The Raging Storm

Seem's like we'll be having a bit of a rainy day today, I slide out of bed as quietly as I could so I don't wake Dastan, after I shower and brush my teeth I head down to the kitchen to make us some breakfast, it is something I've grown accustomed to over the years, this routine of ours.It's been Six years, since Dastan and I met at the Dolici Restaurant one evening while I was picking up my take out, he came over to me after I paid and was about to turn to leave when I felt him tap me gently on my shoulder.FLASHBACK ( Six Years Ago )Excuse me, Miss I am sorry to approach you like this but I just wanted to tell you that you're so elegant and beautiful, I just had to let you know and if you don't mind me asking your name, I am a regular at this restaurant and I've never seen you here before.At first I was appalled slightly, I mean yes I've had countless men approach me over the years, most of which had ulterior motives like trying to use me to get close to my family to advance thems

Papa, I thought we agreed on the weekend! you ran away!My princess said she had something for me, of course I'd want to see it straight away! and this one tagged along too.I peer past my dad seeing Frederick standing sheepish behind him Freddie! I hug him, and he blushes while returning my hug hello Sorie he uses my pet name he insists on being the only one to call me that since we were kids.You ran away with dad too! he's becoming a bad influence on you! does auntie Jane and uncle Bert know where you are?He clears his throat I am an adult you know Sorie.I give him the raised eyebrow I mastered from my mom, so they don't know you ran away with my dad then, got it! anyway I assume you'd both be staying the night so let's head up and I'll make us some dinner.They follow me into the elevator and up to my condo, welcome to you both please make yourselves at home, I need to get dinner started but I'm sure you both need to freshen up so let me show you to the guest rooms first.Lead t

Stormie it's time for lunch!Oh! I'll be right there!Are you ordering in or going out? we all feel like dining at the restaurant, how about we all go together?Okay, well let's call ahead and secure a table and order ahead, so when we get there we won't have to wait as long.And that's why we love you so much, you're like our mama bird, thinking ahead for us! let's do that then.I take everyone’s order and place the call securing the table and food, the drinks we'd decide on when we get there. We tend to lock the gallery when we leave for lunch for obvious reasons and make our way to the restaurant.Good afternoon Stormie, we have your table ready for you and your friends, please this wayThank you Regina!Once we settle into our seats we order our drinks and one of the girls tease you must really come here a lot for the waitress to recognize you like that, or is it you're a heavy tipper? she wags her eyebrows at me and I snicker while shaking my head at her.I happen to be a pleasan

THE NEXT DAYHave the flowers and note been sent as I requested?Yes sir, they should be there shortlyThanks, that will be allI have come to realize that she is a strong head or strong willed woman, I will need to soften her up by being sentimental and thoughtful, coming on strongly will only make her detest me, I am a man who get's my way by any means and this woman will be no different, I have gone as far as changing my approach for her surely she will see my effort to get to know her and decide to give me a chance and once I have the chance that's all I'd need and slowly I will mould her into my ideal woman.I leave my phone and head to a meeting, I smile to myself when I get back to my office to find a text from her saying thank you for the flowers and the note on the card was very sweet of me and I smirk, perfect.... you're welcome, how is your day so far?... it's pretty good, thank you for asking how about yours?... fairly hectic, have quite a few meetings today... okay, w

I’m standing and watching Dastans car slow to a stop just outside of my gallery, it’s finally time for us to have our lunch date after Three months of him trying to court me, Mercedes kept telling me I’ve set my walls and standard up too high, if only she knew precisely how high the standards are for my dad, dear God, I wonder if he’d approve, anyway let’s not get ahead of ourselves Storm, we don’t even know where this thing is going to go, let’s just get through lunch today first.He steps out of the car and smiles at me hello beautiful, hello yourself Dastan! He chuckles and extends his hand to me ready to go? Indeed I am, good then shall we? He motions to the awaiting car, I walk over and slide into the back seat and he closes the door and walks around to the other side and slides in next to me.Sorry for not driving myself to pick you up, I’ve had a long flight and didn’t want to take the chance to get behind the wheel while tired, well semi tired as I caught a nap on the jet afte
