Paul was lost in her eyes, interestingly Jenny seemed so happy she had someone she could pour out her life struggles, debts, dreams and aspirations to and held nothing back.
He leaned back in his chair, and assessing her in a slow but deliberate gaze.
" I mean no harm but I think I like you, I just can't explain why and how but be sincere " Are you scared of me?".
Jenny hesitated for a while, "What's there to be scared of?,"am sure you are not a monster she said, and the both giggled.
Jenny smiling sheepishly,
" let's take it one step at a time, but you seem like a nice man," she replied.
"Can I have your phone number, that's if you dont mind me asking." With all excitement he replied, "Yes of course", they exchanged their contact and called it a night.
Paul called on his bodyguards because it was time to go home, he was hailed as a king by people who recognized him, to give a very good first impression, he gave out money to those who called and showered him with praises.
The car door was opened for him to get into his very own special vehicle with his name boldly written on the car's plate number"Paulo". It drew the attention of passerbys because he had his very own entourage, he is really a plan of great calibre.
Jenny noticed what was going on, "He is filthy Rich", well played Jenny you did well on acting like you weren't interested in him, she rained praises on her self on a job well done .
Paul couldn't get the thought of Jenny Carter out of his mind, which affected his concentration in his business for the night, he got home took his bath and fantasied on having Jenny with him and how he would love to help her get past her life struggles.
He decided that he will pay off Jenny debts and fund her schooling until she graduates and starts practicing in her desires medical field, and is willing to go as far as setting up her own hospital, just to proof his love for her, he wants to be intimate with her, have sex with her no doubt but he really loves and cherish her, and wants her as his girlfriend.
"Should I ask Jenny to be my girlfriend?.
"Is it too soon to ask her out?.
"What if she rejects my offer?.
"What if she turns me down?.
The what if's were endless in his thoughts, I will take a leap of faith, moreover women flocks around me without me asking them out, how then will she turn me down when I ask her to be my girlfriend,that's definitely impossible, I am wealthy, I have all it takes and I can change her life for the better. I get whatever I want so there's nothing to be worried about, he said to himself, with doubts setting in but he won't just give in to fear of rejection.
Later that night, Paul tried calling Jenny to speak to her but it wasn't connecting, fear gripped him. Did she give me a wrong number, let me try calling her one more time, he said in a low tone.
He dialed her number for the second time and it rang, luckily Jenny picked up the call .
"Hello who's this?. Jenny inquired
"It's me Paul, hi Jenny how are you doing?, I called to check up on you, and I just can't get you off my mind, it's strange but I like the feelings I get while with you or when ever I hear you speak.
Jenny giggled," I am fine but am a little busy and can't talk for lon," she said .
"Alright then, happy hearing your voice again, don't skip your dinner and goodnight, said Paul.
Thank you for checking up on me, and don't skip your dinner as well, goodnight Paul, Jenny responded.
Just as the call ended, Paul heard the bang on his door, who's that banging on my door?, have you lost it.
"Paulo It's me Luca, open the door."
Paul opened the door and Luca bursted out laughing, stop laughing this isn't funny Paul told him.
Luca is Paul's best friend, and right hand man in his Mafia world, he is someone dear to paul whom he trusts a little too much.
Hey man ,where have you been? Luca's curiosity couldn't be contained. Nothing much, Paul replied. I met a lady today who made me feel different, I can't really explain what I feel for her but I think I like her, Luca I just can't explain this emotions.
Luca was surprised and speechless, is this really my best friend ? What happened to you out there ?. Anyways what's her name, he asked.
"She's Jenny Carter by name, young, beautiful and a medical student. I can't tell if this is lust or Love at the moment , but all I am sure of is, I want her in my life and by my side."
"Does she know who you are or what you do?.
She does seem to know me at all, but I promise to tell her everything about myself and what I am into, without withholding any information away from her, but this is only when I am completely sure I can put my trust in her.
Am happy you finally opened your stone like heart to love, but I really just hope it's not one sided love bestie, try watching her closely because you never can tell what kind of person she is, it's not always about the look or pity stories brother .
You are absolutely right Luca, I know it isn't about the body features, but she's different, I have this strong conviction in my heart that she's the one for me, I've never felt this way for any woman and that am sure you can arrest to, I will keep a close eye on her first, I wouldn't want to bring in someone who would give my enemies room to strike and get to me.
I really want to help this ambitious young lady to attain all her dreams and desires, I want to see her successful, I really do want to invest my funds in her.
"Okay then, if you say so Paulo, I trust your judgement and sixth sense, you have always been a good judge of character and excited to see this new chapter of your life.
Thank you brother for your support, I suggested we meet again for the second time and she said that's fine by her, please do help me make reservation for two in a very good and exclusive restaurant, I don't mind paying for the whole building. Just make sure it's in a quiet and peaceful environment. Remember luxury only.
I will do just that, anything for you boss, am always at your beck and call. Luca responded while smiling.
My boss is Inlove, he has found his better half, he shouted at the top of his voice. The both laughed.
