*ring ring *
' Who is calling me at 2 in the f*cking morning ' I groan as I reach for my phone I place it to my ear as I answer it
"Hello" I say half awake half asleep
"Hello " A man says that voice sounds so familiar but I just can't put my finger on who it might be
"Did you like my gift" The man says
'Gift what gift ' I can't help but wonder
"I don't know what you are talking about but what I do know is that you have some nerve to call me at this ungodly hour what the FCK is wrong with you " I complain almost in tears I love my sleep OK
"Pardon my rudeness I forgot that you humans sleep at night anyways did you like the necklace" the man says OK until a moment ago he was really starting to get on my nerves but now I know who I'm talking to 'shit did I really whine to my crush omg I'm soooo embarrassed '
"Hehehe Mr Dracula what a pleasant surprise" I say nervously chuckling
"Really it didn't seem so a while ago " Vlad says teasingly
' oh just bury me ' I think burying my face into my pillow
"I'm sorry I get a bit cranky when my sleep is disturbed" I admit honestly
"I understand and I'd like to offer my apologies but you didn't answer my question" Vlad says in his all so delicious voice
" its ok and I did like it I mean who wouldn't but why did you give it to me its super expensive " I ask naively and a bit suspiciously
" its not expensive and I have no ill intentions towards you , but I must ask are you free tomorrow " Vlad says Cooley
' is he asking me out omg what should I say I have work tomorrow but he's super hot work , hot guy ,work , hot guy ,work , hmm the rational choice here is quite obvious'
"No I'm free why ?" I say almost to quickly
"I'll pick you up at 7am" Vlad says simply
"I'll be ready " I say dazedly
"See you then " Vlad says
"Wait by the way what's your first name if I may ask " I ask
"Vlad" he says and hangs up the phone
'Vlad Dracula not bad I feel like I'm living a dark romance novel.... wait I agreed to go out with a man I've barely know for a week damn what if he's a serial killer or a human trafficker .... oh who am I kidding I'd still go out with him even if he was the devil he is that good looking ' I giggle at my thoughts I soon drift into a dreamless yet peaceful sleep I wake up so fresh and full of energy showing me that I'm totally crushing hard on this man
' ah what a nice morning its 6:50 and I....'
"....."me
"6:50!!!!" I say shocked he'll be here at 7 I have 10 minutes to get ready what the hell am I going to wear oh god oh god
"Lenny!!!!!!" I yell out my lungs literally screaming so loud if my neighbour's didn't hear me I'd be shocked. soon I hear running footsteps and Lenny barges into my room still in her PJs holding a lamp
"What , who's there is it a thief " Lenora says looking left and right I couldn't help but laugh
"I'm so sorry ...I'm OK " I says while laughing
"The hell then why'd you scream " she says annoyed while relaxing a bit
"Yes back to business I have a date in less than 10 minutes I have absolutely nothing to wear " I say anxiously
"I got you but next time don't scream like you are in a life or death situation OK " Lenora says giving me a stink eye and I smile and nod
"OK this is why we bought those clothes last Christmas" Lenora says as she enters my closet and comes out with an expensive off shoulder royal blue flared short dress
"That's the one " I say as I grab it and dash straight for the bathroom
'This girl , I wonder whom this guy might be ' Lenora thinks as she chuckles and decides to wait on Chikondi's bed .
I come out and find Lenora sitting on my bed while texting lazily
" tell me the details when you get back I've already told the boss you won't be coming in today he said its fine " Lenora says while texting
"Omg thanks best I owe you one and I'll definitely tell you the details promise" I say as I smile brightly
*Dingdong *
"He's here " I say nervously
'what if what I'm wearing won't match the theme of the place where he is taking me I should at least have asked what I should wear ' I think distressed
"You look fine just go .... I'd go and meet this mystery guy but your bed feels a bit too comfy and I'm gonna continue the sleep you so rudely disturbed" Lenora says as she covers herself with my blanket
"OK bye " I says as I rush to the door I stop at the door and I catch my breath
'OK you can do this deep breaths ' I think as I open the door only for my mouth to drop at the sight I see..... there he is in all his glory in a white polo shirt and white shorts why does he look so good
"Hello " I say nervously but still smiling
" Hello you look lovely today " Vlad says spotting a charming smile
'oh big G why did you create such a sinfully beautiful man ' I can't help think
"Thank you so do you " I say blushing
"Thank you .... shall we " Vlad says holding out his hand
"We shall " I say as I put my hand in his , surprisingly his hand fits perfectly with mine like a glove .
We walk hand in hand till we get to his Mercedes and a chauffeur opens the door for us
'He has a freaking chauffer is he royalty or super rich ' I wonder
"So why do you fancy me " I blurt out I've been wondering about this , he turns to look at me I mean literally straight into my freaking eyes the eye contact is killing me .
"You intrigue me " He says all so seriously
"I intrigue you ?" I ask confused .
' why does he have to give such vague answers ' I internally groan
"Yes . don't think about it too much " he says as he looks at me in such a way that makes me blush
'Gosh the sinful thoughts entering my mind right now , Chikondi get a grip ' I chastise myself
"Where are we going " I say as I look out the window
"Golf course , I thought you'd like it " he says simply
"I'd love that I've always wanted to go golfing I just never had the time but tell me this how did you know I liked it " I say as I look back at him now we have that eye contact again
" I stalked your social media accounts and found the post where you said ' I wish I could go golfing why is life so cruel ' so here we are " he says shocking me 'first of all hot and weird but still hot and very weird ' I think
"My my my stalking is a crime a bit if a vigilante you are " I say teasingly
*chuckles* " I know but you are an interesting person I couldn't help myself " he says teasing me back
'He plays my game and crushes me ' I think
"Playing the victim are we " I continue what game we seem to be playing
"A very tormented victim " he says acting like his heart aches
"How so " I say smirking
" You're stunning and I'm addicted " he says catching me off guard by his seriously he says it
'Damn this isn't fair how he can he be good looking and have a way with words ' I groan internally or so I think
"I could play fair if you'd like " he says teasingly
"Did I voice out my thoughts" I wonder
"Yes " he says as he smirks
"Uh uh uh I meant that um yeah something else so forget what you heard " I say nervously.
'Stupid stupid how could you blurt that out ' I mentally scold myself
"If you say so " he says as he looks at me
"We've arrived your Highness" the chauffer says as he parks the car Vlad gets out and opens the door for me
"Such a gentleman" I say as I take his hand and get down from the car
'I knew he was royalty' I think triumphantly
' wait Highness a gentle what oh Gosh I'm hearing things ' the chauffer thinks with a straight face
" Only for you " He says as he leads us into this omg its huge no its spectacular its giving me dollar dollar bills but heck how much money does he have that he affords to come to this club
"Welcome your Highness how long will you be staying today " the Receptionist says I can't help notice how she is looking at my date I hate it
" as long as my date would like to stay " Vlad says and only then does the receptionist acknowledge my presence I internally scowl
'What a pretentious little b*tch ' I internally scowl
"Oh hello miss " she says with a smile so fake that barbie seems real compared to her
"Hello " I say shortly and coldly Vlad stares at me like I said or did something amusing
"OK you can go in have a nice day" the receptionist says handing Vlad his card back
"We will " I say smiling but giving the receptionist a look that says 'this one is mine back off or I'll make you regret it try me if you dare'
"Shall we " Vlad says ending my session of glares at the receptionist I look back at him I smile sweetly dimples and all
"We shall " I say and we head to a room where we find many rich socialists all eyes are on us as we enter
"His highness is with a woman I thought he was gay " a woman whispers
"Oh god I'm so jealous of her but she's quite pretty I can't tell if she's American or African seeing she is brown skinned " another says
"Does that matter what's crazy is how the prince is treating her, look the ever so cold Prince is in a good mood it even sounds wrong saying it " another woman says and so do many others
'I never knew that rich women could gossip so much ' I amuse
" your Highness what a pleasant surprise " A man in a black suit comes and bows at Vlad I look at him and whisper barely audible Words
"That reminds me you didn't inform me that you're a Prince " I say
" Did I forget to inform you , my apologies "he says ever so sweetly this man is teasing me and why the eye contact I thank God for my dark complexion that's hiding my blush .
'Has the prince gone insane why is he smiling and did he forget my presence what's happening' the man thinks
" oh What a lovely lady I wonder whom this might be your Highness " The man says only then does Vlad look at him
"Chikondi this is the northern Duke , duke Oscar Ridges" Vlad says
"Nice to meet your acquaintance duke Ridges " I say smiling offering a small nod of acknowledgement
'is this how you even greet a duke all those movies and yet I couldn't learn this... I offend myself ' I think and smile at the end of my thoughts
"Trust me the pleasure is all mine " Duke Ridges says as he bows before me leaving me dumbfounded.
I look up at Vlad and like he read my mind he says
"You're my woman all those below me are required to show you some respect " Vlad says not quietly the mummers that quietened down a while ago began to resurface
'His woman oh my ...' I think a bit embarrassed
In a few minutes more socialists approach us and can I say having people bow down to me is so ego boosting
"Let's go " Vlad says in my ear
*hiccup* ' why'd he have to do that his hot breath on my hear oh my hormones are in over drive ' I think
"Where" I say breathlessly
"I need to feed you " He says
"Feed me " I say confused
"Breakfast you haven't eaten anything" He says
'How is he so sweet ' I think and can't help but pinch his cheek .
"You are sooo cute " I say and soon I hear a tray fall and gasps, I look around and everyone is starring at us
"Why are they gasping " I ask Vlad confused
"No reason they are just a bit stupid don't mind them let's go you need to eat " Vlad says as he takes my hand and leads me upstairs
"Did she just pinch his cheeks " a lady asks
"Uh huh " the second lady says
"And did he let her " the first lady says
"Yes " the second lady says
"And did he call us stupid " another lady says a bit offended
" we all saw that right " the first lady says
"Definitely" the second lady says
And soon the scene that happened goes viral in the high society
Meanwhile .....
"Here try this its your favourite vanilla flavoured muffin " Vlad says as he serves me
The servants tried to serve me and he told them to back off or get fired yes he did that
"Thanks by the way why did you say I'm yours when you didn't even ask me out " I say as I take a muffin
" Cause you are " He says as he serves me some juice
"But I never agreed to that " I say pointing at him
"Then what would I have to do to get your approval " Vlad says smirking
"Have you ever begged " I ask him and he raises a brow
"I'm a Prince I don't beg people do everything for me before I even ask , why ?" Vlad says a bit cockily
"In the story Cinderella lost her glass slipper and the prince found it and put it on her leg , I want you to put on my heels and Beg me to be your girlfriend on one knee " I say jokingly while removing my feet from my heels and wiggling them but to my surprise he gets on one knee and puts on my heels and looks at me I literally almost choke on the muffin I was eating
'Did his Highness just kneel and touch the lady's feet " the servant thinks at this absurd scene he is seeing knowing his friends won't believe him if he tells them what he saw
-
"Will you be my girlfriend" Vlad says looking straight into my eyes taking away my breath
"I was just joking you didn't actually have to do that now I feel embarrassed" I can't help saying
"I know but I'm showing you that I'd do anything for you " He says seriously
"I'll be your girlfriend but if you give me red flags I'm leaving you Prince or not " I say seriously and he gets up and takes his seat the servant brings water for the prince to wash his hands
" then I must behave to keel you " he says as he dries his hands on a towel
'The servants here are quite efficient I wonder how much they get paid probably more than me ' I can't help think .
"Why aren't you eating , here try this its really good " I say as I hold out a piece of cake towards him .
'Oh no the lady messed up the prince hates sweet things ' the servant thinks waiting to see a bloody scene but what happens shocks him the prince opens his mouth and eats the cake
"Delicious" the prince says as he looks at me
"Looks like my heart is now in a marathon ' i think as my heat beats fast
I try to eat a piece of cake with the same fork I used to feed him but he stops me
"Here let me help " Vlad says as he takes my fork and puts a piece of cake in his mouth and feeds me I take in the cake and as soon as I do so he pulls away and licks his lips
"Delicious isn't it " he says and my dumbstruck self just nods my head as I eat the cake I have no idea what it tasted like but his lips were something I want no I need to have again
' I think I'm addicted ' I think
"Did you just steal my first kiss " I say now coming to my senses
" cara mia that wasn't a kiss .... this is" Vlad says as he turns my face towards him and kisses me I feel like I should be worried about the fact that things are moving really fast between us but I'm not
' His lips are so soft I can't get enough of them no this has to stop he is undoubtedly all I ever wanted in a man but I can't lose my first time in this way ' I think as the kiss becomes more passionate and his hand starts to go lower
"Mmmh...Vlad ...mmm.....we ....have...to....stop " I say in between our kiss and he stops here I am breathless but there he is looking at me all calm
"What's wrong " he says lazily as he looks at me yes there is no distance between our faces his forehead pressed against mine I feel his breath on my lips
"I've never been intimate with anyone I don't want my first time to be like this " I say honestly
' wait what if I misunderstood the situation what if he was just passionate and not planing on doing anything ' I realise .
"I know don't worry I will make sure you'll never forget your first time but for now we have to settle with this " Vlad says as he kisses me again
' I'm in literally in delightful bliss ' I think
*cough ,cough *
We stop kissing and I look to see the prince I saw at work yesterday
"Brother this is a public place could you take that to the bedroom and stop hurting us single people" the Prince says
"Berzelius what are you doing here " Vlad says annoyed
'Oh I was wrong its prince Berzelius so they are twins ' I think
" well I heard a little Birdie saying that you came with a pretty lady and I just had to see what woman would steal the stone heart of my dear older brother but now I see that this lady not only stole your heart but has actually enchanted it "Prince Berzelius says
' mmmh I heard twins can be polar opposites but these two are so different he seems laid back while prince Beelzebub is aloof ' I think
" get to the point and stop acting like Beelzebub" Vlad says coldly
' or maybe my assessment is wrong he isn't laid back these guys have one thing in common they seem to gave bipolar tenencies ' I think
"There is trouble back in the legion " Prince Berzelius says seriously
"Forget it I'm busy I'll handle it tomorrow " Vlad says dismissing him
"But brother its impor..." The Prince says but is interrupted
"I don't care just handle it till I get back you may leave " Vlad says sharply
'why is this man so attractive when he looks like could kill at any moment this is a red flag but I don't care ' I think
"OK brother , good day sister-in-law " The prince says and leaves
"We only just started dating and your brother is already calling me sister-in-law " I say as I turn to look at Vlad
"As it should be you are my first girlfriend so he must respect you " Vlad says I look at him confused
"I have had many women in my life time but none were my girlfriend or in a relationship with me " Vlad says answering the question I didn't ask
"Seems like his Highness is a bit of a heartbreaker, no ? " I say feeling really happy 'I'm his first girlfriend '
"Maybe what can I say I'm really charming ....since you're done eating shall we go play some golf " He says
"Yes please " I say excitedly then he leads us to an open field golf course
'Damn this is like in the movies like the ones I see in posh movies Chikondi you got yourself a caring guy without even trying uh I'm so lucky' I think
"Good day Your Highness and good day my lady " A servant I'm assuming greets us as soon as we reach the golf course
"Good day" I say sweetly while Vlad just nods his head in acknowledgement
"Sunscreen" Vlad says and the servant hands him a bottle and he turns to me
"Here you might get sunburn " Vlad says as he looks at me right into my eyes
'Is it just me or is it getting hotter yup it must be the sun ' I think
"Thankyou " I say as I smile
"Anytime" he says simply but his voice deepens a bit
*hiccup*
"Oh gosh " I say
'Stupid heart skipping beats , why should you do that stop it we are not going to fall in love OK ' I internally pout .
"Cute ....Shall we play " Vlad says
'Cute I mean I know but um its um different coming from him ' I think
"Yes , but small issue well I can't play I've never played golf before " I say hesitantly looking down like the grass is the most interesting thing in this world
'I must say this is some healthy grass like what do they spray them sheesh oh I'm not actually supposed to be admiring the grass why am I zoning out ' I think
"I don't mind I'd love to teach you " he says smiling
'I envy how unaffected his demeanor is like here i am having butterflies no scratch that the whole forest yes going wild in my stomach at a simple , I'd love to teach you , get a hold of yourself ' I mentally chastise myself
"I'd love that too" I manage to reply even though I'm feeling all giddy and shit while he gives the servant a look and like they have telepathic communication the servant comes back with golf clubs and hands Vlad a pure silver golf club I honestly can't help admiring it, its giving stainless pure silver
"Come" He says as he motions me to where he is I walk to him and he hands me the golf club and he goes behind me and puts his hands over mine I can literally feel his breath tickling my ears making me swallow hard
' dear heart please stop running a Marathon I might actually perish from how fast you're beating but damn he has nice hands and he smells so good like Spring and fresh wood so musky yet charming wait what I shouldn't be thinking of this shoot 'I think as I come back to reality
"OK are you comfortable shall we start " he says his voice passing through my ears like a hypnotic melody
"Yes I'm OK " I say hoping I sounded normal cause for some unknown reason I'm running out of breath hello what is this
"OK so you should have a distance between your legs like this " he says as he freaking bends down and parts my legs and guides me to stand properly
'Distance between my legs OK I know I have a dirty mind but come on that that was just hmmmm 'I internally say
"Then bend a little yes like that " he says as he leans with me
'This position is screaming no space like no space at all' I can't help think
"OK so make sure you hold the club firmly and swing it like this.." Vlad says as he make me swing the club and I intensely watch the ball as it rolls straight into the whole
"It went in !!!" I say excitedly as I hug Vlad tightly and he kinda lifts me a bit as he hugs me back oh now I'm being spun around
'I think I'm liking this too much' I think happily laughing
He stops and puts me down
"You did great " he says as he caresses my check making my eyes go wide I turn around and pat my chest
"Stop beating so fast " I say in a low voice but I think it wasn't low enough cause next I hear a chuckle
' I know its my Heaven sent romeo oh wait my boyfriend' I internally giggle
"Uh um I don't think I'm that good yet " I say as I turn to face him
"Why not let me teach you a little more " he says even though I'm not looking at him I can tell he's looking at me
"I mean if you insist " I say as I hand him the golf club and he takes it
"Come here" he says and I go to him after a few lessons even though I didn't actually need them we decided that we've played long enough and I was really hungry so we went to have lunch
"Do you like it or would you prefer something less spicy " Vlad asks me attentively
"No its very good its just a bit spicy and making my eyes watery but I absolutely love it " I say as I eat some more
'Mmh I'm in food heaven ' I sigh in bliss
"Mmmh , enjoy " he says as he leans in his sit and watches me eat .
'At this moment I don't care if he watches me I'm just smitten with my food 'my foodie self thinks
"Wait you hardly ate don't you like spicy food " I say after I Look at his plate
"Not really , I just don't eat a lot I have a small appetite" he says and I nod in understanding then I try the dessert cake
"Mmm this is good here try it you'll love it 100%" I say as I hold the spoon of cake to his mouth and he eats it while looking at me
'Come on give my heart a break its not fair ' I think as my heart losses it
"I've had this before but it taste's so good now that you've fed me the cake , interesting" Vlad says more to himself but I heard him
" I'm speechless " I say smiling
"Someday you won't be speechless like today instead you'll be more comfortable to be yourself trust me no one will judge you if they dare to just utter your name in disrespect they will be die " he says simply with an intensity that let's me know he's not joking
"Murder " I say dumbfounded and a bit scared
