Ashley stepped out of the Rolls Royce phantom,as soon as it was widely opened. She had reached her destination. Still standing besides the vehicle,she stared at the building to where she had been just this afternoon,Seven star hotel.
"Does he have a thing for this place?" She said to herself. Anderson was already standing besides her but she hadn't sense his presence.
"What,you hate that I chose here?" He asked since she was loud enough for him to hear her. She jumped since she was startled. She looked up at him and lock eyes with those black cat eyes.
"No I am just not surprised." She answered.
Anderson then studied her ,from the top to bottom,then back to top and his gaze landed in her hair.
"I love what you did with the hair." He complimented. Ashley just smirked.
"Is the hair the only thing you noticed?" She asked.
Without taking eyes off her curled hair,he held her chin lightly like she was fragile as crystal.
" I had already pictured you in that dress, knowing that you will look beautiful." He said then stared into her. "You are beautiful."
The dress was crimson red, it's design was off shoulder where it revealed her shoulders and her perfect glowing skin. Her waist was snatched reducing it to a twenty- four inches. Her hips were well shaped under the majestic dress,and at the side seams there was a slit that show off her long beautiful glowing leg. And at the back was just the hidden zip that covered her back and not forgetting the black heels that added to her height and the make up Claire did, adding up to her confidence. In short she was very stunning.
Ashley's eyes drifted to his lips,and Anderson noticed. He let go of her chin,then reached his arm to her. She hooked her's to his and they proceed to the front door.
" The paparazzi." She said.
" What about them?" He asked.
" What if they show up ,and take pictures,then make a story in the magazines." She state then worry got her.
" Don't worry Ash,I handled that ,they won't be coming today and we have the whole place to ourselves." He assured her.
The bodyguards pushed the doors for them and they got in. It was true,he really had booked a reservation for only both of them. He walked her to into the elevator.
" Where are we going?" She asked.
" I booked the rooftop,so we could have our dinner and watch the entire city it's a great view at night,you will love it." He said feeling enthusiastic.
The elevator shut once they were in and Anderson pressed the button for the last floor. They arrived and walked out together,and finally reached to their table. Ashley couldn't believe her eyes.
The setting was perfect,there was candles lit all over the place to give out the romantic mood. The path was also decorated with rose petals. Also the tables and the chairs were covered with a white satin fabric. On the table was a bottle of expensive wine still sealed,and a clear glass jar with yellow tulips. There was also a jazz band,now the atmosphere was just filled with lots of love.
Anderson pulled the chair for her,she sat and thanked him. Anderson then sat across her,then the waiter came pushing a table with wheels towards them. He then arranged their meals then welcomed them to enjoy. Anderson opened the wine and poured some for Ashley in her glass,then to his. Ashley sipped it and her eyes widened. She then noticed Anderson staring at her.
" It's just sweet." She explained.
" Do you like it? " He asked. She just nodded. They proceed to enjoy their dinner while they listened to the band playing .
" So are you going to job tomorrow?" Anderson asked breaking the silence.
"Yap,being it a Monday,I have to and I'll be so busy for sure." She answered.
" Oh,me to,I have new clients who want to work with me."
" Do you want me to bring you lunch?" She asked jokingly then smiled revealing her very white teeth.Anderson smiled to.
" I wish you could but, Emmlyn will take of it." He told her.
" Oh, that's even better,I understand why she would be cautious after what happened last time." She said then disappointment hit her. She then reached for her glass with wine, Anderson immediately held her hand. It felt warm,he looked into her eyes.
" None of it was your fault Ash...you didn't know what would happen,so please stop feeling guilty." He told her. She sighed then smiled.
" Okay,I won't,I'm better now."
She proceed to drink her wine,as Anderson had let go.
Ashley was then staring at how the band was playing. It really pleased her, getting that smile out of her. Anderson noticed,he wiped his mouth with the napkin, then stood from his seat. He walked to her and reached out his hand.
"May I have this dance with the beautiful lady before me?" He requested. She was hesitant but her hand moved on it's own,and it held his. She smiled then stood from her seat and they walked to the dance floor.
Anderson held her waist with one hand and the other,held her hand while Ashley's was on his shoulder. They made eye contact as they followed the rhythm.
" I forgot to mention,you look handsome." She said.
"Finally you noticed." He purred with a smirk on his handsome face. She just smiled.
"Were you trying to make an impression Mr. Whitecross?" She asked.
"Is it obvious?" He asked back. She just nodded and smiled more. She then laid on his chest as they moved in sync.
"Actually Ash,I didn't ask you on a date so we could just eat." He said. Ashley just hummed. " I did it so I could ask you something... Will you marry me Ashley?" He proposed.
Ashley lifted her head off his chest and stared at him puzzled. " P... pardon me."
