In love with my Driver ✔

Five

Melinda was used to spending Friday evenings with either Nate or Desourire. But today, she had ditched both of them. She gave them an excuse about having some work to do so she could go on a date with Alexander.

Alex and Mel's relationship has been going on well and Melinda has been enjoying every bit of it. They have managed to keep their relationship a secret but Mel knew at some point, she would have to tell people who were close to her. Most especially now that Desourire had started suspecting something. Till then she wanted to enjoy things privately with Alex.

Melinda and Alexander have not gone farther than kissing and a little bit of smooching.

Seeing that Alex would be here any minute from now, Mel went for a quick shower and dressed up in something very simple and she looked so gorgeous as well as comfortable. She had put on one of her favourite black dresses.

A few minutes later, the doorbell rang and Mel rushed to open it. Standing right there was the most handsome man in the world. The man who succeeded in breaking the walls she had built around herself. The man who she was starting to fall in love with. Alexander Ducan. Standing right there with a banquet of red roses in his hands and a charming smile plastered to his face.

"You look so gorgeous, my love," Alex said which made her blush.

"Don't hide it from me. I love it when you blush. It makes you look sexier." Alex said which made Mel blush even more and that earned a chuckle from him.

"Here, I brought this for you," He handed her the red roses.

Mel collected it with a smile and inhaled it. "Thank you." She muttered after which she went to place it in a vase.

"You ready?" Alex asked when she came back and Mel nodded. They both stepped out from Mel's apartment and she locked the door behind them.

Alex intertwined his hands with hers, she shivered as goose pimples erupted through her body. Alex noticed and smiled at that. He was glad he had a great effect on her as she did on him.

Alexander guided Melinda to his car and helped her settle down in the front passenger's seat.

Though Alex's car was not as luxurious as all the cars Melinda was used to. The car was just average and motorable. It was what Alex could afford and Mel did not seem to have a problem with that.

At first, the ride was very quiet. Alex glanced to look at Mel and he saw her playing with her fingers as she was looking outside the window. Alex knew Mel too well. He knew she was nervous so he took his right hand into hers and gave it a light squeeze while his left hand still grabbed the steering wheel.

" I want you to feel free when you are with me. you don't have to be nervous"

Mel nodded with a smile on her face.

"So, where are we heading to?" She asked.

"Somewhere you will love," Alex replied with a smile.

Soon enough, they both arrived at their destination. Alex got down first and hurried to open the door for Mel.

"You don't have to do that, you know." Mel chuckled as she accepted Alex's hand as he assisted her in getting out of the car.

"I just want to, Mel. You are my Queen; the one I adore so you shouldn't be treated any less." Alex said after which he pulled Mel closer to him. He kept his hands on her lower back and they made their way into the restaurant.

Melinda was overwhelmed by Alex's statement." Being his Queen and he adores her." His words melted her heart which made her fall more in love with him.
