Chapter Six
Ciel
When Fran’s friends came to pick her up we said nothing else but I did tell her to not forget out date. A date with my Habanero. A day has passed and all I could think of was going on a date with her. I wasn’t the type to bring girls on a date unless you can call a small motel a date. All my thoughts about the date weren’t innocent that every time I thought about it my member would stand in attention.
I went to the bar to hang with Zen and the others but instead of paying any attention to them I would find myself lost in thought of Fran and smiling like an idiot. I guess Fran was right, I am an idiot. But I’m her idiot.
“She must be that good after just one night she has you all dazed.” Zen commented. I ignored Zen and the guys as they started to tease how I’m like a love-struck high school boy. I wouldn’t care what people would say about me as long as it made my Fran happy then I would be fine with it.
I quickly left the bar as I started making my way towards Fancy Cups. I was still smiling like an idiot along the way but as soon as I could see the inside of the shop my smile instantly disappeared. Inside was man wearing decent clothes and he looked like a nice boy. He looked to be flirting with my Fran.
Fran’s eyes turned towards me and the smile of her face disappeared. She quickly said something to the man and turned around to disappear behind the employee door. I stormed inside the shop right as the nice guy was about to exit and I slammed the door on him making him tumble forward. I ignored the guy as I rushed towards the employee door.
“Ciel! You can’t go in there!” Fran’s female friend tried to stop me.
It was like my body had a mind of its own. I saw Fran sitting down at the back of the room pretending she was lost in her cellphone.
“Who was that?” I growled as I pointed where the entrance was located.
“Nanya.” she replied without even looking at me.
“Nanya?” Wasn’t that a woman’s name?
“Nanya-business.” she finished as she put down her phone and exited the employee room. My fists were turning white from clenching too tightly. I didn’t like when men flirted with my Fran or even glanced at her.
Now that she agreed to go out on a date with me she’s now mine.
Fran walked around the shop either cleaning or trying to make herself look busy but I was able to follow her every move. Once she knew that I wasn’t backing down she sighed and said “I don’t believe that I have to explain myself to you.” For a Habanero she could sometimes be so cold.
“We’re dating.” I hissed making sure some of the male customers heard me. She turned around to face me as we both stopped walking around. “We are going on a date but that doesn’t mean we’re dating.” she said.
“Speaking of date, are you ready for tonight?” I asked with a smirk on my face. Fran’s eyes widen but she quickly composed herself. “We’re going tonight?” she asked.
“Yes.” I gave her my simple answer. Fran looked down towards her clothes and I could tell she wasn’t happy about going on a date with what she’s wearing. She was wearing a simple baby pink long sleeve paired with denim skirt that stopped right above her knees and stockings with black doll shoes. Even in simple clothing she looked absolutely magnificent. I can’t even stop myself from imagining taking them off.
“What you’re wearing is fine.” I assured her. She frowned again and argued “I’m not worried about what I’m wearing besides it’s just you.” I won’t lie and say that didn’t hurt. “And I also didn’t agree that it would be tonight. I could be busy tonight.” she added.
This woman doesn’t know when to give up. I knew that somewhere deep inside that fierce heart of hers lies admirable feeling for me. I walked away from Fran making her curious about what I was about to do. I walked up to the counter where stood two of her friends who were always glued to her side.
“Your usual?” Fran’s female friend asked with a boring tone. I decided to at least get my usual since I’m already here. I nodded and asked “Is little miss Habanero free for tonight?”
Both of Fran’s friends glanced at each other as if they were silently communicating. Fran’s female friend faced me as she gave a friendly smile which was rare. “She has her usual shift and she’s also doing the closing tonight,” she said as Fran smiled triumphantly that’s until Fran’s male friend added “But we can cover for her.” As they both gave friendly smiles.
Fran had the look of disbelief written all over her face. “Traitors!” she called out.
“Oh my dear Francesca, you must at least have some fun in your life.” the male friend said. “Even if it’s with some douche who punched you.” the female friend suddenly sounded angry, she even shook her fist in front of me as if she was threatening me. Women and their mood swings are extremely confusing, it’s like an unsolvable puzzle.
“That reminds me… you haven’t apologized yet.” Fran said as she smirked. I had to try and hold the urge to kiss her smirking lips. She stood in the middle of the shop with her hands on her hips looking as if she just won a prize.
I walked up to her and grabbed her chin and I noticed that her body tensed. I held back a groan because such a simple action could stir me with desire. Only my Habanero can make me feel so weak yet at the same time strong.
“I’ll make it up to you all night long.” I teased as her face reddened. She shoved me away from her as I expected. “I’m not some cheap whore nor am I that easy. We will be doing nothing all night long.” she raised her voice.
“Stephen! Angela!” she called out to her friends. Now I remember their name. “You’re supposed to back me up here. He’s the enemy, not me.” she cried out.
“Hon, the only enemy here is yourself.” Stephen said as Fran looked at her feet like they were the ones talking. Angela swiftly walked over to Fran as she took off Fran’s red apron and pushed her towards me.
“She can even leave now.” Angela said.
Those were like music to my ears. Fran’s jaw dropped at her friend’s sudden action. I didn’t hesitate as I grabbed Fran’s soft hand and started dragging her out of the shop. Fran was trying to yank her hand away from mine but my grip on her was as hard as iron. Her friends bid her a farewell and have fun.
“Hey Ciel! Let me go!” she shouted and I’ll give her credit she’s a lot stronger than she seems but nothing I can’t handle. We started grabbing unwanted attention from other places so I spun Fran around until she was snuggled into my arms. I whispered into her ear “Just tonight you’ll be mine. If you don’t want anything to do with me after…” No, I don’t want to say this but I couldn’t stop. “Then I’ll leave you alone.”
She sighed as she frustratingly ran a hand through her hair. “Fine… so much for imagining a Mr. Darcy first date.” she mumbled the last part thinking that I wouldn’t hear it. I smirked as I started leading the way to the main street to grab a taxi.
“Oh, I’ll be way better than that Mr. Darcy of yours, my Habanero.” I said to myself.
