“ Mum you look quite beautiful, where are you headed to?” 

Elgreen asked, and I winked at him. 

“ I don't think I'm very sure, but I hope it will be to..” 

I decide to pause for a while, still staring at him. 

I had almost Spiller the tea, but I refrained. 

It all has to go well and according to plan, befor I could ever let him in on his father's identity. 

Now was just not the time. 

“ Well, I have a dinner with my colleagues at work.” 

He smirked, “ oh okay then, stay safe.”

He chipped in and strolled away to Elsa. 

I stared at the wristwatch on my wrist. 

“6:03”

I guess I'll have to leave now. 

I dialled a number on my phone. 

“ Hello, Damson. I'm ready now” 

I hung up, and picked my bag. Walking out of the house, and into the yard, to the drive way. 

There Damson already parked waiting on my appearance. 

Sighting me, he came down to open the door. 

“ Good day Ma'am. 

Such a beautiful lady under the beautiful weather.” 

I smiled, and looked up to sky. 

The weather was indeed beautiful as the sun prepared to rest for the day, but grey skies were looking ahead. 

“ thank you gentleman.” 

He bowed slightly, holding the door open for me. 

“ It's my pleasure” 

As soon as he said this words, a loud bang echoed from the sky nearby. 

Lightning had struck,and thunder accompanying it. 

I paused briefly, out of initial shock, and turned to him. 

He smiled, “ yeah that's nature. And I guess at this time of the year, we'd get to experience him often don't we?” 

He asked, and I nodded slowly. 

He shut the door, and walked to get in the car. 

Damson had been my driver for the longest time running. 

Not that I had any real use for him, but he still was under my payroll.

I didn't really need a driver for myself. Just for occasions like these. 

And he was a very happy and jovial gentleman. 

Tall, dark , a little lanky with a moustache. 

I couldn't be oblivious of how much the girls loved him, and how they tried to flock around him especially when he took one of the cars for a spin around town.

So long he did his job diligently I didn't really care about his lifestyle. 

He soon switched the radio on. 

And after the first jam, the presenter came on. 

“ And just as was forecasted earlier today by the meteorological institute of The Creeks. We now have grey clouds over the sky, and a heavy downpour is expected tonight…” 

He hissed, and interrupted.

“ Yeah man of course we know. The sky is clearly grey, next!” 

He changed the station, and looked back to see my reaction. 
I smiled slightly, and he shrugged.

“ Unnecessary bits of information all the time, and it's Honestly boring you know.” 

I nodded in agreement, while he faced the road. 

“ Here we are. The car should pull up now Ma'am. We're here.”

I reached for my phone and I dialled the number. 

“ Where are you?” 

They had spotted my car, and were right behind me. 

“ Damson I need an umbrella.” 

He quickly ran his hands through the car, and slid one out. 

“ Hold on Ma'am” 

He got out, and opened the door. 

The umbrella open. 

The rain had began to drizzle. 

He guided me to the SUV parked behind the car. 

“ This the car yeah?” 

He asked, and I nodded. 

Some men can down to receive me, and took over from Damson. 

“ Alright boy, You take care. I'll call you when I need.” 

He nodded and ran back to the car. 

I was helped into the back seat of the SUV. 

Heavily tinted, and in minutes we were at the restaurant.

Arenas was more than a restaurant actually. 

Although it could boast of the best variety of dishes across different flavours. 

And quite an expensive place to dine. With love performances from quite popular bands. 

I stepped down from the vehicle, umbrella in my hand, and I walked into the reception. 

Turning briefly to wave the escorts bye. 

“ Good day Ma'am how can I help you?” 
The young lady sitting over the desk asked, getting up her feet. 

I was lost in the ambience, and the melody from the piano playing not quite far away from where I stood. 

Accompanied by a colourful choreography. 

She smiled and tapped the desk to draw my attention. 

“ Hello Ma'am, how can I help you?” 

I turned to her with a smile on my face. 

“ yeah that's true. 

Take a quick look at this.”

I handed over a card to her. 

She took it, and after scanning, she nodded her head. 

“ Mr Rocks!. That is the spot over there, you are welcome to the Arenas  voens Florés.”

Soon a male waiter came to me, holding a glass of wine in his hand. 

“ Hello mademoiselle, I see you're soaking up the splendor of the night. 

Must be your first time here am I wrong?” 

I smirked at him, and chuckled. 

“ Go away” 

He came closer, and I waved my palm at him. 

“ Oh. I'm sorry to have caused you any form of discomfort my queen”

He bowed and left. 

I shook my head, turning to the female receptionist. 

“ Where? Show me. Is he here yet?” 

I asked her, and she shook her head. 

“ Uhm.. not really. But I guess you are quite early on this one. 

You could get the party started before he makes his arrival don't you think? 

Maybe pour yourself a likkle liquor while the entertainers do their job. 

Don't worry, I'll make you comfortable”

She stretched her hand for me to follow, as she signalled her colleague to fill the space. 

I took her to a corner. 

“ Hey, take a look at me. 

Not too obvious, tell me about the fit.” 

She paused, and quite stylishly took a glance at me. 

“ Hmm. Okay! This is something.” 

The accessories complement the dress a hundred percent. 

You are a hell of a stylist!” 
She raised her palm, and I obliged.

She took me to the seat, and after I took my seat, another waiter came by. 

But before he could say anything, she signalled him to walk away. 

“ Mr Rocks had instructed that we personally take care of the day.

It will not be about the menu, but about what you want.”

“ That's interesting” 

I commented and she shrugged.

“ You're a lucky one to have such a guy.” 

I smirked almost immediately. 

I noticed a tall bulky dude with dark glasses walking towards us. 

“ Who is he?” 

I asked.

“Who?” 

She turned quickly to look at the man.

“ Uhm…” 

“ Ma'am stay on your guard.” 

She walked towards the man, giving hand signs to someone behind.”
