I wore a polka dot t-shirt with a high waist jeans and tucked the t-shirt in the jeans capris. Then I put on high heeled boots and a light make up and walked downtown. There, I waited for Steve. I took a bottle of martini from my carrier bag and quaffed it till it finished. I felt relieved. Then I saw Steve's rolls Royce. Steve came outside and dragged me closer to him,"I have Dr Patterson with me and if he sees you in my car, he'll be suspicious and must want to know what's going on. He's at the rear seat and you have to pretend that I'm your boyfriend", Steve said quietly. "Your what…..tell him I'm your cousin", I said thinking differently but Steve furrowed his brows,"I accidentally told him that you're my girlfriend". I turned red immediately,"Steve you.....", I was about to retort when Dr Patterson rolled his window down and gazed at us. He was like fifteen years older than Steve in his late thirties or early forties. He was aft with strawberry blonde hair and small grey eyes.
Steve quickly pulled me to himself and gazed at me."Hey baby", He said . I was so confused that I didn't utter a word. Then he pushed me much closer and his lips were on mine, pulling at it and I was on fire. His hands were around my waist, close to my fanny. He pressed me harder and the kiss became long and intense. Then I managed to pull away from him. "What the….", I was about whispering it to Steve when from the corner of my eyes, I realized Dr Patterson was watching us even though he later rolled the windows up. I Walked to the other side, dazed and pulled open the door and slid in the passenger's seat with Steve. Steve slid his right hand in my left hand and drove with only his left hand. I was puzzled. I found him squeezing my hand and using his thumb to stroke the back of my palms.
But he was busy speaking to Dr Patterson about all those medical stuffs and whatever. I was still confused. But my confusion was drawn back when I realized that we're at the airport and Dr Patterson was gone.
"He's actually traveling to Paris and he won't bother us now", Steve said. Our hands were still locked in each other and my cheeks became red as the both of us slipped our hands away from each other's at the same time.
I turned away from Steve,"Never throw me off guard like that again".
"I should have told you I know", Steve said still looking at the windscreen as he stopped the car.
"Let's just go and sign in", I said changing the topic.
Signing in wasn't what was bothering me. It was what Dr Patterson said about me to Steve outside the car when Steve insisted on escorting Dr Patterson to his plane.
"You've gotten a new one. What happened to the old one. The old one was staking you. The old one was better. This one just got shape, a big fat ass and gigantic tiddies. Don't go for the one with the fat ass, big boobs, wide hips and rubenesque body. Go for the one with the brain and the money"
I thought a bit and let my mind change thoughts and I chose to forget about the talk and focus on what's ahead.
Steve arranged everything. The flight and we flew first class. I always yearned for first class traveling since when I was eight years old. We sat beside each other.
"You still mad?",Steve asked showing concern
I hesitated,"I never knew you were a good kisser", I said which made Steve chuckle. He didn't say anything.
"I thought you were filled to the gills with doctor and medical stuffs. I never knew you could be like this", I said and this time, Steve laughed.
"I'm sorry to allow that to happen. It's because of Dr Patterson and his inquisition about everything"
"Next time. Introduce me as your cousin for future reference", I cautioned
"Finally. Now tell me, do you have interest in Chinese"
