~ HAZEL CLAIRE POV~
"Father, mother, I have a date with Mr. Klain this morning. He's going to pick me up at 8:30 later."
"Did I hear it right, hubby?"
My father nodded to my mother. My mother and father are open-minded people, but if the ones that I am going to date are rich people, My mother felt excited and extremely happy. She even wished I was going to marry them. But they're not lasting longer, nor do they want to be with me due to my high and pale skin.
"Are you going on a date with the owner of The Big Boss Company, Haz?"
I nodded, which is the part that my mother didn't understand.
My phone received a message.
From Mr. Klain:
I'vealready arrived, Miss Claire.
I should've known that he didn't exactly want to go on the date with me. I'll not expect him to knock on my front door and ask for permission from my parents.
I should have realised by now that he still wants Kristen. He probably wanted me to help him persuade my best friend. I'm such a fool.
What can I do now? He's already here and I'm already dressed up. My parents already knew about my date with him. I just went and pretended I didn't know anything. This is my own fault.I shouldn't blame anyone.
"Father, mother I'm going to go now. " "But..."
my father looked at my mother because she was about to ask something.
"Take good care of yourself, okay Haz," my father kissed my cheeks and forehead.My mother also does the same and gives me a soft smile.
I put light makeup on my face today. I don't want to look so pale. I just hope he didn't feel ashamed of me.
When I arrive at his car, his driver has already opened the door for me.
I don't want to look at his face. That's another reason why I like him, apart from his body and his character. It makes me fall in love with him every single time. But I know that I'm not a qualified girl for him.He is like an eagle high in the sky, and I am just a tiny bird and I cannot follow him to the highest sky. A girl can dream, right? It is not a sin to dream.
I know I cannot have him, but I can still love him. "
"Good morning, Miss Claire. "
His maskulin smell hit my nose and made me so weak that I swear I wet a little bit of my pants. Why does my body react this way when he is near me?
But I have to brave myself because he doesn't want me. He only needs me to persuade Kristen, my bestie, to accompany him.
"Good morning to you too, Mr. Klain. "
"You look so beautiful, Miss Claire."
"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Klain."
I swear I can see his smile. And I have to remind myself all over again it's just him been polite and he didn't sincerely think that I'm a beautiful girl.
"We can move now, Mr. Parker. "
His driver drove us to Mr. Klain's restaurant. I know he has a five-star restaurant. Many celebrities go there to have meals.
But why does he want to be seen by anyone? He was just going to ask for my help to persuade my bestie. He should bring me to an unknown place.
He got out of the car after his driver opened the car door. I wanted to open my door, but his driver had already opened it for me. To my surprise, he was waiting for me and offered his hand to me. Why does he do this? I will get a wrong idea about his behaviour if he keeps doing this.
I hesitated to accept his offer, but he grabbed my hand faster and linked my hand to his arm. I know I'm a lot shorter than he is. He's so tall, probably over 6 feet tall. Lucky for me, the high heels that Kristen bought for me are so helpful and they help me not look too short compared to him. He walked steadily and I had to walk beside him, but I looked down because I felt ashamed of myself. I'm nobody compared to him.He stopped walking and I stopped my steps too.
"Good morning, sir and miss. I am going to be your waiter for this morning. Please follow me. "
The young waiter escorted us to a VIP room. It is isolated from other tables and rooms too.
The VIP room is so big and inside it has a round table, but it also has a semi-rounded fluffy sofa. That's why celebrities like it here. They can seat themselves comfortably here while enjoying their meals. It has an air conditioner too.
"Please sit down, sir and miss. What would you like for your breakfast today, sir? "
" Get me my regular coffee and for this lady, bring her the signature dishes of my restaurant and what will your drink be?
Mr.Klain looked at me, and I just realised that he wanted me to order my own drinks. I thought he would order everything for me.
I feel shocked and didn't ready but usually I drink strong coffee too because I need it too work for the rest of the day.
same drink, strong coffee.
" Thank you"
I smiled at that young waiter. He replied with a smile.
"Is that all, sir, miss?"
I smiled again and nodded.
"Yes, please prepare the best for this lady, okay."
The young waiter was going out after taking our order.
"Why'd you look so nervous, Mrs. Claire?"
"I'm not."
"I'm not going to eat you. Just be your self, okay. "
I nodded again.After a few minutes, the same waiter comes with a push table. On the table, I can see two cups of coffee and two plates of dishes. The first one is a pancake with ice cream coffee on it. The other dish is a waffle with rounded chocolate chips. I recognise that dish. It's really their signature dish. If you cut the chocolate into half,it will melted and you have to eat the waffle that instant otherwise the chocolate will taste bitter.
I thanks the young waiter and he walked out after finish served my and Mr.Klain food.
" Please dig in, Miss Claire. Hope you like my signature dishes. "
"Mr. Klain,what's about you?"
"I don't eat breakfast. I just have my coffee."
"Okay."
I slowly cut the fluffy pancake and moan softly because it tastes so good, almost like Kristen's mother pancake. The difference is that it's served with coffee ice cream. I had never had coffee ice cream before. I like coffee so much that I need to have this again in the future.
"So..it tastes so good, right?"
"You bet."
I cut it again and put a little too much of the ice cream coffee.I didn't realise that I had a stain at the corner of my lips. I wanted to cut the pancake again, but Mr. Klain stopped me. He's holding a blue handkerchief and suddenly wipes my lips with it. I felt shocked and stopped eating my pancake. I felt nervous and started playing with my corner dress after putting down my fork and knife on my plate.
" I'm sorry, Miss Claire. I didn't mean to disturb you with your breakfast. Please enjoy it."
I feel ashamed because I'm so clumsy and didn't eat properly and made a mess. "Please, Miss Claire, continue eating your meal."
I just smile.
"Mr.Klain, I am already full. You can have this. "
I said softly and gently pushed the yummy-looking waffle with rounded chocolate on it. I glazed on it and wanted to eat it but I feel ashamed after that little accident few seconds ago.
"I don't like chocolate, Mrs. Claire. Never taste it because of the bitter taste it has. But it is such a waste if you didn't taste my restaurant's signature dish that many celebrities come back here just to have this."
"But... I.."
"Never mind, then, if you're already full. Don't force yourself. "
I feel guilty because I really wanted to taste it. I acted shamefully and pulled the dishes to my side and cut the rounded chocolate. The creamy chocolate melted into the waffle, and I cut the small pieces of the waffle and brought them near his mouth. I want him to eat the sweet and creamy taste of the melted chocolate with the waffle.He has to taste his own signature dishes right.
"I don't know."
When he speaks, I shove the dishes into his mouth.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Klain, but you have to taste it with me."
I can see he looks annoyed with my actions. But he still eats that waffle without spilling it out or throwing it away. When he done,I cut a few pieces of the waffle and feed him.
He looked at me with a question look, but he still opened his mouth. After he eats almost half the waffle, I stop feeding him and finish the half. The waffle tasted so good because the waffle already absorbed the creamy chocolate. No wonder, this is his restaurant's signature dish.
" I'm sorry again, Mr. Klain, because I forced you to eat with me.
" It's okay, Miss Claire," he smiled at me.
"Thank you, Mr. Klain, for the tasty breakfast."
He just smiled and drank his coffee again. He didn't say a word. I feel uneasy now. He just drank his coffee slowly and looked at me. I drank mine too, but was afraid to look directly into his eyes.
~ MR.KELVIN KLAIN POV~
I thought she was going to dress like a hippie girl or just wear some kind of sexy, alluring dress so she could seduce me. So, she can make me notice her. But my prediction is far from reality. She is wearing a beautiful red dress that shows off her lovely curves. I know she didn't have big breasts like Kristen, but it looked cute. Did I say cute? Okay, it's not too small, but it's not too big either. It was an average size for her age. I was speechless when she put on simple makeup and looked so beautiful.
I greet her and compliment her too. But she didn't look surprised and acted naturally with my words. She smells so good too. I had never looked at her details before. When I met her, I just focused on Kristen and admired her beauty. I had seen or glanced at Hazel sometimes, but she didn't look so detailed like now when only the two of us are left. I did notice something. When she feels nervous, she'll play with the corner of her dress and keep tangling and untangling it.
I liked it when she didn't make any stupid comments or ask random questions. I wanted to know what it felt like to hold her and get closer to her.
Yes, my heartbeats were becoming faster while I was holding and keeping her hand around my arms.I like Kristen. She can make me smile anytime I see or get close to her. But my heart didn't beat as fast as it does now.
I never knew I could feel nervous around some girls like Hazel now. I'm the boss of my company and have met many kinds of people. And not to mention many women and girls in these few years of my glory. At the age of 28, I had a long and countless girlfriend list. changed to another, like some kind of clothes, and never stayed with the same girl for a long time. Even when I chased after Kristen, I had two girlfriends because they could have my money and were willing to share for the sake of money too. For me, I need them for my needs and pleasure.
But now this short little girl can make me nervous just like that. Make it worse when she moans while eating her breakfast. I can still hear her moans, even though she didn't moan loudly.
I looked at her while she was enjoying her breakfast. I acted spontaneously by taking my handkerchief and wiping the stain on the corner of her lips. I had a feeling I wanted to kiss her pink thin lip, but I controlled myself.
She stopped eating the pancake, but I wanted her to taste the waffle too. I've never liked the bitter-sweet taste of chocolate before. But she does things that I have never experienced before. Yes, girls and women always throw themselves at me. But no one's ever fed me like she does now. I feel annoyed first, but then I just feel nervous. Why did she have to be nice to me? I had bad intentions towards her. I'm going to use her to get her best friend, Kristen, from me. But now, I don't have the guts to tell her that. I just stared at her and drank my coffee while thinking about what I was going to do now. I will not let her see my bad side. Why do I feel afraid she'll hate me?
I've never been afraid of what people think about me before.
NEVER.
But now, I'm afraid she'll hate me because I'm going to use her to get Kristen's.
HOW COME?
