The Lady in Red A lone lover
Chapter One.Aurora's POV*I hurriedly applied the finishing touches to my almost-perfected makeup and took a long stare at my reflection in the mirror. The person that stared right back at me was all shades of beauty and perfection, unlike the person on the other side of the mirror. I took out my phone and was about to dial a number when I heard a loud horn just outside my window. I quickly took my purse from my bedside table and walked majestically down the stairs, and over to the door, opened it slowly, and stood transfixed on the spot. Right in front of me was a long shiny spotless black limousine, and a handsome man with a perfectly tailored black suit standing beside it. His lips were moving but I was too busy checking him out to listen to whatever he had to say.He smiled patiently and said it again, this time a little bit louder than before."Miss Richards?" he asked with a brief flicker of the eyelid. "Oh my God, did he just flirt with me?" my senses came back that insta

Chapter TwoI can’t imagine how we managed to reach safely in one piece after that insane episode of ‘reckless driving with Pete.' If there was something worse than a terrible driver, that would be Pete. He had zero understanding of road signals and whenever I try pointing it out to him, I was sure to be slandered by him. Correcting him was pointless so I made sure to stay in my lane and avoid having a verbal battle with him.‘Okay, we are here now?’ he said with a straight face ‘Are you not going to get the door' I asked innocently. ‘Get the door for you? Do you not have hands my darling? He asked with a stern face and deep tone laced with anger.‘Okay, let’s not make this an issue. You are upset so how about we talk about whatever it is later after my test.’ I tried kissing him but he quickly turned away his face. ‘See ya later Aurora and thanks for the ride, Pete.' Catherine said and hopped out of the car almost immediately. I should have followed suit but I figured I should fi

Chapter Three.The weekend came so fast with me seeing less of Pete and less of Mr. Stranger. Pete did a good job of avoiding me the few times I saw him in school. He never called me, when I called, it went straight to voicemail which he never responded to. I pretended to be okay about it at first but deep down, I was starting to get worried. I knew he was eventually leaving me for good this time. We've had a few brawls in the past but none has ever left such an indelible mark on me. The experience I had this past week was one I would never forget in a hurry. The trauma alone... Oh God!"I have to call him," I said out loud and before I could allow my head to process the thought, I was already dialing his number."Please pick up Pete" I was pacing up and down my small room while my heart keep thumping loud, threatening to fall off my chest. First, second, and third ring and there was no response. My feelings were clouded with intensified thoughts of losing him.Catherine pushed op

The only thoughts in my head were those of Pete and how he was going to lose both balance and focus the minute he sets his eyes on me. I had a lacy red slightly below the bum insanely hot dress on with very high silver stiletto heels and of course, lots of silver accessories. Catherine did my makeup as she insisted that I needed to own the show and in her own words, show Pete exactly what he would have missed with his cowardice." I couldn't fathom how she was so quick to attribute Pete's actions to cowardice not like I was going to challenge the statement because, yunno my flawless face-beat was not something I was willing to risk over Catherine's extremely wild temper. "Now turn around and tell me what you see girl," She said while swirling my chair around to face the mirror. To say I was speechless was an understatement, the face that stared back at me was not mine. A few drops of tears fell before I could hold them in. This was the closest I've ever been to perfection. "Do I se

Chapter FiveThe voice that came on next was the most melodious I've ever heard. The intense undisguised passion underneath his tone made my eyes water. I was still drooling when Pete called me again, this time, shaking my shoulders a little. "What's wrong with you Aurora?" He asked with a stern face and a very low voice that I could barely hear. "I don't understand Pete, what are you trying to say?" I asked with all innocence. Next thing I knew, I was being dragged out of the hall like a child, and with my super uncomfortable heels, I struggled to maintain my balance when he finally let go. "What's the meaning of this, Pete?" I asked with anger written all over my face. As far as I was concerned, the only thing I did wrong was admiring a hot guy with a nice voice which was not wrong at all compared to what Pete did the ladies on campus. "You slut! How dare you embarrass me in front of everybody." Pete snapped angrily. The right response eluded me and I stood staring helplessly an

His name was Raymond but he preferred being called 'Ray' by his closest pals because according to him, Ray sounded much more cool and befitting for a handsome hot guy like him.He was also funny, smart, and very thoughtful. We sat in the car for a very long time and while at it, I unburdened my heart to him in a way I had never done with anyone, not even with Catherine. He was very understanding and occasionally rubbed my back gently while I was ranting to him. We took a walk thereafter while he devoted his time to telling me stories that made me laugh so hard like never before. Before long, I was feeling like a different person and there were little or no troubled memories left from the previous event.As we drove home, Ray played Johnny Drille's songs and we sang along at the top of our voices. I found out that we had similar tastes in music and a whole lot of other things. When we got to the driveway that led to our apartment, he stopped the car, turned off the music, and started

The Lady in Red A night with a stranger
We got to his house faster than I expected and I was a bit pleased to discover that his place was not quite far from mine.His apartment was cozy and tastefully furnished with cream paintings and well decorated walls. The whole place screamed class and the art paintings on the wall said the same too."Welcome to my humble abode." He said, placing enough emphasis on "humble." I laughed quietly and then responded;"Your house is beautiful and trust me, there's nothing humble about this place." I replied and he flashed a smile in return, sat on the cushion and started untying his shoe lace, apparently in a bid to pull it off. "Should I pull mine off as well?" I asked with curiosity."Of course, what were you thinking?" He asked with a stony solid expression. "Oh, Okay." I responded and stared down at my heels. I didn't like waking barefooted but this wasn't my place and I sure wasn't in a place to call the shots. As soon as I bent over in an attempt to unzip the first shoe, he burst ou
