Furtive Admirer

Chapter 50

"Let's go out" he said his eyes fixated on hers

She smiled and licked her bottom lip earning a sigh from Tyler as her stunt didn't go unnoticed. His eyes rolled back to her eyes

"What do you say?"

"You know I wouldn't deny" she gave him a low-key downward smile

Tyler grinned

"True dat"

His smile vanished as his eyes rolled down to her lips again  and lowered his face capturing her lips

End of flashback

They had agreed or rather Tyler decided they go out the next day

That is how Alex found herself standing in the living room now waiting for her man to appear from the hallway

He sure was taking his time

Wanting to pass time she walked to the window and looked at the view outside, it was now dark and the city lights added more beauty to the city view

No matter how long she was going to live in the house, the view from up there was one thing she could never get enough of

Tyler's house really had the best view of the city

As she stood there admiring the city, a shiver ran down her spine as she felt a presence behind her, she felt hands slowly caress her arms

"Hey" he whispered

"Hi" she said about to turn around but he stopped her

A wave of confusion hit her as she wondered what he was on about, didn't he want to see her? Appreciate beauty?

No?

Her confusion was cut short when she felt a necklace on her,Tyler turned her as soon as he was done putting it on her and looked at the necklace with a smile

Alex's hand found her way to it and touch the letters that was engraved on the necklace

A&T

She smiled knowing the meaning of the abbreviation and looked up to him

"I love it, thank you" she smiled

He nodded with a small smile as he stared at her face

"You look beautiful tonight" he said

"You look good too" she said and dusted invisible dust on Tyler's shoulders "you should wear Armini suits more often"

That earned a deep chuckle from Tyler

"Roger" was all he said before he put his hand on her back to usher her out and get started with their night

"So where are we going?" Alex asked as Tyler drove around town

"Just some restaurant a few minutes from here"

"Which is?"

"Here" he said as the car stopped in front of a building

Alex looked outside and read the name of the building before her eyes went as wide as sourcerers

"You got a reservation at Sam's Exquisite at such a short notice"

Tyler gave her a proud smirk

"Well what can I say, I'm-"

"Shoosh don't be cocky" she giggled

They both laughed a little

"Fiona would be serving us herself if she was here" Alex said

"Yeah" he smiled remembering how his sister-in-law reacted when she found out about them dating

"Enough of the sad vibes let's get inside" Alex said before opening the door

She stepped outside as Tyler got out off the car and threw the keys to man Alex didn't notice

"You stole my shine" Tyler said as his hand laid on her back

"What?" Alex glanced at him as they walked in the restaurant "wow"

Her eyes examined the room as she took in every detail of the huge restaurant full of what looked like elegant people

The room was 50 meters wide with black metal table with golden lining half a meter away from each other, the walls were brown and a golden crystal chandelier hang on the ceiling illuminating the whole room

There was a few people here and there, others working on their computers, others having a chat and others obviously on their dates

"Mr Nowels, welcome" A lady in her mid thirties appeared out of nowhere startling Alex

"Is my table ready?" Tyler asked

"Yes sir, follow me"

Alex slid her hand into Tyler's as they followed the lady

Tyler looked down at her and smiled as he watched her look around in awe, her eyes roamed around the place with a small smile on her face

She was excited he could tell, taking her out wasn't purely a mistake

Right there he planned on taking her on as many dates as possible
