"I know you don't know me, but we can start off by getting to know ourselves first. I sincerely do like you and I wasn't able to slept off last night after you rejected my proposal to you" Cindy said sadly and Peter gulped as he felt sorry for her.
"Am sorry if you felt bad, but I thought we're two different people. Am honestly from a poor home and not rich or classy like you're. But you already have a car, and probably from a rich home too. I like you, but.. I don't want to be seen as wasting your time. Try and understand with me" Peter said as he stared to Cindy whom bited on her lower lips.
"No. I love you and am serious about you. I don't care if you have a car or not, but I do like you and am serious" Cindy blushed, and Peter knew that she was been honest to him and he asked, "How about your family?. What will you tell them about me if they found out?."
"Forget about my family" Cindy frowned and unhook Peter's seat belt, inhaling Peter's sweet masculine scent and she said,"My family cannot decide for me about my happiness."
Cindy leaned over to Peter as she was going crazy about Peter, wanting Peter to pull her and kissed her. As after hugging Peter before, all her body was hot and electrifying for Peter to hold her the more, but she wasn't ready to be hold up yet.
"But.." Peter walked to spoke.
"No but.. Let go down now and hang out and you will give me your house address today. That black man almost scared the life out of me" Cindy said, as she chuckled and smiled sweetly to Peter, while Peter knew Cindy was talking about Tom, so he gulped all he wanted to said and sighed as he pushed his sidedoor opened and stepped down from Cindy's black car.
Cindy was more that excited and so she walked into the eatery with Peter, holding Peter's hand and she could saw the looked of jealousy curved on some pretty women's faces as Peter was so handsome and too charming for a man.
Peter's height, bodily stature and also handsome looks, magnet a lot of ladies to stared to him, as he walked into the eatery with Cindy.
"Private seat please?" Cindy requested, as she wanted to be alone with Peter as she didn't liked how some of the ladies Kept staring to Peter.
Cindy didn't wanted another lady to shamelessly walked up to Peter at her viewed and proposed to Peter, so she automatically became possessive of Peter, like Peter was her asset and she already acquired him.
Peter sighed and followed Cindy upstairs to the private table if two seat set for them, and they both sat down while Cindy blushed and she smiled sweetly to Peter, as she placed her elbows to the table and her both palms to support her cheeks, blushing sweetly like a young lady that has just recently falling in love.
Peter was forced to smile with her as Cindy's genuinely smile was contagious and charming and Peter sat relaxed in his own seat across to her, while the waitress approached them to took their menu.
"What will you like to be served?" The young waitress asked Cindy first, and Peter next as she showed the menu containing the list of the foods that they had.
"What will you like to have?" Cindy asked Peter in return, while Peter only sighed as he knew with the level.of fancy and the look of the restaurant, all their meals would be costly and he didn't wanted to spent much off from Cindy's pocket, as he wouldn't be able to paid for it, if Cindy changed and decided to left him.
"Not to worry, Am fine" Peter replied honestly but Cindy frowned and spoked, "Don't mind him. Serve us two plates of Chicken pepper-soup, with intercontinental rice, garnished with fish sauce and fruit juice to dilute it."
"What?! Cindy.." Peter's jaw dropped, knowing that all Cindy was requesting off would be expensive and Cindy smiled to him and stared back to the young beautiful waitress.
"Two plates please and don't keep us waiting" Cindy said.
"Alright ma'am." The young waitress bowed and left them, while Peter became restless.
"You cannot order for two plates, I don't have the money to pay for it.." Peter said, and Cindy stared to him in silence, not responding as the young waitress also didn't took to long to arrived, and she served them round.
Peter wanted to protest further but seeing the serious look on Cindy's face, he sighed and relaxed and watched the young waitress served him first.
Cindy didn't said anything as she watched Peter slowly, and she finally picked up her spoon to started eating.
"Ain't you eating?. I didn't asked you to paid for it, And please stop reminding me that you don't have money. I know before I approached you okay. Now eat and still don't forget to give me your house address. Tomorrow after finishing with one of my client law case, I will come visiting you tomorrow as we have only one case to attend too in court."
Peter gulped as he meet Cindy's beauty gazed on him and Cindy winked to him as she extended her right spoonful to him.
"Or do you want me to start feeding you before you start eating?" Cindy asked romantically as she extended her right hand holding out her spoonful of rice to Peter's mouth and Peter sighed and rejected her lovely gesture, as he finally picked up his own spoon and Cindy smiled to him rather and resumed eating her meal after withdrawing her extended hand back into her mouth.
Peter picked up his owned spoon and started eating. After finishing all the meals requested with Cindy, and Cindy still didn't forgot to asked him, "So how about your house address?."
Peter stared to Cindy not knowing what to said and he replied, "I don't have a house."
"You're lying to me or you don't want me to know your house too?" Cindy asked him sadly.
"No.. Why should I lie?.. I Honestly don't have a house and am serious about that. I stay and lived under bridge with some of my colleagues and that's the truth.." Peter admitted as he stared away.
Cindy's jaw dropped at first in awareness and she didn't knew what to said in rejection.
"Are you sure about this, or you're just lying to me. Fine wait, let me clear off the bills, then you take me to the under bridge you're talking about" Cindy insisted as she walked away.
"Okay" Peter replied, as he waited and watched Cindy cleared all their bills and the amount of money she paid, all his life savings in his bank account wasn't up to it, just for a single meal they ate once.
Peter cussed poverty inwardly in his heart as he was hurt seeing Cindy cleared his bills, and he cussed why his fate turned out to be like that.
Peter had searched for jobs, submitting numerous application to different companies but still none wanted to took him in even as he was a graduate.
Peter sighed defeatedly as he walked out back with Cindy to where she had parked her car and Cindy still couldn't believed what Peter told her.
Cindy thought Peter was lying to her, so she insisted Peter must took her to where he slept and woke up everyday, and on arriving at the under bridge location, Cindy gasped seeing some more other people there and she couldn't believed her eyes that immediately turned teary.
"Why?. Here?!" Cindy felt her heart ached as she pointed to the under bridge, and she immediately ran back to her car, while Peter stood worriedly not knowing if to followed Cindy back to her car or not.
Peter watched as Cindy got into her car sadly sobbing, and she slammed her car door shut and ignited on her engine while drove off rapidly, making him to felt sorry for her.
Peter turned and walked back frustratedly to meet Tom and he saw some others that were previously sleeping under the bridge, were now standing and staring to him as he approached.
