It been two months since Mary and Walters became business partners and he was slowly growing unto her from her expressions and change in mood. He was compassionate and attentive. This made Mary open up to him. Just because of this she dreamt that maybe she could have an everyday life. As she dressed up this night to meet him on a romantic date by the beachside, she could feel butterflies in her stomach. She felt so excited like a child who was given candy, she never expected to feel this way but it was happening.

He sent a driver to pick her up, I guess it was because of his preparation for the date she thought to herself. They kept on driving past streets, she looked out the window taking in the view as the car drove past houses when they got to the beach, she knew because of the change in the air that hit her, it was fulfilling and like a breath of fresh air, it was also the way the wind felt on her skin like silk, she was definitely at the beach she said to herself

Soon the car came to a stop, and the driver came down as he moved swiftly to open the door for Mary. She stepped down and the wind found an opportunity to lift her gown, she dressed casually just as Walter had requested, she was sure it was for her to feel free. To complement the simple gown she packed her hair into a messy bun. She soon had a change of idea as she let her fall down to its full length and the wind did its work to blow on it, giving her a charming, graceful look.

As she walked down, she could see lights everywhere. Walter had gone all out for her. Mary's heart skipped a bit as she thought this was such a romantic gesture. A small smile came up her face as she walked on the beach in between candles that led to a small thatch house with openings everywhere that was so beautiful and elegant. As she approached the front of the small cottage she was greeted by Mc-Walters who was in a casual white beach wear with his hands in his pocket and a smile on his face. There and then she knew that she was ready to go the ends of the earth with this man. It was amazing how positive she had been and all he had to do was be nice to her and melt down her walls. For once Mary wanted to just be normal and swept off her feet by a perfect gentleman

He held his hands open signaling to the table and as she stepped in he pulled out a chair letting her sit first then sitting opposite her. Mary was laid back and excited about the evening. On the table was several delicacies making the table look colorful and delicious at the same time. She could see their arrangements and how laid out it looked and she definitely knew he had the best chefs make them. They talked and she laughed with her whole heart, Mary couldn't remember the last time she laughed that way, he made sure to know she had his attention what more could a woman ask for. As they ate as well, he could not stop staring neither could she. To be honest she had not had a good time like this in a very long while.

As they got more comfortable, he slid his hands upwards to hers and took her hand in his as he smiled, he looked her in the eye and she didn't run away from making eye contact. She welcomed his mesmerizing blue eyes and the way it looked into her soul.

Just as she thought the night could not get any better, suddenly the room was filled with men clad in black, and in place of Walter, Night cross was staring her in the face.

"Sit" he said "Its time for business and I would rather I have your attention.
