Deadly Gorgeous Beauty (Lionheart Queens)

Chapter 4

@RandomThoughts:  I was on FaceTime with a guy and I said, God if he is not the one, send me a sign. My phone died at 84% Battery...

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

After being led to a car that cost the same amount as a mansion, before I could open the car door Jake quickly opened it for me. While doing so, he flashed me an angelic grin that almost made my legs feel all jelly. 

"What gentlemen or maybe he was just trying to prevent me from putting a dirty little spot on his precious expensive car." I thought to myself. It’s not like I was jealous of his car or anything…Alright, maybe a little.

After I thought that I noticed him with a smirk on his face like he was trying to suppress a laugh. Maybe I had said that aloud but I'm pretty sure I had not.

Even though I was a surgeon, I lived a simple life really, preferring to send all my income to my birth family through anonymous letters. 

Like just last month, I had posted my now 100-year-old brother Phillip a large sum of money. Our parents had died and he was now the only immediate family that I had left with his new grandkids on the way. 

I still kept tabs on them. 

On the ride, we were both quiet so I looked at him for permission to turn his precious radio on. He nodded so I started listening to one of my favorite stations and could not resist singing in tune with some of the songs.

"You have a nice voice." he suddenly said to me. I just replied "thanks" while a small smile formed on my face as he was the first person to tell me I have a nice voice. I guess it was because I had never actually sung in front of any person.

Something about Jake just made me comfortable to be myself. 

"So where are we going?" I then asked him.

"To the golden cuisine restaurant just around the corner," he replied casually. 

"Hmm, I've never heard of it but oh well there is a first time for everything," I replied back. 

 Just as we arrived he opened the car door for me to get out.

There was a long line of people waiting to get into the restaurant but just as I was about to enter the line Jake gently pulled my hand and led me straight to the door.

When he touched my hand, I swear I had felt electricity surging through my body causing me to experience a hot fiery feeling and all tingly inside.

"Why was this stranger making me feel like this?" I thought to myself.

I looked towards the door Jake was leading me and I had to rub my eyes to make sure I was seeing correctly as the door looked like it was made of pure Gold.

I did not even know that a place like this existed.

There was a big and strong bouncer in front of the door who looked really scary and surprisingly he did not stop us from going in. The restaurant looked expensive and the walls were also painted in gold. All the customers were dressed in expensive clothes and jewelry making me feel like a bugger among Royalty.

 Even the waiters were dressed better than me, after all, I was just wearing casual clothes, a pink blouse, black jacket, my blue jeans, and sneakers. I guess you could say I was not a fashionista but I really did not have time for dressing up.

I just wore what I felt comfortable in. In my own defense, I had thought I was going home after work, to chill and watch netflix, not to some elegant golden cuisine restaurant.

 Suddenly I heard Jake whispering in my ear sending chills around my body,

"I think you look great." In that deep angelic voice of his.

Wow, I thought to myself, Is this guy a mind reader? Then I dismissed the thought as I was flattered by his comment.

 Some well-dressed guy who looked to be the manager came to personally greet us. 

"Good evening Sir, it's always a pleasure to have you grace us with your presence. If only we had known you would be coming, then we would have made special arrangements in your honor. " the man then proceeded to talk while looking at Jake in a respectable manner. 

"No need for that Rico, just treat me as you would do any normal customer. " Jake then answered him modestly, impressing even me. 

"How could I treat you as a normal customer when you practically own this whole restaurant." Rico then added shocking even me. 

"Alright Rico, stop embarrassing me and let me go eat with my beautiful companion." Jake then playfully replied while pulling me closer to his side. This caused Rico to finally notice me because I had been standing behind Jake, 

 "Hello Mademoiselle, I had not noticed that Sir had brought with him such a beautiful diamond pearl." Rico then said while now turning his attention to me and his statement caused a small blush to appear on my face. 

Upon seeing how impatient Jake was getting at his flirting, Rico then led us to where we would be eating.  Instead of the VIP room, Rico led us upstairs to another level of the building. 

"I hope you enjoy the experience in our luxurious exclusive VIP room." Rico then added with a wink to me and quickly left. 

The room had a great view of the ocean as the front walls were made of glass. The side walls had aquariums and I could see fish and even a shark.

Here I thought places like this existed in movies only. There was already a table made for him and a handsome waiter waiting for us. It made me think of how I had to start going out more, instead of wasting my immortal life to work all the time. 

Jake looked at me as I admired the beauty of the room then he pulled a chair for me to sit and ordered food for us while speaking to the guy in Italian.

 Once the food arrived I dug in and even let out a moan as I tasted one of the delicacies. Then I got lost in my thoughts, ignoring Jake. 

It made me think of how I would gladly sleep or stay here forever just to eat delicious food like this every day. You could feel that it had been cooked with passion.

Hmm...maybe I could just kidnap the chef. Make him my personal slave then force him to cook for me every day while staying locked up in my prison basement whenever I was full. 

This time Jake really started laughing out of nowhere making me wonder what was so funny?

 It even made me check my teeth to see if there is something on them making him laugh so much. 

 "What’s so funny?" I finally asked with an annoyed tone. 

 "Your thoughts are funny," he answered in his deep alluring voice while looking at me with an amused look. 

"Yeah right like you can read minds." I jokingly added while rolling my eyes.

He started laughing again and this time it was a deep angelic laugh and I found it really sexy.

He then leaned towards me across the table,

 "Well Sonia, I am full of surprises after all."

Was it so weird that I had liked the way my name sounded on his lips? My heart had tugged when he had slowly said each syllable. 

"So what's your full name?" I curiously asked him.

"It’s Jake Edwards Zitaro Hearten," he answered me.

Damn, that was a long full name but I liked it.

"So tell me, why is some rich millionaire like you wasting his time on me?" I then said seriously to him.

*Cough* "Billionaire" *cough* I suddenly turned my head to look at the naughty waiter who had just eavesdropped on our conversion and added a comment. 

But my mouth was now wide open at the thought that I was sitting here with some bloody billionaire. And here I had been thinking that he was only a restaurant owner.

Jake though seemed like he did not appreciate the interruption because he cleared his throat causing the waiter to quickly leave the room with a sheepish look on his adorable face. Now it was just the two of us in this gigantic room. 

"um yeah, as I was saying, as a billionaire aren't you supposed to be somewhere playing in your yacht with models or doing some richly things that you rich people do." I then added giving him suspicious eyes. 

"Really Sonia, you are already judging me just because I have money?" Jake then replied pretending to look distraught. This made me feel really bad and he was right. I was being rude. After all this dinner was a kind gesture from him. 

So I quickly did a small apology and continued eating the delicious food while starting a normal conversation. 

We started talking just learning about each other. I found myself doing most of the talking, which was bad as he was going to know more about me than I would about him. He also had this air of secrecy about him and I wanted to desperately have him unravel all his secrets.

He then stood up graciously and gently took my hand leading us to the view overlooking the balcony. It was a beautiful night with shiny stars scattered all over the sky.

Suddenly he then gazed straight into my eyes instead of the view. I ended up lost in those beautiful eyes of his which just pulled me in like a magnet. I also noticed that at night his eyes turned into different shades of blue which was even more beautiful. As I bit my lips from being nervous, he started leaning in about to kiss me.

Then BAM! I realized this had turned into a date and I was about to kiss him. But he had a girlfriend! and I refused to be anyone's second girlfriend. 

Plus, things were going too fast.

I had to end this. So I moved away from him and turned away about to rush for the door. But I suddenly stopped as I felt his hand grabbing me. I just knew it was him as his touch always gave me that magical feeling.

He pulled me so that I was now facing him. I then noticed the pained expression on his face and I don't know why but it really hurt me to see him like this.

"Sonia, did I do anything wrong?" He desperately asked me. So I decided to tell him straight in his face.

"Jake you have a Girlfriend and I feel like this was turning into a date so that is why I have decided to leave since I only agreed to dinner as new friends."

 But the real truth was also that I felt a deep connection with this guy and it scared the hell out of me, 

Surprisingly my words seemed to shock him for a while.

"What are you talking about?" He asked me while looking confused. I was really shocked that he really was denying the fact that he had a girlfriend.

"You know, the hot blondie at the hospital," I replied to him with an accusing tone.

He first looked at my face trying to read if I'm serious then he burst into amused laughter. That irritated me even more.

 "What's so funny?" I shouted back.

This stopped him from laughing while he took a step closer to me...making our bodies almost touch. This made me feel uncomfortable as this created an urge in me to just wrap my arms around that magnificent body of his.

I took a step back and he took a step forward. We did his three times until I found myself trapped because of the wall behind me. I looked sideways to see if I could escape but he noticed that and blocked my way out with his arms.

He was now really close causing me to feel his sweet breath on my face. My heart was already beating really fast and my body was reacting like crazy to him being close.

I think he was doing this intentionally as I noticed the smirk on his face but he had a girlfriend, why couldn't he just leave me alone!

His next words made me feel stupid for thinking that as he whispered seductively into my ear with a playful tone,

“Hmmm you know I never thought of you as the jealous type and I'm really flattered by that."

Before I could say anything he added,

"By the way, the hot blondie is my sister."

He winked at me then removed his arms still with a smirk on his face and went to stare at the ocean view. I just stood there with my cheeks flushing red.

I mean this was really embarrassing as I had accused this guy of having a girlfriend who turned out to be his sister. Where did all this jealousy I felt come from? I asked myself. I just met this guy today and he was already making me go crazy.

What was happening to me?

I quickly decided that the only thing to do was to still escape. Like right now when he was standing facing the other way and looking all mysterious and handsome,

But just as I was about to exit I heard a fake cough, "damn." I thought to myself I should have just shifted into a rat and escaped already.

 "Miss Clemton are you leaving already? I just thought you would like to wait for dessert. Unless of course, you prefer for me to go tell poor Rico who is trying to impress, that it was not to your liking?"

I can't believe he was playing the poor Rico card on me to make me stay. 

What made me more irritated was the smirk on his face, it’s like he was enjoying taunting me.

"I'm never ever going to accept any offer for dinner from any stranger ever again." I angrily mumbled to myself as I turned back. 

"What you say Miss Clemton?" He then replied in a playful tone while I just mumbled "nothing".

I then came up with an incredible lie to put him in place. 

 "How do you know that I was not going to the bathroom instead?" While mimicking the playful tone he used on me.

He quickly chuckled with another smirk "Miss Clemton who told you the bathroom was that side". 

To my horror, I noticed he was correct as I saw the bathrooms were on the left opposite side. To make it more embarrassing, the door was written in big capital letters BATHROOM.

Because of my stubbornness, I just huffed at him and went straight for them.
