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.
In an apartment in the upper east side of Manhattan, Matthew is getting ready to go back to the same club where she met lola, hoping she is a regular at the place, he has no way of knowing if she is, because last time he was there was his first time to go, He just got back in the country after many years of working abroad. And last week he only decided to go clubbing because he was jet lagged and couldn’t sleep. Hopefully lola will be there. Thought of seeing her again made him smile.
When Lola arrived in Manhattan she went for a little window shopping first and walked around, she seems to feel more nervous than usual, and she doesn’t want that to show she needs to look confident and feel confident or else she will not be able to go through her plan. So she walked and walked until she was calm enough it was almost midnight when she finally entered the bar. She didn’t want to look so obvious that she is looking for someone, so she headed straight to where she was situated last time at the far corner of the bar and luckily it was not crowded in that area and a few stools were available. So she sat down and ordered a drink, and she raised her martini glass to take a sip, she scanned the room quickly, to her disappointment the guy is nowhere in sight, well maybe he is not a regular after all, or maybe he is not yet here, if she remembers it right it was already almost 2 am the last time she decided to leave the bar that is when he picked him up. Maybe a little later. Or maybe never! Her disappointment is getting really serious, what if she never sees him again, will she have to start looking for a new guy all over again, but he is already perfect, he wants to take the chance with this guy, he felt positive about him. She decided to stay a little bit longer and take her chances, she went easy with he drinking she doesn’t want to get accidentally drunk again, she walked around a bit smiled and turned down anyone who tried to hit on her, she is no longer looking for just any man, he already found the one, but what is she gonna do if she never meets him again, she knows where he lives, but she can’t go knocking at his door, can she? The guy was nice, but she doesn’t know anything about him at all, she is interested with him physically only, nothing else. She doesn’t want to start all over again, but what can she do if she doesn’t see him again. Time seem to have gone quite fast and it is already past midnight, maybe she should start heading out already, she can book an Uber now and just wait for it outside.
Matthew was sitting at a dark corner of the bar close to the entrance where he can watch Lola. He’s been in that corner since he arrived, and he watched her come in a little after he came in, she looks really pretty like before but today she is a bit more put together, she had some light make up on, she seem to have no interest in anyone, he saw a few tried to hit on her but she is quick to dismiss them, His curiosity has been aroused, he wants to know her a little bit more, For sure she wont dismiss him like the others if he approaches her, She owes her at least for getting her out of trouble last time.
He decided to just watch her her for a while and wait for the right time to approach.
Lola was calling the bar tender for last drink and to pay her bill when she heard a familiar voice behind him. “hi nice to see you here again and I’m glad you’re not too drunk yet”. He said to try to struck a light conversation. She felt something light up inside her, and it made her smile. She turned around and flashed her best smile. But she was not able to say anything at all, she just raised the martini in her hand and took a sip, Matthew told the bar tender to put the ladies Tab under his. Which the young guy agreed to do, and he took Matthew’s card. He then turned to lola who is still a bit seem to be star struck by his presence. He asked her if she’s been there for a while which she finally managed to answer. “Not yet very long, fancy seeing you here again “ she said. This made him smile. They talked for a while and drinked some more, and lola realized she doesn’t have a plan on how to go about the next step, she’s been flirting a bit, but she doesn’t know what to do next. So she just sat there and hoping that the guy would make a move, but as of the moment he is just plain friendly. What should she do now.
She waved for another drink, hoping this will numb her a little maybe she can make the move. But Matthew stood up and told the guy in the bar that that would be all for the night. And gestured to Lola to take his arm and walk outside, which she gladly obliged.
Once they were outside, He offered to take her to one of the restaurant in the area for a very late dinner, She gladly agreed to go, she just realize she haven’t had dinner too.
“I’ll treat you to dinner and have a proper drink of wine, in return you have to tell me something about you” he said, she just smiled back. They ended up at a nice cozy Italian restaurant, where they a simple pasta dish and a glass of wine, she could hardly eat her meal her stomach is in knots she is starting to feel nervous again. So she concentrated on her wine. “Well, now you can tell me more about you were almost done with dinner.” Tell me what what you want to know” she replied” She reminded herself not to give so much information since this is a temporary thing only, if possible just go ahead and lie.
“Well, since I already know you name how about more information, where in the city are you from, what are the things that interest you? Anything under the sun just give me something!” He said. Actually I don’t give much information about me to strangers, but since you seem to be a nice person, and of course I owe you for taking care of me last time and now I owe you a dinner, I will let you call me by my name, alright? Is that a deal? “And you can call me by my name as well! That is a deal” he replied. He seem to understand that she doesn’t want to give out any personal information at all. And she felt relieved. They finished their food and paid the bill and headed back out in the street. He asked if he needs to call for a ride for her, and she replied she can book one for herself, now she is panicking she can’t go home now, what if this is her only chance, what is she gonna do? She pretended to check her phone and pulled up the uber app, if things don’t go well she will again be on an uber ride back home with nothing. She raised her eyes and was about to say she will book an uber, when Matthew suddenly grabbed her by the waist and pulled her up for a quick kiss on the lips, he smiled at him and she smiled back, they hailed a taxi and Matthew gave him his address, the taxi ride back to Matthews place was quite and tense but filled with anticipation. Her heart is pounding so loud she can almost hear it.
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
It is already Friday afternoon and Lola has been anxiously waiting for a message or a call from Matthew but until this moment she has not received any. She is feeling a bit annoyed and frustrated with herself for expecting the man to keep in touch with her, he doesn’t know her at all, and it was just sex, nothing special at all, a one night stand, and she reminded herself that one night stand doesn’t get repeated, that is why it is called as such. And why is she bothered by him not messaging, she already got what she wanted, all she needs to do now is wait if she got pregnant from the encounter.
Katie has been up early, she actually decided to go out for a jog she decided to jog to Bedford street and pass by the coffee shop, hoping that Matthew and her mom will be there this morning because she heard her last night talking about taking him for coffee in the shop in the morning, she didn’t know that Mrs Adler was a regular at the cookie cutter. Anyway she planned on going to the shop and hang out a little bit just in case they would go. So it would be like a chance meeting. She smiled at the thought. Here she goes again with her teenagers moves, She feels a bit embarrassed with the thought, But “what the heck” she thought, who can blame her, she’s a woman in love. So she set out towards the shop, in her very fitted yoga suite, s
