The Date

“You don't like the food?” Nixen's soft voice asked, breaking Mayeli from her deep thoughts.

He was looking as stunning as always in a simple, expensive-looking, Navy-blue straight trousers and white shirt. His straight black hair was left to fall slightly on his face making him look more handsome. Three of his buttons were left undone, exposing his well-built tanned chest. He looked ravishingly hot!

“I love it”, she replied, throwing him a quizzical look. Why had he asked?

Her thoughts had been on the event of last night, and she had probably phased out without knowing. Tears burned her eyelids as she recalled the memory. Killian and she had made love so passionately, relishing each other's comfort, and for a moment, she thought they could probably work out. But he left without a note or a goodbye. He left her like a cheap whore. 

And still, she had stared at her iPhone 14 pro almost a thousand times today, waiting for a text from him. How pathetic of her to think he was still her Killian. It was time for her to forget him.

“If you like it, then why aren't you eating? You don't have to eat what you don't want to. I can easily tell the chefs to make something better for you. Nixen's eyes studied her intently as he spoke the words. She felt bad for thinking of another man, while they were on a date.

“It's fine, I'm okay”.

He threw her a worried gaze which she returned with a cute smile, earning a blush from him. How much she loved his smile. 

It was Saturday, and they were having the date he had asked for in one of England's best restaurants, Erst. From the look of the empty room, safe for tMayr presence, she was sure he had rented the entire floor. How cute!

She had been thinking of turning him down, but after Friday night with Killian, she decided it was time to let go and move on with her life. She had a two-year-old daughter to take care of, and she wanted to be strong for her. She won't let Killian keep toiling around with her feelings just because he felt he could. How easily he went from professing feelings to breaking her, in the space of just a few hours.

Nixen stretched forward, and placed his hands on hers, rubbing gently.

“You know I'd do anything for you May?”

She smiled, not knowing what to say. Nixen had his way of flattering her heart.

Was she beginning to fall for Nixen? She had been battling with that question for a while now, not until Killian showed up three days ago.

Maybe it was time to give Nixen a chance. Maybe she could end up loving him the way he loved her. There was no way she could know this if she didn't try.

“Thank you”, she replied with a small smile.

Nixen's perfect eyebrows tilted slightly, and he bit into his pink lower lips, adjusting in his chair. She knew the words he was about to say, and surprisingly, she was ready to hear it.

“Mayeli, I don't mean to rush you into anything, but I was wondering if you kinda considered my proposal?” Gosh, does he always have to look so hot?

She tilted her glass of white wine a little, buying time. She hoped badly that she would not regret the words she was about to say. What's the point though? We only live once.

“Yes, Nixen, I considered your proposal, and I'm saying yes”.

He looked at her with his mouth slightly agape. He must have been expecting a no from her again.

“This means a lot to me Mayeli, I promise to be the best man for you”.

“Thank you”. She didn't deserve Nixen. He was too good for her.

“So I can call you babe now?”

She chuckled, nodding. It sounded strange to her too. The last man who called her babe was Killian.

They finished the dinner date with lots of banter and laughter. When they got to their car, they stood awkwardly staring at each other.

She was about to say something when Nixen stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her slender waist.

“Can I?” He asked in a sexy raspy voice, staring intently at her lips. His eyes held a hunger that shocked her.

She nodded, though she felt unsure. What was she holding back for? She asked herself.

Nixen cupped her face in his slender hands, and crashed his lips on hers, pulling her into a hungry kiss.

***

Killian squeezed his steering, anger blurring his vision, as he watched Nixen kiss Mayeli, his hands running over her bare back.

She was wearing a pink, long, backless evening dress, with a flowing cape on both sides and a slit that stopped just above her thighs. Her hair blonde was packed into a neat, high bun, exposing her long, slender neck. The one he had run his lips over the night before.

And now, she was in another man's arms. Head bent, hot, exposed legs slightly bent, and her hands hanging onto Nixen's shoulders.

Gosh, he was fucking losing it. She was in his fucken bed a night ago, and here she was making out with her boss? 

Did she not like him even a little bit? He had hoped that since she came yesterday, she probably felt what he felt, but he was wrong.

He had felt bad about leaving her without a word last night, but her denial had hurt him deeper than he thought. He didn't dare to face her with emotion raging inside him, after tMayr sex.

He had checked by her office for her home address, deciding to buy her flowers and apologize to her. When he got there, the little girl he saw her with yesterday had informed him that she went on a date with Uncle Nixen, amidst the strong rebuke from a beautiful middle-aged woman, who he believed to be Mayeli's Mom.

He had driven quickly to Erst, remembering Nixen's words about going on a date at Erst, though he didn't mention he was going out with Mayeli.

He shouldn't have come. It was probably the worst decision he had made in years.

He angrily started his blue Lamborghini and headed home. 

His phone beeped, and a message from one of his mistresses, Laura popped up.

“I miss you, Lian”.

He had been avoiding seeing his mistresses for a while now because Mayeli had been constantly on his mind. But now, he had nothing to lose.

Without hesitating, he turned the car and headed for Laura's mansion.
