"Wait a minute, what is fixed? Arianna murmured to herself in confusion.
She slowly turned towards him and found him at the register, he was serious about getting the room.
Aurora’s eyes widened.
“I am so dead! Think fast you idiot!”
She placed her face on the table in frustration.
“Ma’am your order”.
The waiter interrupted her thoughts. Arianna looked up slowly then forced a smile as he placed a bottle of wine on the table and a plate of salad.
She felt her tummy tightening at the sight of salad, she hated vegetables from childhood then even more irritated when the waiter poured the wine into her glass.
He bowed and left.
So this is the french word I ordered? Arianna glanced at the item with a grimace.
"Any problem?"Andre's voice sounded from behind her.
She turned and flashed her full 32.
"I can't believe they actually got my favorite combination here!"
"Wine and salad?"he asked.
"Yes duh"Arianna snapped back.
Andre nodded slowly and sat down.
"I don't know if you are a fan of strong wines".
"What a silly misconception! I am a really strong drinker, when I was a stripper at a club I won a lot of drinking competition".
Arianna chuckled awkwardly and picked up a glass of wine.
A stripper? Andre thought.
Arianna was contemplating on if she should drink the wine first or eat the salad.
She put the wine down and took a spoon of the salad, swallowing hard.
She picked up the glass ready to risk it all but Andre stopped her, secretly she glad he did.
"I don't think you are capable of such alcohol volume, you are quite fragile".
He mouthed and held the glass with her.
"With all due respect, Teddy I am not a child", then her eyes widened as she found the right to accuse him. "Oh you are a sexist, you think I can't take such volume because I am a woman?"
"I never said that,"Andre replied calmly.
"Then take your hand off the glass".
Andre shrugged and did just that.
"Thank you".
Arianna snapped, though disappointed he did as she said.
She brought the drink close to her mouth then put it back down on the table.
Many minutes past an hour, she would eat a tiny bit of the salad and then take a little sip from her wine glass.
Andre was running out of patience. His hand supported his jaw and the other hand finger clicked on the table.
She was purposely wasting his time until he was at his limit.
He stood up and adjusted his tie.
“I think we’ve had enough, we need to retire to the room now”.
“No…I am not done with the salad”.
Andre rolled his eyes and pulled her up from the chair, before she could complain, in a swift he carried her in his arm.
“You can’t force me like that, I will scream and put me down,I am not done with the salad”Arianna yelled out loud.
Creating a scene and turning heads towards them.
“My wife is drunk,so she's really talkative when drunk,"he announced.
Everyone in the room went back to minding their business.
"First I am not your wife, secondly, no one will believe you".
“Being there, women are hard to deal with, brother”.
Someone snapped.
"She's the lady that took that wine, I know it will end up this way".
She heard another say.
Arianna gasped.
“What’s wrong with you rich people, this is an assault, a kidnapping and abuse, someone sir this hotel”Arianna yelled as he carried her up the stairs.
“You wanted this, didn't you?”
Andre mouthed, his breath was normal even though he had to carry her up those stairs, he was so weight fit, she would probably not weigh much in his arms.
“Well yes, but you didn’t let me finish my salad”Arianna sobbed.
“The one you’ve been eating for close to an hour, I .not that patience,I need to get some loaf off my loins”.
"Someone please help me, I am a damsel in distress! Come on you guys"Arianna groaned loudly.
Andre smiled at her struggle and opened the room, slammed the door shut afterwards.
Then he put her down on the king-size bed slowly, he flinged his tie away, loosening his shirt with speed.
Seeing how terrified she looked made him a bit worried.
“This isn’t your first, is it?"
Arianna breathed hard,resting on her elbow.
“Please…what an insult! You think I am old fashioned”.
