Believe me now!

Chapter 12 Sera is starving.

"Please Blazy. Please take me now!" Seraphina was begging him. Blaze yawned and said,"Not a chance in hell." Sera was desperate now. "Most husbands would honor their wife, remember, you must obey me now."

Blaze kicked off his shoes and stretched out his long legs. He snapped his computer shut and set it aside. He was trying not to think about her at all. He threw himself into his investigation. He was doing research for his trip to Rio, laying on her bed . She batted her long eyelashes at him and pouted. He shook his head, no. She moved closer to him and she got on her knees on the bed. She took his hands and tried to pull him up off of the bed. He fell forward. He laughed at her now. She stomped her foot and put her hand on her hip. He shook his head slowly. She turned around and picked up her bag, dumping it onto his bed with the rest of her clothes that she had already strewn everywhere. She fished out three dollars. She held it in front of him. "Fine, if you won't take me back to that buffet, I will eat crap from the vending machine. She left out of the hotel door in her barefeet, the door slammed behind her. She came back a few minutes later knocking on the door, she was locked out. She threw a bag of candy on the bed. Can you believe three dollars for a lousy bag of candy. He opened the bag and ate a few pieces. She frowned and rubbed her flat stomach. " So hungry!" He got up and put her on his lap. She stopped complaining. He brushed her hair out of her face and twisted her gold band around her finger. She was mesmerized by him. He kissed her chin, then her bottom lip. He rubbed her arms and wrapped his arms around her waist, nuzzling her neck with his head. She slowly blinked, her long eyelashes moving slowly down until her eyes were closed. He licked his lips and told her to go take a hot bath and he would get ready to go. "But, no buffet! " She reddened remembering her last hot bath at his tiny house. He saw her blush and said, "Save it all for me, soon my little wifey." He wanted to give her time to get to know him. He promised her father that he would take care of her. He would protect her with his life. He moved her off of his lap and fixed his pants. He smacked her behind as she walked by. "Ouch that hurt more than your zipper, poking me." He ran his hand through his hair, he made a step towards her smart mouth, she jumped forward and locked herself in the bathroom, smiling at him as she went. Blaze gripped the blanket and took a few deep breath. Sera was aware of the chemistry that the two of them shared. She liked to watch his eyes get big as she flirted with him. He never said that the marriage was real. He wanted to keep her with him in Brazil, they had to be married for her to go with him. She was wondering when he would decide to make her his real life wife. She was so ready for it. For now, she would bide her time and string him along. She wanted him to make the first move. She didn't know how long she could hold out. She took a quick shower as her stomach growled. She could eat a horse, she thought. Blaze called Sadie's and made a reservation. The restaurant was a local favorite. It was fairly pricey but she was worth it. He asked for a private table. He wanted her all to himself. She came out in her towel. He pretended he was reading. He peeked at her pink skin as she leaned over him to get her clothes from his bed. Her towel slipped down, showing the cleavage of her buttocks. He turned to her and threw a shirt at her. "Here, just put something on, please. Do us both a favor. I'm starving here ." Sera put a small black tube dress on. She didn't wear any panties, she couldn't find any clean ones. She strapped on her red heels and fixed her hair in a bun. It was still damp. She left her contacts out, to rest her eyeballs and put on her glasses. Blaze grabbed a suit jacket and a tie. He scrubbed dirt off of his shiney dress shoes. He sprayed his cologne and shaved his facial hair off. Now you could see all of the sharp angles of his face. He cleaned up nicely. Seraphina gasped when he came out of the bathroom. She muttered under her breath, "Maybe we should order in." Blaze grabbed her black purse with the silver chain strap and handed it to her. She smiled. "Very nice! I remember seeing you in your 7th grade home coming suit. You had slicked your hair back and wore a pair of suspenders. It was a huge fashion trend after that." He smiled, "The pants that I wore were too big in the waist and kept falling down, I almost lost them when I danced with Karen Chandler. My friend gave me the suspenders to borrow, he was a great friend." She seethed, "Oh Karen Chandler, I was so jealous of her for that dance." He nodded. "Well I only got to first base, she was a little too drunk for me to continue. She threw up on my shoes." Sera laughed out loud. She patted his hand. " We had some good times. If only you had asked me to dance, I wasn't drunk at all." She swished past him, and walked out the door. He smelled her perfume and touched her hip as she moved by him. He shook his head. He wanted to ask her but he was scared to death. He thought she was way out of his league. He spent the next few years after college trying to catch up to her.
