The Proud Boss Lady. novel Chapter 50

She wore a blue faux-wrap V-neck sequin dress that hugged her figure tightly.  Deven had planned a surprise for her that night, and she kept wondering what it was yet he never spoke a word. Val was no better, she pretended not to know anything about Deven taking her out tonight.

Those two... I couldn't love them any less. She thought to herself as she picked up her matching clutch, looking into the mirror one last time before descending the staircase. Just as she got to the foot of the staircase, the doorbell rang. 

Perfect timing.

" Come on in," she called as Deven entered. He wore a grey tuxedo, his white shirt wasn't fully buttoned and his toned chest was showing, his hair was parted to the side which made him look incredibly hot that night. In all, he looked charming.

" Like what you see?" he broke her out of her self induced trance.

" Uuhuh..." she nodded slowly as he stretched out his hands to take hers. She gently put her hand in his as they headed out into the night locking up behind her.

" So, where are we going?" she asked sitting in the Rolls-Royce Phantom.

" It's a surprise," he told her cheek. He had planned a beautiful dinner at his penthouse which was 2 hours away from Jersey, City. The drive was interesting, they talk, laughed and sang off key all the way to their destination. Onlookers starred at them weirdly but they didn't care about what they did or said or even how they looked at them.

"We are here," Deven announced parking his car in front of the penthouse. It was located in Atlantic City, NJ, Linwood to be precised.

The penthouse was enormous and extravagant. It was a two-story building, the first floor was entirely glass. " You ready?" Deven asked.

" Umm, yes of course," Nichole answered as they headed into the building. The interior decor was exquisite and comfortable. The floors were made with marbles and the walls painted a warm, homey colour.

" This is breathtakingly beautiful," she added as they climbed up to the first floor. Dinner had been served out on the balcony, the lights of the whole city brightened up the place making it look more beautiful. Deven led Nichole to her seat, helping her sit down before he took his seat.

" This is beautiful," she said for the umpteenth time.

" Not as ravishing as you tonight." he complimented.

" I hope you like your surprise, " he chuckled.

" I love it, thanks Deven." she smiled sipping on her wine. They talked while eating their dinner, about random stuff. The servants cleared the table after they were done with dinner. They brought in their dessert after a while.

It's now or never. 

"Don't say no, no, no, no, no

Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And we'll go, go, go, go, go

If you're ready, like I'm ready

'Cause it's a beautiful night, we're looking for something dumb to do

Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you

Is it the look in your eyes or is it this dancing juice?
