The President's Muse
Chapter 10
__
Nia Well's found her self quite distracted by the repeat of the news live. She completely disregarded the amount of application on her desk, her attention only on Him.
"Do the people expect a first lady any time soon?" A lady reporter asked, and Theodore seemed to hesitate at the most asked question.
He looked directly at the camera, sending a jolt through Nia's chest. Her heart raced, unable to resist the magnetic pull of his intense stare."I haven't found someone with the same values as me, and someone to love uncontrollably as much as I would love her. When I do find her, the world would know," the reporter lady nodded, and turned her attention to Myers who seemed bored by his answer.
She switched off the television as things began to escalate. Her hands instinctively tangled in her hair, unable to shake off Theodore Knocks from her thoughts. Ever since she had confessed the truth to him, she had felt a sense of relief, as if a burden had been lifted from her chest. However, that familiar feeling that she had felt years ago was slowly making it's way back.
She didn't know what to do. She couldn't just call him since he was technically going to be the President, well that's if he wins the election but so far from all the comments Nia Well's knew that Myers stood no chance of winning.
She knew Theodore Knocks had this election in the bag.
The sound of her phone ringing snapped her out of her thoughts, confused as to why a private number was calling her. Nia hesitated before answering the call.
"Hello? Who is this?"
"Hey, darling it's Theo," her heart nearly jumped out of her chest, guilt still had a hold of her but she knew that Theodore seem to have forgiven her.
"Hey, Theo, I don't even want to ask how you got my number," she could hear the sound of him chuckling on the end. "Yeah, you don't,"
"Nia-"
"Theo-" they both said at the same times causing them both to chuckle.
"You go first," Nia told him, as she leans back into her chair. "Uh I was calling to ask if you were free tonight, and if you wanted to join me tonight for dinner?"
Without thinking Nia blurted, "A date?"
He chuckled softly, his voice filled with warmth and affection. "Yes, darling, it's a date," She felt like she was 23 again, and on the island, getting asked out by the same man that 23 year old her fell madly in love with.
"You still there Nia?" He asked, hint of worry laced his voice.
"Yes, I'm here," she could almost her him sigh, sigh of relief? She thought. "Yes, Theo, I would love to go on a date with you,"
His voice grew even more tender, as if he was holding back his excitement. "Really? That's wonderful, I can't wait to see you,"
Nia's heart skipped a beat, picturing herself sitting across from him. "how does 7 ish sound?"
She looks up and stares at the clock that says 4:30 pm. "Sounds good to me,"
After discussing the time, she gave Theodore her address and the call ended shortly after, both not knowing when to end the conversation.
She couldn't control the excitement and joy, as she counted down the minutes until work ended.
She watches from her offices as all her coworkers clocked out of work, most bidding her goodbye as they walk pass her office. She still had that smile on her face, even when she was packing her stuff up.
Even though work ended, Nia was usually the last to leave since she was responsible for making sure all rooms were locked, lights were off and no windows were open.
Once inspection was completed, she grab her bag and lock up the building before standing and waiting for Matteo to pull up.
When he did, she quickly got in the car greeting Matteo. "Goodnight,"
"Goodnight Ms. Well's," he was so professional, despite Nia telling him to call her Nia for years ago, but he still insists on calling her Ms. Well's
She sighs and leans her head on the window as he drives off in the direction of her apartment. "Tired?" Matteo asked, and she hummed in response, her mind still wondering about the date.
"Now you can relax," Matteo says, and good thing the back was dark, depending on the moon for a little bit of light or else Matteo would've seen the smile on her face. "Not quite sure about that,"
Matteo looks up at the mirror to see Nia looking out the window. "You going somewhere?"
"A lady doesn't kiss and tell Matteo, sorry but I don't make the rules," Matteo chuckles, and the car comes to a halt. Nia grabs all her stuff and opens the door, as she gets out and closed the door Matteo says. "Have a goodnight Ms. Wells,"
Nia turns to him and sends him a smile. "You to Mr. Flores," Matteo watches as she walks up to her apartment, and waits until she enters the building completely before driving off.
When Nia entered her apartment, she couldn't help but quickly dash towards her bedroom, where she placed all her stuff on the bed and dashed towards her closet.
She felt like a school girl, excited to see her crush for the first time. This was not their first date, obviously which made Nia smile as she thought of their first actual date.
"Close your eyes darling," Theodore says, Nia shuts her eyes, feeling a mix of excitement and curiosity coursing through her veins. She places her hands in Theodore's, immediately trusting him.
As they move forward, Nia's senses come alive. The tantalizing aroma of delectable cuisines wafts through the air, teasing her nostrils. The distant sound of jazz music creates a melodic backdrop, adding to the air of anticipation. Theodore's grip tightens, pulling her closer, and she can't help but wonder where he was leading her.
"You can open it now, love," Theodore's voice is filled with a mixture of excitement and nervousness. Nia slowly opens her eyes, her mouth falling open in awe as she takes in the sight before her. The room is transformed into a romantic haven, with a table adorned with rose petals at its center. The soft glow of candlelight dances across the room, casting a warm and intimate ambiance. The smooth melodies of jazz music fill the air, wrapping them in a cocoon of romance.
"This is beautiful," Nia breathes, her voice barely above a whisper. Her eyes meet Theodore's, and she can see the love and adoration shining in his gaze.
"I couldn't agree more," he says, his voice husky with emotion. Nia's heart flutters as she realizes he has been captivated by her presence all along.
Theodore's hands tenderly cup the sides of her cheeks, his touch sending shivers down her spine. He leans in, his lips meeting hers in a soft, sweet, and passionate kiss. Time seems to stand still as their connection deepens, their souls intertwining in this moment of pure bliss.
They broke apart and stared into each other's eyes. Nia's heart skipped a beat when she realized this was turning point in their relationship.
This was turning into more than she had anticipated.
That was the first kiss they had shared, by that time Nia had known Theodore for nearly a month, she was fighting the urge to kiss him.
When Nia looked up at the time and realized it was already 6:20, she had to quickly settle with her red dress. The dress hugged her curves in all the right places, accentuating her figure.
The stunning red dress, had a daring slit and a captivating cut-out in the front, revealing a hint of her chest area, her hair was left out naturally.
With each step, her heels gracefully added an extra inch to her already impressive height.
While walking into the kitchen, her phone ding, a message from. Theodore.
From: Theo 💕
I'm outside, I'll wait if you're not finished. I'm in no rush.
Nia felt her eyes welling up, as texted him back.
To: Theo 💕
I'm finished just need to get my pills, and I'll be down.
Nia was so glad she could be honest and not get judgement which was a relief for her.
Her cheeks stung when he replied immediately.
From: Theo💕
Okay darling, I'll be right here waiting.
Darling. Her heart melted.
With a smile on her face she quickly walked over to her medicine cabinet and pulled out her pills. She didn't have to take it with her but it just felt right since she was going to have her second meal for the day considering she skipped breakfast.
She carefully placed her keys, phone, and medication in her black purse before leaving her apartment. Before exiting, she double-checked the door to ensure it was locked.
She immediately spotted Theodore's car, as two secret service men stood nearby. Her heels made a distinct clicking sound against the pavement as she approached. Theodore emerged from the car, clad in a sleek black Armani suit. His eyes scanned her up and down, and a smile formed on his face.
As she drew nearer, Theodore's gaze continued to roam her figure, his eyes filled with lust and perhaps even love. But that was too early? Nia's thoughts were all over the place. "You remember?" he asked, a hint of emotion evident in his voice as he locked eyes with her.
"How could I ever forget that red is your favorite color," Theodore smiled, walking closer to her. With a gentle grasp, he spun her around, eliciting a delightful giggle from her lips. "Wow,"
"You are utterly breathtaking, just as you were five years ago, Nia," he whispered, leaning in to plant a tender kiss on her flushed cheeks.
Thank God for being black. She silently praised.
She followed him into the car.
As they settled in, their bodies gravitated closer, his leg brushing against hers, igniting a tantalizing sensation that sent electric currents down her spine. "Where are we heading?"
"It's a surprise," Theodore responded, and turned to face her, his eyes filled with anticipation.
As her hands moved nearer to his, Theodore couldn't resist the urge to take action. He bravely reached out and entwined their fingers, experiencing a surge of electricity coursing through his body. The power of their touch sparked an intense fire within him, overwhelming his mind and fueling his deepest desires.
She turned her gaze towards him, her eyes shimmering with curiosity. A smile danced upon her lips, captivating Theodore's heart. Unable to resist the allure, he delicately lifted her hand to his lips, planting a tender kiss upon her skin.
"You really are beautiful," he said, his voice barely audible.
His words lingered in the air, heavy with an intoxicating blend of longing and adoration.
