While they were back in the apartment Mitchell kept eyeing Diana mischievously as they were preparing dinner
"Can you quit looking at me like that?" She asked Mitchell" Like what? I'm not looking at you in any way" Michelle defended herself as she nudged Diana using her butt."I know what your doing and before you even start making it a fuss, the answer is either I don't know, don't want to know or no" Diana told her"You haven't even heard what I was about to say" Mitchell said with a sigh. She then looked at Diana with puppy dog eyes to get some sympathy. In addition to this , she puffed her lips and tried to make herself look as sad as possible. Just like when a baby is about to throw a tantrum after being denied something"That's not going to work on me and you should probably check on your noodles" Diana said as she noticed that the food was about to spill over from boiling making Mitchell react fast by turning off the burner."Close call," Mitchell said, "these noodles look good don't you think?" She asked as she tasted the food by pouring some of the stew on the palm of her hand. "Yeah, that's spicy. Although it's not as spicy as that nice looking guy" she teased and Diana knew very well this topic wasn't going to disappear anytime soon no matter how much she chose to ignore it"Girl, you better stop drooling on every man who is in this city" Diana said as she held the kitchen knife cutting some fruits for the fruit salad."Ok, first of all, when you say that with that attitude and holding a knife in your hand makes me think of Michael Myers. Secondly, if he is a snack you better take a bite or else I'll be the one going shopping" Mitchell said as she took the knife from her hands and finished dicing up the fruits before putting them in the fridge. Diana couldn't help but laugh at this."I'm sorry, did I say something funny?" Mitchell asked with some sassynnes" No, no, no. Of course not, I mean it's fine for a girl to dream" Diana teased her" Bitch take that back" Mitchell said now holding the knife" Says the person who's now holding the knife" Diana said as she pointed to the knife making Mitchell put it down." What I mean is, that guy is probably a playboy, there isn't no way he can be that good looking and just be wondering the streets without having one girl here and there. I mean, new town less scandal " Diana added" Ok then, I dare you" Mitchell suddenly said as an idea came to her head"Nope.Im not taking any dares from you since I already know it's going to be a train wreck" Diana justified herself" You didn't even listen to my dare" Mitchell complained as they were setting the table"Just to make you happy, let me hear it" Diana said" Finally, I dare you to get to know this guy, if he's a playboy or not" Mitchell told her" What if he's an actual playboy, what do I get? " She asked. This question got Mitchell thinking for a while before the most outrageous of answers came to her head."You know that car that I've been saving up for since high school?" She asked Diana" Yes, aren't you supposed to hit that target by your next payday? " Diana responded and then asked" Yes, the bank is already processing my funds ready for transferring to the automobile shop immediately I get the next paycheck and I'll be issued with the documents that same day. Now, about that car, if he's a playboy you can take it off my hands and it'll be yours " Mitchell said as she took one the biggest risks of her life. The utterance of these words nearly made Diana drop the glasses she was holding. She looked at Mitchell as if she had gone nuts. She knew her for being a risk taker but such risks were not expected from her"I don't think I heard you clearly" Diana said" You did, I just put my soon to be owned car on the line " Mitchell said"You are willing to put your dream car in the hands of a man you barely know, I need you to reconsider this Mitchell " Diana warned" It's my deal, take it or leave it" she told Diana confidently with her hand stretched out. Diana reluctantly shook her hand." I have a feeling about this guy" she added" This is going to be interesting, but it's going to be a hustle to find him soon. I mean I checked and was informed that have a week to report to work" Diana said" Don't you worry, while you were not looking I asked for his number " Mitchell said as she pulled out a napkin with Ryan's number written on it"Why did you take his number in the first place? Don't tell me you were looking for a hookup" Diana said as she looked at the number"Well that was what I was going for at first, but then I came up with something better than that" Mitchell said, "now hurry up, give him a call""I can't give him a call right now" Diana immediately said"Who says so, he's a guy and you're a girl. They can't help it, call him right now and invite him for dinner if he's around" Mitchell said" Are you nuts, I can't just ask him to join us for dinner like that. We barely know him" Diana told her" Do you want the car or not? " Mitchell asked as she gave her a look that dared herImmediately Diana picked up her phone and dialed her number as she mouthed ' Ill show you' to Mitchell.After a few minutes Ryan was at their doorstep with a bottle of expensive wine in hand. Mitchell was the one who opened the door for him as Diana was serving food for him. At the doorstep, Mitchell made sure to be loud enough for Diana to heard her "Hey handsome, that was fast" she said"Well, I was still around the neighborhood getting ready to head home and stuff like that. But since Diana invited me here, I thought it wouldn't be bad if I accepted the invitation" Ryan said as he handed her the glass of wine."My oh my. Boy you got taste. Where did you get this fine glass?" Mitchell asked as she walked him into the small dinning room."I just dropped by a liquor store and asked for one of their finest and vintage wine." Ryan responded as Diana welcomed him into the room with a hug. Despite it being evening, she noticed that his cologne was still strong and he still smelled fresh like he was straight from the shower. A bonus to her. He was still wearing the black suit which lacked t
And that's how I just got her to ask me to stay the night. So I gladly took on this offer and told her that it wouldn't be a problem. I could feel my intrusive thoughts start lurking around about all the things that we could do but since I wasn't aiming for that, I just pushed them aside. I leaned back into the couch and her movement on the couch made me turn to her to see what she was up to. To my surprise, she got up with the small blanket in hand and snuggled up next to me such that she leaned on my chest and her face was next to mine. With every passing second she snuggled closer and closer as if she wasn't comfortable enough. It was when I stretched out my arm for her to come closer and wrapped it around her when I saw that she was much more comfortable. I could feel her steady breathing on my chest as we watched another movie. No matter how much I tried to concentrate on the movie, I could feel her gaze shift from the movie to me a couple of times. She did this in a way that sug
Things were good for the next few days. I was talking to Diana on a daily basis and to be honest I couldn't tell if she wanted to just hook up or if she wanted more. At this point in my life, I wasn't really into getting into a relationship since my past had enough scars that humbled me. I know you must be thinking how can a billionaire have everything and still lack the love of a woman who is expected to stand by his side and make the perfect couple. The answer is simple, the same way a famous movie quote said, 'with great power comes great responsibility ' I also have a saying that goes well with my situation, 'with a lot of money comes a lot of responsibilities'. Funny, right? But that's the truth. The moment you find yourself in a position that's higher than everyone else either in terms of wealth or power, you never seem to know who are your actual friends or if their just people hoping to benefit from being associated to you. I learnt this the hard way. As I was in my house thin
General point of viewIt's evening and Diana and Mitchell were in their apartment just watching some movies and enjoying some good time. While at this, Mitchell was also working on the computer trying to see if she could find another part time job in order to increase her income."So, how is it going with Ryan?" She asked Diana without even looking at her"It's going good, I mean we have had some meet ups here and there but I can say it's all good" Diana responded" You know I don't want that kind of answer. I'm asking like have you done anything yet that he can't do with anyone else out here? " Mitchell asked" I know what you meant to ask and that's why I didn't answer you. Wait, are you already having gitters about your car? " Diana teased. She could see that Mitchell wasn't looking at her but she knew that the car she had put on the line would be one of her most prized possessions. Personally she didn't care if she won or lost, at the end of the day she wouldn't take her car just
Mitchell agreed to accompany Diana to where she would meet Ryan since she had nothing to do at the house. They met downtown and Ryan was wearing a casual wear but not too causal. The moment Diana saw him, she realized that Ryan could basically make a casual wear look so classy. He hugged them both and seemed quite surprised to see Mitchell with Diana. Instinctively, Diana told him that she was just there to make sure that she had company before they meet. So Ryan ordered for a cab and paid for Mitchell's drive home."Now, where are we going this fine evening?" Diana asked" I think it would be best that it should say as a surprise. But just to put it out there, we are not going to one place for the majority of the night " Ryan answered as he called for a cab for them and they got in"To Belfast hotel" he instructed the driverWhen Diana heard this she was quite impressed, Belfast was one of the top hotels in the city but it was located in the outskirts of the city where not much activ
When they were shown their seats Diana couldn't stop looking at her surroundings and just admire the place. They were left alone for a few minutes to settle and relax while they think about what they would like to have. Diana couldn't wait any longer and just had to ask"How in the hell did you afford this?" She asked him to which Ryan just gave a chuckle and looked at her smiling."What can I say, I know a few people who know a few people who can make things happen" Ryan answered" So you didn't actually pay for this? " She asked" Oh no darling, I paid for this heftily. It's no joke when they say this place is for the high class. But what's there to life if you don't enjoy the small that you have? Why make money and not use it? " He asked her" Fair point " she repliedWhen it was time to order the menu had almost every kind of food that you can expect in a fancy hotel like that one. They ordered and ate their food which was surprisingly one of the best food that Diana had ever come
The car pulled up and Ryan helped Diana get out of the car since she had the blindfold on. He stood by her side and walked her into the building where the surprise awaited her. From the moment she walked into the building, she felt the environment change into somewhat of a calming sensation. The place was quiet making her question where they were given the fact that she could hear some footsteps here and there but not much talking. As they walked she could also hear some people gasp in almost silent awe at what they were seeing. All of this made Diana want to know what was happening all around her."I hope you're good in there" Ryan confirmed" I am but my anticipation is going over the moon to know where I am since from what I can sense around me it seems I'm missing out on a lot " Diana answered him. Before Ryan could say anything else he was approached by a lady who addressed him"Mr Ryan, if you and your plus one don't mind, please follow me" she saidWith her hand around his arm
Diana walked up to him and gave him a kiss on the lips just before a guide came into the room. She could tell the guide was the same lady that walked them into the room because she recognized her voice. She came to learn that they were in a place called Atlantis, an aquatic inspired theme park and the room they were in was one of the most prestigious places in the whole park. Since it was evening, the place was not as busy as during the day time making sense for the quiet environment. She also learnt that the place costed nearly double at night since most people found it having a serene atmosphere when the sun was down. That, added with the deep blue LED lights, made for a theraputic environment. The guide went on to tell her more about the park as she showed them some of the species that were inside the tank they were in and also gave them a few fun facts to keep them interested in the guide. She was informed that the room they were in was made out of glass from edge to edge apart fr
