“You do not need to be afraid about a thing as it is just a dinner date. Moreover, I will not do anything to you, except you want me to”, he whispered while keeping his gaze on the road but her answer suddenly shocked him as she asked,
” What if I want to?”.
Duke let out a laugh and while driving there was another silence again that followed. He made sure not to say anything that might ruin his chance of making her he’s so he was very thoughtful about the things he said more still about the ones he did.
He delve for some more hours and they were finally at their destination. Duke parked his car well at the parking lot and the security agent opened the door for Bethany as he had been told that Duke was coming in with someone.
“Good day ma’am”, the security agent spoke out giving his hand for Bethany to step out of the car and letting out a smile she saluted him.
” Shall we?”, Duke asked with a smile on his face. Bethany nodded and without hesitation, she followed her prince charming inside. Her heart was filled with joy and she could not wait to see the surprise that Duke had for him.
When they arrived at the bistro, she was wowed when the door was pushed and she saw the hall decorated finely.
“Oh my God, this is beautiful”, she screamed out in joy. Her hands were trembling as she walked into the place. She was happy and that was an understatement because her whole mood was a vibe.
” You like it love?”, Duke inquired but Bethany ran back to him, she screamed out as she said that she loves. No man had ever given her such a surprise and Duke was glad to be that man to give her such a deep smile. Duke told her to follow him inside so that they could have a good time. Out of so much excitement as she walked across the room, looking at each chair.
When they had arrived at their table, Duke pulled out the seat for her to sit down and have a comfortable night. Bethany realized that something was strange after she had danced all over and let a confused countenance, she asked,
“Why is there no one apart from us?”.
Duke stared at her and clicking his fingers for a server to approach them, he responded,
” I needed some time with you alone, so the crowd would have been an obstacle to my special moment with you”.
Bethany’s cheek had already turned red as she was blushing nonstop, Duke told her to relax and enjoy the moment.
Yes, he wanted her to feel every bit of what was going to happen that night and with the surprises that he had prepared for her, he knew that she was going to live it.
“Welcome Sir Duke, Welcome ma’am”, the server spoke out as he held the menu in his hands. Duke took a look at Bethany and asked what she will like from the Menu, she told the server to give her a moment while she ponders on it.
Bending her head to focus on the menu, Duke made a sign to the waitperson to do as he had instructed him to. He nodded in agreement to their plan and left for the counter where he played a piece of soft music brought out a packet that was well sealed.
Walking slowly towards them, the waiter could feel the satisfaction that Bethany was going to have as soon as she sees the content. Placing a plate in front of her, and the packet too.
” Hey, I have not made my order yet”, she mumbled politely but the water told her that it was a dessert from the house, she comprehended that and thanked him.
“Duke what about you, don’t you want some?”, she inquired but Duke kept on smiling and she was confused why he was only smiling at her.
Looking at the package that was in front of her, she asked what was inside, but Duke told her to open it. She said okay but told him that she needed to eat the dessert first while waiting for her meal to arrive. When Bethany opened the plate, she cried out not believing what her eyes were observing and Duke going down on one knee, he asked,
” Bethany Marvin, will you marry me?”.
Bethany could not carry rye wight of what she was listening to so rising to her feet, she held her face with her hands, and looking at Duke one last time as though that was going to be the last time that she was seeing him, she said yes jumping on him.
“She said yes, did you all listen to that, she said yes”, Duke shouted out and immediately he kissed Bethany so softly.
” I love you Bethany”, he spoke and Bethany said those words for the first time, she responded to him,
“I love you more Duke”.
He put her down and asked her to unpack the package that was on the table, Bethany asked him whether there were any more surprises for her. Duke told her just to do so, and saying okay, she began to unwrap the box on the table, maintaining the same smile that was on her face.
Reaching the middle of the box, she could only see papers, but there was nothing visible yet.
” Just tell me what is inside babe”, she pleaded as she was getting impatient already but Duke encouraged her to search deeper, she continued as her gaze could not leave Duke’s side. Feeling something like a smaller box inside the unwrapped packet, Bethany bought it out, wondering what could be inside.
“What could this be?”, she interrogated looking for a means to get it open. Her hands were over small and listening to something shaking inside of it. She wanted to know what was inward.
Finally seeing the content, her face dropped in awe as there was a key inside. Asking Duke what the key was for, he told her that the car she had seen outside while they were entering into the parking lot, washers. Bethany scrolling through her head to recall what he was talking about and searching a glimpse of the car, she said,
” No way, you must be kidding me right?”. Duke shook his head saying that he was very serious about what he was talking about. Bethany’s tears could be seen as she held the table and leaned against it.
“Why will you have to go through all these for me Duke?”, she asked shedding tears but Duke took out a document from the table, extended it to her saying that those documents are for her new business which was a shop registered under her name.
Bethany not being able to contain the joy she was feeling inside she passed out.
” Oh my God, Bethany, wake up”, Duke shook her and the waiters feeling scared, asked that she should be taken to a hospital but Duke knowing that she was going to wake up, carried her to the hotel room where he had made reservations to.
His heart was a bit troubled but he knew that she was getting on to be okay. Carrying her in his arms, he felt glad that she had passed out from happiness rather than pain and once he had entered the room, Duke placed the access card ok the door and made his way inside with her in his arms.
Laying her down on the bed, he took off her bra to let her breathe properly. His dresses were the next on the line as he needed to get some water to sprinkle on her to revive her again. Walking into the bathroom, the evening was short-lived but he was there in the room with her, and all the decorations were ruined cuz she wasn’t conscious to see it but it was okay.
He had brought out some water in his hands and sprinkled it on her face the first time, she was still not reacting but the second time was the best as she woke up coughing out.
“What happened?”, she asked looking all around in the room, but Duke telling her not to bother herself and to have some rest, she refuted looking over and noticing that they were in the room. Her great was a bit free in her clothes so touching it with her hands she screamed out in fright asking,
” What did you do to me, Duke?”.
“I did nothing to you, or did you want me to do something to you?”, he asked in return making her feel more uncomfortable. She shook her head in denial thinking back at what had happened at the restaurant.
” I can it believe that you had all those things planned up just for me, I feel like the happiest girl on earth”, she murmured keeping her gaze on her dress but Duke going closer to her, telling her that she has nothing to thank him for, her whether he could kiss her.
She had turned red like an riped tomato wondering why he will change the content of what they were discussing.
“It is okay if you do not want to love I told you that I will not force you”, he spoke out pulling his body backward as he was about to get up from the bed, but Bethany who has been feeling like having him for a while, pulled his head and without uttering a word, she kissed Duke passionately.
He could not believe that she was the one who had engaged the first step but it was clear to him that he loved him so much to want to have all of him. Pulling out his head after some second of pleasurable kisses, he asked her whether she was conscious of what she was doing but Bethany looking at him in the yes and voicing out softly, she asked Duke to make love to her, she wanted to feel her essence as a woman and she desired to enjoy all of it.
” I am not sure you want this Betty, you are just thinking about me and not yourself”, he mumbled but Bethany, rising to her feet and wanting to prove to him that she was ready enough, began to take off her clothes and looking down as she was feeling ashamed, Duke stood up to his feet holding her by the shoulders and said,
“You have never had sex with any man before Betty and I respect that, it is the reason why I do not want you to rush these things”.
” But I am here with you wanting you to have me, why are you trying to make it difficult for me then?”, she inquired but his facial expression made her think that she was not woman enough to make him want to have anything with her.
With a sad look and frustrating tone, she covered her great and private part while going down slowly to get her gown saying,
“Take Me back home and thanks for making me look stupid”. Tears had formed in her eyes and she could not think that he was going to behave that way towards her. Duke feeling the anger and disappointment in her voice, asked,
” Do you want me to be the one to take away your virginity? he inquired not feeling worthy to have such an honor but Bethany who was already mad at him, walked past him without a word ass be searched for her bra.
Unexpectedly, Duke pulled her by the arm and brought her closer to him, feeling her breath against his skin and her fragrance was something that he enjoyed. He was going to have the best night of his life with the woman that has shown him that love exists.
