Several men were making jazz music with their trumpets. More than five waiters were seen carrying glasses of wine on trays serving them to customers. The restaurant was very big, the florescent light bulb made the inside beautiful. It was a very busy day. People were seen laughing, eating and drinking with their partners. The tables were set in a circular pattern and for each table, a chandelier hung above. It was certainly a five star restaurant.
A man dressed in a neat, well ironed suit was seen, his black hair was jelled back. The LiveWire agent, Mr Tate looked at his watch, he was impatient but his face maintained a calm impression. Due to his looks, one wouldn't think he was the kind to be romantic. He had petals of roses sprinkled all over the table, to his right was flower he was supposed to give his date.
He looked at his watch again and bit his lips, he despise late coming, the only reason he was waiting patiently was because he has fallen head over heels for the person he was waiting for.
Finally he heard the footsteps he could never forget. Raising his head up, he saw Regina walking majestically in her slutty red, knee-length gown that was adorned with roses at the waist band. She covered her self with an expensive white coat. Some men had already lost focus at the sight of her. Mr Tate smiled, exposing his white teeth immediately he saw her, he quickly adjusted his tie and dusted his suit, even though there there was no dust.
He stood up and gave her flowers before drawing the chair out for her.
She sat down and a waiter came to collect her coat.
Mr Tate cleared his throat.
"How are you" He asked with a smile, he was indeed a very handsome man, his glowing dark skin was always matched with the right color of suit, his face was spotless and he had black eyes that harbor lust in them, one glance from him was enough to do all the dirty works.
Two waiters came and served them, they poured wines in their glass cups and place their foods on the table before leaving.
They both picked up their forks and knives.
"Bon Appetit" Mr Tate said.
"Hmm" Regina replied. And slowly, they started eating.
"Why did you have to put up so much work Mr Tate" Regina asked, she noticed their tables were different from the other, the music was giving her another feeling and the worst part was that they were given special care, it seemed like a romantic date to her.
"I just decided to... please can we finish the meal?" He wanted to change the topic. He was not the type of person to lie or keep secrets unless it was necessary, he was the open hearted type that always speaks his mind.
Another glass of Champagne was brought to their table.
Regina cleared her throat, she was finding this very awkward. Although what just happened didn't look romantic, she knew it had been his plan all along. She could tell from the restaurant, the food, the wine, the table everything around her.
Her eyes followed the waitress till she was out of sight.
"What are you staring at?" Mr Tate asked. She averted her gaze to him.
"You're just full of surprises ...This....I didn't expect this" She said while looking around.
"It's nothing...when you said you wanted to meet, I planned to make the meeting special" He said, again with a smile.
"Okay" She continued to eat.
"Regina" He called in a soft tone, she looked up and her eyes locked with a pair of black eyes.
"I.....I....wanna say..."
"Don't..... Don't say it" She interrupted him.
"what?" He said confused.
"I know what you wanna say.....I mean for God sake Mr Tate" She said while dropping the utensils in her hands.
Mr Tate also dropped his, he placed his hand on her hand and she quickly withdraw. He was baffled.
"I thought you called me to ....."
"I called you to talk to you about the matter at hand, because I thought you were the most sensible out of them.....I guess I was wrong" She said before looking away and Mr Tate looked down in shame.
"I thought you knew better that to mistake business for pleasure" She said.
"I'm sorry, I thought this was a better opportunity for me to express my feelings, I guess I was wrong, I'm sorry" He said, still looking down.
Regina sighed, she doesn't like to abuse him, like she said, out of all her staffs, he was the most sensible, always respecting her opinion, and following orders. Never has he done anything that went contrary to her words. This made her develop this soft spot for him, but it wasn't love. It was just a simple trust.
"I'm sorry i shouldn't have snapped, but what you just did....." She wasn't a woman of many words, people seems to understand what she said even without finishing the sentence.
"Yeah" He brought out his hanky and wiped his face.
"So....what'd you wanna talk about?" He asked as he put a fake smile on his face.
"Never mind..." She stood up, his gaze followed her.
"Can you drive me home?" She asked.
"Yeah" They went to collect Regina's coat and He drove her home.
A flashy two seaters BMW parked in front of a grand house. Mr Tate came out and opened the door for Regina. She came out holding flowers in her hand.
"Thanks for tonight" She said.
"Hmm" He replied.
She kissed his cheek and went inside.
He watched her enter, as soon as she was out of sight, he entered his car and drove home to his wife and kids.
*************
Students were chattering, the noice in the hall grew louder, the new students didn't know each other, but they've started making friends. That was the reason for the loud chattering.
"Attention everyone...." They heard from the mic, the voice was actually coming from Otto, he was curry stand on an elevated part of the hall. Sky has already reached the hall, he was standing alone, while watching almost everyone get along.
"I wanna use this opportunity to tell you our goal.....we train you so that one day you'll go out and defend your planet.....the earth hasn't suffered any war since Mecha stepped in but it doesn't mean we won't have one, our job is to train you and make you as strong as you can be" He paused.
"During you time here, you'll be giving missions that helps you get stronger and increase your powers. Remember this, earth is not the only planet people that has powers.... there are other planet that the creatures in it possess certain abilities, they may be stronger.....they may be weaker but our goal is to make you the best of the best" He said.
"We are going to group you in six.....whoever we give you stays with you till the end and no you can't swap" He said as if he read their minds.
"So we're going to call your names and your teachers will explain the rest of the goals to you...if I wanna go far then we should prepare for camping here tonight* He joked and they all laughed.
*clears throat*
"Sandra Michael, Shane Griffin, Camille Hartford, Harry Kyle and James Darkwood. You're all in the same group, you all have been registered as group k, comprising of 2 Android users, two Cyborgs and two LiveWires"
"This will be the formation of all group."
He said.
The grouping continued and many were not happy about the way they were grouped.
Sky's group comprised of Him, Bryan, a Blondie named Emily, Another girl named Kiss, Kyle Harkins and Tom Goodfellow.
The grouping ended and everyone went to their rooms to call it a day. The real deal was to come the next day.
