She laughs, "You seriously need to get a man, so you can have real babies because these dogs have taken over your life."
"And you need to get a man for your cat." I tried a comeback but failed.
She laughs, "My cat is a man and he's content. I don't need two cats trying to kill Brandon's fish."
I laugh. "The cat needs to get it on."
"Just like you do."
"Nah, I'm happy."
"Well, my cat is happy too."
I laugh, "You don't give up do you?" it was more of a statement. Knowing Iris, she won't stop until I have a man.
"No, I don't. I have to go now but please think about Seth, he's a really nice guy."
"Okay, fine. I'll think about Seth."
"Great! Have a good flight honey and see you in a few days. Don't do anything I won't." After she hangs up I couldn't help but think about her works.
Think about Seth, he's a really nice guy.
I shake my head. He's a really annoying guy.
"Welcome home." I smiled at the sweet Asian immigration officer as she hands me passport. Thank God I didn't have to go through customs.
I walked through the door that left to the collection of bag area. I only had one suitcase to collect and thank God it is a unique one, so I could spot it as soon as I walked over the moving bag thing. I quickly grabbed up my suitcase but almost tripped because of my heels but before I could fall someone caught me.
I recognized the cologne immediately and when he places me back on me feet and turn to look at him.
"Thanks, Richard." I grip my suitcase tight in my hand and gave him a fake smile.
"No problem. It's good to see you." He smiled at me and I mentally rolled my eyes. Is it really good to see me, the girl you cheated on?
"I wish I could say the same." I break eye contact with him and turn to look at my suitcase. "I have to go." I turn away without another word, I didn't want to hear his stupid lies or his pleas.
Richard was the first guy and only guy to cheat on me and it hurt, it made me feel like I wasn't doing enough as a girlfriend, after all why else would he cheat? Why would he cheat with someone that worked in the same office as I did?
I remembered the day I caught him like it was yesterday. How could a girl forget that? Especially when the day was Valentine's Day.
I laugh when I opened the box Richard gave me. I looked up at him shaking my head. "Did you really just get me a finger nail clipper."
He pulls me in his arms and smile, "Yes, you keep crabbing me during sex." I laugh and wrap my hand around his neck.
"I don't think that's the reason. I think it's because you hate that I bite my nails."
He laughs, "I do hate when you bite your nails. You know I like my woman with nails."
"I have nails," Biting my nail was something that I have been doing since I was a child, it had just become apart of me.
"Barely." I rolled my eyes at him. I removed my hands from his neck and placed it on his side.
"Where are you taking me?" I said in a seductive voice.
"When you get there, you'll see."
Hating the suspense, I replied "Well we better get going. We can stand in your living room the whole night."
Richard car had been towed away for parking in a handicap parking space, so I had to pick him up, instead of him picking me up.
I grabbed his hands and pulled him towards his apartment door.
"Come on. I don't have all night." I smile as I said the words, I did have all night. I had plan something really sweet and sex for the night, but I wasn't going to tell him that.
I handed over my car keys to him, "Gracias senorita."
I smiled, I love it when he spoke Spanish to me. He was fluent in the language because his mother grew up in Puerto Rico, His father on the other hand was Russian so he was also exposed to the language. I had only heard him speak Russian a few times with his father over the phone. I never got to met any of parents, they were always busy, and his father was always travelling, or so he says.
Richard was an investment banker, so his job made him travel a lot. The company he works for is one the best and so he is always in demand. But didn't bother me because he would always find time to spend with me.
After thirty minutes of driving we pulled up at Le Chateau Bleu, a very famous, expensive French restaurant. I smiled as I looked at the outside décor of the place. It was magnificent. He must have booked this months ago because I've been trying to come her for years, but it was always booked out.
As I exit my side of the car, I saw the smiling Valet and I returned the smile.
Richard hand over my keys and scolded at boy. I rolled my eyes at his behavior but stayed quit. His attitude towards some persons was just mean but I guess it was apart of his personality growing up. He was born rich and sometimes just didn't know any better.
He took my hands and lead me in the restaurant. When we entered the host smiled at us, "Bonsoir, Madam, Monsieur. How may I help you?"
"Reservations under Richard Palmer."
"Ah, Oui. Follow me."
As I followed behind the older man, I couldn't help but admire the interior décor of the restaurant, it was beyond breathtaking. Everything was made out of furniture wood, it gave off a sparkling effect. In the of the room there was two huge fish tanks but only one tank had fish, the other is filled with lobster. The lightening of the restaurant was also amazing. I could even smell the food and it was smelling great.
