APRIL 13, 2017

I went under the shower and washed the sweat out of my body, to be honest I know nothing and less about Nashville, Levi knows a lot about this place but me, I spent most of my time on a large branch tree near the walls of this mansion watching all the things that goes around Pharmakeia but other that Levi and the boys, they are the privileged ones who can totally go around the city that we are assigned or wherever the future queen is,

A knock on the door of my bathroom caught my attention,

“You done yet?” Amary’s faint voice outside the door shows how excited she is,

“Yeah, almost, I’m about to go out” I wrapped half my body in a towel and opened the door and she left out a sigh and went to the bathroom,

“You know your hair is dripping wet!” she said as she went out of the bathroom with a smaller towel on her hand,

“You know this is for your neck, so that since you have wiped your body already it will avoid your whole body from getting extra wet again” I chuckled as she wrapped the towel around me,

“Hmm hmm, yes boss” I said sarcastically which made her of course made her give me another eye roll,

“What are you still doing here?” as I rummaged over the closet,

“Nothing, nothing, I’ll get ready” she chuckled as she left the room, I watched her leave as I prepared a regular washed off pants and a black v-neck shirt,

I wore a white Stan Smith with a black back and my watch then dried off my hair and finished it with a denim jacket,

I checked the time and it was already 6:30 in the evening, dinner is probably first in our list,

“Levi, give me the hippest restaurant to eat at here at Nashville then something for dessert,”

“Alrighty, your wedding planner, should I look for one?” the gentleman on the other side of my head is actually chuckling over probably knowing that I am indeed having infatuation over Amary Anthur,

“HA HA, just tell me where to go, its details, how to actually get there?” I said, I heard a twist in the knob and quickly stopped talking,

“So where are you taking me?” she asked,

“Ughm,” waiting for a suggestion, because clearly I have never watched a concert in the city of music, sad but true, I had no time to,

“Burger up” Levi said,

“Well, I will take your to a hipster restaurant if you eat at one, it is called Burger up, from the name itself they serve you something that can make you fat just from the first bite, ughm, you alright with that?” I was punching my left palm with my right fist as I wait for her response,

“That will be totally cool, I don’t mind eating food that will make me fat at the first bite because clearly I train a lot so that amount of fat will actually be burned” she winked at me,

“You know, I should probably count the times you roll your eyes on me and the number of times you wink at me,” she gave me another wink and come to think of it, this is the first time I’d see her in casual clothing,

She was wearing a white shirt with black stripes or maybe a black shirt with white strips haha, then a sweater on top and a white fitted somehow baggy ripped jeans folded at the bottom,

“What? Stan Smith too?” I said pointing at her shoes she looked at mine and moved her neck head back a bit, and smiled,

“I guess you are the black to my white, so let’s go and eat and have fun!” she said like an excited little girl, I grabbed my wallet,

“I’m sorry I have not yet bought a car here at Nashville,” I said, “But I’ll have mine delivered maybe it will come soon” she nodded and gave me a thumbs up, I grabbed my wallet and phone then we fled to the main door,

“Can we like, go alone without a driver?” she gave me a malicious smile and signaled me to follow her with her pointing finger,

We are probably headed to their parking lot, we entered a through a two door and she opened the lights, more like football lights, I don’t know but it revealed a very good and wide set of vehicles from the vintage ones to the most recent,

“My dad loves cars, so do I, I just love driving them most specially the ones who can make you sing highway to hell she said, she walked to the middle and then back to near me and opened a glassed window opened with thumb print,

“You do not need to bring any car here, we have plenty, since your fingerprint is actually already inserted in the system, you can totally open this anytime, you see that door we have motor cycles there but the two coaster vans are on that other door so, but all the keys are in this closet, it is bullet proof and shock proof” I nodded as she grabbed one key with a Ferrari’s logo and walked to black Ferari 488, she held into a lever and pulled it up opening the huge garage door,

“Great choice” she winked at me,

“People in Nashville actually knows me but you know there are still places I haven’t been at so yeah, excite me with Burger Up” I nodded,

“Should I drive?” I asked,

“Yeah, sure,” she threw me the key and then rushed to open the door for her,

“Thank you” she before entering the car, I closed the door as she settled in then jogged to the driver’s chair, I started the sexy sound of the Engine and stepped on the gas,

Levi guided me as we drove about 20 or almost 30 minutes to Burger Up, then I found a good parking spot then assisted Amary as she went out of the car,

“I guess, chivalry is not exactly dead,”

“Of course not” as we were about to walk to Burger Up and group of kids started to approach us screaming,

“Amary”

“Amary”

“Amary”

Voice from different kids,

“They are children from the Race orphanage one of the charities my family has supported over the years, I send a sports tutor to that place to train them of self-defense,” they all seemed very pleased to meet her even the nun that escorted the kids,

Amary started conversing with the nun and she asked me to approach her, “James, this is sister Pam, she is actually a Vietnamese staying here in Nashville guiding these kids, Pam, James, my fiancé” wow, she was not actually ashamed to introduce me,

“Early evening Sister Pam, pleasure to meet you” I extended my hand and so did she “No, the pleasure is all mine, Amary’s friend is our friend also since you are a fiancé then I wish you both the best in advance.” I acknowledged her response with a nod as Pam changed her gaze from me to Amary,

“We better get going dear, the kids might get cold, we actually just went to the public library I don’t know why it is still cold in the midsts of April” Pam commented rubbing her arms,

“The kids must be cold Sister Pam,” I commented,

“Yes, It was a pleasure meeting you James, I hope to see you at the house sometime” she gave me a very warm smile and the kids hugged Amary,

We waved good bye to them and as they were already far from the tracks, I looked at Amary,

“Did you not know, you were supposed to be Ms. Bad Girl? How can you be so sweet to these kids?”

“Baby steps James, Baby steps, you still have tons to learn about me and knowing me is part of your grit sharpening” she winked at me as I followed her inside Burger Up, I guess yes,

You are indeed, full of surprises, Amary.
