The Croesus’ Bride [Completed] - 119 Chapter 15

Flora Kent’s POV

So, the day for my dinner with Daniel Hekatos was here. I can hardly breathe. It was nerve-wracking and I think this was not good for my health. I have some works that need to be done before I can go out for dinner. Heck, I even skipped lunch because the anticipation was too high.

I went to close my computer before I went to take the longest shower that I could ever be in. It was about 15 minutes as I was washing my body and hair to the fullest. I wanted to be nice to him. I smiled at the thought.

Then, I went to put some lotion from Victoria’s Secrets. It was nice and yummy that it would be seductive for me to try this for once in my life. Heck, I don’t even wear it when I was with Danial Summer.

Do not think about him, dill weed. You have to focus on the present. It’s the drop-dead gorgeous Mr. Daniel Hekatos. You can tackle him tonight and maybe you will be forgetting about him after all.

I sighed as I was doing something for my manicure. I was trying to look nice and pretty. I need to look good and I think I wanted to be more than good. I wanted us to work and I sure hoped that everything will be going according to the plan.

“Let see what we have here,” I said as I was rummaging through the wardrobe that I don’t have much. I was trying to get something that was nice but not too desperate for his attention. I wanted to be good but kind of sexy and appeal to his vibe.

I sighed as I don’t have anything fancy and I think I might be wasting so much time now that I was showering too long and I have been doing some of my manicures and trying on hairstyles that would be perfect for tonight.

I sighed before I spotted something in the wardrobe. It was the pink dress that I went on with Danial Summer for our first date. It has been blossoming our first date officially as we declared our love for each other. It ended up on the floor of Danial’s apartment that night.

I blushed. I don’t know why I remembered it, it would make me blush even more and I was seeking him. Wanting him. Needing him. Gosh, I need to get laid and that was Daniel Hekatos, not Danial Summer.

“Maybe if I wore it tonight, it would bring new memory to that dress and I would forget about him all over again,” I said as I was pulling that dress as I was examining it. It was nice alright, but I never thought that it would be this nice.

And on such occasion to wear, I shivered.

I sighed before I went to put it on. I went to the bathroom to ditch my towel and went to dress. It was nice as the curves of my body fitted perfectly with the dress. It was strapless and the bodice was nice. My nails were black and to complete the look, I wore my hair down.

I know, after so many trials and errors, I think I would be okay for letting it down once. I smiled as I was looking at myself in the mirror. The makeup was light as it was accentuating the big, green eyes that I have. I wore thin eyeliner and the eyeshadow was nude. It was natural but sultry as well.

“Well, I guess there’s no going back then,” I said as I went to put some VS Rebel perfume on my wrists and neck. It smelled delighted and I hoped that Daniel would notice me tonight and maybe wanted something more than me.

My phone rang when I put on the stud earrings. It was pink stud earrings of course and when I looked at the number, it was Daniel. I answered the phone with a goofy smile on my face.

“Hello,” I said.

“Hello yourself, gorgeous,” he replied. I giggled before I went to take my coat and my handbag.

“So, are you ready yet?” He asked me. I was walking down the stairs before I went down to the front door to see that he was standing in front of it.

“Hi,” I said as I lowered the phone from my ear. I smiled at him before he smiled at me. His hazel eyes were shining somehow. Maybe it was the moonlight tonight.

“Hi, gorgeous,” he said before he pulled me into his arms and kissed my lips squarely. I snaked my hands around his neck as I sensed him pulling me closer to his hard body. I whimpered as he was biting my lower lips.

“You look and smell amazing, Flora,” he whispered huskily as I was closing my eyes before I looked at him.

“Am I now?” I said as I was smirking at me. He smiled at me.

“Well, what can I say, you are the best of the best,” he said before he perked my lips briefly and we went out of the house. I locked it up and Daniel put his hand on my lower back before heading me to the car. He opened the door and held it for me as I slipped inside his car.

“Why thank you, good sir,” I said as he was smirking at my flirt. He closed the door before he went to the driver seat. He got in and turned on the ignition before he took my left hand and kissed my knuckles.

“I will make you happy tonight and maybe—”

“Maybe?” I asked him as I looked at his hazel eyes.

“Maybe you will come home with me tonight,” he said as he was whispering to my ear. I shivered as I cannot wait for the anticipation of his promise. It was like I was with Danial Summer all over again.

“I would like to see you try,” I said as he smirked at me before he winked at me.

“Oh, I know you will,” he said before he drove out of my road and we went to the restaurant that he already books. My heart was beating so fast as that notion of he was sure I will be coming home with him was right.

And maybe I let him get to me as Danial did once.

Once we have arrived at the restaurant, it was not any other restaurant. It was a famous one inside the 5-star hotel that I was tempted to go but too broke to book my stay here. I sighed before Daniel opened the door and offered his hand to me.

“Shall we, milady?” He said in Italian as he was very gentleman and opposite of Danial Summer. I took his hand before I went into his arms. He was putting his hand onto my lower back, opposite of Danial when we went out together as he would just walk away from me like I was a plague. I shut that thought down as I shook my head.

“What’s wrong?” Daniel asked me as he was looking at me, concern on his face.

“Nothing, I was remembering something. I told my parents that I wanted to eat here when I get the chance,” I said we walked inside the door. He went to talk with the hostess as she smiled at him, beaming actually at him. Jealousy was coming onto me like a monster.

I blinked before he pulled me away to get to our table. It has been torture that I have to see the hostess was batting her eyelashes at him and he did not react to it. He was being oblivious right now!

“If you guys need anything, I will be serving you for the night,” she said as she was brushing her fingers with Daniel. I was praying that I will not have to make some dramatic action to cut her throat right now.

“So, what are you having?” Daniel asked me as he was looking at me. I opened the menu and looked at it. It was expensive, to say the least, that it can feed whole other things with the amount that was on display.

“Hmm, now this is hard,” I said as I chuckled at him. He smiled at me before he looked at the menu as well.

“Well, I have to say I am a classic. I will go with Alfredo Fettuccini then,” I said as I closed the menu before Daniel looked at me.

“I was just thinking to get the white wine. Good thinking, cara,” he said before he signaled the waiter. I blinked a few times before I registered that he called me cara.

Dear.

I blushed as I can sense heat was coming onto my face. It was nerve-wracking but I think I liked that he called me by that endearment.

He said our orders and a few minutes later, we have food on our table. I was looking at it before I saw some desserts that I don’t think I said to him.

“Did you order Sundae ice cream?” I asked Daniel after our main course had vanished and was being replaced by the desserts now.

“No, it’s just I did not expect to eat ice cream after dinner,” I said as I went to scoop some of the ice creams and brought it to my mouth. I moaned and closed my eyes as I can sense Daniel was looking at me. I opened my eyes to see that his hazel eyes were dark on my face.

Dark with desire for me. I shivered at the thought of him having me over at his place.

“Don’t you want to eat yours?” I asked him as I was scooping some more and I was ready to get the conversation going because I was too embarrassed to talk to him right now.

“No, I think I had my fill already,” he said as he was training on my lips as I licked my lower lips.

“Well, I think I’m done as well,” I said as I put the spoon down and I looked at him. I think he can read that I wanted him tonight as I was licking my bottom lips and he was gulping.

“Check please!” He shouted as he was holding his hand up. I chuckled at his gesture but I think I know what was due to come afterward.
