The Billionaires Desires novel Chapter 2

“I… I… I’m sorry about my reaction earlier. I… I… I just don’t like surprises.” I stammered out. When did I become a stutterer, why am I acting like a lovestruck puppy. Gosh, this is so embarrassing.

“I’ll take note of that my love, I’ll try not to upset you next time.” He whispered into my ears, pecking me on my cheeks once more as he puts his hand around my waist, leading me back inside. The butterflies in my stomach danced happily, I have never been this nervous in my entire life, the last time I felt this nervous was that night when I first danced with Nathan at OXBY’s. I can’t believe that I’d agreed to go on with this dinner date. This is a huge mistake, I’m so sure of that. 

He led me back to the best table in the restaurant, it is close to the huge floor-to-ceiling glass window and it overlooks the busy street, giving a pretty good view. The view is not as elegant as our rooftop restaurant, but it is beautiful nonetheless. He pulled the seat for me, letting me seat first, then he pushed my seat back inside before he turned around and sat on the other side of the table, sitting right in front of me. 

“I hope you don’t mind, I ordered for wine already,” he let out with a smile gesturing to the bottle of champagne that is sitting on the ice bucket on the table. He made a hand gesture and a blonde waitress came forward and opened the bottle of wine, pouring it into the two empty glasses on the table. She stood beside me as she poured the wine, leaning forward to expose her boobs to his full view, trying to make eye contact with him while she tried to seduce him. I turned to see his reaction to her seduction, but I saw none, I mean none at all. It is either he thinks she is invisible or maybe it is because he has his eyes fixed on me, but he paid little to no attention to her, he only gestured with his hand to give his orders to her. If I were this waitress, I would give up already because this is so fucking embarrassing. She finished pouring the wine and walked away, swaying her hips as she left. I almost laughed out loudly, but I had to ignore it so he doesn’t think that I’m jealous or something.

““You are so beautiful.” He let out in a soft whisper as I took a sip of my wine. I smiled at his compliment, but that smile grew wider when I tasted the wine, I let out a soft moan when the flavors hit my tongue and exploded in my mouth. Damn, this wine is so good. I picked up the bottle to see the brand because I’m definitely ordering this wine at the restaurant.

“What, you don’t like it? I can have them bring something else,” he let out in a panic when he saw me reading the label of the wine.

“Are you fucking kidding me?

I love it, this is like the best wine I’ve had in a very long time. Where there hell have they been hiding this?” I responded with a soft chuckle, making him smile in relief as I gulped down the wine and emptied my glass almost immediately. So far, he has been a perfect host and he is behaving like a proper gentleman. I can’t believe that I’m actually going to say this, but I am beginning to like the guy. He is just so perfect, some would say that he is too good to be true. We spoke a little about business and we spoke about our personal lives as well. I told him only the necessary things, he never raised questions about my kids and their father and I never said anything about him either. 

I let him do all the ordering because I could see that he has such a good taste in everything. He didn’t disappoint, he had me moaning delightfully as I ate a perfect French meal. The dessert was even better, I am so glad that I agreed to go on with the dinner, I totally had fun. Although I still think that this is a huge mistake because I’m beginning to fall for this guy. I keep making comparisons, trying to see the similarities that he has with Nathan, and funny to see, I think they have so many similarities and it’s so weird because I don’t know if I like him because he is a nice guy or is it because he has a lot of similarities with my husband who might still be alive or dead.

Crazy right?

That is what I think as well, I think it’s totally insane but I can’t do anything about it, at least not now. I’ll just go with the flow and see where this leads us. He held my hand as he led me out of the restaurant, leading me to his white Rolls-Royce that is parked just around the corner. It’s a few minutes past eleven o’clock. I can’t believe that I stayed out so late without thinking about my kids. I was having so much fun that I forgot about them, what kind of a mother am I?

The worst part of it all is that I don’t want this night to end, I totally enjoyed his company and a part of me is telling me that I want more, I just don’t know what more I could be expecting, but I let him lead me to the car, I have to head back home before I do something I would regret. He opened the car door, letting me get in before he turned around to go through the other door. His driver drove slowly as he took me back to the house. Lawrence held my palm all the way, caressing me softly. There is tension in the air, I can feel it and I’m damn sure that he can feel it as well. I gulped down deliver down my dry throat, it was getting impossible to breathe in this car. We both know what is happening but I guess we both have our reasons for resisting this temptation. He wants to be the perfect gentleman, he doesn’t want to make a pass for my honey pot on our first date.
