I waited.

I was dressed and waiting.

After the girls left this morning I had went upstairs, thrown myself on my very soft, very old, very comfortable bed and slept for 3 hours.

I woke up after sometime, realizing that it was past 12 in the afternoon so I did some laundry, whilst doing that I prepared dinner, I got done with all of that by quarter past 1, then I found myself in the bathroom taking a bath and shaving my legs.

When I get done I curled my hair and braided it at the side, I would have left it at that but it kept getting into my eyes.

I wore a simple white dress with slits on both sides and I took out my pink sneakers, I have no shortage of sneakers, seeing as I have a bad leg I can't wear heels.

I sit on my dresser, deciding to put on light make up, I did foundation first but decided to add a little blush, then a little eyeliner, I decided eyeliner looked silly without eye shadow so I did that too, then to top it off because it simply is a sin to make up with out mascara so I did that too, making my eyelashe extra long, my make up looked off without lipstick so I added a little cherry lipstick.

After I finish I realize I've done a full make up.

I wear silver droopy earrings and when I finish I stare at myself in the mirror.

Its then that I admit to myself that I'm indeed waiting, for Caspian Kane king.

When he said we were going to meet by 3 without any address or anything, I assume he has plans of making the meeting come to fruition.

So I wait.

And I wait.

I even go down stairs with my cane and wait.

But I wait and wait.

The clock strikes 3, it's then I realize that I got dressed too fast.

He didn't make me wait, I waited all by myself.

A knock sounds at the door and I pick my purse, trying not to limp towards the door.

I open and he's standing there, in a suit, his hair wet from the drizzle earlier, his hands in his pocket, he looks delectable.

I blush at my thoughts.

I wait for him to say something but he doesn't, he seems to be looking at my hair, my hands twitch and they come up to touch my hair, his eyes darkens, his own hands lift, going towards my hair before he seems to regain himself and forces a smile to his lips, his hands falling to his side.

"You look lovely" He says

"Thank you"

"Did you wait long?" He asks, his eyes on my lips. 

"What makes you think I waited?" I retort, well, he doesn't have to be arrogant.

I begin to step out with my cane but he stops me.

"I have a perfectly working arm and shoulder, you can keep that for tonight" He says, gesturing at my cane.

I blink up at him then down at the hand he's offering.

I keep my cane and hold onto his arm,he brings our hand down and he wraps a hand around my wrist, gently pulling me aside, waiting for me to lock the door..

I do so before turning, refusing to acknowledge the warmth this hands has unfurled in my stomach.

When I finish I turn to him.

He leads me to the car, opening the doors and getting me settled.

I turn to him when he climbs behind the wheel.

"So where are we going to?"

He turns to me, his eyes perusing my face.

"We are going to see the stars" He says before reving the car driving away.

 

***

Kane.

 

Hair.

So much hair.

Black inky, curly hair.

I picture her in my bed with nothing but all that hair, spread out on my pillow.

My hand curled in it, holding it as I gently coax orgasm after orgasm from her.

I almost growl when she bites her lip in delight as a shooting star arcs across the sky.

I should be watching the sky with her, as a million stars fall from it but her eyes shine brighter than any piece of rock falling from outer space.

I find myself drifting, wondering what Cash will say if he knows the thought on my mind.

Will he curse me? Support me? I snort, kill me more like.

He left nothing to the imagination after I got back from the hospital yesterday.

He demanded to know what my play is.

My play?

My play?

My play is to seduce the eldest daughter of the Razaq household and get her to give me what is owed my family and to my brother.

I tell him this much but he looked doubtful, until I told him getting the land from her was the first step.

Getting the box from her will be the next.

The Razaq 's will pay, for the death of my brother, the death of my mother and for the pain my weak father is going through.

She giggles and my eyes go to her.

She's fascinating, too bad she's to pay for the sins of her ancestors.

Her eyes turn to me, as if she knows I'm watching her.

"See!" She says in excitement and I look,

"Isn't it beautiful?" She asks, awe I her voice.

"Yes, it's beautiful" I say, my eyes on her.

She turns before giving me a megawatt smile.

As another shooting star zooms by I speak.

"Aren't you going to make a wish?"

She answers, her voice wistful.

"I stopped making wishes a long time ago" My gut tightens but she turns and smiles at me.

My finger twitch, I want to pull her to me so bad, I want her lipstick on my lips as I kiss it off.

But I do none of that.. I have to coax a wish out of her.

Because if she doesn't wish, then how do I play a fairy god seducer?
