Chapter 1
Christine’s P.O.V
…Walking into the restaurant was the moment it all began...
No agreeing to go on another blind date for the eight time was what started it all,
I had deliberately waited extra twenty minutes in my SUV perhaps he would have gone back to the hell he was coming from.
This I promised myself will be the last time I would be coming for any blind date, especially one set up by my parents , I am only doing this cos mum said this was a
major contract, probably I’d try to tell him to get lost nicely, just so i don’t destroy the contract... or i could probably make a deal with him if that will put an end to all this madness, if not I’ll just tell him to go straight to hell that i have a boyfriend. Although I want to tell my boyfriend to go to blazes too but then the devil you know is better than the angel you don’t know. That’s if you can call those clingy guys angels, anyway I call them pests.Josiah Steele or whatever his name I just don’t care.
I walked into the restaurant feeling disgusted and annoyed, gosh I should be spending my time on a better stuff than this fuck
“damn it”
I muttered as I looked towards table four and saw him seated there his full attention on his phone sitting like someone here to while away the time.
Taking a deep breath I walked closer to the table and unlike every other time I felt a tiny feeling that this will go better than I thought, then I slid into the seat opposite him. After sitting down idle for almost two minutes and his whole attention was still on his phone, I had no choice i tapped lightly on the table clearing my throat at the same time, this caught his attention cause then he spoke still not looking up from his phone
“you’re late”
wow what the fuck is this? Fine I’m late but I have been here for almost five minutes and the first thing he says is shit, huhn
'you promised to make this better than other dates'
my minds warns as i was about to reply angrily ,taking a deep breath i sat down quietly, just then a waiter walked over to us great i thought he would look up now i thought with a smile playing on my lips
“Afternoon ma’am and sir, would you like to order now?”
he asked and i waited for a minute expecting him to at least respond to the waiter but then he didn’t even spare a glance and neither did he respond to the waiter’s question
“aren’t you going to order?”
i asked slowly... no response gosh this guy is just too annoying
“we’ll signal to you later if we want to order”
I said as nicely as i could to the waiter who simply nodded and walked away, gosh all he had been doing since i got here is type on his phone laugh and type again. What the hell? I would happily sit here and watch him laugh all day, his laugh sounds so masculine and it kinda makes me wish he was laughing with me. Gosh, whats wrong with me? okay promise or not, I won’t just sit here and watch him type and laugh. I have to get outa here before i start falling for him I thought and then decided to call his attention again but then what do i say to him? hi sounds ridiculous so does hello, or should I go with hey? I think that suits him better.
Gosh I muttered as i pondered on what to say, after almost five minutes of composing speeches, i had composed so many questions and answers that i began to wonder if I was going to an interview. I carefully got up from my seat went over yo him, snatched his phone and went back to my place across him. Fortunately... No unfortunately that achieved my aim cos then he shifted his gaze to me and i almost regretted my action there and then cos everything in my head flew out the window including my well composed speech, he is the cutest devil i have ever seen, I tried searching my memories if i have ever seen someone as handsome as this but I can’t even think straight, his eyebrows were furrowed in a frown but he was still so yummy , his dark blue eyeballs were gazing intently at me but he looked devilishly cute, his brows were furrowed in a frown but he was still so handsome.
“can I have my phone back?"
he said and i found myself lost in his voice
