Stalked by the Mafia Boss

Cole had asked Korina to do the honors and pick where she would like to go on their first date and she was absolutely clueless.

She had asked Daniella for help but all suggestions brought forth by her cousin were ridiculous cause they would put them in a position of getting intimate and maybe having sex. Like who the hell proposes getting cozy in the apartment for a third date and he hadn’t even asked her to be his girlfriend yet.

What if he asks? Korina panicked earlier, what do I do?

“So Anne, what are your suggestions?” She was presently on a call with Anne now. Anne wasn’t even in New York City at the moment, she had to travel to an Island which Korina had forgotten it’s name, she had a shoot there.

“Uhhmm… how about the museum?” Anne replied, she was lost and totally dumbfounded. She barely had a love life. She rarely went on dates.

“You are hopeless.” Korina replied causing her friend to laugh, “What the fuck am I going to do at a museum?”

“Huh.” Anne scratched her head, “Stare at artifacts?”

“How’s work going?” Korina asked waving her current predicament aside as she realised her friend would be of no help.

“It’s fine, things are going well.” She sighed, “I met someone, he’s so hot.”

“Slut.” Korina snorted.

“Oh shush will you?” Anne said, “He’s a native, amma have a taste of him before I get out of here.”

“Don’t go on breaking a poor boy’s heart.” Korina warned with an eye roll.

“He ain’t a boy Korina.” She corrected, “He is a man, a grown ass man, a manly man.”

“Well good luck on your carefree, rendezvous activities.” Korina laughed, “I have to go back to finding a date location.”

“Okay babe.” Anne replied, “Bye girl, good luck, I have to go now cause I have an out door shoot tonight.” She looked behind her to see her make up artist hurrying towards her.

“Okay bye.” Korina put the phone down and huffed in frustration, she pulled her hair, she didn’t know what to do next or where to pick for a date.

She closed her eyes while taking in deep breaths only to open them when she heard her phone beep again.

Private number- planning a date without me sweet cheeks?

She read the text and knew it was from the stalker as usual, doesn’t he ever get tired?

You are lucky I haven’t killed him yet.

She read the second text and flung the phone away with a long hiss.

She had a date to plan.

Rooftop dinners weren’t really what Korina fancied but she had no other options in this case and it was her only resort after cracking her brains and not being able to come up with an idea.

It wouldn’t be that bad, She had told herself.

She had never been to a roof top restaurant but figured it wasn’t really bad to try one and it would be perfect for their third date.

She had looked up the restaurant and got some nice reviews and comments on it. She also got to know that they served all manners of delicacies from African dishes to French cuisine, pastries, junk food, smoothies, wines, literally anything you could think off, sea food, Asian food. She made sure the price was affordable and the restaurant wasn’t too fancy before telling Cole it was her pick.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Anne thought her choice was okay, Daniella had thought it was bland and boring.

So, there stood Korina, she was presently in front of a mirror, a dark coloured short mermaid gown adorned her body fitting to it like a glove, her dreads were let down, she decided against makeup and opted for simple black wages for her feet.

I look good, She complimented herself while doing a 360 degree turn in front of the mirror.

She took one more look at herself and nodded in pure fulfillment at her appearance, grabbed a coat and headed out the door.

“Wow.” Cole exclaimed as he drove, “This place sure got the most appropriate and most spacious parking lot I have ever seen.” He complimented maneuvering the car into the restaurant premises.

“Yea, they do.” Korina nodded, “I hope the food is good too.”

“Of course it will be, I checked the reviews.” He said.

He parked the car, they both got down and walked towards the building.

“Did you make reservations?” Cole asked as they increased their pace.

“Nope.” Korina replied, “Reservations aren’t needed here, it’s like a walking into a cafe and grabbing a seat.”

Cole rolled his eyes, “And what if we get in there and the seats are all taken?”

“Stop being a big pessimist, Asshole.” She smacked his arm and he laughed.

“Chill will you?”

She snorted at him and smacked him again.

They walked into the building and saw that various chairs and tables in all sitting areas we’re occupied.

“Oh.” Cole said looking around, “They have a floor restaurant too?”

Korina looked up at him, “Of course Cole.” She rolled her eyes.

He was about to say something but couldn’t has a waitress was already in front of them.

“Good evening.” She greeted, “Sir, ma’am.”

“Good evening.” They both replied the waitress.

“How may we help you?”

“Well.” Korina said, “We are new here and we would love to get a spot on the rooftop for my date.”

“Okay, you would give me a few moments please.” The waitress was tapping on her pad, “I am in the process of requesting a table for you.”

“Could you please make the spot a little secluded?” Cole asked.

“Yes.” She nodded looking back to Cole, “We could do that, let me just send the people at the roof top some more details.”

“I am done.” The waitress said after they had waited for a while, “Come with me please.”

She motioned for them to follow her, they got into an elevator and went up to the roof top.

Korina fell in love as soon as they got to the top. The scenery was simply beautiful.

It was surrounded with glass railings, lights hung up in the air, tables and chairs were spread all over with appropriate spacing.

“Uhhmm, please go take a seat.” The waiter said pulling them from their admiration, “Someone would come take your orders.”

“They both walked and picked a table next to the edge of the railing.

“This place is fabulous.” Cole said as he took his seat.

Korina smiled at him uneasily.

She was having a strange feeling, chills ran down her spine.

God please, She prayed hoping the night would go well.
