CHAPTER 6 - DINNER
After relaxing in the afternoon, the young girl with the golden locks whose name was Ariane asked Natasha to go down to the village restaurants at the town hall. Natasha readily agreed. At he back of her mind she was thinking of Damien and hoping she would bump into him again, But what then of Paul? what do I do with him? wondered Natasha. All the while she was very aware of the young girls piercing blue eyes looking at her; and she was feeling rather uncomfortable.to avoid any unwanted alliances Natasha started talking loudly and laughing all the while so as to distract Ariane. this tactic seemed to work as Ariane began chatting animatedly about a love she was interested in and that was her reason to go to dinner at the town hall. So as dusk fell Natasha and Ariane slipped into comfortable, sensuous floral dresses with dainty sandals on their feet and flowers adorning their hair the two young girls headed towards town.
The two young damsels skipped gaily down the road to the village restaurants, as they approached the line of restaurants they were feeling excited. The pathway to them was lit up with colorful bulbs. This was a very attractive sight. They walked along the restaurants and settled at a small but cozy diner. Everyone sat outside. Meanwhile Natasha was scanning the area to spot Damien; when she thought she spotted Paul much to her dismay. The girls were enjoying their dinner and the much anticipated evening was drawing to a close when Natasha spotted a tall dark stranger with his back towards her, he had somewhat long hair. Her heart gave a leap as she instantly recognized Damien. She adjusted herself and was trying her best to attract his attention when all of a sudden Ariane leapt for joy at the sight of her beau Oliver. He was a cute sandy haired boy who was in animated conversation with Damien look alike and a couple of other young men. Immediately Ariane headed towards the direction of Oliver and Natasha decided to follow her. Just as she anticipated she attracted Damien's curiosity and attention. He was very interested in knowing who the new arrival was. And Natasha herself being very good looking and of a friendly disposition there was much camaraderie.
Eventually there was a small gathering of young men and women exchanging each others ideas, in the course of conversation about space Damien humorously asked Natasha " Can I orbit around your space station"? and without batting an eyelid Natasha answered " I will send a satellite and let you know" . this brought about much cheer, there was lots of merry making whilst downing beer and wine. As the night went on Damien and Natasha hit it off well dancing with each other; and Ariane and Oliver were in loving embrace. Finally the two gallant young men decided to walk their beauties home and wished each other good night and vowed to see each other again. Damien gave Natasha a big hug under the moon lit sky while dropping her at her door step. He planted a soft kiss on her forehead. Natasha could not have felt better and she was already looking forward to spending more days with Damien.
