-y reply and the line went dead. I kept my phone inside the clutch “Parker, is it?” He nodded “Yes, Miss Smith.” I slid in through the open door and waved bye to Tia. She faked wiping tears from her eyes and said “Make momma proud dear.” I gasped. Parker stifled a laugh. Parker got in and here we go. I was nervous, my hands were cold. This is not my first date. This is my first date with Andrew. He is hot, smoking hot. His stares make me feel something deep in the pit of my stomach and his eyes are like molten lava and an edge to it. I think I am going insane. Ride was short and surprisingly little to no traffic. The restaurant looks so posh, I bet interiors will be screaming richness. I proceeded towards the door and looked at the lady standing near reception. “Miss Smith?” I nodded. What’s with everyone ,Miss Smith?”Mr. Knight is waiting for you. Can I take your coat?” Okay this never happened with me. Like I am a porcelain doll, I was carefully handled and transferred to another party , labelled as fragile. I saw Andrew sitting and talking over the phone, he looked up and glanced at me. Our eyes collided and I could not hold his gaze any longer, quickly looked at the lady who was telling me the way to my table. Andrew got up, keeping his phone at the table “You look beautiful tonight.” I blushed. I could not look up to see the expression on his face. “Are you nervous Evangeline?” I looked up mustering all my courage. “I am not nervous. It’s weird. We are still strangers and this feels like a blind date, only I know you beforehand. So it’s weird.” He smiled. His eyes shining with mischief “You have grown since we last met.” I am puzzled now. “Since yesterday?” He laughed. Waiter arrived to take our orders and Andrew replied “Is Chef Bezos in the kitchen tonight?” Waiter nodded “Yes Sir he is.” “Tell him my usual and a Champagne to celebrate.” After the waiter leaves, “ This is my restaurant, I mean I am a partner here, so I come here whenever I am in town. Apologies I also ordered on your behalf, but you will like it. I ordered champagne though I know you love vodka.” Now this is revelation, not everyone knows this. “I do not love Vodka.” I took a glass of water and took a few sips to calm myself down. This is not a good evening and I am feeling vulnerable under his gaze and his revelations after revelations. “Sure you don’t. Who would love vodka after puking your stomach down in a club.” I choked on water. He is laughing. “You look so cute. When I said you have grown up I meant ” he trailed off and realization hit me like a tight slap. “You..” I was pointing my finger at him. “Sweetheart, do not point fingers at me. It was your father who told me to find you. It was irresponsible of you and Tia to sneak out like that on your birthday night.” My eyes grew big and I was breathing heavily. “Because of you I was grounded for 1 month.” I said with my clenched teeth. I was seething in anger. “Sweetheart, you should be thankful we got you before anything happened.” Seriously. You got to be kidding me. “Right, Sure.” I was unable to form a sentence. I was angry. “You look cute, angry little bird.” I snapped my head towards him. “How did you track me? Did dad ask you to follow me?” He was smiling, like a devil, before leaping on his prey. “What?” “Shhh.. Don’t scream. I have a reputation here. “ He said while straightening his coat and tie. “Please.” I could not just take his words now. “I think I am not hungry anymore.” I deadpanned while waiting for him to answer. “Princess, your father was worried about your safety. He didn't know you had plans after graduation or something. You could have told him about your plans and avoid the punishment.” I gave him a glare. “As if he would have allowed me. I am still waiting, how did you find me?” He gave me a look which confused me and a soft smile. “It's good that I found you. We tracked your cell phone. It is not that difficult. I own a security team who can do this kind of stuff and much more. FYI, since you are now officially my fiancé, you are getting tracked for your own safety.” I gave him are-you-serious look. He nodded. Our food arrived and then the topic changed to the details of merger contracts and what he has decided and what I think should be done. “Dessert?” He questioned. I was so engrossed in thinking about the plans I just waved a no. “You know what, let's have an ice cream. What do you think?” I blinked my eyes a few times, is he bipolar? He can switch moods in consecutive sentences. “No, it's fine.” He was not buying my no. “Why are you on diet or something? You don’t need it.” This man, ugh “No, I am not on diet. I do not want to have ice cream now. You go ahead and have ice cream.” He was looking directly into my eyes making me tremble. Why, not sure though. “When you were sulking after being grounded, you were eating nothing but mint chocolate chip ice cream. Like your breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner.” Saying I was shocked would be an understatement. “How on earth” He finished my sentence “Do I know this? I came 2 days after your birthday to actually meet you. Charlie told me this and the fact that you have locked up yourself in the room.” My eyes watered. I was angry with my dad. Tia and I sneaked out of the house and went to a club. I wanted to enjoy my 21st birthday but Sebastian happened. Tia’s long lost ass boyfriend. He created a scene because Tia was dancing with someone hotter than him and he was jealous but would never admit the fact. They were fighting and I was puking, maybe the first time drinking or vodka was bad, whatever and then I passed out. When I opened my eyes, I was in my bed and dad was looking at me. He was so angry and I was grounded. Till this date I didn’t know how I reached back home. Tia told me dad came to get us and there were few men with him. Andrew was never in the equation. Suddenly he knows all the details of my life is making him quirky. His large warm hands covered my hands and gave a little squeeze. His thumb was making small circles at the back of my hand. “I am sorry for bringing this up now.” His eyes were soft and a different emotion in them which I could not understand. “Let’s skip dessert. Let’s go. I want to meet Catherine today.”
