The long-awaited sunset came, and the warmth of the day was escaping slowly, letting in a chilly evening, perfect for her night's plan. To her the day dragged itself, Sarah Parker was yearning for that evening outing, She was not interested in James, she just needed a glimpse of what it entailed and get back to her normal self, that way his father would be contented that she had followed his will. No matter how much James tried to play cool Sarah was aware that his Father was involved in all these arrangements and his wish was for her to fall for James, disappointedly he had wounds he was nursing. And Sarah thought he probably needed this night escapade more than she would ever need it. So she was doing it for her but mostly for him. At exactly 6 pm James called. " Hello, beautiful? Are you ready to rock and roll?". " Hello, I almost gave up, I thought you forgot, I will be right outside!" Excitedly she rose from her chair, took her bag, and checked herself in the mirror," Amazingly gorgeous," she appreciated herself. Her fine Lacey dress with frills, meaning it was loose except for her bodice, the cleavage was low enough to show out her big bust. Satisfied with her mild makeup she wore her 3-inch stilettos and stepped out. James was parked right outside, he saw her coming and he could not believe the transformation, this lady walking towards him and the girl she was with last night are two different people. The transformation was visible. " Where did she hide those features last night? I bet when I looked at her I never saw anything special from her, she was just an ordinary girl who seems to have neglected herself according to her age but the Angel that is approaching me now is beautiful, gorgeous, smart with big eyes and the full round lips, I wonder why she says that men never noticed her!" James was perplexed, He was still staring when she arrived. " You look like you have seen a ghost?" Sarah Parker startled him. " Damn it! I have seen an angel!" He remarked, Sarah turned to glance at her back, she thought someone else was there but there was nobody and she wondered who he was referring to as an angel. "where is your drive? we ain't walking now are we?" Sarah asked when he noticed he was not moving and James was staring with his eyes furrowed at her as he licked his lips. " Sorry for my bad manners, I was fantasizing about something, that's our ride!" He pointed at a red Chevrolet Silverado packed with all its doors open. "wow, I like it, why leave the doors open ?" Sarah asked, scampering towards it and getting inside. " I thought I used lots of fresheners, I remembered strong scents affect you, so am airing it !" He followed and got into the sterling wheel. " It's not that strong I can handle it," She sniffed around closing her door. " Is this your car I have something in my soul for Chevrolet, you made a good choice with this kind of machine girls will be all over you believe me!" Sarah commended, she wondered what she knew about girls, she has never bothered to indulge in real life, all she knows she learned from watching movies and YouTube videos. " I hired it specifically for us tonight!" He said with a very soft voice, and She turned to stare at him," Is he trying to be romantic with me?" James recalled how Saul had called last night, he informed him that today was a success, he was told how she loved Chevelorets, so her father was to choose the car and deliver it to James before their dinner date evening commenced. Togony was a large and populous village that slowly amounted into a town, Making it a town inside a village, there was nothing that lacked from five-star hotels to pubs and motels on the road, James had chosen, The next-door Hotel to be their destination. " You drive into rounds just to stop at the " The Next Door" I had no interest in coming here," Sarah said as they drove through the gate to enter into a beautiful environment, tres, d shrubs with their flowers, so colorful ranging from white to red, clean tiled pavements that seemed to lead to different departments. The car stopped and a Valet opened the door for her, welcoming her to the premises with open hands, James gave him his keys and he took the Chevelorets for parking. He stood and waited, putting his arms ready for her to lock in so they could walk together as lovers, But she was not paying attention, she was drawn to different flowers and how they swayed as the wind blew them. His heart was pounding, he had started building a connection with Sarah but she seemed not to notice it," Maybe the boys wanted her but she never read the signs well!' James thought he had said it inwardly only for Sarah to turn back and sneer at him. ' Are you still talking about your girlfriend or someone else to me you seem disturbed how about you relax and let us enjoy this!" Sarah snapped, throwing him that charming smile. " No, am talking about you?" He said indifferently, his voice flat void of any emotions. They got to the table, and She could not help but look around as James pulled up the chair for her to sit down. " Tremendous!, see what admission, good life at its best!" Sarah observed as people buzzed around frantically, some were coming in for supper, others walking towards the bar at the far end, others had no other business in there and it was time to go. " But your father can afford it unless you showed any interest as usual," James chimed in brutally. " Before we order, you are very beautiful tonight, I wouldn't mind pretending you are mine, even if it's just for this night!" James pointed out boldly, staring at her face. " For a night I can do, but after that we are strangers, " Sarah chose her words carefully, this was a man in pain, no need of adding him more pain. " Thank you !" He stretched his hands grabbing her palm, he bent forward and planted a kiss on it. " What was that for? I thought sitting together on this table was enough pretense, don't get romantic with me, you need to heal first!" Sarah instructed her eyes overwhelmed by sadness, she tried to think of what his plans were. Had he thought it out? Will he keep boundaries and respect their friendship, He was staring at him with his slanting sleepy eyes like he could have grabbed her and fed on her. and she regretted wearing a dress with such cleavage, probably it was sending the wrong signals to him. " Come on Sarah, that's an innocent move, don't be scared, look around you, serene music playing in the background, rich people around us, the room temperature is fine no funny smells in the air, the ambiance, I feel like sleeping !'' James said, closing his eyes partially and the waiter came in to greet them, and he took their order. " And the cleanliness you can eat on the floor!" Sarah added. " Tell me more about you?" James raised his eyes on her. " What exactly do you want to know, that I am an introvert and any time I can walk out of that door if I feel uncomfortable?" Sarah stared back. " God almighty,! We are here to stay, meet new people and make friends if you want to at least do this once without having to complicate issues,!" James raised his hands and stayed with her. " so far I am liking it you do not worry that I'll have to complicate issues I can see my father has fed you a little of my negativities when it comes to the character but you're young and maybe you could reason with me more than my Father, do you think staying home and not indulging in the social life is a mistake?" Sarah asked as she sighed and rolled up her eyes. " People have chosen to leave their life in different ways, we have people who cannot stand living in towns they live in the forest and no matter how much light you try to shed to them of the advantages or disadvantages of getting themselves a decent life in a town, they will never quit because that is what they believe in and it is what they have chosen for themselves, so to me your choice of being indoors is yours, I know when the time comes and you feel like you're missing something you will know where to go and find it!" James lectured her lengthy. " My father is just worried that I'll be like my mother who refuted herself everything and relinquished in spiritual concerns and him being old in ways and years thinks I will follow suit, though everywhere people love him for his benevolence of his heart and his agreeable nature his knacks will constantly suggest him at any juncture that's not me!" Sarah shook her head. " I know he is the outgoing type and you are the alone type but at this moment speaking the truth you don't look alone you look happy your eyes are shining!" James flinched slightly when her face got pale. " I bet you have been seeing different things since I came out of my office tell me what your mind is telling you," Sarah spoke in a sweet alluring voice "My mind says that tonight I will have to kiss you not on your palms but on those beautiful round full lips, they are so inviting but before you take it personally it won't be for anything I just need to be the one who teaches you so that when you get a real man who loves you, you will know how to do it!" James bit on his lower lip and winked at her. " I am so disappointed to inform you that I have already smooched, it's something I have been yearning for since I was a young girl and to be sincere it was very sweet I can't imagine kissing anyone else!" Sarah spoke abruptly and regretted letting those words out. " Then you are not that naive then, I thought everything to you is new like you have never kissed a boy, never been held in a tight hug. You're probably still a virgin and I was ready to teach you a few tricks! you know in this century you can't be naive when it comes to love matters because you will end up like me with a broken heart and sleepless nights!" He stared coldly full of malice. He felt a dark cloud of heaviness clinging above him, he had thought of trying to make her more than a friend and she only proved to be a professional in disguise. " I am not falling in love I'm just exercising what I have longed for, if you could say I am fulfilling my wants," Sarah giggled, " Virginity, I can't talk about that !'' She pushed her empty plate aside and was not ashamed to ask for another plate of the same grilled chicken and fries. " Are you sure you need another plate!" James asked with a devilish smirk on his face," I believe you are not here to impress anyone but to fulfill your wants, girls are always shy eating and you here asking for a second plate?!". " Is that why the waiter is giving me that sympathetic look, "Sarah sneered and plastered a smile at the waiter who was still staring at her as he awaited her order, to her that was nothing. " Probably!". " It's a crowd of strangers and I came here to enjoy and have fun and to make this day memorable I have to do silly things!" She giggled at a high pitch. " how do you do it?" " Do what?" " Not caring about what people may think about you, like now you're ain't even ashamed a little for asking for another large plate of half a chicken and fries? don't you care about being judged?" James scanned the environment, everyone was minding their manners as they ate silently and conversed in low tones! " I thought you said people choose how they want to live, I choose my life not to care what other people think about me, I am in this world to fulfill my destiny if I find love well and good but I will never sit back and worry as long as I am not harming or hurting anyone I can't deny myself happiness!" Sarah's eyes looked intently at him. " What about your dignity and self-respect there are some behaviors that befit a lady!" James asked confused. " Hahaha, old wives legends, about ladies behaving in a certain way, be good or bad you will still be judged, let me feed my body I came for it, I was starving, and I did not even eat breakfast!" Sarah eyed him curiously. That money you are flaunting belongs to me, I stay in the office as my father stays at home pretending to work from there, so let me use it Sarah Parker looked up and, locked eyes with a guest who was entering the hotel, her heart stopped a beat, he whole body shuddered, and she could not even swallow the chicken meat in her mouth. He smiled at her and headed to the far end. James turned around and saw an old broad-shouldered man going to the bar, he returned his gaze to Sarah, she was still admiring, shaking, lost, and wordless. " Have you seen a ghost?" He stood up and shook her vigorously back to reality.
