Falling For The Billionaire Heir

Colin walked to the front door as directed by the security man. It was Saturday evening. He returned to the country the night before. Colin only spent two days with his dad. He couldn’t stay away much longer because of Becky. Today he was taking her out for dinner.

He pressed the doorbell and waited. He was about to press the bell again when the door opened. Becky smiled into his face, “hey.”

The sight of her sent a stab of excitement straight into his heart. His chest heaved under his shirt, it was so noticeable to Becky. He was tongue-tied for at least a minute as he stared in awe at her beautiful face. She was a mixture of simplicity and elegance.

She was wearing a golden yellow Valeria dress, with a pleated sweetheart bust. Though not too tight, it was a bit curve-hugging, and he liked that.

His reaction gladdened her heart. Her sister had discarded the outfit she wanted to wear at first and picked the yellow dress for her instead.

“This will knock him out,” Betty had said. “You will see.”

Colin leaned over. She could smell the subtle scent of his cologne. She thought he was going to kiss her right there on her father’s doorstep and felt flushed all over.

Colin gulped down the lump which had suddenly formed in his throat and said, “you are so elegant, very dashing!” His voice was low and husky; just for her ears alone.

She chuckled. “Thank you, you look good too.”

He was wearing a light brown short-sleeve shirt with tiny embroidery designs on the lapel and navy blue trousers. His dressing was casual, but classy.

She opened the door wider and said, “please come in.”

Colin walked in and greeted Mr. Andrews, who was in the family room. “Good evening, sir,” he greeted him.

“Hello young man, how are you?” the older man who was watching a program on TV replied and stretched a hand out to Colin. Colin took the hand with a slight bow as a sign of respect.

“Please have your seat,” Mr. Andrews said after the handshake. “You are welcome to our home.”

“Thank you, sir,” he said and sat down on the nearest couch.

“Daddy, this is Colin, my friend,” Becky said to her father.

“I see,” Mr. Andrews nodded and gave Colin a once over. “You are welcome. It’s nice meeting you.”

“Thank you so much, sir,” he already liked the older man. “I’m happy to meet you too, sir.”

Becky turned to Colin and said, “let me get my purse, I will be back.” She dashed away upstairs and returned a few minutes later with Betty and made the introductions. The two of them greeted each other warmly. Betty was so happy to meet Colin.

“We’ll be on our way, sir.” He stood up and took Becky’s hand.

“Okay. Young man,” Mr. Andrews removed his glasses. “I hope you won’t bring her back late?”

“Not at all, sir,” Colin smiled warmly.

“Have a good time then,” Becky’s dad dismissed them with a manly smile at Colin.

“Enjoy yourself,” Betty said.

“We will,” Becky and her sister shared a secretive smile.

Minutes later, they were in his car driving towards the estate gate.

“I like your estate,” Colin said as they approached the gate. “It’s so beautiful.”

“Thank you,” Becky rolled her eyes. “I hope you are not making fun of us, you White Diamond people?”

“No, I am not. ” He liked her sense of humor. “Glittery does not mean beauty, you know.” He turned to her side. They were now out of the estate.

“Did I tell you how beautiful you are?” He couldn’t help himself. He had to ask.

“No, you didn’t say I am beautiful,” she giggled into his eyes, “you only said I look elegant and…. I forgot the other word.”

They both burst into laughter.

“Okay,” he cleared his throat. “I’m telling you now, “you are so beautiful, my dear.”

“Thank you,” she said.

“Do you want music?” He asked.

“I don’t mind,” her eyes darkened.

“Okay,” Colin turned the car stereo on and Selin Dion’s music enveloped them.

He took her to an upscale restaurant. A waiter led to a table for two in a secluded area as soon as they walked into the restaurant and their reservation was confirmed.

They first ordered cocktails; Becky had pineapple rum punch, while Colin ordered orange blossom.

For their main course, they had buttery garlic mashed potatoes with mutton sauce, which they both enjoyed very well.

They ordered molten mango cake for dessert. It was Becky’s suggestion. Colin, who had only had chocolate molten cake before, nodded and agreed to go with her.

“Let’s try this,” Colin took the spoon and waited for her to pick up her spoon, and they both dug their spoons into the decadent dessert at the same time. It was Betty who first took a test, and it even tasted better than she expected.

“So nice,” she moaned with her eyes closed. “Yes, this is good.” Colin agreed.

They ate their dessert in silence for a few moments before he said, “I understood daddy’s warning clearly.” He dropped his spoon and placed his elbows on the table. “He was saying he would penalize me if I brought you home late.”

Becky smiled, “don’t mind my dad. He is always protective of his girls.”

“Yes, I could see that,” he nodded. He already liked the little of her family he had seen. It’s just so similar to his own family. Their love for one another was so evident.

“Are you and Betty the only girls?” He asked.

“Yes, just the two of us and two boys.” She told him. “The boys are still undergraduates. They are both on campus.”

“That’s nice.” Colin’s face brightened up. “I wish to meet them soon.”

“Maybe,” Becky shrugged.

“What do you mean by saying maybe?” He reached over and placed his hand on hers over the table. “I am in love with you Becky can’t you see that already?”
