that he was being given way too much responsibilities and therefore wasn’t too happy about it.
-Lovemaking for the first time-
After meeting up for a couple of days in the club, it was about time for them to get to the next level. And since mike’s house was incredibly huge and palatial, he decided to have her over for a few drinks.
Joyce didn’t know that he was a billionaire. And so she prepared to go and meet him and it was at that moment that she realized he wasn’t just any other random guy. Mike had sent her flowers and a note that told her to look over the gate. And when she did, there was a stretch limo waiting for her. It was at that moment that she started having butterflies in her stomach, a feeling that she only had when she was back in grade school.
And for mike to have the ability to do so, then it meant that he was something special indeed. So when Joyce was in a position to calm herself down, she stepped out of her apartment and made a point of leaving for the gate. And as she was walking, she just couldn’t tear her gaze away from the Rolls Royce. It was a work of perfection and picture perfect.
As a matter of fact, she had never laid her eyes on a Rolls Royce apart from the movies and magazines of course.
Joyce glanced at her watch, it was about half past seven and she quickly figured that it was going to be about half an hours ride to the place that they were supposed to meet. One of the reasons as to why she fell for mike was because he had an air of mystery around him and needless to say, it drew Joyce to want to know so much more about her.
The Rolls Royce moved in silence and too many a times it left Joyce wondering if at all they were getting to move at all. But as soon as she was in a position to kick back and enjoy the breeze, the next thing that she did was making sure that she was checking her phone for any text messages. But just like she had anticipated, her wasn’t getting to send any text messages, and that just made her feel as though she was getting way too nervous for life.
Finally, after the longest half an hour in the whole world, they got to reach their destination. And it was there that she heard the door getting opened and there he was, looking like the most handsome man in the whole darn world. And for a moment, she felt as though her heart was beating at the base of her throat and the butterflies in her stomach going on a rampage.
But still, she managed to maintain her cool despite all the mixed feelings as she was slowly being led out of the expensive car.
“Did you travel well?”
“As a matter of fact, I did.”
“Good. Because you are about to have the best night of your life.”
“Really? I can’t wait for sure.”
And with that, Mike took her hand and led her to an incredibly amazing hotel that was in the open by the rooftop. But at the end of the day, it seemed as though he had booked it all out, meaning that they were the only ones who were there at the time. Eventually, they found a spot where it had been prepared and they settled down.
Even at that moment, it seemed as though Joyce wasn’t in a position to believe that everything was working for her. After three very long years of hustling for a job and even a fraction of happiness that she saw most of her friends kicking back and getting to enjoy, it was finally getting to happen to her and in a very big way.
She felt as though she needed to close her eyes and thank God, but then again she was very nervous and chose to postpone the thanksgiving prayer. As a matter of fact, it seemed as though she had to wait a little longer so as to find out whether mike was just some bastard millionaire who was a bad boy and needless to say, looking forward to using her just like it was the case with so many wealthy men nowadays.
But if there is anything that she really trusted, it was her instinct. And at the moment, her instinct was
