They drove to one of the fanciest restaurants in town, Betty knew where this was because back then when she her and nix were still together and still caught up in their love ecstasy. Nix usually brought Betty here always and she had noticed that they barely had lunch with other couples they were most likely given VIP treatment.
Walking into an almost empty but romantically decorated place wasn't able to surprise but she became skeptical having to know that Nix would have done this for her
"Like it?" he asked with a grin on his face
She nodded
Out of the blue, the lights went off, Betty felt her heart throb rhythmically her hands felt cold and she quivered
"Nix?" she said in a low tone
She saw something like a white material move.....was it a ghost?
Her heart jumped into her mouth that very instant, she began to look for nix who was no longer by her side
She prayed that the lights come on
Then she heard something like a kiss on the cheek, the lights finally came on as she wished but she was left with no words. It wasn't a ghost but a woman....and not just any woman but.....
"Betty I assume?" The lady in white Miss Lin asked walking over to the still-frozen Betty. Betty didn't respond but Miss Lin hugged her anyway and went back to where Nix stood smiling sheepishly at Betty's reaction
"It's just the beginning," nix thought to himself satisfied with the reaction he had gotten from Betty.
He held Miss Lin by the waist and led her to their seat, he gently pulled out the seat for her and she smiled at him. She put her purse behind her as she sat down and so did nix.
Nix looked at Betty
"You'll be our servant for the night," he said to her and turned to Miss Lin
"How do you like my surprise?".
"Am astonished by your work" she replied plainly
Betty still stood not knowing what else to do.
Miss Lin looked at the confused girl and back at Nix
"But why must she serve us?" she asked Nix.
"Because she's my servant," he said with a broad smile
"..."
"Or aren't you happy about it?"
"No phoenix"
Miss Lin looked at Betty
"You can sit with us"
Phoenix rolled his eyes...Betty finally moved
"You can get the waiters to serve us Phoenix," Miss Lin said to nix who nodded without objecting.
"Whatever you say"
The food was served but the trio hadn't still made a comment or word ever since Betty joined.
Miss Lin began to eat her food while Nix looked at Betty.
"Aren't you forgetting something?" he asked her harshly this time
"Sorry sir" Betty apologized and picked up his Cutlery to feed him.
"What are you trying to do?" Miss Lin questioned her
"It what's she's meant to do" Nix answered her
"Betty... "
"I'll wait in the car," Betty said and left immediately
"Why are you doing this?" Miss Lin asked
Nix just smiled and picked up his cutleries to eat.
After an hour or two the duo came out
"Tomorrow again?" Nix asked
"Not so sure" Miss Lin replied attempting to leave
"Without a hug?" Nix pouted. Miss Lin hugged him and left. Nix got into the car where Betty sat with her eyes closed as if she was asleep. He turned to the driver
"Let's go"
The driver nodded and sped the car onto the road even though he was worried as to why Betty refused to answer him ever she came into the car but he kept his questions to himself.
When they had gotten home, Betty immediately got down and rushed into the house. Nix didn't calm her back but went into the house.
....After Betty put the kids to bed she went to her room and lay on her bed. A tear fell from her eyes, she tried to hold them back by repeatedly blinking but it seemed she couldn't. She let the tears flow
"For now the day bleeds
into nightfall and you're not here
To get me through it all
I let my guard down and then you pulled the rope
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved"
her voice cracked on singing the last note
