She reaches the restaurant and sees Andre already waiting for her,The table is looking so romantic.. Pearl wonders what the occasion was..Andre sees Pearl and walks up to her"welcome baby"he said with a bow which made pearl chicken"good day mister"she also said with a courtesy as they both laugh and go to the table Andre prepared for them..

Pearl liked at Andre as he Happily enjoys his meal,he seems to be looking forward to something and pearl tries to figure what it is?

"It seems like it is going to rain"

She mumbled as the rumble of the thunder stunned her.

"Yes. Did you bring your coat?"

He asked.

"No, I did not. Let's get this discussion done quickly so we can go home"

She bit her lip trying to avert the cool breeze that was soothing her skin.

"Yes Pearl, please I like you. Why don't we just try... I'll be the ideal gentleman. I will..."

He was interrupted by her giggle.

"You look cute saying that you know"

Pearl chuckled looking at Andre and almost immediately, her face flushed realizing what she just said.

"But I think I have something to say... Something different"

She pressed her lip together.

"I know... But let's come to terms with mine first, right? Please, Pearl, I don't beg people for whatever. Pleading with you should make you know I am serious about you"

He said in a serious voice.

She sighed.

And then came the thunder again.

This time, she began to feel extremely cold.

"Andre, I think we should head home"

She said hugging herself trying to prevent the cold.

"Relax Pearl. There is a hotel down the street. We can spend the night there if you want"

He flashed her a smile.

"Yeah"

She mumbled, but the idea of spending the night with him made her nervous.

"So what do you say? Be my girlfriend."

He reached out for her hand and took it in his.

"Please"

He pleaded.

She couldn't just reject him, realizing how handsome he looked.

God... She inwardly cursed.

Why could she not outright reject him?

She asked herself as she bit her lip.

"What do you say?"

He asked her, she was about to speak when the sudden rain spoke for her.

It started heavily and a series of thunder followed.

"Fuck..."

He cursed.

"I am sorry dear, I did not expect the rain to fall so soon"

He clenched his jaws.

"It's okay... I think we should focus on me right now. I am shivering"

She said.

His eyes widened seeing her shivering.

"So sorry..."

He said and calling the waitress, he paid the bills.

"Can you walk?"

He asked sincerely with genuine concern in his mind.

Pearl smiled moving her hands to pinch his cheeks slightly.

"I'm not a kid. It's just cold"

She said gently.

"How stubborn... Cold can lead to several things... Fever, I don't want you falling sick"

He said with sincerity written all over his face.

"Let's go"

She stood up while he held her waist to make sure she was balanced.

"Okay?"

He asked to see her nod positively.

"Here"

He pulled his coat and handed it to her.

"Thank you"

She muttered and quickly wore it.

They both walked out of the restaurant to be greeted by the cool breeze.

"Are you okay?"

He asked noticing the way she shivered.

"Yes"

She replied.

"No, you are not"

He opposed and boom.

He carried her in his arms quickening his pace as they approached the hotel.

Getting to the hotel, he dropped her comfortably on a chair as he went in to book a room.

But he made sure she was not out of his sight even for a second.

After getting the room info, he went to get her.

"You should not have carried me like that. We were in public Andre... Public"

She sighed as she rubbed her temple.

The corner of his lips tugged up in a little smile as he picked her up again, this time, heading to their hotel room.

....

The hotel room was one of the best in the hotel, and he reserved it just for them.

Opening the door with the key, he dropped her on the bed.

"Let me go get you drugs"

He said and was about to step out when she called.

"An...And..Andre.."

Her lips quivered due to the cold.

"Please... I hate drugs"

Her eyes had welled up due to the cold.

"You said you will respect my wishes right? Please do respect this one. Don't get me drugs, instead, look for a faster way to keep me warm"

She said looking at him meekly.

"Way to keep you warm... I think I know one... But you might not like it sweet"

He said now smirking.

"Bring it on Andre"

She said body, and for a moment, something flashed through his eyes.

"No going back from this Pearl. Think wisely"

His voice now got hoarse, but it did not scare her as much as the drug did.

"As long as it is not a drug, bring it on"

She boldly said.

"Your wish is my command love"

He said in a rough voice and an instant, he captured her lips in his. Nibbling and sucking on it as if his life depended on it. He probed open her mouth with his tongue still kissing her.

"An...Andre..stop... What are...are...you doing?"

She asked in the middle of the kiss, but he did not pull back.

He kept kissing with so much ferocity until he finally pulled back with the both of them panting hard.

"What... Did..you do?"

Pearl asked trying to catch her breath.

"Trying to warm us both"

He flashed her a smile that made her toes curl.

"We are not done yet, sweetheart. You are still cold"

And with that, he caught her lips in his again, and in the process, he bit her lip, but he quickly used his tongue to lick the place sending a strange sensation below her tummy.

Like a snake, his hand found its way to her shirt. He slipped his hand into her shirt caressing her gently.

Pearl was torn between kissing him back or pulling away.

She could not deny the fact that she was enjoying him kissing her.

She made up her mind and kissed him back. Even though she had not done it before, her inexperienced tongue fought with his.

Then suddenly he pulled away from her lips.

"Is this your first time?"

She was already heating up, and her face flushed deeply again.

"I haven't... You are my first."

She said shyly as a blush etched on her face.

"Hmm. How interesting"

He murmured and continued kissing her

He pulled her shirt to reveal her bra.

Then with so much experience, he pulled her bra too and his hand made way to her breast, but immediately, she pulled away.

"I... I can't... Please no..."

She said gently as a tear dropped down her eyes.

"And you think I will listen to that?"

He asked as a certain hunger etched on his face.

He noticed something, her temperature had become hot.

She was burning.

Fever.
