Evelyn got home then took a nap, heaven knows she needed that rest. She was grateful to be having the rest of the day off. She dozed off and woke up by 2:00 PM and then decided to text Lee saying she was at home already, so no need to come pick her up.

Then she went into the bathroom took her bath very elated that her plans to befriend Eric is already in place, and it's first stage was kicking off tonight.

She still couldn't believe the fact that tonight she will be going out with the almighty Eric Aragon. She was so excited that she played music while dancing in the bathroom, she spent over an hour in there. She finally came out and decided to look her best, she had acted like she wasn't interested in being close to him but now she has to put in an effort. She opened her closet and began searching for what to wear, when she looked into her closest she found out that most of her clothes were either for the gym or work.

So she looked round and decided to wear what she could find in her party bag. After the long search, she finally saw a white jumpsuit quite appealing, the jumpsuit was an off shoulder one. So she ironed it and sprayed it, by the time she was done arranging the dress the time was few minutes past five. So she started applying her make-up on her face, She may be living in the slums but when it comes to looking good, she is way better than an elite person. She then dressed up and then her face lit up. She wore her dress by the time she was ready, it was 7:30PM. So she headed to their scheduled meeting place, just as she was few steps away from there. A car pulled up by her side, it was Eric's driver. She was quite surprised but she entered into the car and they drove straight to the scheduled place. As they got there, a beautiful sight appeared before her eyes then they drove in, and there he was.

ERIC'S POV

I couldn't wait for tonight, after I left the suite I went straight home. Thank goodness Betty wasn't home because she will so tease me, so I went straight to my closet and began looking for something intriguing to wear after minutes of searching through. I ended up choosing a turtle neck long sleeve and a black jacket, cause it would be very cold today and I then found matching shoes.

I looked at the mirror and while doing that I imagined being smiled at by her. Gosh I wish I get to see that smile everyday.

After hours of day dreaming he then walked into the bathroom and cleaned up, permed his hair backwards and he looked even more ravishing, yes and he knew this.

I bet you could say he was showing off but he is quite handsome, he knows that deep down. He then called on Cole to go pick her up from the meeting place which was few buildings away from her work place.

Its not that he doesn't know where she lives, but he doesn't want to be perceived as a stalker nor scare her off like that. So he needed to be smart cause he couldn't lose her. After the phone call he hung up and then began dressing up after which he left for his date.

It was a beautiful and well decorated sight and it was close to a body of water. The place is really a beautiful sight to behold, Eric was already seated waiting desperately to see her, while waiting he received a text from Ethan that he was at the airport.

This made Eric so excited, but he couldn't possibly go pick him up cause he has his hand full at the moment. His mind was elsewhere, so he replied and told him that his driver will come pick him up. Immediately he was through texting, a car pulled up a mile away and he was already feeling nervous. Since his back was turned to them, no one would suspect it. So he took a deep breath and turned. What he saw made him gasp for breath.

'She is truly an angel, I mean my guardian angel.' Eric thought.

Evelyn's POV

When the car pulled up, I could see a faint light a mile away seems I will have to walk there, its a good thing am used to high heels. So I alighted from the car and began walking as slowly as I can, I needed to show I have a wealthy blood in me. So I saw him from afar he couldn't take his eyes off me and seeing him standing there all looking handsome, I couldn't help but have a slight feeling of ownership. 'What am I thinking of again this time?'

While battling with my feelings and inner thoughts, Eric walked up to me and what he said made my heart stop for a moment right there.

"Evelyn Morse you look gorgeous"

While saying that he held my hands and led me to a table filled with candles, it is more like a romantic view, the rose petals on the table and the chairs decorated with flowers you would think it was a wedding anniversary occasion or a proposal site. He finally let go off my hand and pulled out a chair for me which I sat and then he poured me a glass of wine, then he sat down staring at me.

While they were busy staring at each other, a waiter arrived and served them food. So Eric beckoned her to eat and since she was starving no hesitations.

So while eating, Evelyn decided to speak up.

"Eric this is a beautiful scenery, I love the view it's lovely"

Eric was loss of words cause her beauty surely made him tongue tied. So he just nodded and said,

"I am glad you like it"

So they ate silently, and after eating they decided to get acquainted with each other.

"So Evelyn Morse, tell me what you think of me"

"Well you sure look like a gentleman and the way you pulled out the chair for me earlier confirmed it"

So they both laughed and talked all through the night.

~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile 2 hours drive away, Ethan Jones was fuming with rage. He had been at the airport for over an hour, yet not a car in sight. So he boarded a taxi and went straight home, immediately he got home he could perceive that aroma of chicken, his anger suddenly turned to happiness. It's been a long time he perceived that particular aroma. He immediately walked towards the house, luckily for him the door wasn't locked. He then saw his mom and Ella busy in the kitchen and tears of happiness welled up in his eyes.

He loudly called out

"Mom, little sis I am home"

Hearing his voice, Ella yelled

"Mom, its Ethan"

So Betty and Ella dropped the utensils they were holding and ran to him as fast as their legs could, they group hugged and held onto each other neither wanting to let go.

So Eric said amidst tears "I have missed you both so much"

Betty was the most happiest, she hugged him so tight that he could hardly breath, but no complains from him. He actually missed his family, now he is back to fill the void his dad left. After disengaging from each others arms, Betty went back into the kitchen to continue with dinner, it was a welcome party for her son after all. So she had to make a sumptuous meal.

Ella took her brother by the hand and they went to her room, Ethan couldn't believe how much his little sister has grown into a cute lady. He just kept looking at her, they talked a lot until Betty called out that dinner was ready. Ethan and Ella both raced down, Ethan couldn't wait to indulge himself into his mom's cookings. He was so tired of eating pizzas and barbecues. It was time to eat to his fill. So he ate until he couldn't anymore. After which they talked all night long.

~~~~~~

Eric and Eve were getting along just fine to the point they were both giggling and drinking like they've known each other for a long time. Eric then held out his hands beckoning for Eve to hold onto his, which she did and they both decided to walk around the body of water. Seeing that she was feeling the cold and not ready to let her go just yet, he pulled out his jacket and placed it on her back, his hands touched her soft skin on her shoulder while he did that and he wanted more of her right there. But he didn't want to lose her he couldn't possibly survive that. So they kept walking and then he stopped abruptly, Eve stopped as well he looked straight into her eyes and summoned every courage he had and told her,

"Evelyn you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen and I feel like I have always known you, can we be friends? I know am a cold and arrogant person but please be my friend, you are the only lady I have ever been this close to except for my mum, Nanny and sisters, so please you'll be doing me a great favour by being my friend"

Evelyn smiles and held his hands tightly and then replied

"We are already friends remember? That's why I agreed to come here with you in the first place"

Hearing this Eric grinned and they both laughed, he then brought out a rose and she inhaled it and said,

"Thanks Eric, its so beautiful and it smells nice"

"I am glad you love it"

That's how time flew by and when he checked his wrist watch, it was already 11:50 almost midnight. So they called it a day and he walked her to the car, they drove her home. After which Eric opened the door for her and walked her to her doorstep and what happened next was shocking even to me not to talk of Eric who was actually there.

Evelyn hugged Eric and gave him a peck on his cheek and then said

"Goodnight Eric I loved dinner"

With that she went inside, while Eric stood at her doorstep confused, elated and bewildered all at the same time, to the point that it was a bodyguard of his that walked up to him and tapped him, that actually brought him back to reality and he left with him and entered into the car and they drove him home. At that moment Eric was the most happiest man on earth that night.
