2024-10-29 19:42:56HER POV
Fastforward to Year 2020
Teett.. My message alert sounded.
Woow, so sexy. Sir Dan, a friend of mine commented. He sent me a photo I just uploaded in my Instapix. I was lying on my stomach on the sand with one foot up and wearing my two piece bikini.
Haha... Just a day out with my cousins at the beach.
And here's another one! Sir Dan sent another message right after I uploaded a photo of me standing in the two piece bikini turning my back to the camera and raising my arms to the sky.
Haha. I'm single, ready to mingle that's why. I responded to his message while laughing aloud at his fast reaction to my photos.
Hmmm... I might have someone to recommend. Another message from him.
Hahaha. Sure. I'm ready to accept recommendations. I'm starting to feel giddy.
I'm not kidding. - Dan
Neither am I. Bring it on! I typed and sent.
Maybe he thought I was kidding because of my "ha-ha" but I could try this style of accepting recommendation if I could indeed find true love. I'm tired of constantly having short termed relationships from guys I meet at dating sites.
So what is your criteria? Age preference? - he texted again.
Hmmm... Age is not problem..not too young.. I'm more already an adult, I guess that's what matters.. hahaha
I want two-in-one, a driver and a sweet lover. I added.
I'm not choosy with faces..Smiles always bring out beauty with everyone.. and very important, he can pass the scrutiny of Madam C! Hahahaha I couldn't really think of what I prefer. I like men who are smart. I find brilliance sexy. Madam C is my common friend with Sir Dan who is in her 70's. I adored that lady like a second mother. She is elegant and graceful and nothing passes her eyes when it comes to people's bearing. Because of her, Sir Dan and I were able to work in the same company before I transferred to my current one.
Hahaha. That was all he could respond. I think I have a person in mind.
It took 3 days for Sir Dan to get back at me.
Hi. I think I found a match for you. I can't believe what I was reading.
Woow! That was fast! I replied to his message.
Can I have a sneak peek? haha. I also wanted to know something about the guy before meeting him.
Sir Dan forwarded a link to the guy's instapix portfolio. Looking at the link alone, I can already know the profession.
Ohh my.. A lawyer! I sent to Sir Dan my reply. So many thoughts seem to run in my mind but nothing in particular actually. Like everything suddenly became jumbled. I had a view of his face. A bit mature but still good looking.
Of course! What do you think I'd send a cheap guy? haha I can sense he was excited also for this tandem.
Hahahaha. So what is his marital status? A very important question for me. I don't want to ruin a family and at his age and with his looks, he can't be a bachelor still.
Separated. That was the reply I got.
Legally? my follow up question. I don't want anyone pulling my long hair when I'm already dating the guy.
Not sure. Sir Dan said.
Uh oh! Someone might just pull my long beautiful hair one day. hahah. I tried to put in a joke my actual fear.
No. He and his wife had been estranged for a long time. Almost 10 years not living together. Sir Dan explained his situation.
I see. So I presume they have kids. Have the kids accepted their fate? I tried to know more the safety zone.
Yes. An short immediate response.
I don't want to have the same fate as my aunt. She was the other woman of someone. Although they lived together and had a kid, she wasn't secured of her lovelife. I didn't mention anymore my dad who had another woman and ruined our family's life.
Do I know your aunt? Sir Dan asked.
Probably. She was quite famous during her younger years. Do you know the beautiful lady in Galaxy Cinema House? - . Me texting
Hmm. The lady with a fair skin and long black hair? - Sir Dan
Bingo! No other. ;) - I sent my response with a winking smiley.

The big clock ticked five times. It was the signal that work was over for the day. I've been feeling excited since the time I woke up knowing and hoping that something was about to happen to my forlorn lovelife. I can't count anymore how many time I have glanced at my wrist watch hoping that second hand would go a little faster. After the day's hustle and bustle, here I am at the ladies' room touching up my makeup a bit. Not that I needed much. Just refreshing my lipstick and powder and there I was ready to go and meet my ...destiny? Teeet..Teeet.. A message, came in into my phone. I'd be a little late than our agreed time, ok? - It was my friend Sir Dan who was texting. . No problem. So long as you are sure he will bring me home later. Haha - I texted back. Yes, he will. Sure enough, I arrived at the agreed restaurant before Sir Dan and I guess, also the guy that I was suppose to meet. Uhh no! What should I do? It was a small cozy steak house which was quite famous in
The Story of Us Chapter 4 - Bringing Me Home
Her POV After two hours of eating, joking, story-telling, and paing the bill, Sir Dan stood up and bid us goodbye. "Elderly people needs to sleep early because we wake up early," he said and winked at us. "Provi you would know your way through the rural area at South Bay, right? "He asked his friend. "It's, ok.. If I get lost, there's Waze!" Mr. Dalton stood up as well but he waited for me to follow after Sir Dan. "You see Des, my friend had been in England the past 8 years. There had been a lot of changes in the city already So I hope he doesn't get lost." "I guess I can help with the directions on the way home but coming back, he can just give us a call if he gets lost. "I said giving a sheepish grin. The three of us walked to the parking area together. Suddenly, Sir Dan let out a low whistle. "Wooow! Is that the latest model from BMW? " Sir Dan was really amused by the mettalic gray car before him. "Yes, it just came out a week ago," Mr. Dalton gave a smirk looking
The Story of Us Chapter 5 - Seeing Again
His POV That girl! She just stole a kiss from me and suddenly walked off. Not that I was looking forward to more action. I tried to be a gentleman and kissed only her forhead and she kissed me on the lips! I don't kiss girls on the lips on the first date. And that wasn't even a date. It was just a dinner with my friend, Dan. I sounded my horn to signal her I was on my way back. She turned her head, smiled, and waved. As she entered the gates of the village, I also turned the car around to go back home. Home. The place where I live to eat, sleep, work, and study. It was big but actually empty. Yeah, my mother and my son lives there with me and I have a few maids to do the chores. However, I haven't slept with anyone in my soft king-size bed since we came back ten years ago. I haven't had anyone to scrub my back in that marble tub that I had installed. To my friends, I may be a playboy so they refer girls to me left and right, one after another. But they were only for dating. So
The Story of Us Chapter 6 - Encountering my Ex
Her POV He brought me to a restaurant he said he and his friends frequently go to. There were'nt much people there now as it was still early. So we got our order fast. It was a pretty quick breakfast as I had to go to my office. After eating, he drove me to my office. "Okay, thank you. " I said shyly. I closed the door and turned around, breathed in heavily and pounded my fist in the air, exclaiming a semi audible YES! The door opened again and almost hit me. "Your phone!" He handed it to me. " Ohhh, thank you." "Are you free tonight?" He asked before I got to close the door again. "Yes, I can be out by 5 p.m." "Wait for me, Let's have dinner together tonight without Dan." "Okay." I nodded in agreement."See you tonight then." The goood start of the day brought along with it positive vibes throught out. Time passed fast. I wouldn't have noticed it was time to leave the office if not for a message coming in. "Dear, I'll be waiting for you at the parking area. I brought
The Story of Us Chapter 7 - My Close Relatives
His POVOf all people to meet tonight, it had to be my spoiled nephew and his girlfriend."Uncle Provi, we didn't know you were in town already! Mom, will be happy to see you!""No need to inform her. If she needs anything she can call me as she always does." I gave a cold stare at him and his girl while guiding Des gently with my other arm to enter the door. Gen held unto my other hand and stopping me."Uncle, " He wanted to protest of some sort but I stopped him from talking further."I have a date tonight. I don't want to make her wait for long. Please, let's talk another time. I took his hand off my arm and went after Des into the private dining room. While taking my seat, I noticed Des to be uncomfortable and looking pitiful. "Are you alright?" I asked her."Yeah, just I feel like puking earlier.""We haven't done anything intimate, are you already pregnant?" I tried to look serious but my smirk that turned into a chuckle gave me away. "Stop kidding me Provi. Just I don't like
The Story of Us Chapter 8 - My Ex
Her POV After dinner, Provi got his driver to bring us home. He kissed my forhead again before letting me out of the car. Provi opened the window on his side and I waved at him and sent a flying kiss before walking towards my front door. I threw myself into the couch and massaged my temples. All the riedness of the day weighed heavily on my shouldes. I had tried my best to calm down after the encounter with my ex, his girlfriend, and his mother. How unfortunate that the man I was seeing now is actually a close relative of theirs. OR.... It may be a blessing ni disguise that I can actually make a revenge on those very mean people. Just as I was thinking of those people, my phone suddenly rang. I got the phone out of my bag thinking it must be Provi. However, I noticed it was an unregistered number. I don;t usually like talking to strangers and I don't like this kind of prank from my friends. I pressed the END CALL button. After placing the phone on the table top, it rang again.
The Story of Us Chapter 9 - The Real Owner
"Are you awake, dear?" "Do you have work today?""Let's go to the beach!" One message after another came in as I turned on my phone. Before I replied Provi, I remembered to block the number that Gen used last night to contact me."I just woke up :) " I sent Provi a response."Good morning dear :-* " He was quick to respond and added a kiss smiley at the end of his message."Where does that kiss land?" I teased him."Anywhere you want!" "Ok, anywhere then except my lips! Haha.. I haven't gotten up yet to even brush my teeth!" "Well that would be interesting to kiss you anywhere other than your lips!" He responded. Wwwait whattt? I was suppose to tease him but it seems it's the way around now.If I could blush I would have. I drastically changed the topic."Today is a holiday so there's no work although I'd be doing remote online presence in case of emergency,"I informed him."So you can be anywhere as long as there is internet, right?""Yes! And... the beach sounds perfect!" "Ok
The Story of Us Chapter 10 - Water Can't Blend with Oil
Her POV Provi walked up ahead of me and held my hand as we climb the stairs. Upon reaching the landing, we leaned on the ledge of the balcony and looked out at the sea. It was too bright because the sun had long time risen. He grabbed his phone from his pocket and showed me an App. "Look, it is low tide already. If we go to the water now, it will be far off shore.""And the sun will scorch our skin!" I completely agreed it wasn't a good time to go near the beach. "Let's go inside and get some drink. My throat feels parched already," He keyed in some numbers on the lock and the door swung open. He led me inside to a minibar. "So, what do you feel like having?""Anything, without alcohol!""Why not?" There was that teasing look in his face again. "I wonder how you are when you are drunk!" He laughed. "Wonder no more. It's nothing exciting. I only fall asleep." I laughed as well. Then his phone started ringing. "I'm sorry Dear, I have to take this call.""No problem!" I said smil

His POVMy ordered food arrived in short while. I loved this Chinese restuarant Chao Min in this area because not only of their great flavorful food but also they are very prompt to deliver. Steam and aroma was coming off from the food. I could see Des was excited to pounce on it as she rushed to the kitchen to prepare our utensils."Ohh my! Why did you order so much just for the two of us?! " Her eyes were a mirror of amazement."I thought you might want to eat a dragon after seeing those two!" I chuckled."Maybe. But this isn't a meal. This is a feast!" she went back to the kitchen to get glasses, " What drink do you like Provi?" I love hearing my name from her sweet mouth."A sparkling soda will do, thanks."She came back with two cans, two glasses and a pitcher of water. How she did that, I cannot explain but she handled them all well with her two hands....And a tray! "Mmmmm..Smells so good! Can we pray now?" She looked at me grinning like a kid brought to a themed park."Sur

"I'm sorry Des. I didn't even hear them coming." "It's ok, I was choosing a good channel to watch and wasn't able to to adjust the volume as well." I said grinning. I was no longer affected also as before by those two. "They must've thought I came here alone to steal some valuables!" I chuckled at how fast they accussed me. "I must have the password changed for all the locks." "That must have unnerved them because I know the right key combinations for the locks." "Did you get a drink? " He asked with concern. "Yeah, but I didn't get to finish the can and it's not cold now." "Don't worry, I'll order food for delivery. What do you feel like having now?" "Hmmm, Chinese noodles and seafood?" "Ok, I know just the perfect resto for that," he said while winking at me then dialing a number. "See, very fast right?" He looked at me as if seeking my approval. "Your every wish is my command,Darling." "Indeed! You must order from them frequently to know what is in every platter!"
