When the hostess showed her to their table, he stood as she took her seat. “Wow, Spice you look amazing,” he said. “Thank you Sir and so do you,” Sugah replied. He blushed. “Thank you. I have been doing a lot of soul-searching since I met you , and I decided to get back into the swing of things. I am still a very good catch , and I owe all thanks to you Spice for helping me to see that. My life has been very interesting for the past week.”
Sugah smiled. She was happy for him. If anyone else was experiencing the good things she was, she was happy for them. She reached across the table and squeezed his hands. “I am so glad to hear that Mr. Blakemore. You deserve the very best. I will keep my fingers crossed for you. I guess this is truly a great celebration for the both of us.” With that being said, Sugah lifted her glass of champagne from the table and waited for her companion to do the same. She toasted, “to new friends and great endeavors.”
“I’ll drink to that,” Mr. Blakemore said taking a sip from his glass. They discussed the final details of purchase of the boat and then when business was out of the way, they talked about everything else. Surprisingly Richard, as he insisted she call him, wasn’t so bad. In fact, they had a lot of things in common, Sugah gathered. She felt herself loosen up and when she looked into his eyes, for the first time she didn’t see him as a client, old enough to be her father, but instead, someone she was slightly attracted to. She felt a spark between them. The thought scared her. She then thought of her mother. Maybe she would introduce them. “Richard, I want you to meet someone. I think the two of you will be good for each other. What do you say?”
Richard was caught off guard but nodded in agreement. “Okay, who is this you want me to meet?” When Sugar mentioned her mother, he was intrigued. Now he didn’t have to feel bad or like a pervert anymore. If she was any indication as to how her mother looked, he was all in. “When can I meet her, Spice ? Do you think she would mind if we called her now ?” Sugah didn’t see any reason why her mother would be upset but she didn’t want to chance it. “Wait right here for a sec, I will be right back.” Sugah left and went into the ladies room for privacy. When her mother answered the phone like her usual self, Sugah was happy. She planned to come for a visit the upcoming weekend and meet Mr. Blakemore. When Sugah went back to the table and told him to good news, he gave her a light kiss on the cheek. He was hopeful that he and Charlotte hit it off and his life wouldn’t be lonely anymore.
Coffee watched in the distance as Sugah and Mr. Blakemore seemed to enjoy each other’s company. He was furious, but she wasn’t his. She didn’t owe him anything, so why did it bother him so much seeing her with another man. He wanted to make her suffer with pleasure. Coffee took a sip of his drink. When he couldn’t take any more of their interaction, he emptied his glass, paid his ta b and left the restaurant without being detected. Sugah however felt his presence. She wanted to get as far away as she possibly could from Mr. Blakemore. Before she excused herself, she thanked him again for his business and passed him one of her new business cards , compliments of Espresso. She also couldn’t wait to introduce him to her mother. They would make a great couple she thought as she left the restaurant and headed home.
When Sugah got home that night, she had a visitor waiting outside her door. He looked sad but the passion inside his eyes, ripped at her heart. She unlocked the door and he followed her inside. When the lock was secure and Sugah turned around, Coffee captured her lips with his own. That night he would mark his territory . T hat night would be one that either one of them would forget.
