“What is with the sudden meeting Trisha?” Her husband asked as he sat on the reading table in the room, Aiden stood there looking unimpressed as he dipped his drink slowly.

“I will wait for you in the garage later when everyone else retires to bed”

Laura heart nearly jumped out of her ribcage when Micheal whispered those words to her infront of her mother this evening, she was curious at first, she thought he wanted them to hide their relationship from other people, so why now is he asking her to sneak with him in the dead of the night?

She was lightheaded throughout the dinner time with her family, they chat Merrily including their visitor Aiden, but she honestly was not in the mood to join the conversation and just focus on her meal as her mind kept bringing different images and reasons why he wanted her to meet him later In the night, tingling sensation rushed through her as she thought about what happened at the market, what if he had something steamy than that for her tonight?

As soon as it was ended, she retire to bed and waited for the house to be silent so she could slip out without watchful eyes.

“I have a theory” Trisha said, looking at the glass window, she could see lights illuminating outside, ” I want to prove if iam correct”

“You are always correct with your schemes Trisha” Jadua said. She smirked in his direction, ” that is why I love you darling”.

“I hate third Wheeling with you guys, it makes me nauseous everytime, why did you call me here if you two can’t tone down your freaking sweetness when you are in my company, geez! Have mercy on me”

Trisha raised an eyebrow in Aiden direction, ” What you feel is not nausea but jealousy. Deep inside, you desperately want this kind of relationship I have with my husband Aiden, why don’t you find a bride of your own and make your mother melvina weep with Happy tears”

Aiden feign the look of horror, ” what an horrible thing to say? I would rather accept a mission in Antarctica to finding myself a bride, as a matter of fact iam not yet tired with my flirting and enjoying my youthful life Trisha, spare me all these talk why am I here?

Trisha burst out laughing by just looking at the pissed look on Aiden face, there is nothing more enjoyable than baiting her bestfriend strong headed son about this marriage thing, casual affair were his thing, he never for once tried to make commitment because while he is making the commitment he is eyeing the shapely buttocks of another lady, he is not like the someone sitting over there, look at him now he is happily settled with married life with her.

Trisha gaze caught something outside, she walked over to the window to have a clearer view of what she was seeing, there was Laura running to the garage hastily.

“See, I know there would be a midnight encounter, I have been there dear daughter” Trisha thought silently with a smile as she watched Laura running and also looking her back towards the garage.

“It seems that you are right all along Trisha” looking by her side, there was Aiden standing beside her looking out the window.

“The pretty princess will meet her boyfriend in secrecy under her father’s nose to have a midnight stroll around the estate, how romantic!”

Trisha laughed heartily, she was aware that Aiden was baiting Jadua who remained silent, Aiden stared at her grining.

“I guess your his excellency is aware of what will happen when a man and woman took a late night getaway”

“Iam out of here” Jadua groaned and walked out of the room, Aiden and Trisha watched the speeding Jeep away.

“That is my Boy, Michael”

*************

Laura heart lurched at the sight of him in the dark corner of the huge garage, he was there looking dark and dangerous. Her Michael.

“Hey!” She said, a little breathlessly since she came running from the main house, ” Sorry, iam late”

Michael detached himself from the pillar and returned her smile, he touched the side of her cheek, ” You are just in time princess”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Where are you taking me to for this mysterious trip of yours?”

“It is a surprise” he said, before opening the passenger door of the keep parked at the side of the garage, ” let’s go.” Laura jumped into the vehicle and placed her seatbelt around her body, the anticipation was killing her just by thinking of the mysterious trip he had planned for them, Michael maneuver the automobile in the driveway and sped to an unknown destination.

After a short drive, they finally arrived at their destination. Michael parked the Jeep under the shaded tree nearby, Laura noticed that there was already out fire near the picnic table.

This man planned this ahead? She thought silently as she slid out of the vehicle with awe.

” I always want to do this with you?” Michael said almost immediately, he unloaded the picnic basket from the trunk of the car.

Laura raised an eyebrow in his direction, ” aren’t you okay in the role in showing your romantic side sir?” She never thought that Michael could be this passionate, “you keep surprising me today Michael”

” I will take that as a compliment” his eyes lit with fevor, he laid out a blanket on the grass with the basket in his hand, he took a seat on the blanket and gesture her to sit beside him, so she didn’t hesitate to sit beside him under the stray night.

“This is more romantic than in most movies, Michael.” Laura breathe as she stared in the sky and appreciated the glowing star, ” I need to remember that you are a danger to a woman heart”

“I beg to disagree” he replied playfully, opening a glass of wine. She hid her smile while watching him pour the liquid into the wine glass. He really knew how to catch a woman’s attention, ” the only heart I want is yours”

Her pathetic heart danced at his word, she immediately took a sip of the offered wine to break the eye contact, “why do I always behave like this in his company? I don’t react like this to other men before, only him!

“Tell me…” She changed the topic, putting him on the hot seat, ” … how many girls have you brought on a date like this”

He stared deep in her eyes, ” only you Laura”

“Oh… okay”

Laura was lost for words, she just stared at the fire burning not far away from them, being with Michael like this makes her nervous. In the last they were rarely alone together, and if they were unaccompanied he was busy stealing kisses from her.

“Laura….”

She turned to his side to face him but it was already too late, his face was only inch apart from hers and before she could formulate a reply, he was already cradling her free face and kissing her squarely. She placed her hand on his broad shoulders for support and she kissed him back.

When the kiss got heated and deeper, Michael pulled away, he rested his forehead on hers while they try to catch their breath, only the sound of flickering wood could be heard around them.

“We need to stop or we will surely regret this after”

Laura had enough of their teasing and kissing, and Michael would stop Midway for the reason he only knew, this time she decided to be in charge. His eyes went wide when she suddenly straddle between his legs, ” Nope Michael, tonight we are not stopping”.

There was a dark fire that lit in his eyes, she had never seen such express from him before, ” You will surely regret this In the morning Laura”

She shook her head resolutely, kissing the side of his mouth. Laura never realize that she could be this bold towards her advances to Michael, ” You don’t have any idea how long I have waited for this”

“Stop seducing me if you don’t want to regret this In the future” he said hoarsely, his large hands took hold of her waist as he guide her to the bulk of his jeans, ” If you Don’t stop now, you might wake up something and I will not let you go even if you want to”
