100 Days With Mr Romero

Emma looked at the mirror and kept marveling at the image projected by the glass. Her recently acquired flat belly and tender skin coupled with the thin figure she had, made her marvel over the wonders that could be achieved in a month at the gym. Since last month, she had taken her work outs seriously and went to the gym daily. The diet also helped. She knew it. She wondered why she hadn’t visited the gym or placed herself on such diet after having Ryan.

“In few months to come, I’ll be the Emma I used to be”. She assured herself and smiled in the mirror feeling her tender skin and rubbing her flat belly. She was practically looking hot and sexy and of course, she won’t she promised herself not to relent in her exercises.

She slipped into her skimpy brown sleeveless dress and thought of releasing her hair. ‘Always in a dough’ she muttered as she loosened her beautiful blonde hair which fell unto her shoulders. She oiled it and combed it and her hair was soon glowing. She reddened her lips the way she loved it and sat on the edge of her bed putting on her red heels. Her make up was light and beautiful. She grabbed her purse and stuffed in some money, a pepper spray and her credit card. Her phone suddenly began to ring. She checked her wrist watch : it was exactly 9 pm. She knew it was Ellie calling. Ellie had come with a taxi and was waiting for Emma to quickly come outside so they could head for the club. Emma grabbed the door knob and quickly ran to the mirror to look at herself one more time before dashing out. She locked the door and placed the key in her purse then jumped into the taxi and they sped off.

“You look hot. ” Ellie complimented Emma. She’s never seen Emma dress this way before and she was glad she was able to convince Emma to leave the house tonight

Emma and Ellie walked into the club alongside few others. The place was more filled than it was earlier when they left and the resounding music kept the people in the mood. A group of elderly men were playing games at the centre surrounded by heavily built man and pretty ladies. The bar stools were all occupied. A couple was sharing a kiss by the corner while a large group of people were dancing. Some in twos, others alone. Emma managed to squeeze herself in a sofa which was already occupying two ladies while Ellie went to get them some drinks. Emma had missed the usual club atmosphere and was beginning to forget what it looked like after having Ryan. She was at home all day and resting at night. She missed the games, the shots competition and she missed dancing too. Ellie was taking too long to return Emma thought as she looked around stretching her neck. Then, her eyes fell upon the arrogant customer whom she met earlier. She quickly turned her attention the other way but the unrelenting man began walking towards her.

Before Emma could realize it, the man was standing before her while the people she shared a sofa with were up, surprisingly vacating their seat for the man. I would never give up my seat in such a tight space for anyone here Emma thought. The man quickly sat beside her and moved rather too close extending his left hand for a handshake. She ignored him and stared the other way pulling her skimpy dress which was barely covering her thighs. The man chuckled loudly and said.

“People are meant to have fun here not crash in some dumb couch with no company. ”

“I’ll have fun my way. ” she said stretching her neck trying to get a glimpse of Ellie who had wandered off.

“You came here with someone? ” the man asked. Emma didn’t utter a word. Meanwhile, she was wondering over his sudden change of act. Earlier, he was an arrogant fellow and now, he sounded nice? Emma looked down and her eyes were greeted by his well polished leather shoes. She had seen one of those shoes on Gideon. They are very expensive. She looked up and his blue eyes were staring directly into her brown eyes. His eyes were so intense she had to look away.

“Are You Okay? ” the man asked. She nodded marveling over his now concerned behavior. She wanted to remind him of how rude he was earlier but she didn’t. He must be playing games with her. She thought.

“So tell me something. Your name, Where you live and your new job. ” the man said sounding interested in her affairs. Did he just say new job? How did he know she just got hired recently she thought. He noticed her confusion and said

“I know all the staff around here. ”

“You are new. ” he added.

“You seem a regular customer here. ” she stated her observation.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

“Or maybe more. ” he replied with a smile. Emma didn’t read too much into what he had said

His fragrance had covered the whole spot and Emma was scared she might start smelling like him in a short while.

“You don’t want to talk to me ? ” he asked her.

“I can’t hear you. ” Emma lied pointing towards the spot where the resounding music was emanating from. The man knew she was lying. Emma needed no one to tell her this strange man liked her. She could read his body language.

“I’ll let you be now. ” he said then got up. Emma nodded. Finally he is leaving she thought and heaved a sigh of relief.

“Hey! I’m so sorry for all that happened earlier at the bar stand earlier on today. ” the man apologized. Emma was dumbfounded for she never saw the apology coming. The man leaned over and kissed her forehead while Emma was left stunned. She turned around hoping no one saw what just happened and luckily no one did. The people around were so engrossed in their business to notice. With her mouth wide open, Emma marveled at the man’s audacity as he went upstairs.
