Un rendez-vous avec toi
Zuri's Pov
Isn't odd that this man can get any woman he wants but yet still he wants to keep me captive. He probably was some womanizer, woman user, probably has several STDs or something. Maybe I was going too far. it's been two days since he wanted to burn my fucking hand off. I barely see him since then, sure he would come to my room to just stare for couple minutes then put some clothes on my bed then leave. My period has finish today but then I remember him asking when it would and stupidly I told him the truth. What if he wants to do the do with me. Honestly I was scared, I wasn't ready and I didn't want to have sex with him. I felt uneasy and nervous, it was almost like I had no say over my body and that made me sad, sad because I won't be able to stop him. It would be no use to fight him off, he had the upper advantages and he could do some serious damages. I walk over to the mirror and look at my reflection, my plaits look messy, there was food stain at the corner of my mouth, my eyes were swollen due to crying and I was sweaty due to nervousness. I began go back and forth, thinking of ways I could escape his advances.
.....
It was 6 pm and the place was getting dark. Chase hasn't showed up and that only made me more anxious. I couldn't even watch the television or eat, my mind was on Chase wondering what he was going to do. I sat on the bed smelling my self, well at least he could make me clean up before he do anything.
My heart dropped when I heard the open and in came Chase with what appears to be a bag in his right hand and folded clothes and heels on top of it. He walked over to my bed and place it beside me.
" Bonjour belle." He said. " I want to take you out tonight. I brought clothing and make up for you." His accent thick as ever.
" Why.." that's all I could say. I was so confused, is he really thinking of taking me out? Out in public?
" Well, I.. I don't know, I guess I want to take you out. Oui, yes I want to take you out on date." He said looking sheepishly.
" I- I don't understand. Why would you take me out on a date?" I asked. What was his plan, why was he doing this?
" I like you...yes, I like you and I want to take you out. I want us to be in a relationship Zuri." He said, rubbing his neck. I just sit there, staring at him, I didn't know what to say..so I say what first came to my mind.
" I don't want to be your girlfriend."
He looked at me and frowned for a sec before his face turned stern.
" You don't have a fucking choice. I will leave you,make sure you're dressed before I come back. I will leave for 1 and a half hour " He said sternly before he left and slammed the door.
Maybe this is a good opportunity for my escape, that is if he decides to bring us out in public. I got up and look at the clothing. I was a bit excited, because I will be in public and I haven't went outside in a while, not to mention this is the closest I will be to freedom and I have to try. I got up and look at the dress, it definitely wasn't something I would wear by choice. It looked tight, short and revealing. I opened my door and walked to the bathroom, I needed to shower first.
.........
The dress fit like a glove and that was unfortunate because I wasn't curvy at all and my butt was non existent, sure I had a small waist but if it wasn't small, I would've been built like a ruler. I sighed and hugged by arm feeling a bit self conscious. I didn't know how I was going to do my hair, it was now in it's natural 4c form. I looked in the bag to see that all he placed was lipgloss, mascara and a red lipstick. How was I supposed to do my hair?. I decided to do a low bun with a black ribbon I found. Surely the hairstyle didn't match the outfit but it has to do.
I put some mascara on and the lipgloss on. I sighed and looked on the mirror, I didn't look bad but I could've look better if I had a flat iron or even hair gel. I didn't really care for the makeup because I usually just go with lipgloss, it's not that I hated make-up it's just that I didn't know how to do it. I then heard my door opened and in come the devil himself Dressed in a black dressed shirt and dark jeans. He leaned on the door framed staring at me, his eyes going down to my black heels, all the up to my long legs then to my body and finally my face. His eyes were dark, and his face was serious, I couldn't read his emotions and that scared me, I didn't know what he was thinking and it's not like I could read his facial expression or anything.
" You look gorgeous." He said.
" Thank you."
He then walked up to me and hand me a black purse and I take it as he stares down at me. God he made me feel so small, it's not only his height, everything about him made me feel so small. He then place his hand on my lower back and guide me out the room. I swallow hard, feeling his warmth..he was so close to me. He then snake his arm around my arm and I felt his face in my hair as if he was smelling it.
" All I want to do is just devour you Zuri. Im trying my best to contain myself but I am a man after all, I won't be able to stop these urges anymore but first let me take you out." He said. Shivers run up my spine at his words.
........
He walked us out the front door and into to large front yard. It was night but the moon's reflections and the house lights give me enough light to see the massive fountain that was a angel of some sort, the bunch of cars parked in front, from vintage to exclusive modern cars. I turn around to look at the large gray house with vines all over it, it looked vintage from the outside but that didn't take away the beauty. It was beautiful and the over grown vines suit it very well. The house resembled the owner, dark, mysterious and beautiful.
He then lead me to a sleek black Toyota Camry. I don't want to seem picky but amongst the expensive sport cars and rare vintage ones, he chose a Toyota. Sure it looks good but I mean, he could've at least chose the Bugatti Veyron. He opened the passenger door for me and I got in and watch as he walked over to the driver seat. The car smelled like him and as much as I didn't want to admit it but it smelled nice. He got in and reverse the car and the gates automatically opened.
" Why do you have so much cars? It's about 12 there." I asked.
" My father liked cars." He said as he reverse out.
.....
The place was dark, completely dark. It was as if he lived in some forest or something, there was no light expect for his vehicle's.
" Do you live in a forest?" I asked. He chuckled showing his spaced teeth.
"You can say that." He said. He then turn the radio on to some old french music and of course la vie en rose was playing. I looked to his face and noticed a small smile, that was rare.
"This song remind me of my mother, she would've played it all the time in the house." He said. I noticed his smile was getting wider as he reminisced. His smile was so handsome and I felt something erupted in my lower stomach... butterflies. " She would sing it loudly as she baked her famous Millie feuille. She was such an amazing cook. Can you cook Zuri?"
" Um...yes." I answered.
"Maybe someday you can cook for me."
"Mmmm" I hummed. 'Someday'? how long those this man plan on keeping me.
" I can cook, I cook dinner for you and breakfast well not recently because I am busy." He said. " Do you enjoy my food Zuri?"
" It's aiit."
" Thank you." He said smiling. " I know you enjoy it Zuri because your plate is always clean." His tone was....playful?
"Oh"
" It makes me happy that- that you enjoy my cooking. My father said that i-... nevermind." I looked to him and his face was now serious. Damn this guy was bipolar, his emotions was on and off. Sometimes he would be calm, shy, flirty and mostly ..serious.
The drive was rather long and it took a hour or more before we began to see street lights and other vehicles. The drive was rather silent and I thanked god for the music because then the silence would be sufferable. It took us couple more minutes until we reached a large fancy building. He then parked is car in the parking lot and I was about to open my door until he looked at me sternly and so I left it. He went down and went for something in his compartment, a gun. He took the gun and point it at my forehead.
" Oh my god!" I began to panic.
" Relax,I won't kill you..I won't if you obey me and not try anything stupid. You will cost the life of yours and others Zuri, please make the right decision. For your sake, I won't hesitate. " He then moved closer to my face and whispered. " Don't worry after I kill you I will drag your body out of the building and fuck your corpse till decomposition. Zuri, I am a sick man....very sick man." Tears were running down my face involuntarily, he then stick out his long tongue and lick my teary cheeks and I felt my skin crawl.
" I p-promise I won't d-do anything!" I said trying to contain my tears.
" Good girl. " He then back away from me with the gun remaining in his hand, he then took out a handkerchief out of the compartment and throw it at me. " Wipe the tears." I then complied and watch as he opened his door and then walked over to mines. I watch as he put the gun in his waistband and place his shirt over it. I then follow behind him as he walked to the restaurant. There was a little voice in the back of my head, yelling at me to "run", I was stupidly considering it. The door was opened by the door man who greeted us, Chase then wrapped his hand around mines in a tight grip and walked us to the receptionist. The blonde lady looked up at us and her eyes soften at the sight of Chase. She then smiled and put her hair behind her ears.
" Bonne nuit à vous deux." She said. " Bonne nuit à vous deux?."
" Ahh oui, j'ai pris rendez-vous à la table de la fenêtre." He said. I was barely catching what he said but I assume he had made a reservation. The lady then looked in the book and her eyes brighten up.
" oui, la table de fenêtre est un choix si romantique!" She said smiling widely. "manquez votre chance d'avoir de tels messieurs, de vous amener à un si merveilleux rendez-vous" she then looked over to me smiling, I just smiled and nodded not knowing what she was saying. She then signal for a waiter to come bring us to our table. My head was held down as I followed the waiter, I could feel the eyes staring at me and I already felt self conscious already in this short revealing dress. I then bounced into the hard back of Chase, I immediately raise my head up but he just continued walking, ignoring what I just did.
" Voici." The waiter said as he show us the beautiful area that was in its own section. There was no other tables but one that was beside the large window. It was beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. The waiter walked us to the table and pull both of our seats out. I sat down and immediately looked through the window.
It was beautiful. " Beautiful isn't?" I heard him asked, I looked towards him and immediately regret it. His dark eyes were staring intensely on me, I immediately looked away. " Please don't... please don't be like that, I like looking at your face.."
" I'm sorry it makes me uncomfortable ." I said.
" Zu-"
" voici le menu, je reviens dans 5 minutes pour voir si vous êtes prêt à commander." The waiter interrupted us.
" Oui." Chase said. He took one of the menus and I took the other one. The waiter then walked away.
" What will you take Zuri?" He asked as he flip through the pages. I decided to but the words were in french and I can barely read it.
" I- I don't know french that good. " I said. He then looked at me and smirk.
" Okay, I will order for you." He then place down the menu and continue to stare at me. After a couple minutes the waiter came back to take our order.
" nous prendrons deux plats de Bouillabaisse,et pour l'accompagnement, deux assiettes de ratatouille et une bouteille de Chartreuse." He said. The waiter then wrote it down and said something before he walked away.
" I hope you will enjoy what I ordered. Have you ever eaten the famous meal, ratatouille?" He asked.
" No but I watch ratatouille before.." I chuckled. Okay, but why am I chucking? Why do I feel comfortable? I immediately straighten my face and continue to stare out the window.
" Your...hair , it's no longer straight...it's curly." He stretch his hands to touch my hair. I then shook his hands out of my hair."Zuri, I've never been on a date before....I don't know how to operate. I know it's strange for me, a 25 year old to never been on a date." I then look towards him, do he really think I will believe him?
" Oh please, I can't imagine the amount of women you've been with." I said.
" I said date not fucked. The first time I had ever had sex was when I was 19 and it was with a older woman that I was ordered to kill....no It wasn't rape, when she saw me in her house she immediately knew that her husband sent me so she dropped to her knees and begged me to pleasure her one last time before she die. I wanted to just kill her but her pleads and desperation was so arousing, I had to risk it all. I had low self esteemed and didn't really knew that women found me attractive, so I was also desperate for a woman's touch." He said. Today he was telling me a lot about himself and he doesn't normally do that.
" So did you kill her still?" I asked wanting to know more.
" Yes, well ....no. While I was in the bed she took my gun and aimed it at me, I panic but she then smiled sadly and thanked me before pointing the gun at her head and shooting herself."
" Why did you tell me all of that? I never asked for you to tell me about your first time, I don't know how the conversation lead to that?" I asked him genuinely confused.
" I guess I jumped at the opportunity to tell someone that. I think it's an interesting story, I felt like you needed to know about it." He said nonchalantly. "
