Ashley's POV
"So, who's the lucky guy dating you?" Khloe asked
"His name is Damion, I met him on Tinder." I replied
"That's nice. When are you guys going on a date?"
"Actually tonight, so I'm going home right now to get ready."
"Aww man! That means I have to stay with sloppy Gary!" She exclaimed
"Pray to God that there will be no cases for tonight." I mocked
"I will. Because the last time, he shot me in my godamn leg and shoulder."
"Okay. Well I'll better get going see ya later Khlo."
"You too if I'm not alive."
"Khloe! Seriously!" I exclaimed
"What?" Khloe replied miserably
"Nothing. Bye."
"Bye Ash."
I went to my SUV and drove to my apartment.
Time Skip
At the restaurant
I nervously made my way to The Palone restaurant to meet up my tinder date, Damion. I feel like to cancel the date.
"Don't cancel the date. This guy is nothing like the jackass, Kenny." Said my subconscious.
She's right. I walked in the restaurant with confidence. I went up to the hostess.
"Hello. Is there a reservation under the name Damion?"
"Yes ma'am. If you please follow me."
Oh my god. Damion was here already? Well I'm late for my first tinder date.
"Um. Hi Damion. I'm so sorry that I'm late."
"You're not actually late. I decided to come earlier and see if everything is okay with the reservation." He replied in his beautiful British accent.
He looked handsome in his black suit and blue tie that made his ocean blue eyes pop. His big muscles were defined by the suit. He oozed power and authority.
"Like what you see love. They say a picture lasts longer." He asked huskily with a seductive look on his face.
"What?! I'm sorry, I should take a seat now.
"Hold on."
He came out of his seat and drawn out my seat. Such a gentleman.
"Thank you." I said while blushing real hard.
"You're welcome love."
"Damion. Can I ask a question?"
"Go right ahead."
"Why did you have to pick out an expensive restaurant? I'm not sure I can even pay the check."
"I just wanted to treat you tonight. And I'm paying for everything so you don't need to worry about the check."
After a few minutes of arguing about who's paying for tonight. Damion won.
"You're a stubborn woman Ashley."
"I'll take that as a compliment." I replied jokingly.
"Excuse me ma'am and sir. May I take your orders." The waitress asked.
I scanned the menu for the less expensive dish. I eventually found one.
"Um. I would like the Pineapple Chicken served with Jasmine rice and a glass of water."
"And you sir?"
"I'll just have a glass of wine."
"Damion. Are you not ordering something to eat?"
"No. I ate at my place before I came here."
" Okay. I'll be right back with your orders."
The waitress look at me like I'm something delicious to eat before she left. Weird. She was also so pale.
"So, Ashley darling, tell me about yourself." He said while touching my hand.
His hands were freezing cold. I realized that the restaurant was surrounded with air conditioning.
"I was born in New York in 1998. I had a wonderful childhood. Both of my parents treated me like a princess. But before my senior year in high school, my family and I were involved in a tragic car accident."
"What happened?" Damion asked concernedly
"I... um... I really don't want to talk about it."
I didn't want to recount that terrible accident. It was too much.
"Ashley, I completely understand if you don't want to talk about it. It must been hard to go through it alone. If you need anything, I'm here okay. I'm just a call away." He said in a soothing voice while holding my hand.
"Thanks Damion."
I took a deep breath and calmed myself down. I looked up and stared in his eyes. They looked hypnotizing.
"Hold on. Did his eyes just turned red?" I thought to myself.
His eyes were red for a few seconds and turned back to their original ocean blue. That was crazy. I must be see things. Yeah my eyes were playing tricks on me.
"Your dish ma'am and your water. And your wine sir. Enjoy." Said the waitress while placing the dish and the drinks on the table.
"Oh, uh. Thank you."
"Thank you"
Okay. Something's definitely wrong because I think hallucinating. Why in the fuck Damion's wine looks thick like blood or some mystery wine or juice.
I'm very concerned about what's going on right now.
"Damion, why is your wine so thick?"
"This is a special type of wine from Wales, England."
I instantly sighed in relief and calmed myself down. Nowadays persons are making some weird shit.
"Kay. What is this mysterious wine called?"
"It's actually fermented strawberry wine but we British people called it Strawberry n Pulp."
"That's so interesting!"
"England's culture and history is very interesting and mysterious."
I listened and stared at Damion in awe. He's such a smart and proud guy when he speaks about England, his home country. I then dug into my meal. It was so amazing.
"So Damion, tell me about yourself?"
"Well, I was born in London, in my childhood to adolescence, I was homeschooled and tutored to be the next heir to my father's company, The Edison's Shipping and Courier chain of companies."
"You're actually the son of Oliver Edison? I knew that I've saw you before on TV."
"In the flesh."
"Wow! Just Wow! But I thought you would be married to a spoiled, bratty gold digger woman already."
"No I'm not married because all the women my father picked out for me were after my inheritance and sexual skills." He then winked after that statement
I definitely blushed so hard a for second before regaining my composure.
"Whoa! That sounds terrible."
"Yes it is. I made an agreement with my father that if I worked as the C.E.O of the Glasdale branch, I could marry any woman of my choice."
"So, you're searching for the right woman huh?"
"Yes, for four years and finally I think I've found her."
"Really? Who?"
"That's a secret for now."
Time skip
Damion and I left the restaurant hand in hand. I think I like him a lot.
"So Ashley, can I take you on another date?"
"Sure, but I should check my schedule for an available day then I'll tell you."
"Okay love."
"Well. We've arrived at my car, sooo I think we should kiss now."
I turn to look at Damion. He looked at me with surprise and shock.
"Did I just say that that out loud?"
"Yes you did love."
I blushed very hard once again. I felt like someone doused me in gasoline and set me on fire.
"I'm s-s-sorry Damion if I'm forcing you to kiss me. Maybe I should say goodbye and go."
Damion suddenly grabbed me by my waist and kissed me. I felt butterflies in my stomach and electricity on my entire body. He kissed me with passion and lust. After some time, he pulled away.
"Farewell love."
"Uhhhh yeah. Bye."
I watched Damion walked back to the restaurant. He had to wait on his driver. I rushed quickly into my SUV and close the door. I screamed. HE JUST KISSED ME! THE ONE AND ONLY DAMION EDISON! I waited for my body and emotions to calm down. I took a deep breath and started up my vehicle and drove home.
The Next Day
At the GPD
Ashley's POV
"OH MA GAD,HE KISSED YOU!" Khloe shrieked
"He did. I couldn't sleep because of it."
"Soooo. Did it felt good? Is he a good kisser?"
" Yes and obviously yes."
"Wow girl. You're so lucky. Damion is husband material."
"I know. Anyhoo, Damion and I are going on another date on Friday and he said he's going to invite his best friend."
"Sooo....."
"So that means I'm inviting you silly."
"We're totally going shopping today."
"Yeah girl."
Damion's POV
At His mansion located in Glasdaletopia Street.
"So, you kissed her without losing control." My forever loyal butler and servant, Amir Fantic states. "That's the first."
"I mean I almost lost control in the restaurant but I coped."
"Master, you need to drink more blood or you're gonna lose it."
"I've arranged with Drake so that issue is already solved."
"Is she the one you've been looking for 250 years?"
"Yes Ashley is my long lost bride, Alexandria."
"Master shall we start preparing for the ritual?"
"Yes Amir." I said, " We shall."
My evil laughter echoed through the manor.
Ashley's POV
Few days later,
At the Glasdale Mall
"That dress totally suits you Khloe."
"Really Ash."
"Sure it does. Now my turn!"
I ran through the selection of dresses in the store. I finally found a sparkly V- neck black cocktail dress which was designed by Gucci. It was beautiful and suitable for the date. I made a my way to the changing room.
"So what do you think khlo?"
"YOU LOOK GORGEOUS!" Khloe exclaimed, " If Damion saw you in this mind blowing dress, he will be so shocked and amazed."
My giddiness caused me to jump up and down with excitement.
"Let's wrap up our shopping and grab something to eat at the cute cafe we saw when we came in."
"Okay Ashley, my lucky bestie." She said while side hugging me
Khloe and I went to another store for shoes that definitely matched our outfits and went to Cafe Serro to eat.
"Hey Ash. You're nervous about this date are you ?"
"No. Why would you said that, I'm cool as a frickin cucumber."
"Girl you're literally zoning out a lot and you're bouncing your leg. Just calm down, nothing terrible is going to happen."
"I know. I'm just excited, that's all"
"Ok. Well we've got to go now and get ready for the double date I guess."
"Don't worry Khlo. I'm sure Damion's friend is cute and maybe a gentleman."
"I hope so. Maybe I should carry my mace just in case he's a perv."
I face palmed
"Khloe don't. Promise me you won't take it to the date." I pleaded
"Okay okay. I won't."
"You better."
"I always keep my promises. Except that one time I told your son if a bitch of an ex that you liked him a lot."
"Oh right. Kenny that crazy and evil bastard." I thought to myself.
"Ok. Let's go and get ready" I said to my best friend.
"Yeah."
After 5 minutes we arrived at the parking lot.
"Bye Ash."
"Oh Khlo remember that we both should be at his manor by 8:00. Okay."
"Yeah. See ya girl."
"Bye bestie."
Time skip
At Khloe's apartment
8:00pm.
"Hurry up Khloe!!" I shouted while honking my horn. "We're gonna be late."
"I'm coming. Don't wake up the neighbors!!"
Five minutes later, Khloe rushes out of her apartment in her pink cocktail dress and white high pumps which was kinda similar to my outfit but my dress was V- neck and my shoes were cream in color.
"Get in. What took you so long?"
Khloe entered my SUV and almost slammed the door. I looked at her angrily.
"Oops. Anyway I was busy putting on my flawless makeup. Calm your tits."
"I'm sorry. I'm just nervous about tonight."
"Remember what I told you at the Cafe. And take deep breaths."
"Thanks Khlo."
"What friends are for. Now let's go. It's 8:09."
"Hey. It's your fault we're already late."
I drove out of Khloe's street and made my way to Glasdaletopia were Damion's manor was. I have a unsettling feeling that something bad was going to happen.
