Chapter 94
Betty dropped her phone on her dresser. Grant just called to tell her he was on his way to pick her up for their dinner date.
She stared at her reflection in the mirror as she applied a coat of her lip gloss. Betty, like her sister, preferred going natural all the time. She had learned how to use nude makeup to her perfection.
She opened her jewelry box, brought out a tiny silver necklace; which she fastened on her neck and also put on a pair of matching earrings. She was sitting on the edge of the bed to wear her shoes when the doorbell rang.
Knowing it must be Grant , she stood up and left to get the door. She took a deep breath to steady herself as she got behind the door before she swung it open.
Grant gasped slightly on seeing her, she mesmerized him look. “You are so gorgeous,” he said.
Her heart skipped a few beats hearing those words from him. “Thank you, please come in,” she said in a whisper and stepped aside to allow him to walk into the living room.
“Wow,” he said as he walked in. “I can see you are dressed already. I like me a woman who keeps to time.” He chuckled.
Betty smiled again and gestured with her hand for him to sit down.
“Your space is so beautiful,” he said, taking his seat. “Everything about you speaks of elegance.” He couldn’t help himself. He blew a kiss at her.
Becky’s heart beat nearly stopped at that moment. “Thanks,” she blushed. Feeling elegant and beautiful.
“You are most welcome, my darling,” he replied with a smile. “What about your sister and parents? Can I say hello to them?”
“I’m afraid,” said. “The three of them are not around. “My parents went for a wedding and my sister is out and about for her wedding preparations.”
“Yeah, yeah,” he smiled with realization. “I remember you told me about her forthcoming wedding.”
“Can I get you something to drink?”
“Oh no,” he took her hand. “You are dressed already. Let’s just leave.”
“Alright….,” her gaze locked with his for a moment. “Let me get my purse,” said and dashed out of the sitting room.
She had to stay still for some minutes to get her bearings right when she got into her bedroom. The heat of his presence was just too much on her. And it was strange to her.
That was the very first time she would experience such. “Oh my God, is this how love is?” She asked herself with her hand on her chest. She quickly wore her shoes and picked up her purse.
Fifty minutes later, they sat facing each other in an exquisite restaurant, where Grant had made a reservation the night before.
They discussed issues ranging from their families, their jobs, and themselves. It amazed Grant that she was a superb listener and a good talker.
He liked the way she answered his questions and the way she asked him questions, too. She did not make every conversation about herself.
“Betty dear,” Grant called gently, “I love you.” He couldn’t hold himself back anymore. “You are so unique and amazing. I want to be with you. What do you say?”
She just smiled and looked on.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Grant smiled sweetly at her, “you know you are very diplomatic,” he said, with his eyes glazing with his desire for her.
That brought a smile to Betty’s lips. “You know that’s the second time you are accusing me of that today.”
He reached over and caressed her arm. His touch on her skin sent vibrations all over her body.
He said, “it’s not an accusation. My dear, It’s a fact.”
They both burst into laughter. Grant took Betty’s hand and smiled into her face. “Betty, I love you so much,” he declared his love again in a throaty, guttural voice. Excitement cursing through his body.
She became shy and only smiled at him again. She covered his hand with hers.
“Not to worry,” he said . “I am ready to wait until you are ready.”
“Okay,” she nodded.
During the ride back to Betty’s house, they talked mostly about New York city; the place they both loved.
When they got to their house and he stopped the car in their driveway, he did something totally unexpected, which changed everything between them in a twinkle of an eye.
He looked into her eyes and asked, “can…. can I kiss you?” He looked at her with pure, unbridled love.
Betty blushed, bit her lower lip, and nodded.
That was all he needed. He leaned closer to her, cupped her face in his hands, and kissed her like his life depended on it.
She squirmed in his hands, a sign that she was enjoying it as much as he was, too.
A rush of warmth went through her body as his mouth continued to ‘ravage’ her mouth. Her heart kept pounding that she feared it was going to burst! At some point, she got control of herself and broke away slowly from him, panting. She whimpered, giving him her adorable, toothy smile.
Their lips quivered as they gazed lovingly into each other’s eyes.
Grant sucked in a sharp breath and said, “I have waited so long for this.” A sated smile playing on his lips.
Betty smiled back at him. She reached over and cupped the back of his neck to pull him to her. She raise her eyes up to him, offering her lips to him for another kiss.
Grant didn’t wait a minute. He seized her mouth up in a second. This kiss was deeper and slower than before.
“Oh God, Betty. I am so much in love with you now,” he moaned as his lips moved to her neck, grazing on it. The action sent sparks of fire on her body.
His hand moved to one of her breasts and cupped it through her top and soft bra. His mouth nibbled on her earlobe, brushing it with his teeth. “I love you so much, my queen. I can do this forever with you.”
He declared before he started kissing her on the mouth again. He didn’t stop until her body was trembling against his.

Her sister and their parents had returned home when they got back. The three of them were very happy to meet Grant. He stayed with the family for almost one hour before he left.
“I have never seen you looking so happy like you are now,” Becky said to her later as they sorted the groceries their parents bought on the way back. “You are finally in love. Something tells me Grant is the real deal.”
“I know,” Betty grinned, with butterflies swimming in her belly. She couldn’t believe she was finally truly in love.
