THE HONOURABLE MAN

Episode 9

Macbeth’s place is a small and cozy restaurant perfect for first dates. The tables are spaced far apart for privacy. There are comfortable leather lounge chairs and granite square tables decorated with tree light candle holders with burning lit candles. It looks a bit dark inside providing a romantic atmosphere. Although Kiana is still a teenager she is still a woman and every woman appreciates a beautiful romantic place.

“This place is amazing, there is fresh air and soft beautiful music and I bet their meals are tasty and finger licking,” she is impressed by the place. “I’m glad you like it.” Their eyes meet, he smiles at her and she smiles back then they both start blushing until one of them looks away.

For a brief moment neither of them know what to say but fortunately for them the waiter comes to their rescue as he walks up to them to take their orders. Kiana orders chicken nuggets, a French salad as well as a soda.

Bryce is feeling famished as he had mentioned earlier thence he orders BBQ ribs, herbed potato salad, egg dish and red wine.

“Wow you really are hungry, no kidding” she couldn’t help commenting. “What can I say I am a man I have to feed this body to maintain these muscles,” at the mention of the word muscles her eyes dart as they begin to scan his body and they soon confirm that indeed he does have a muscular body, his strong arms and hard chest are showing through his shirt, it beats her why she hadn’t noticed how brawny this man is.

“Do you have a boyfriend?” he dares to ask as he cuts his meat and throws a chunk into his mouth. “Do you have a girlfriend?” again she throws the question back at him.

“What do you think? Do you think I would have gone through all the trouble of searching for you high and low if I did?” “Yeah, it’s no secret that most men have multiple girlfriends,” she replies. “Well I’m not that kind of a man sweetheart in fact I am a one woman man who only seeks to love his woman in multiple ways.”

His response makes the hair on the back of her neck stand up, she pauses chewing her food as she almost chokes on it. “You do realize you still haven’t answered me, is it a yes or no?” She wants to hear him say it directly.

“No Kiana I don’t have a girlfriend but,” “But what?” “I’m hoping I will have one soon, your turn now, do you have a boyfriend Miss Kiana Ray?” He asks although he is afraid she might say yes, surely a fine young girl like her would have dozens of boys from varsity chasing her.

“What do you think, do you think I would be here if I had a boyfriend?” “Uh yes, some girls date multiple men for different benefits,” “Well I assure you I am not that kind of a girl and no I don’t have a boyfriend I also don’t plan on having one at least not until I complete my course. Boys are a major distraction and serious heart breakers.”

“True and I would advise you to stay away from boys,” he agrees.

She is disappointed by his response, did that mean she had made him think she is not interested in dating anyone and he was giving up? She needs him to know she is very much interested in him, she was just trying to play hard to get. She is feeling down hearted and she does not want to face Bryce in fear he will notice her disappointment so she gazes down on her food, moving it left and right with her fork. He tilts up her chin so she can look up to face him, he then reaches for her hand and covers it with his, her hand feels so soft and she thinks his feels very warm.

“Look at me,” he orders and she obeys as she stares into his gorgeous ocean blue eyes, she can see how they burn with passion and desire for her. “I did tell you to stay away from boys but don’t forget one important fact here,” “which is what?” “I’m not a boy sweetheart, I’m a man and not just any man but a man whose heart started beating for you from the very moment I first saw you.”

She doesn’t need to hear any further, she is already convinced he is the one she has been saving herself for. She has never been with a man before, all her previous boyfriends were teenagers like herself. The thought of being with a real man excites her, it’s like a whole new adventure. She just didn’t expect that a man of his age would be interested in a girl of her age since most men don’t like to date young girls because they find them immature, clingy and troublesome.

“Bryce,” she utters his name softly. “Yes,” “Let’s get out of here.” Bryce takes out his wallet and leaves a fifty dollar note on the table.

It is already pitch dark outside by the time they walk out to the parking lot, he walks ahead of her to open the door for her like the perfect gentle-man he is. He freezes for a second and he then turns back around without opening the door leaving her to wonder why he isn’t opening the door for her to get in.

He slowly paces closer to her as she watches him she stays frozen not moving or saying a word, he runs his fingers through her soft silky hair before wrapping his arm around her waist pulling her close to him. Bryce can feel her heart beating fast he grabs her neck with his hand to pull her face closer to his so he can easily access her lips. He looks down at them admiring how kissable they look and then he brushes his lips against hers as if to tease her, she is ready for his kiss so she leans in.

His tongue slides into her mouth parting her lips, he starts off slowly and patiently but the tastier it gets the faster he moves to the extent that they have to pause to catch their breath.

She balances her back against the car as he continues to aggressively kiss her and his kisses feel damn good, she has never been kissed like this all her life and she can now feel the difference between a boy and a man. It feels good to be held tightly in strong muscular arms, her hands are locked around his neck while his hands move about exploring her body.

He cups her breasts into his hands and gently squeezes them and moans of pleasure escape his lips as he enjoys the feel of her firm and tender breasts.
