We danced , we enjoyed ourselves.
It was now time to go home .
Before we go let me wish the new love birds a wonderful love life. I said smiling

I just smiled and walked away.
On my way out I met Patrick.
I Thought you said you be in the car .
Yes but you took forever .
I laughed to his reaction .

I moved it that side it's a bit far.
But why??? JP
What did you call me .... he looked very furious.
JP!!!

He was very much upset his breath became heavy , veins where visible though it was dark.
I was now scared.
I just said sorry. Am sorry sir .
He looked at me ... his eyes where red and tears in it .
Am sorry I said again.
He shouted "Stop "
"Stop it".
Am...
Before I could say anything , he gave me a gaze and I kept Quiet.
The next thing I did was to give he a tight hug.
At first he never responded to the hug. When he felt I was pulling away .
He grab my waist and hug me back he was quite until he was okay and his breath was normal.
Since he is tall and a little huge I felt small in his arms . His face was on my shoulders and his breath was direct to my neck.
The hot air was confusing my body, felt Iike was burning up and my body start shaking.
ooh GOD please save me.
What have I done to myself. I pulled away.
Are okay now.
Yes and am forgive me.
It's Okay.
We walked to the Car and we were both quite.
The phone was ringing I checked it wasn't mine.
Sir your phone.
Hello ....... Okay.

Sir am tired and am putting on heels not flat shoes.
He looked at me for a while...
the next minute . I was carried in a bridal style.
We just walked ten minutes ...I was lost looking at the stars while in his arms. I didn't even noticed we have reached where the car was.
The sound of the door brought me back to reality and to my surprise I was still in his arms while standing by the car.
His driver opened the door for us and drove home.
We reached by my place he asked the drive to excuse us.
Nelly thank you for the night it was really nice. And forgive me .What happened earlier wasn't supposed to happen ,I just don't like been called that name.
Only my mum used to call me that name. She died when I was just 10 years old.
