OPEN HEAVENS

👠👠👠👠👠👠👠👠👠👠👠👠👠👠👠

Stepping out of my house in a black silk dress with thigh high slits, silk gloves that reached up to my elbows and red heels that matched my purse and pendant.

I decided to curl my hair and I so much love this wavy look.

  And there he was in a black tux looking dashing as always standing in front of his maybach

"Hi" I said

"Whoa, you look gorgeous"

"Really thanks" I said twirling

He opened the door like a gentleman and help me sit in gently. Getting into the car,he drove us to a restaurant rated A+ and after taking a look at the menu I just want to order it all but I wouldn't want this gentleman over here to feel embarrassed.

Wait what was that, I would be getting married to him soon he'll most definitely accept me for the foodie that I am.

"Uhm can I get two plates of everything on this side of the menu for the both of us please" I said to the waiter

"Wait what, don't you think that's a lot" said Derek

"No it's not"

"I don't eat much Addy"

"It's fine, I'll fix it"

And there it was, the waiter brought our dishes and I immediately felt like I was in heaven, I dug into my food after ordering red wine.

Even though I eat much,I still do it with dignity and the right way,I don't just stuff my face with food whenever I'm outside because I was trained by grandma.

After dinner was over there was still food left not from my side though, Derek didn't finish his meal

"Waiter!" I called

"Will you please pack these up for me as take outs"

"Sorry?" The waiter said

" Help me pack up the remaining food"

" Baby" Derek called resting his hands on mine

"There's no need to pack up the remaining food,why do you want to do that"

" We can't let the food waste can we, so you don't bother yourself,I'll take it home for myself. Please pack this up"

"Okay miss Rani"

" Miss Rani" I said after the waiter laughing, both Derek, the waiter and everyone around turned their attention to me and were confused as to why I was laughing

"Don't look at me that way,he said Miss Rani. Rani means princess so it's just like saying miss princess that was why I laughed" I said to no one in particular

"Oh sorry miss, I never knew that was what I was saying well what then can I call you" the waiter said

"You can call me Addy or just Rani"

" Can I call you Aadishree?"

I gasped, how did he know my name and he actually said it right

"You like the name?" I asked

"Of course I do,I think it's a nice name"

"Then you can call me Aadishree, what's yours?"

"Jace"

"Nice to meet you Jace but don't you have work to do"  Derek interrupted our conversation

"Sorry Mr Fudsbough"  Jace said and went to pack my meal, he came back after 3 minutes

"Here you go Aadishree dear, see you next time" Jace said

"Bye Jace stay safe" I said after giving him a feathery hug

I was walking out the restaurant when someone called me, when I looked back I saw that it was Derek who called and he was with someone

"Hello sir" I greeted the man

"I've heard a lot about you miss,you must be Sam right,you are such a damsel no wonder my friend here is head over heels in love with you"

"But I'm not Sam, I'm Aadishree"

" Sorry babe, Joel here has trouble remembering names right from when we were kids_ Joel it's Addison not Sam, did you forget again"

"Huh,oh sorry" Joel said

"It's fine" i said with a smile

"Can we leave now Derek"

"Yeah,Joel we'll see some other time, I have to go now with my fiance"

"Right goodbye Addison, nice meeting you"

"Goodbye sir"

We left from the restaurant and I asked him to stop by the lake. The lake was so beautiful as it was surrounded by fireflies and when I touched my feet into it they began to fly around and the sight was so magical.

"Derek dear, we'll be getting married soon but I have never been to your house before"

"Do you want to go to my house?"

"Yeah let's do that,let's go to your place"

"But it's so late already"

"It's fine I can stay over"

I got into the car and he drove off to his house while I called mother to inform her that I wouldn't be back so she shouldn't stay up waiting for me.

His house was rather more colorful than I thought, it was more of a home not a house and he said he lives alone.

There were crayon and color portraits on the wall of 3 pineapples or was it 3 members of a family. It looked like it was done by a child and there were toys everywhere.

"This was done by Abi,my sister's child.

They usually come over whenever I'm not home and then leave after messing the place up"  he explained and I smiled at the thought of having a child

" I'll clean it up and pack the toys" I offered

"No you are a guest,you shouldn't. I will do it"

"In some days time I will no longer be a guest so let me start with this little family problem, I'll clean it all up"

After packing the toys and the poster colours and crayons I placed them in a carton and kept it aside.

Derek wasn't here so I decided to tour his house, different rooms but just two caught my attention. One that had a crib in it and was filled with toys and the other that had women clothing and valet.
