Chapter Seven Chapter Seven

Riley proceeded up the staircase, filled with sparkling diamond embroidery, as it swirled upwards under the light, amid the rays that flowed upon them as bright water. The long, twirling staircase led directly to the bedroom she and Marco shared. She made her way to the bedroom to get dressed for her dinner date with Marco, and proceeded to her wardrobe where her clothes are kept and she picked a long flowing navy blue ball gown, adorned with precious diamond jewels, which are carefully attached to give a sparkly glow. It was the dress she wore to her anniversary the year before.

The day was a great one, one in which Riley could never forget. Marco had surprised her to the exquisite and most beautiful restaurant in the world. It was Gramercy Tavern, it was reserved only for royals, as not even a celebrity or the rich could gain access to visit it. Riley couldn't believe it when Marco had got them access to Gramercy Tavern. That day was one of the best days of her life, and for the event she had gotten this navy blue ball gown, and she hadn't worn it ever since that day. She giggled remembering how loving Marco could be.

After dressing up, she looked at her reflection through the large silver mirror to see how good she looked.

"Tonight i will finally spend some time with Marco, and we will clear all our doubts and be closer than we ever were.", said Riley to herself, blushing, as she braided her hair.

"Why is she taking so long to finish?", said Marco to himself, as he was pacing back and forth in the large living room.

"Riley! Please pick up the pace. We'll never make it in time if you keep on like this.'

"I'm coming!", said Riley as she came down the staircase.

"Finally. You're done. You know, you really don't need countless hours like this to dress up, he said as he pushed Riley against the wall and held up her chin.

"We are different, you might be able to get ready in a few minutes but i can't. I must say, your outfit looks stunning, said Riley, still feeling uncomfortable from Marco's grip.

Marco was looking dashing this late night with his white shirt with long sleeves, his navy blue tuxedo adorned with white lace, and his long black trousers."

"I'll take that as a compliment. For the very first time in a while, you've said something nice to me. It's been so long since we've been this close, said Marco caressing her soft face.

"Would you please let go? We have somewhere to be right?"

"Oh no, my sweet. This can't be delayed, said Marco, seductively. He knew she couldn't refuse his advances on her.

"Wanna give in? Or do i have to force you? And oh, you wouldn't want me to force you, right?, said Marco tightening his grip on her, and pushing her further against the wall."

Riley knew she had to loosen her grip or anything could happen. They might not end up leaving for the date, and she won't get to tell him about her pregnancy! No, she had to do something. He was only going to loosen his grip if she found a way to deceive him.

"Mm..what do i do? Oh..i know what to do, as Riley said to herself and smirked.

"Ah..said, Riley as she held her stomach. It hurts,she said as she started panting heavily.

"Huh? What's the problem? Is it the baby?"

"Yes i think it's the--,"said Riley as she kicked Marco in the groin.

"What was that for?", said Marco groaning in pain, as he fell on the floor and started rolling.

"This is just to teach you next time not to mess with me, said Riley, as she huffed and picked up her bag.

If you are ready, i think it's time to go for our date."

Yeah sure, and for the record, you are never nice, like i've said before, said Marco as he heaved a deep sigh, picked up his keys and they both made their way out and drove directly to the restaurant Marco had booked, "Le Bernardin".

It was a exquisite and fanciful restaurant that the rich and famous attended. It had high culinary dexterity, the preparation techniques were top notch with the highest quality ingredients prepared flawlessly, there usually were cadre of wait staff in formal attires who attended to the every needs of the customers. It is lavishly decorated, and it is combined with low lighting, with fresh flowers, tasteful artwork, candlelights, classical music, and linen tablecloths and napkins. Large tasting menus, complimentary hors d'oeuvres, decorated tables and chairs, large chandeliers at the ceilings. It had everything Riley could ever wish for at a restaurant.

A few minutes later, they arrived at Le Bernardin. They both got down from the car and made their way to the entrance of the restaurant.

They both went to the entrance of the restaurant and was welcomed by the male waiter. He was tall, black hair, muscular physique, long brown hair and deep blue pupils.

"You are welcome to Le Bernardin. May i have your booking tickets?", said the waiter.

"Yeah sure, said Riley as she handed him the tickets.

You may proceed inside, and take your seat. There is a large menu in which you can order for your food. A waiter will approach you after you have made your decision.

"Thank you," Riley said, as they both proceeded into the restaurant to have their date.
