3 Erstwhile: The Date 2

"The date soon began".

Ragnick was nervous as predicted but he managed to compose himself in that environment of tension.

Vanessa picked up the menu book as he stared at them for a very long time with the waiter beside them awaiting their order. She said "can I get some burritos please".

Ragnick was shocked at her response, not knowing what to say at the meal she ordered. He made his order also asking for "Macaroni and Cheese". The waiter collected both orders as he hastily walked to get them.

Not knowing how to start the conversation, he asked "how was the journey here". "It was good, not far and definitely thanks for paying for the drive".

"It is all fine" he said.

**********************************************

Sincerely speaking, was he meant to pay. It has not even been a day since he saw, not knowing how she will behave, not sure if she would come, not knowing if he would even get a kiss in the cheek even on the mouth. He sent her cash to pay for her trip.

Well she came, let's see if this is going to end well for Ragnick.

**********************************************

They continued the conversation talking about the life as a whole, she told Ragnick about her family, career and work.

Vanessa was the second child of her mother with her father being late. She had competed her schooling just like Ragnick and she was also working a company as an accountant. She had a child.

Yes, a child.

She was a single mother and Ragnick knew that. The further told Ragnick about her work stating that it was a good work but it strained her a little bit. Ragnick was just feeling pity for his lover.

Their food soon arrived and they wasted no time in digging in. They were short of words as they food was too delicious in their sense. They devoured every part of the meal, leaving nothing behind but as they were eating Ragnick began his own story also.

He was an orphan and he lived in the church all of his life. He was sent to school by the church from the beginning of his schooling stage till the end of his schooling stage. He works at a law firm indicating that he was a lawyer. He continued by stating that he was visiting the town just because of her.

They began to lay jokes to one another and Ragnick could feel the so called connection between the both of them. He knew that she was the one, he was ready to commit himself into that relationship but some things had to be sort out first.

They finished their meal and they made their way out of the restaurant. She clinged unto his hands as they walked and chatted with Ragnick taking her to a spot. If one saw them at that moment, one would think that were a couple as they were fit for each other.

And behold was something magnificent, beautiful, something that rendered her speechless instead. He took her to a tree with fireflies all hovering around the tree. The fireflie's light radiated all over the place.

It was something she had never seen in her entire life. She was very emotional and could not just shake off her tears. She neared the tree as she began to wave her hands in the air as the fireflies flew towards her direction and stayed on her body.

She cherished that moment with all of her heart as she walked back to Ragnick with tears of joy filling her face. She neared him and said "Thank you".

Responding he said "really", she nodded her head in agreement and he said "you are welcome, you deserve to be happy". Ragnick knew that she was already falling for his little tricks and he was happy that she cherished that moment with no one else but him.

After hearing those words, she hugged him so tightly that it warmed into his soul. He knew for sure that he had met his other half.

Suddenly a kiss sprang at his mouth, it was a deep "I love you" kiss from Vanessa. A long kiss which involved the curling of the tongue, like it was too good for a first kiss.

Ragnick was not hesitant at all, as he grabbed her by the waist inorder for her body not to move to different directions rather stay in one place for the kiss to flow well. But he was thinking of aim higher, you know to her boobs but he withdrew his hands knowing fully what the repercussions might be.

The kiss soon ended as she looked into his eyes and she smiled at what she just did. Smiling back at her, he also smashed her a kiss back but this time it was a quick one. Then they sat down on a bench in that park facing and staring at the wonder of nature. Looking at the flying stars and how nature was doing it's will.

It is truly wonderful.

Swiftly something passed through Vanessa's eyes, it was Ragnick's key, he threw it there in purpose without she knowing. He had a plan and the key could make the plan work. They plan was to propose.

And just at that moment, he was about to go on his knees.

*******************************************

What was he going on his knees for?. I hope it is not what I am thinking. Who the f*ck goes on their knees after meeting someone for the first time. I know they had talked online but this is reality fam.

She has to meet some certain conditions and requirements. Can she cook for him in the kitchen and most important in bed. This are some thing he has to take into account. How in God's name will he propose at this early stage.

What kind of man is this?.

*******************************************

And just as his knees were about to touch the ground. Some men came, dressed wearing black from the top of the head to the bottom of their feet, even using a mask to cover their faces. They were four in number.

At first one would think they were like the police or vigilantes but their first sentence strucked him hard as one of them said....
