Chapter 3 3

"Hey, darlinggg," Mirabelle said as soon as Risa opened the door.

Risa's eyebrows were lowered and pulled closer together, the inner corners of her eyebrows were angled. The corners of their mouth were also drawn down.

"Risa I don't like the look on your face come on don't let what that chicken said to get to you," Mirabelle said as she reached out for Risa's hands and held them.

"Alright " Risa sniffled

"Don't tell me you've been crying" Mirabelle quaried taking a good look at her eyes, and her face.

"You're such a cry baby you ought to know aren't a slut and I know so too a lot of people know that too so please, " Mirabelle said wiping the tear that had dropped from Risa's eyes.

"So how was wor--- " Risa's phone rang.

"Hey how are you," Risa said as soon as she picked up.

"I'm fine I just called to know if you got home safely" He replied.

"Oh, do you normally call the slut who hooked up with you to know if they've gotten home?" Risa half yelled.

"Give that to me" Mirabellee jeered

Risa shook her head in disagreement and Mirabelle gave her a questioning look, Risa had to give in.

"You're very shameless I don't want to see you around my bestie again else-" Mirabellee jeered

"But it's not what you think"He tried to explain.

"Oh shut up you aren't even trying to apologize don't call these digits again" Mirabelle yelled and hung up.

"Let's make something good out of today where do we go?" Mirabelle asked.

* * *

"I really don't know where my mum found this cute guy he's been nice like we've been dating for about two weeks," Risa said, her cheeks turning red.

"And I haven't met him yet" Mirabelle chortled.

"You would get to meet him sooner okay ?" Risa said and continued working on her laptop.

"But it's not fair you remember it didn't take up to a week before you met my boyfriend," Mirabelle rolled her eyes.

"Yeah I know and I'm sorry about that" She replied, putting her laptop away.

"Yes, come in," Risa said as she turned to look at Celine who was holding a bouquet of red roses.

Risa and Mirabelle turned to look at each other.

"And who is this for?" Mirabelle and Risa said in unison.

"Err it's for Risa I guess you are going to go on a date today anyways you would get the details in the card attached to it" Celina with her lips curled up in a broad smile

"Aww that's so cute, "Mirabelle said trying to make Risa blush more

Risa Stood up to take the flower from Celine.

"Thank you. You can go " she replied with her lips curled up in a beautiful broad smile and brought the flowers close to her nose, she inhaled the scent of the flowers. It was just as a perfectly choreographed ballet.

"They are pretty " Mirabelle complemented.

"Yeah they're" Risa replied dropping the flowers beside her laptop

"Let's see what this says " she replied picking the note attached to the flowers

"Hey, beautiful You have 5 surprises so 4 more to go. Be ready by 8 o'clock for the next one " Risa read aloud and her face turned red like that of the roses.

"Aww so romantic, "Mirabelle said, putting both hands on her cheeks

"You're just too dramatic "Risa chuckled.

"He just texted"

"Yayyy I would be going on a date with him by 8"o" clock I can't wait," Risa screamed joyfully

"So babe you need to go home as early as 5"o" clock so that you could have time to get dressed and prepare other things, "Mirabelle said picking up her bag and getting ready to leave

"You are leaving already?" Risa asked

"Yeah I got to go "

"By the way put on a red gown it shouldn't be soo long ok?" Mirabelle winked.

"Yes ma'am" Risa replied and they both giggled.

* * *

Risa drove into the restaurant, happy that there were few cars parked in the restaurant she walked in really calmly.

She was putting on a red Iman dress and red platform heels, light makeup, and a red square purse as well

She saw him sitting on a chair directly in the middle of the restaurant

"You look stunning," He said a soon as she sat down

"Thanks" She blushed

"Sometimes I wonder why you had to leave heaven you seriously look like a fallen angel"He replied

"Hey, Chris stop it have you ever seen an angel?"She replied still blushing

"Yeah I've seen one "He replied with a really serious look on his face

"Seriously where"Risa's eyes widened

"Well she's sitting right in front of me " He replied pointing at Risa.

"Chris" Risa chuckled.

"Well it's true" He replied

"Can you be serious for once" Risa said smiling.

"I'm serious though place your orders," Chris said handing the menu over to Risa.

"Alright," Risa blushed and took the menu from him, and looked at it carefully.

"I guess creme brûlée and sushi will do," She said to the waiter waiting to take orders she turned to look at Chris

"How about you," Risa asked.

"Well same thing" Chris replied pouring himself and Risa Pineapple juice.

"Ok, sir"The waiter replied and left immediately.

"Thanks," Risa said and seeped her juice.

After eating and having cheerful talks, Risa felt it was time to go home.

"It's really late already and I don't like late-night driving," Risa said with her lips angle downwards and the tone of her voice sounded like that of a child.

"It's okay babe you can spend the night at my place" Chris replied holding her chin to make her look at his face.

Risa's eyes met with his and he held her gaze. Chris moved closer till his lips touched Risa's lips making her body tingle And she closed her eyes.

"I'm sorry here's your bill," the waiter said dropping a note on the table.

Risa and Chris separated quickly. Risa just looked hard on the floor feeling embarrassed.

"Umm alright "Chris replied and made payments.

* * *

Risa and Chris walked into a dark room

"It's dark here, "Risa said as she held Chris's hand tighter.

"It's alright" He replied as he turned on the lights using a remote control.

"What a nice sitting room you've got here" Risa replied as she turned around almost 360 degrees just to study the living room.

It was an empire-styled living room it had a table that has a central foot with a large square profile, enhanced with columns and gold detailing; armchairs and sofas share the same design styles with wide seats and backs and arms of the same height.

The furnishing line had shades of walnut and elm veneer, created with materials that had an excellent aesthetic result together with prime quality fabrics.

"Thanks, babe"He replied and pulled her closer with the aid of her shoulders and planted a kiss on Risa's forehead

Risa blushed

"Hmm-- hmm-- hmm" Risa pretended to have cleared her throat

"Umm, would you like to stay in my room or?" Chris asked as he took few steps backward

"I guess the guest room will do"Risa replied trying to avoid Chris's eye contact

"Alright let me show you" Chris replied as he stretched his hands towards the door in the living room

"This way please"He added and bowed his head slightly like a palace guard

"Oh please, "Risa said waving her hands and giggled

They both walked into a dreamy spring bedroom, it had a playful bedspread that provides an easy jumping-off point to inspire other design elements, like a chippy vintage whitewashed bed that gives soul to the room and keeps feminine prints from feeling too prim, it had bold textiles pop against neutral wood paneling, and unexpected accents like a vintage hat mold on the table make that made the space feel truly personal.

"It's so pre--"before Risa could complete her statement there was a thunder strike Risa hugged Chris and pressed him against herself tightly.

Chris didn't know how to react they were so close that he could feel her firm breast against his chest. Chris held her to himself slowly.

"Babe are you okay ?"He asked as he used one of his to rub her path her hair gently.

She didn't say a word rather she nodded her head in approval.

Chris kissed her hair and Risa released herself from his grip.

"I guess I would leave now I'm downstairs if you need anything you can call on me," Chris said and walked out of the room

When Risa felt he had left completely she entered the bathroom and took a hot shower, and tied the towel she found there, and went downstairs.

"Chris umm can I possibly get your sweatshirt?"Risa said standing at the doorpost.

"Sure you could go to my room to check for it I guess I left three on my chair" Chris replied still working on his laptop.

"Chris where's your room?"Risa asked biting her thumbs softly.

"It's onn--"Chris said as he turned to Risa

"Err you look tempting" Chris smirked

"Just tell me I'm cold you know it's raining, "Risa said rolling her eyes and wrapping herself up with her arms

"Well err its op--posite your- your room"He managed to say.

Risa didn't say a word she just nodded and walked away.
