Chapter 5 The night

I wake up when a bright light hits my eyes and I have a huge headache. I can't open my eyes as the Light hurts more than just my eyes.

"turn into off. turn it off it hurts!"

"Sorry about that sunshine" I open my eyes to the Voice and see the man closing the blinds to a huge glass window with a smile.

He then finishes buttoning his shirt and heads for his jacket on the chair. its a new suit he is putting on. I immediately realize I don't recognize this room. It looks like a room one would find in a hotel. I am instantly alarmed and I start studying my surrounding. I'm even more shocked to find myself in only panties. I hug the sheets harder and try hiding myself. My mind is going crazy all over the whole place.

"What did you do to me? Where am? I what happent?" the questions just keep pouring from me. I am trying to remember what happened but my head hurts even worse

"One question at a time. Why don't you take this first" he offers me two pills and a glass of water. I take them from him and take them

"My head hurts" i state the obvious

"Hence the pills. They will help in a little while" he answers and moves to the mirror to look at himself as he fixes himself.

"Maybe don't take more than you can handle next time" he says still fixated on the mirror

"Yeah thanks dad" I answer sarcastically and he laughs while shaking his head

"We......you...... didn't?"

"If I. we. Did. you wouldn't be asking. Your mind and body would do all the talking" he answers one hand on his pocket and the other the other gesturing to me and him. I gulp

"What happent? I think I zoned out" I try changing the subject to end our staring contest

"Do you really want to know?"

"Yes! What do you mean? Of course"

"Go out with me" he asks looking me straight in the eye. The offer comes from nowhere and I'm surprised that I chuckle a little

"Go on a date with me" he repeats and his voice and looks and suggests he's very serious

"I don't even know your name. Who are you?"

"say yes and find out"

"I think I will stay away from more trouble and politely decline"

"Fine then. I think my role as a gentleman here is done, I will be on my way" he starts going to the door and I stop him

"Wait" he stops and turns his back looking at me in the bed holding on to the sheets

"My phone, my purse or All my credentials where in there"

"Okay"

"Okay? What do you mean by okay?"

"It got stolen by that hunk were all over at the bar. You do remember that don't you?" he asks with an evil smile.

" if I don't find my phone and keys how else are you going to go on a date with me? You don't even know my name."

He is quiet for a while pondering through what I just said when he says "okay why don't you stay here. I have a meeting in about an hour. When I am done I'll go to the bar and locate your purse."

"What?"

"Don't over think it.I'll pay for the room and clear the bill when I return. you can order anything you want"

"I think if I agree I will owe you a lot more"

"Why don't you pay me back by going out with me to that dinner? its all I'm asking for here anyways"

"Is a date with me worth that much?"

"And much more than you can imagine"

"How do you know I don't have an important meeting to go to myself?"

"Let's just say Brianna you were very open last night. It took everything I had not to fill it." I giggle and hide my face under the sheets and I hear him chuckling.

"What about my clothes? I have nothing to wear"

"In the hotel laundry. I did order something for you and some breakfast, I'm sure they will be here in a bit. I got to go"

"Well okay" I peek my head out. He smiles at me and leaves the room without a word. I start laughing by myself at everything that just happent this morning.

Room service does deliver a blue designer dress, shoes and undergarments with the star breakfast that I fall in love with. I take a long bubble bath with champagne, chocolate and caviar and toast to myself. I scroll through the channels and have lunch on the balcony watching the city. I then take a long nap that gets interrupted by the knocks on the door. I don't remember ordering anything. I walk to the door open it to the man holding a bag to me and handing it over. I take it and peek inside. There are boxes and fabric and I spot my purse. I take it dropping the bag and searching the contents everything is intact except for the few dollars I had. I take my phone and try accessing it but it doesn't turn on, I think the battery has died.

"Oh thank you! Thank you so very much" i tell him excited and pull him in an excited half jumping hug and confess to him "I actually asked you as a challenge. I can't believe you actually found it." I jump at him and hug him again

"Now before you get me all hot and bothered you should know it wasn't that hard"

"How did you find it?"

"I already settled everything downstairs so how about how about that dinner you promised"

"mmh! let me think" I do that as I pretend to be thinking, tapping my chin and everything when I realize we are standing by the door

"Why don't you come in first mister gentleman" I tell him as I invite him inside

"Well thank you Brianna. After you" I laugh at how he holds the fact that he knows my name and I don't know his over my head.

"You forgot this" he says coming in and handing me the bag

"Thank you. what is it?"

"Just a little present. I thought you need something to wear for dinner"

"I think that's too much" this guy is spending too much money on me and I don't know how I am feeling about it.

"I can't take it. You have already spent so much on me. I feel like I'm taking advantage of your kindness" he laughs at me and when he realizes I'm serious apologizes

"I am sorry. Listen, you cant take advantage of me over a few dollars."

"you even got my purse back. I feel even worse"

"tell you what. I don't want you to so feel like you're supposed to pay me with this dinner or anything. I just want to talk and get to know you but if it's too much don't worry you don't have to do anything" with that we just stare at each other for a while and he sighs

"I will go. Everything is settled with the hotel so you don't have to worry. it was a pleasure meeting you" he takes my hand and kisses it and starts leaving. Now I feel even worse we had a deal and I couldn't even do that and now he's leaving. I don't want him to go. He opens the door steps out and i run after him

"Wait stop!"

"Is it wait or stop?" he asks and still has his back towards me

"I'll have dinner with you" when I say this he turns to face me and starts smirking with a winning smile

"But it's on me. I can't very well pay for dinner right now so why don't we go to my place. I'll make something quick and my debt will be paid then I don't have to so so guilty

"It's a date"

"Wipe that smile off your face. Let me grab my stuff then we can go" I get in collect my things in the bag he brought with him this evening and leave the room.

We leave the hotel and get in his car. I give him my address and we drive to my apartment quietly. We get there and head in. I'm glad Alice convinced me to doing a little cleaning before I left as I invite him in. I go to the bedroom to put my stuff then come back and offer him something to drink. I then head over to the kitchen and look for something to make. with my dilemma in the past months in the fact that I'm not really good at cooking there aren't many options. I think this was not a really good idea. I have some eggs, milk, cereal, flour, oil and not much else really. I am busy collecting the ingredients that I don't feel him coming to stand next to me

"Well that will be an uneventful dinner" he points out startling me in the process

"Thank you chef. How many stars you get?" an

"Actually I am a very good cook if you must know. And I would say these ingredients are much more how suited for breakfast. Are you trying to suggest I stay till morning.mmh?"

"Don't flatter yourself. Good cook......"

"Very! Good cook" he corrects me and we just find ourselves laughing at it

"I should have stopped at the store. I am just so distracted I feel bad. I can't even make dinner"

"It's fine since we are already here we can just order in and still have that dinner you promised" "well okay"

"Come on let's settle on something to eat" he says taking my hand and taking me to the couch to sit as he starts scrawling through his phone

"There is this really nice Chinese restaurant not far from here that has tasty meals and they also do home delivery. What do you say?"

"Let me" I take the phone from him and can't believe these prices. on my budget right now, this guy wants to get me more than broke than I already am for one night

"Not with these prices. Thank you"

"Its delicious I promise and I will get it. It's no big deal"

"To you! This dinner is on me I have to take care of it. Why don't we just have pizza or burgers and salad? It's also very nice although not five stars"

"Mmh...I am willing to try he says as he pretends to be in deep thought

"Big head" I tell him with a little smack on the shoulder standing up to get my phone and order us pizza for dinner.
