This one week away from the children has been fine though I miss them so much. I am happy though that I can do what I studied. Not that I hate my nannying job. Its the best that has ever happened to cross my path. But this is different,I get to showcase my abilities in the business world. This is what I spent sleepless nights aiming at. Business has been going well.

Matthew is impressed by what I have to offer and he has been able to earn contracts that meant more billions for him. I am glad I am helping.

Today being a weekend,I didn't have to report to work. Matthew let me sleep in so I decided to call my mum so that I can talk to the children. After listening to the children's adventures and ofcourse Quisha crying once she heard my voice, I got out of bed to get ready.

After I was done with my routine,I called room service to order my lunch since it was already past breakfast time.

Strolling to the suite living room, I noticed a box with a card with the inscription:

I couldn't help but smile. I opened the box and my oh my, the dress was gorgeous. It was a strapless, pale-grey dress of semi-embroidered fabric and flared out a bit. A V-slit on the side revealed a less embroidered under fabric. I loved it. It was a perfect fit.

After my lunch. I watched movies as I waited for time to pass by so I could start getting ready. At around 5:30pm,I started getting ready. I was done by 6:45pm anticipating the arrival of Matthew. Hopefully I wont embarrass myself tonight.

At exactly 7pm,Matthew entered the room. He looked so handsome and ravishing.The suit he was wearing was black....sharp-looking, and well-fitted. Exactly the sort of thing that a woman would pick out for her man to wear to a formal event like this.

This was something that made me a bit nervous. And when he smiled, it was magical. He held out roses for me. I thanked him and placed them in a jar by the table. He held out his arm for me which I took hesistantly and he whispered,"You look gorgeous".

I felt shivers down my spine when his voice sounded through my ears. I just wanted to throw my hands around his neck and kiss but I knew it was wrong. He led me to the waiting limosuine,opened the door and we sped off to our destination in silence.

I entered the room to pick her up and there she was.

Her figure sat well on her wafer-thin body. She had a decanter shaped waist and her complexion had an impeccable, ochrous hue. Her pencil-thin eyebrows eased down gently to her black, beetle’s-leg eyelashes.When she broke into a smile, her beguiling, oyster-white teeth lit up the room. It could jolt you like an electric current when that megawatt smile gave you her full attention.

Filed to perfection, her red fingernails ran through her hair. Spools of it plunged around her photogenic face and hid a swan’s neck, elegant and smooth. I loved her eyes. They just draw me in with their sparkle and innocence. They were like two jewels melted onto snow.

Her lips,calamine-pink and plump.Her strapless, pale-grey dress of semi-embroidered fabric accentuated her thin waist, hugged her hips, and flared out a bit.

I held out the roses I had with me,she gracefully moved to put them in a jar. I just couldn't keep my eyes off her. I will be the envy of most guys at the dinner today.

"You are gorgeous",I whispered in her ear. I felt her tense up and blush.

I wished I could taste her inviting lips. Just a mere glance at her awakened a beast in me that I didn't want to tame but had to if we were to make it out the door. I helped her to the limosuine and we were whisked off to our destination.

The way to the hotel where the dinner was being held was in silence. I still looked at her through the corner of my eye but she wouldn't spare me a glance.

I helped her out of the limo,and we were immediately attacked by the paparazzi. "Sir who is the gorgeous lady beside you?","Is she your new girlfriend?"."Did she accept the kids?".

We were bombarded by all those questions but she kept her composure and smiled at the camera.

Everyone's eyes were on her. I was jealous because the men kept undressing her with their eyes.

I possessively held her waist earning her glares from the women who wished they were her. All through this she was composed,smiled and started conversation with people. Just my right kind of woman. Composed,outgoing,simple and graceful.

I gave my speech but all the while,my eyes were fixed on her and hers on me. The smile never left her face once.

"Shall I have this dance with the most beautiful lady here today?",I asked her bowing my head and holding out my hand to her. She held it and I guided her to the dance floor.She tried to ignore the stares we received.

At last, we took our places and waited for the soft flow of music to begin. Once it started,we circled each other, our gaze remained locked. I placed my hand on her back, her hand on my shoulder, and our free hands finally met. Together, we danced to the music, our feet in perfect sync to the beating of my heart.

As the song progressed she felt relaxed, and allowed a small smile to form on her lips. She was perfect. Her eyes were deep and irresistible. One thing was for sure… I was one lucky guy to hold her.Every moment, every angle seemed to be planned in advance. Nothing felt forced; I literally thought I was floating.

“Matthew” she whispered, “everyone is looking at us.”

I squeezed her hand slightly and smiled. “Really,” I chuckled softly, “I haven’t noticed.”

She smiled and lay her head on my chest.With that, I knew.I need not say more. My heart, my whole being was now hers and hers alone. We continued swaying side to side for some time,then I guided her back to our table.

As I continued chatting with other business people,I noticed she was bored.

"You seem bored,we can leave now",I whispered go her.

"Its okay don't mind me,finish up with whatever you are doing then we can go",she replied shyly. Being the gentleman I am,I bid my associates farewell,held out my hand which she gladly took and we left the dinner.

"You didn't have to",she said as we approached our car.

"I know I didn't have to but I wanted to",I replied with a smirk.

The ride back to our hotel was silent though I still held Josie's hand. When we arrived back at the hotel,we just wished each other goodnight and went to our respective rooms.

I wanted to spend time with her alone tomorrow and I was so looking forward to it.
