Chapter 5

 

Ben was dressed in casual shirt and jeans. He looked upset trying to avoid Cassy. Anyhow she was texting him and making his life miserable.
Ben a tall man and attractive handsome man. Muscular body. He was 28 the same age as Tina. Every girl had a crush on him. His face resembled his mother Helena. Broad forehead wide light blue eyes, a little longer hair and always slightly trimmed facial hair. Also that little lot was his bad boy killer look as Tina would say and he suggested to him this style.
Taylor on the other hand was tall and slim. His eyes were the paragon of his entity. His formal set up self was the supposed killer look for Tina. He was handsome and perfectly courteous.


Right now tension was visible on Ben's face when he heard his phone rang. It was late afternoon and Tina was upset not getting answers for her texts from Ben. When Ben saw Tina calling he was relieved. "Where are you why aren't you answering my texts? Are you with someone If so then I'll call you back." Tina thought of Cassy. "No its just never mind hey whats up?" Ben tried to change the topic."I wanted your advice on something you mind if I come over to your home?" "Yeah sure I'm free and at home right now."

Tina told him about the big deal and Ben was laughing and joking with her on this matter. Then when finally he got serious after getting multiple hits from Tina. "Now tell me what should I wear and what shouldn't."

"When was the last time you went out with someone?"

"I think six months ago my date with Patrick ended up me punching him and I broke his jaw." She laughed recalling that incident.

"So he likes you and now he wants to go out with you interesting."Ben was determined to tease her.


''Since when did clothes matter to you my dear sweet Tina?'' ''You are a complete moron. Don't you dare come to me when you piss off one of your girlfriends. Remember this!'' Tina took her bag and was about to leave Ben's home. He came in front of her and the door grabbing her wrist. ''Okay let's be serious. We'll find a dress that will be to your standards as everything you wear is a dress may it be a towel merely.''
''Really? this is your serious.'' Tina was getting late it was four already and she was chit chatting with Ben and wasting more time.
Ben went to her house with her and she began to navigate her wardrobe.
''This.'' she said pointing a dress towards Ben.
''Nope.'' Ben was lying down on her bed.
''This.'' she said holding the dress up to her neck.
''Nope.'' Ben again disliked the other dress.
''This.'' Tina continued to take out as many dresses as she could and slowly slowly there was a huge pile of clothes on her bed beside Ben.
''Wait hon, let me check out.'' Ben got up and searched the wardrobe for some good leftover dress. Until he came up with a red knee length chiffon dress.
''Perfect.'' he gave Tina the dress.
''Dress up my dear Tina I'll be downstairs.'' Ben went out of her room closing the door behind.
Tina began to remove her shirt just as the door opened again.
''If you need any help dressing?'' Ben tried to peak in just then Tina threw on him one of her books.
''Get out.'' Tina yelled.


In half an hour she was ready. She looked in the mirror to check on herself.
''Hello beauty.'' she said to herself.
She then picked up her bag and came downstairs.
''My Goodness Tina.'' Karen was the first one to see her coming down the stairs.
Then Rachel sighted her daughter. Then Ben. Ben was looking at her. She was looking more then just beautiful . Hair perfectly tied in a bun. The v neck of her chiffon dress and the dress was sleeveless. A slight red stoned necklace in her neck. Stilettos in her feet and slight make up on her face with a red lipstick.
''My pretty daughter.'' Rachel kissed her on the cheek.
''Someone's surely going to die tonight Tins.'' Ben came closer to her and hugged her.
''Its all because of you.''
The bell rang.
''It must be him.''
Karen proceeded to open the door. Taylor was standing outside.
''Hello Mr Parker, come in.'' Karen made him way.
''Thank you.'' Taylor came inside.
''Hello Taylor.'' Rachel shook his hand.
''Hello Ben.'' Taylor greeted Ben.
''Hello Taylor.'' Ben replied while sipping a juice he just picked from the kitchen counter.
Then his eyes caught her eyes.
''Tina.'' Taylor called her name.
''Okay mom, Ben Bye.'' Tina kissed Rachel.
''Bye everyone.'' Taylor then walked with Tina to the main door.
''Take care of her Taylor.'' Ben shouted to him who was in the living room and they had reached the door which was little far from there.
''I will. '' Taylor replied to him smilingly opening the door for Tina.
He opened his car door for her then where he took her was mesmerizing.


I didn't knew you planned all this she said after looking at the great arrangement. Along the beach a fine table was arranged with candles and flowers and a orchestra playing. A butler standing and waiting for their order.

"Bring us the special dish of the evening."

And the roasted lamb was served with champagne. In the background romantic melodies filled the atmosphere with stunner vibes. "You look stunning Tina. Thank you for joining me tonight. You don't know how happy I am right now." Taylor said eyeing Tina.

"Well you look charming too. Are you always that accurate about your suits." Taylor dressed in a eye catching black suit and royal blue shirt smirked at Tina. " Tell me about yourself I want to know." "I have not much to tell except my father Richard Parker was a hard worker when I was born we lived in small house. After years of struggling he managed to succeed in his business. But when he did he lost his wife. Two years ago my father died. I came here from New York and established my father's business here. I have everything in this world all I lack is a family. " "I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you." Tina wanted to hug him and tell him its okay." You don't have to. By coming here tonight you've made me so happy. Although this is your official dinner with me but it makes me wonder, if this is formal what would be informal? Do you dance?''He went to the orchestra and told them to play something. After a while "can't help falling in love" started playing . ''God know this is my parents favorite song.'' They were dancing slowly. He wished to spent the night dancing with her. Taylor's and her face came closer. With each step. The vibes the winds the music. Until he came a little more closer and kissed her passionately.

''We are formal Taylor.'' she whispered her heart racing more than she could control.

''I'm sorry but I couldn't resist.''

''Let's sit down for a while.''


"Lets have some dinner shall we." Taylor whispered to her and she nodded in agreement.

''My father was a pilot. The sky was his obsession his life. His heart was my mother and I his soul. All daughters love their fathers but we were more close. I was only eight when he passed. The last day I spent with him is how I remember him. He took me to his air base and showed me his sky. How he felt home when he flew amid the clouds. His loss nearly broke me.''


They walked alongside the beach. The moon's reflection in the sea was making them forget each other. They both held each others hands and walked and talked and kissed.

They sat on the wet sand. The cold breeze of the night was chilling.

''I will not give easily to pranks Taylor.''

''Mine are not pranks they have never been. I assure you but you have time and it will decide for me as well.''


After dropping her off Taylor went away. Rachel who was waiting for her daughter asked her " did you enjoyed.?"

"Yes I enjoyed a lot. I think it as one of the best nights of my life." She said blushing and inquired about Ben. ''He went home just as you left.'' Rachel told her.

''Okay mom I'll go to bed now.'' Tina said holding her sandals in her hand. ''Sure I'll be off too was just waiting for you.'' Rachel got up.


Preparing to go to bed she wasn't feeling sleepy all that was on her mind was Taylor. A text appeared on her phone which was from Taylor " Goodnight to my enchantress formal but a little informal Tina and can't wait to have lunch with you tomorrow." She texted him back with a Goodnight too and that he was sweet but not tomorrow. Then she texted Ben a Goodnight. She fell asleep, only the dance of the evening was on her mind. To the new dreams that await her.

For good or for bad.
