Chapter 3: You're Not My Type
Matthew has been sitting at the other end of the bar when he noticed the lady at the other side of the room sitting at one of the bar stools at the far corner, she seems to be all by herself, she dismissed everyone who tried to hit on her, she’s been watching for a while now, just out of curiosity she kept his eyes on her, and then all of a sudden her tears were welling from her eyes then flowing freely down her cheeks, he suddenly felt bad, maybe she is here after a break up he thought, and feeling sympathetic towards the lady, he asked the guy tending to him to go check on her before she totally breaks down just in case ,which the bar tender willingly obliged. And after that the lady seem ta came to her senses and quickly paid her bill and started walking out the door, that is when he decided to approach her and offer to give her a ride home, she looks a so drunk already she looks like she’s gonna fall anytime, it might not be safe for her to drive or take a taxi on her own.
And as the girl was about to drop face first on the floor he was able to grab her by the waist, and steady her on her feet, he ushered her outside, she was offering her a ride and asking her for her address but she seems so out of it already, she looks like she drunk more than she could handle, and perhaps it has something to do with those tears earlier, she looks like a lady who came to drown a heartache? She probably just got divorced or maybe just broke up with someone? Who knows, maybe he will ask her later whet she is finally sober.
He asked the attendant to bring his car over and she propped the lady in the passengers seat properly and before he started the engine he asked for her address, but all she could hear is mumbling from her lips, she is just smiling and her eyes are lazily staring at him, he thought she is really cute, and surprisingly is not wearing make up at all, how unusual for a girl to be in a bar without a lot of make up. And he finds her really beautiful but somehow senses innocence in her, she doesn’t seems to be very young she has this maturity in her but he senses innocence in this lady. Now she has closed her eyes and seems t have gone to sleep. And now he doesn’t have a choice but to take her to his flat.
When they arrived at his building he guided her through the elevator into his place, unfortunately when they got there she started vomiting on to herself getting her clothes soaked in vomit, he was a little bit frustrated and annoyed because he never had to deal with anything like this before and now this
total stranger which he just pitied, he doesn’t even know her name, is now vomiting all over his apartment, and on him and on herself, she seem to not able to handle alcohol very well, but somehow he doesn’t seem to get mad at her at all in fact he felt concerned for her. He couldn’t help but think what could have happened to her if he was not there. He felt a little angry towards her, How could someone like her be so stupid, and allow herself to be in such a dangerous situation, what if it was someone else who picked her up? It is somehow weird he is feeling deep concern for some he doesn’t know, but anyway, what should he do now? Puke all over the place, she is so messed up, her clothes are soaked in disgusting vomit. He has never done anything like this before. He is usually the one drunk and the ladies are the ones who takes care of her.
He has no choice but to clean her up before putting her in bed, he can’t allow her to lie down in such a disgusting state. He has no choice, He took her to the bathroom and cleaned her up.
Lola woke up with an intense pain in her temple, she tried opening her eyes but the pain in her head gets more intense when she tries, so she kept them close and tried to go back to sleep, so she turned over propped herself nicely under the sheet, she thought the sheets are smelling really extra nice and extra soft today, and she is smelling something nice, like sweet honey with butter toast and bacon, it’s making her hungry. She tossed and turned a few times and she is really feeling hungry now.
When suddenly she opened her eyes so wide her head felt like it will explode but she doesn’t care because she felt naked, she looked under the sheets and indeed she was naked! the room is unfamiliar,
it is not her room, she closed her eyes again so tight that it hurts her, and tried to remember what happened last night. She couldn’t remember no matter how much she tried, her last memory of last night was her trying to drink herself to death because she finally surrendered from her plan of getting a man to “mate her” so she can have her own baby, a very selfish plan and very disgusting now that she could look back at the past weeks of man hunting!
But Why is she naked in an unfamiliar room? Did she manage to pick up someone in her drunken state last night? was she raped? Is she kidnapped? But she is in a nice room, rape usually doesn’t happen like that is it? Or maybe it does? She couldn’t think anymore more, what else happened after she got drunk. She couldn’t remember!
She was about to cry when the door opened and a handsome figure appeared by the door fully dressed in pajamas very fancy pajamas actually like silk a bit glossy and it is cream with a black lining. And the guy looks so good in it.
Good Lord she is admiring a total stranger who is probably her kidnapper and rapist and why is she not worried, why is she not angry and she is not scared.
She tried to say something but the guy beat her to it.
“ Ok good you’re awake. Your clothes are at the foot of the bed, by the way they are washed and clean, get yourself dressed, come and have breakfast and I will take you home”! And he closed the door.
“Washed and clean”? She thought, ‘do criminals take you home to get your clothes washed and clean now? She looked around the room and found her clothes at the foot of the very large bed she is lying on, She couldn’t stop thinking of what could have happened last night, Did he do something to her? Did something happen, shit!, why can’t she remember, but she is naked so maybe something did happen and if it’s so why can’ she remember it even just a bit!! So she felt her self down there but nothing feels unusual. She is ok. And as unusual as it is she is not afraid at all, worried yes, but fear none at all, he seems to be a nice person though!
She hurriedly put on her clothes, found the bathroom and washed her face, fix herself a bit and walked outside the room, following the smell of coffee towards a very nice kitchen with a view, He was there putting two cups of coffee on the table, toast eggs, bacon and butter are all set on the table with two breakfast plates, a nicely set breakfast, He pulled one of the chairs for her and offered her to sit which she did. She took the coffee with both her hands and took a sip, she looked and saw him staring at her intensely across the table with his hands folded across his chest, this time he doesn’t seem too nice anymore he seems annoyed. She tried to speak again but was so intimidated she couldn’t make a sound.
“I am Matthew by the way” he said “ nice to meet you I am Lola” she responded.
“ Ok ! Great! Lola nice to finally know your name, I was thinking of going through your purse earlier but that would be inappropriate isn’t it? “ She just kept staring at him. No words are forming in her lips still so she listened. “ And just to remind you that what you did last night is just plain stupid, you don’t look dumb to me, I will just assume that last night was hard for you, or maybe you are going through something rough at the moment that you will drink yourself to death all by yourself, as I have said I know you are not dumb, I am just glad I was the one who came to your aid last night, could you imagine if it could have been someone else? You are a very nice looking lady, do you understand what I mean? She just nodded in agreement, but in her mind she was asking “how about you what did you do to me? Why was I naked? Did we do something”? So many questions racing inside her head which he seemed to have read clearly. “ No” he said “ I did not do anything to you, don’t even dream about it” he said. “ you were a mess you puke all over yourself and all over my apartment, I had to clean you off, and had to clean the house all night. And don’t worry you are not my type”!
Hearing what he said, Lola felt blood rushing to her face, she is probably as red as a strawberry right now, but somehow was relieved that she was safe and the guy was a total gentleman but at the same time embarrassed and most of all she felt a bit rejected. She’s a bit angry too, he is implying and saying to her face that she is not attractive enough for his taste. That is making her feel mad.
She finally got the courage to say the word thank you, and said, she will take a taxi back home, of course she is not gonna tell him that she is all the way from stamford, and had taken the train the previous night. “I really appreciate what you have done for me” she said “sure I can call a taxi for you once you are finished with your food” he replied. So she tried to finish breakfast as soon as possible and stood up, found her purse sitting on the kitchen counter, she picked it up and said thank you again, and told him that she prefers to just walk outside and try to hail a cab from there, which he agreed to. He took her to the elevator and she said goodbye!
Once the elevator has closed, Matthew realized he’s till smiling, and he seems to find lola interesting, their meeting is not very ideal, but his curiosity has been aroused,
he wants to know her a little bit more. Will he see her again?
Chapter 4: A Secret LoveLola can’t describe how she feels right now, she is feeling happy, though her secret trips to the city has been unsuccessful, and last night turned out to be a disaster, she is glad she met Matthew, whatever his last name is, she couldn’t forget his handsome face, and what a gentleman he was.She sat in front of her computer and pulled up her baby daddy file. She typed in his name and started ticking the criteria boxes, and wrote at the bottom of the page, perfect Match the chosen one.She has finally found the right one, the problem is how will she see him again, she was so embarrassed earlier she couldn’t even ask his full name, could hardly utter the word
Friday afternoon, Lola said goodbye to her crew earlier than usual, She has to go home early and get ready, she plans to take an earlier train tonight instead of taking the 7 pm schedule like she usually did in the past weeks she will take the 6, she just want to go early and do some walking around the city to calm her nerves before she goes to the spot. While she was getting dressed she looked at herself again in the mirror making sure that everything is perfect, she wants to make an impression and make sure that she is attractive enough not to be refused. She smiled back at her in the mirror, she actually looks good, she never looked at herself this way before, but she realized she can be sultry if she wanted to. Tonight she will give her best, hopefully he will be there.
Once the elevator closed behind them, He started to kiss her deeply and she responded with the same intensity and this pleased them both and as they entered his apartment and closed the door she responded to his kiss she is making him feel that she likes what he is doing, she is finding pleasure in this, she dropped her purse and wrapped both her arms around him, as his arms started caressing her and exploring her body, she moaned in pleasure. Matthew carried her to the bedroom while their lips are sealed in a kiss, she gently laid her down and kept on kissing her harder, their heartbeats are so fast and loud it seems to fill up the room, She is getting hotter and flushed and she has this desire to be held and touched, their lips parted for just a few moments to take a deep breath and for Matthew to take his clothes off, she watched him do it and she is enjoying the view, she allowed him to take hers off in silence and he seemed pleased
It was a busy Monday at the coffee shop, Lola’s schedule to man the kitchen are on Mondays, she make sure everything is ready all ingredients are prepared and nothing is missing, It is very important that everything is complete a little extra is always preferable, she doesn’t have to do the baking herself anymore she already has staff in the kitchen and she has a baker and a cook employed already but she still prefers to man the kitchen on Mondays, she schedules this day for cheesecake making, She loves making cheesecakes, she has her own twist to it, she has a few recipes, but her favorite is her own lime cheesecake, she loves the aroma of lime and with the little bit of tang on the cheesecake makes it special, she loves everything citrusy, so it’s not a wonder to find all kinds of lemon and lime flavored products in the shop, and customers loved them, another favorite of hers and people come to the shop for it is her key lime pie, she
No matter how busy Lola gets she can’t stop thinking of Matthew and every night she can’t help herself from thinking of him and fantasize of the things he can do to her in bed, of how he caressed her and touched her in places that gave her so much pleasure, as if he knew her body well enough that he knows the right places. Everyday she desires to be with him, and the feeling of him beside her. She had started daydreaming of him already. She feels like a teenager who just had her first time. She can’t understand the desire that he has for the man, it is not suppose to be like this, she is not suppose to enjoy it too much, she scolds herself sometimes and rebukes the fantasizing but she just can’t help it, fortunately the guy is too charming and really good in bed, and she likes it! But she constantly reminds herself that this is temporary. When she is done it will stop.
Katie was at the coffee house when Lola arrived at nine, She seems to be a little chippier than her usual self, they hugged and kissed, then she sat down opposite her and they chatted over coffee, Katie reiterated what she had said on her text earlier, that she wants her to make the cake herself because it is for a special dinner, she said dreamily. Lola laughed at her friends childish attitude, she looks really silly. “Of course I shall do what you ask your highness” she said still laughing. And what is this special dinner that you seem to be so excited about hmmm!! anything I need to know? Something you wanna share? Tidbits here and there?” “well, not really, I don’t want to spoil anything. do you remember what I told you last time? He is finally back, My parents and I are invited over for dinner, actually originally it was just my mom and dad, but I asked my mom to mention that I
Katie’s uncontained excitement for the dinner invitation for tonight is oozing from her every pore, she never realized how much Theo meant to her until now, she never felt so excited to see an old friend like this before, and she definitely knows why she feels that way, somehow Theo has always been special in her heart since their Manhattan days. And She is hoping he will feel the same too. Their families have always been close since those days when her dad and Mr. Adler were working in the same banking firm in Wall street, they used to have a residence in Manhattan her dad stays there all week and she and her mom preferred to stay in their family home in Stamford. She and her mom would drive on Friday afternoons after school to visit he
Matthew left Manhattan early in the afternoon to avoid the Friday afternoon traffic, and he has been looking forward to visiting his parents new home, He feel a little bit Guilty because hes been back for a few weeks but has not found the time to visit, His work had demanded so much of his time since he is new to his company. But tonight he is hoping that he could make his parents happy, It’s been a really long time since they had a real family dinner, they’ve been visiting him often in the city the past weeks, but it is always a very short time, but this time he will spend the weekend with them. He is
